Love In A Coma

Chapter 8

Chapter 8.
A few weeks after William had woken up, the boys were both allowed to leave, even though they were on strict bed rest, which made Eric upset, cause he couldn't be with Joanna anymore. After a lot of thinking, he came up with a devious plan in order to get her home. He put his plan into action when Erin came up the stairs, holding his food, smiling.
"Hey. Mom asked me to bring up yours and Billy's dinner since she and Keith are watching The Titanic downstairs." She smiled as she handed him the bowl of chicken noodle soup, making him groan.
"Erin, I've had this three times this week! When can I have real food?"
"They don't want you to eat anything too rough for your stomach for a few more days. Sorry."
Eric decided it was time to put his plan into action, cause not only he couldn't have Joanna, but he'd get to eating that disgusting soup that had been forced down his throat several times. He moved his hands to his side and let out a fake moan and Erin's eyes widened in fear. She moved closer to him, smoothing his hair out.
"Eric? Are you alright?"
He shook his head no as he bit his lip dramatically while clutched his side tighter, irritating it a little as Erin pulled out her cell and started texting hopefully Joanna. She quickly put her phone back in her pocket as she held out her hand for Eric to squeeze as she smiled at him.
"I texted Joanna. She'll be here soon. Why don't you get some rest?" Erin suggested as she turned on the monitor that was connected to her phone so she could watch her younger brothers.
Eric nodded as he rolled on his side, trying to get comfortable as Erin turned out the light and left.

Erin was carrying a plate with small helpings of mashed potatoes and steak, knowing that one of William's medications diminished his appetite. Suddenly she saw Angela and Paris, coming and making her almost drop the food on the ground, but she quickly saved it before glaring at the two girls.
"What are you two doing here?"
"I came to check on Billy." They both answered simultaneously before glaring at each other.
"Ok...Can you take Billy his dinner and turn on the monitor? I wanna keep a eye on him, but don't force him to eat." She explained as the girls eagerly nodded before grabbing at his plate, while Erin dodged their grabby hands and placed it in the younger one's hands before leaving, going to see if Joanna was there. Luckily, she was and they quietly snuck through the kitchen, trying not to disturb Karly and Keith. They got into Eric's room, where, since he had heard them, was moaning and groaning as Joanna sat down beside him on the bed.
She gently pulled the covers down to reveal his dark gray t shirt, she motioned for Erin to leave as she pulled it up, revealing his stomach and side. Eric had his eyes closed, not wanting to see what she was gonna do to him when her heard her open her bag for a minute before she laughed.
"Eric, you can open your eyes. I know what was bothering you, but you could've just called me."
Eric slit open his eyes to glance up at her as she pecked a kiss on his lips.
"So what were you grabbing out of your bag then?"
"My lip gloss, silly. Now, I recommend you get some rest, and if needed, just shoot me a text, and I'll be over as soon as possible."
"Bye."
"Bye, goofball." Joanna laughed as she left the house.
Meanwhile, Angela had insisted on feeding William while Paris gave him a foot massage, which while it was relaxing, the boy had endured them babying him for TWO HOURS. After he had refused any more food, thanks to his medication, even though he would've LOVED to have eaten more steak, he suddenly snapped.
"Would you two quit?! You are getting on my nerves and I am sick of it!"
"Have you made your decision yet?" Paris spoke up.
"What decision?"
"About who you are gonna date." Angela supplied.
"Wait. All of this was you two fighting and trying to impress me?"
"Yeah, but-"
"You didn't even care about me the entire time I was in the hospital, did you? You just wanted to date William Brent, didn't you!?" William demanded, starting to get more and more enraged.
"Babe-"
"Just get out! I don't wanna see you two EVER again!" He yelled, making both the girls jump up and leave, Paris with tears in her eyes as Angela glared at him.
"Your just a evil jerk, William Brent Unger. I hope you know that."
Before slamming the door, filling William with regret as he grabbed one of the pillows and buried his face into it, knowing he just destroyed two amazing friendship along with a wonderful relationship, because Angela was right. He was a evil jerk. After twenty minutes, he heard the door open and close gently, a few minutes apart, knowing that his possible future step dad left, as he went downstairs slowly, careful not to rip the stitches in his arm or aggravate his broken ribs anymore then possible. He had made it halfway down when Karly saw him, gasping.
"Billy, what are you doing down here? You should be in bed."
She then wrapped her arm around him and helped him back into bed as she sat beside him, stroking his hair.
"What happened, sweetheart?"
"I just made the worst mistake of my life."
Will William gain back his friendships with Paris and Angela? What about Eric and Joanna? Or Karly and Keith?
Over and out.
