Love In A Coma

Chapter 9

Chapter 9.
After hearing some sobs from his older brother's room, Eric pulled the covers off and stood up, only to feel pain. He brought his hand back to see blood on his fingertips and fell to the floor in pain and shock. Eric called the first name that came into mind, which wasn't Joanna, but was.
"ERIN!"
He soon enough heard her run up on the stairs and gasp when she saw what happened. Erin helped him up and placed him in the bed before going into the bathroom, coming back with a few towels and some bandages. She grabbed one, placing it on his side, which resulted in a groan to escape from Eric's lips while the elder reached for her phone, texting Joanna explaining the situation. After that she put it down on the night table and checked the blood flow.
"Alright, it's mostly slowed down, Eric. You probably will be fine." She smiled, smoothing down his hair.
"Joanna will be here in a few minutes to check you out and she said that she'll probably stay for the night, to make sure your ok."
She stood up to leave, only for Eric to reach up and grab her hand, smiling.
"Thanks...I'm glad your my sister."
"And I'm glad your my brother."
She turned around to go comfort William when she saw Joanna, who went over to Eric, and she decided to stay, but was happy that it had only turned out to be a rip from one of his stiches. At first, Joanna was gonna leave, but she could tell Eric was in pain, so she decided to stay in the guest room, which was right beside Eric's. While Erin went to go set it up, Joanna smiled as she ran her fingers through Eric's hair while cracking a joke.
"We just saw each other yesterday. Did you have to hurt yourself?"
"Haha." He smiled, gently pushing himself up while grabbing one of Joanna's hand. "Joanna Lyla Gardiner, I have loved you since I first laid eyes on you, and ever since, I haven't been able to take my mind off of you. So...will you be my girlfriend?"
She smiled as she kissed his cheek.
"Yes."
Just then, Erin came back in, as Joanna stood up and went into the guest room, but when Erin wasn't looking, blew a kiss at the teen, making him blush.
Meanwhile, William was still sniffling as Karly rubbed his back soothingly when Erin came in, seeing his tear stained face.
"What happened, Billy?"
"They hate me now, Erin. I hate myself now." He told her before looking back at the wall, as his sister looked at their mother for a more detailed explanation.
"Billy yelled at Angela and Paris. They got mad, and now he's mad at himself."
Erin sighed upon hearing this, sitting on the bed and stroking her brother's hair.
"Billy, don't stay hung up on them. You don't have to love either of them. You are still young, and you have plenty of time to find your meant to be."
"That's the cheesiest thing you have ever said."
Erin found this a opportunity to make him laugh as she replied.
"No. Provolone Gouda Bre Colby Pepper Jack. THAT is the cheesiest thing I've ever said."
Her attempt worked as he laughed while wiping off his face.
"You are terrible, Erin."
She laughed and she kissed his forehead.
"See? That made you smile. Now keep it on your face, and you are sure to find a new girlfriend. Love you."
"Love you too, Erin."
Erin went to bed, with Karly following shortly after while William was tossing and turning, trying to get comfortable when he heard his phone go off to see he had a new message on Instagram from a unknown account, which was simply titled "E" , which said.
"Hey Billy. I'm a friend of Joanna's and she asked me to talk to you. You don't have to respond, but she said your in a bit of a tough place right now and might wanna talk. Thanks for reading, E."
Feeling confused about this, he simply looked up E's account to see she was a low key actress and Instagram model, so smiling, he replied with a simple.
"Hi E."
The end.
Oh boy...left you with a cliffhanger there...New book coming soon. :)
