Chapter 9: Awake

Chapter 9: Awake

PETER'S POV

I woke up with Brooke's head on my shoulder. I smiled, wrapping my arm tighter around her. Her parents left a few hours ago but Brooke refused to leave me. They said they would be back at the end of visiting hours and honestly, I don't want that to come. I want to stay like this forever. Brooke sleeping on my shoulder and my arm around her. Brooke's phone rang, waking her up.

"Hello? Okay, bye." She hung up and turned to me. "My parents are here."

"Alright." I said, standing up and walking to the door with her. We walked back to the waiting room in silence. I scanned the waiting room to see the guys of OM&M and FIR, Ronnie's wife, my grandparents on my mom's side and my grandpa on my dad's side. I guess the other girls were home taking care of the kids.

Brooke and I continued walking out until we found her parents in their car.

"Promise you'll tell me if anything happens?"

"Promise." I smiled. She held open her arms and I wrapped my arms around her in a tight hug.

"Are you coming to school tomorrow?" She asked as we pulled apart and I shook my head.

"I don't think so."

"I'll get your homework for you."

"Thanks." I smiled.

"No problem, bye Peter."

"Bye Brooke." I said as she ran over to her parents. I walked back into the hospital and back to my mom's room. I sat down and sighed, everybody still asleep.

Suddenly, I heard a groan. I turned to look at my dad and sister, both of them still asleep. I heard the groan again and turned to look at my mom. I slowly got up and walked over to her.

"Mom?" I saw her moving a bit. "Mom." I said with a smile, grabbing her hand. Suddenly, she started choking because of the tube down her throat. I pressed the nurse button and a few nurses rushed in, pushing me out of the way. They pulled the tube out of her throat and did a few tests.

I looked over to see my dad sitting up just as the nurses left.

"Peter, whats going on?" He asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Mom's awake." I said with a smile. My dad jumped and ran over to her.

"Victoria." He said with a smile, gripping her hand, leaning down to kiss her. He wrapped her in a tight hug before letting go and going to wake up Belle. I latched onto my mom, tears pouring from my eyes.

"I'm so sorry mom." I cried.

"Peter, it's okay."

"No it's not! It's all my fault you're in here." She grabbed my face and looked directly into my eyes.

"All that matters is that you're safe." She said, kissing my forehead. "I love you Peter."

"I love you too mom." I stepped out of the way so Belle could have her turn. I sat back down and watched as my dad pulled out his phone.

"I'm going to see if you kids can stay with Ronnie. You need to rest up for school."

"I'm not going to school." I said.

"Peter, you need to go. How long have you been out of school?"

"A couple days. I haven't gone since your accident." I shrugged.

"Peter, you need to go. You can't get behind."

"Don't worry, Brooke's getting my homework, I'm fine. I want to stay and help you."

"Peter, that's what I have your father here for. Go to school."

"No." She just sighed.

"Belle, have you been going?" She nodded. "Good girl." My mom smiled.

"Peter, you can stay home one more day, then you have to go back." My dad said and nodded.

"I'll go check if Ronnie's out there, Belle come with me." She nodded and stood up, saying goodbye to my mom before following my dad out.

"I'm so glad your awake mom." I said with a smile.

"So am I."
