Chapter 14
PETER'S POV
*One Week Later*
I met Brooklynne after school, kissing her lips and grabbing her hand. Since everything that happened last week, my parents wrote a note to get me out of gym and they're making me take the bus. Now, it seems like whenever I walk long distances, I get dizzy as well. This is really weird.
"Hey faggot!" I heard one of my bullies, Jimmy call.
"Shut up." I growled, continuing to walk to the bus. All of a sudden, he kicked the back of my knees, causing me to fall to the ground.
"Peter!" Brooklynne exclaimed.
"Stay out of it Brooke! Get on the bu-OW!" I screamed as I was kicked in the stomach, causing me to roll on my back. I heard the buses roar to life, meaning they were going to leave in about a minute.
I was picked up by my shirt and pinned to the wall, three guys now beating the shit out of me. I tried to fight back but I felt myself getting weaker. I started to feel my heartbeat in my throat and could hear it in my ears. I started to freak out and have a panic attack, causing me to hyperveneilate.
"He looks like a fish out of water!" One of the boys laughed. I couldn't tell who, my vision was beginning to get cloudy. I tried to scream out for help but no sound came out. Suddenly, I got a sharp pain in my chest and my stomach, my arms flying to both.
"Aww the little babys cwying." One of the boys mocked as they smashed my head against the wall. Before I knew it, everything went black.
BROOKE'S POV
"Shit! Let's get out of here!" Jimmy exclaimed as they dropped Peter's limp body to the ground.
"Peter." I cried, laying his head in my lap. His breathing was slow and I began to freak out.
"HELP! HELP!" I screamed, pulling out my phone. I found a student and stopped them with tears in my eyes. "Please go get the nurse or a teacher or someone! He's going to die!" The student's eyes got wide and they ran back to the school. I dialed Austin's number as I began to sob.
"Brooklynne?" Austin said as he answered. I sobbed into the phone, unable to speak. "Brooklynne, what's wrong?"
"Peter." I managed to say.
"What? What happened to Peter?" His dad asked, suddenly alarmed. I saw the nurse running out, a phone in between her ear and shoulder.
"I-I'm on the phone with his p-parents." I managed to say.
'Tell them to get to the hospital. I just called for an ambulance." The nurse said, placing an ice pack on Peter's forehead and trying to clean up some of his wounds.
"G-Get to the h-hospital. H-He was beat up r-really badly."
"We'll be right there. Do you need to be picked up?"
"No, I-I'm just going to g-get a ride in the a-ambulance."
"Okay, see ya' Brooke." He said and hung up. The ambulance arrived about five minutes later, the paramedics rushing out and loading him into the ambulance.
"C-Can I go? I-I don't have a ride and h-he's my b-boyfriend." I cried to one of the paramedics.
"Sure, hop on in." I thanked him, climbing in and sitting down, watching as they hooked up IV's to Peter and gave him an oxygen mask, trying to keep him alive. It took about ten minutes to reach the hospital and when we did, the paramedics rushed Peter into the hospital. I got out and walked into the waiting room, seeing his parents and sister.
"Brooklynne!" His parents exclaimed, rushing to me, his mom pulling me into a hug as I sobbed into her shoulder. They brought me over to where I was sitting and sat me down.
"Brooklynne, what happened?" His dad asked once I was calm enough to speak.
"W-We were just walking to the bus when some guys knocked him down and pinned him to a wall, beating the shit out of him. After a few minutes, he started to have a panic attack, the bullies just laughing at him and continuing to beat on him. After that, he clutched his stomach and chest before he just passed out. The guys ran so they wouldn't get in trouble, leaving him just lying there." I sobbed. By the end of my story, his mom was sobbing and his dad had a shocked look on his face.
"I-I'm sorry I didn't try to help."
"No, it's perfectly fine Brooklynne. You did the right thing by sticking by his side and getting help. We don't need two in the hospital." His dad reassured me.
"I-Is Peter going to be okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure he will. Let's just give it some time and see what the doctor says."
"Austin, you don't think he has-"
"No, I bet he doesn't." He said, shaking his head.
"What?" I asked, looking between the two with worry.
"She's just worried he may have my heart disease, but I don't think he does. He's a strong boy." He said, patting my shoulder. I nodded, wiping my eyes. "Hey, why don't you call your parents, tell them where you are." I nodded and stood up, walking off to a quiet place.
