I'm So Sick {BoyxBoy & FIN}

Together

Who knew the bright light could be so beautiful? I lived in darkness for a year until Shay came back and brought Andy, Sterek, and Griffin into my life. I'm not sure about Keith because he randomly wanted to change for me but it was worth a shot.

Opening my mouth a little bit. I stared at the ceiling, the beeping causing my head to throb. Was my parents okay? Did someone catch Jake? How am I in the hospital? I turned my head to the right to see Sterek, Andy, and my parents sleeping in different angles. Sterek held my hand in his, leaning his head on the side of the bed that I was lying on. I rubbed my thumb on his palm and let go of his hand. I touched his cheek with my finger tips and smiled.

His eyes fluttered opened, yawning in the process of his awaken. When he saw me, he jumped out of chair and smiled widely. "He's awake! Doctors come in!"

The door busted opened and a few nurses came in and checked everything about me. My parents and Andy slowly woke up, blinking and yawning when they heard the noises in the room. My mom gasped and quickly hugged me, kissing my face. My mom's hair half red and half blonde, blood shot eyes, and rugged clothes. My dad had rugged clothes too but they had dried blood and ripped spots. His was were blood shot too and it looked like he haven't slept in weeks. His unshaven beardmade him look older, making him looked different. They wore same clothes I saw when I found them on the flood bleeding and bruised.

I took a sip of my water and winced. I felt hands prints on my throat. It burned every time I tried to swallow something. I looked around confusingly and saw the looks of everyone. I wanted to tell them the reason why I woke up and what happened after they for knocked out. Would they believe me? Would they believed that I talked to their dead son and that I was I'm the middle of Earth?

A woman came. She had brunette hair that flowed on her shoulders, light make up, and a dazzling smile that shined the room. Good thing I didn't have that other doctor who wanted to know everything about my life.

"Hello Gabriel, I'm Ms. London and I will be your doctor until you get better," she said kindly. I gave her a thumbs up and she smiled widely. "Okay, you will be leaving when you feel better. There are hand prints on your neck but they will disappear in a few weeks."

Everyone looked relieved that I was going to be okay. But I wasn't too sure about Jake. Was he in jail? Did he run away? When Ms. London didn't move a muscle, I knew there was more I had to know. "Gabriel, we're happy to have you back. You were gone for 3 minutes and we thought we couldn't get you back until your heart started beating again."

"Must be a miracle," my mom said happily.

Shay stood behind Ms. London and smiled.

I smiled slowly and said in a hoarse voice, "Yeah, must be a miracle."

I didn't know if there was a God or not. It didn't cross my mind because I never knew how important it was for me. Seeing Shay as a ghost and bringing me into the light, brought a new world for me that I couldn't waste my life for silly things. People needed me and I couldn't leave them without making things right.

Cassandra and her family visited me.  Cassandra looked happy to see me but her eyes were red and her hair was sort of messy and neat. The others looked like a mess. If I really died, how would they be right now? Would they hold themselves together? Would they keep in contact or forget about each other? Cassandra sat on the hospital bed and ran a hand thorough my hair.

My parents, Sterek, and Andy left to go home and rest. It took them a long time to trust Cassandra to let her stay with me for a few hours. Zayden, Rhett, and Nelson slept on the uncomfortable chairs.

"Zayden was in a fight," Cassandra said suddenly. I rubbered my throat and stared at her.

"He fought a guy because the guy was paid to best up Zayden for what he did. But...I think the guy wanted to kill Zayden. If his father or his brother wasn't with him, I wouldn't know why to do with myself. It was my job to make him feel better and if he was gone, I just wouldn't know what to do."

Cassandra cried on her hands and I grabbed her head, placing her on my chest. Cassandra quiet down a little but hearing her choke on her own sobs broke my heart.

"I'm here. Zayden is here. Don't forget that," I whispered.

I didn't want to wake Zayden, Rhett, and Nelson up to see a worried and sad Cassandra. My throat was on fire still, tiny starches inside and needles poking inside but Cassandra needed me. We had to pull ourselves together. Cassandra pulled away and wiped her eyes, nodding and chuckling. I chuckled too and hugged her.

Three boys rushed inside and they froze near the door. They looked about Rhett;s age but they had their own looks. The young man in the middle had black hair and blue eyes and he had a hat backwards. The one next to him had brown hair and dark green eyes. The last one had blonde and brown hair, like mine, but he had brown eyes. They walked towards Cassandra and the boy with black hair and blue eyes asked, "We came as quickly as possible."

Cassandra smiled and rubbed his arm.

The boy with brown hair and dark green eyes smiled at me and said, "We heard what happened to you. Zayden and Cassandra was freaking out so we knew they needed more comfort."

I nodded and smiled. "It's fine. I understand."

His smiled faltered and his eyes turned worried. "Are you okay? What happened?"

I rubbed my throat and he cringed. I didn't want to see the hand prints because it would cause me to throw up. "What is wrong with people? Why would someone do this to you?" The boy asked with blonde and brown hair and brown eyes.

I shrugged. I knew I hurt Casper feelings but I had a reason. Jake was just his friend who was doing what a "friend" would do. Who would kill a dog for his "friend"? Who would choke the boy who turned him gay? Who would almost kill a family to cause pain? Jake would. He knew how much this meant to me and if he destroyed those important things, then I would feel more pain. They smiled softly at me and said I hope get well and that they will find whoever did this to me.

"People do the stupidest and cruelest things for others to feel pain and be happy. That's life, Gabe." Shay said blankly.

I raised an eyebrow but Shay gave me a kind smile and walked out of the room, not glancing back. Zayden, Rhett, and Nelson started waking up. My parents and Sterek and Andy came back for a last visit and met the three boys, Zayden, Rhett, and Nelson. I felt de-stress. I had new people who cared about me. my friends and parents meeting my other friends who gave me the courage to believe that life wasn't so bad. We came together.
