what are we? (an Anthony Trujillo fanfiction)

Aftermath & Forgiveness

I started blinking, slowly opening my eyes to view my surroundings. I was hooked up to a monitor and there was an enormous blanket on me. I look to my right to see someone sleeping on the sofa. Whoever's body it was,was too big to be Erika or Tessa.

It must be Anthony.

I try to talk, barely being able to let out a grunt. My mouth feels like I haven't drank water in a week.

I let out another grunt, this time louder.

Anthony turns around and lifts his head. Our eyes meet.

He looks tired. His eyes are red, and his hair messy.

Memories of last night flood back to my head.

How we were dancing, how I ordered a drink, how I lost Anthony and found him. With another girl. I remember that I went into an uber.

"Hey..." he starts.

"Uh." I barely let out a noise.

"Wat..water." I try to say

Anthony calls in the nurse to check up on me.

"Hello. How are you feeling?" Asks the nurse.

"G-good," I reply

"I'll give you some water." Says the nurse

She comes back in with a cup of water. I slowly drink it. My mouth feels a million times less dry now.

"Do you remember what happened?" Asks the nurse.

"Yeah I think." I say

"Someone put a strong drug substance in your drink. It caused you to pass out. Also you were extremely dehydrated." Says the kind nurse.

"Oh. Is the drug out of my system?" I ask

"Yes it is. But you should rest for a couple of days. Drink a lot of water and eat light food like soup and potatoes. The doctor will clear you to go home in a couple of hours."

"Thank you so much." I tell her.

She smiles at me and exits the room.

"Are you hungry?" Anthony asks me.

"Can you get me yogurt?"

"Sure." He leaves the room for a couple of minutes and comes back with yogurt.

"Listen, about-"

I cut him off, "I don't want to talk about it."

"Okay." He says

I can see the sunken expression in his face. He looks sad, almost guilty.

Anthony and I are driving back to the house. The doctor cleared me and told me I should completely recover in about a day.

We make it back to the house. We're met by cheering and yelling fans.

"Are you two dating?"

"OMG #Y/S/N!"

I walk into the house. Immediately, Erika hugs me.

"Are you feeling well?" She asks.

"Yeah I'm fine." I say.

The others ask me if I'm okay, I reassure all of them that I'm fine.

Erika and I walk into the room that we're sharing.

"Want to talk about it?" She asks.

"Not really."

"Okay. We won't."

"I just wish I had my own place here." I say.

"Well...if you start modeling here or start a YouTube channel, you can get your own place. Or if you get signed to Team 10." She smiles

"What? Seriously?" I say

"Yeah. You fit here perfectly. Jake and I were talking about it. Don't tell him I told you though."

I smile.

"That's great." I say

Honestly it would be amazing to join Team 10. I love everyone part of it, and it truly feels like a family. Things between Anthony and I would be weird, but who cares? I wouldn't give this opportunity up over a boy.

"I just thought you should know...that I tried to make Anthony go home, but he insisted on staying with you in the hospital. I wanted to stay but he wouldn't let me. I hope you're not mad." Says Erika

"No, E. why would I be mad? Thank you so much for looking out for me.

We smile at each other.

....2 days later.
---------

These past two days have consisted of me eating, drinking, sleeping, and watching Netflix. I've spent most of the day in Erika's bedroom.

Right now I'm watching a show called Riverdale. It's a great show.

*Knock Knock*

I open the door, and it's Anthony.

"Hey." He says

"How are you feeling?" He asks

"Good. Want to talk?" I ask

"Yeah."

"So I wanted to talk about what happened." He says

"I just...I thought I meant more to you than that. What you did...it shows me that I can't trust you." I say

"You can trust me. What I did was incredibly stupid. I promise I'll never do anything like that. Please forgive me. I don't know what I'll do without you, y/n. All I've been doing for these past days is thinking about you, and how much you mean to me. And how much I'd suffer if I lost you. Please y/n. I promise it'll never happen again."

He sounds genuine. He has a sad look in his eyes. He's nervously biting his fingernails.

"Anthony. What you did really hurt me. But I know there's more to life. Life is too short to be sulking and holding grudges. What happened to me that day shows that life can suddenly end. And I know I'd regret it if I lost you. Anthony, please give me time to forgive you. It might take a few days, or even months. But know that I do still like you a lot, and I want you to wait for me."

I look into his eyes. They look happier than before.

Suddenly he grabs me and pulls me into a tight hug. I don't know if I should cry or laugh in arms. I let out a few tears, and I'm sure he did too because when we pulled away my shoulder was damp.

I hope this wasn't a mistake.
