Chapter 23: Home
PETER'S POV
*Two Weeks Later*
The doctors decided that, after two weeks, I could go home. Brooke stayed with me 24/7 for the entire two weeks. She vowed to stay by my side for the six weeks of bed rest. I'm not so sure she'd want to stick around for that long.
I know her parents are aggrivated that they never see her anymore, but at the same time they understand. I bet that she'll get bored and end up going home halway through. I didn't mind her being around all the time because it gave me company.
My dad carried me into the house and into my room. Another good thing about this surgery i that my parents have to wait on me hand and foot since I can't move. I stripped down to my boxers, covering myself up with my covered before letting Brooke come in.
She crawled in on the empty side of my bed, wrapping her arms around my body.
"I'm so happy you're alive and healthy and okay." She said, placing kisses on my jawbone.
"Me too. I can't wait for these six weeks to be over. It's only been two weeks and I want to walk again." I whined.
"After you're better, we can go run a mile."
"Sounds like a plan." I winked and we both laughed. We fell asleep, holding each other.
TORI'S POV
*One Week Later*
I heard a knock on the front door and got up to open it. I smiled when I saw Alex and his wife, Jessica.
"Oh, hey."
"Brooklynne needs to come home." Alex growled.
"Alex honey." Jessica said, placing her hand on his shoulder and pulling him back. "We just think Brooklynne should come home for a night since she's been away for such a long time. I know her and Peter are happy hanging out together, but...yeah."
"Oh, of course." I said, turning around.
"I don't need him fucking my daughter!" Alex exclaimed.
"What?" I asked, turning around.
"Alex!" Jessica exclaimed, slapping his arm.
"Woah, what's going on here?" Austin asked, rushing up to the door.
"I know what your fucking son is planning. He wants to fuck my daughter. Well not on my fucking watch. She's fucking coming home right fucking now. I don't trust her up in that room alone with that boy."
"Alex!" Jessica exclaimed again.
"Woah, slow down there a bit Alex." Austin said. "You think that would be on his mind when he just had heart surgery? You might want to think before you talk abolut my fucking son." Austin hissed.
"Woah there, back down." I said, pulling Austin back as Jessica held Alex back.
"Just get my fucking daughter." Alex sneered.
"Okay, I think it's time for you to go home. I'll get her." Jessica said, pushing Alex away from our front door.
"I SWEAR TO GOD IF HE LAYS A FUCKING HAND ON MY DAUGHTER!"
"SAY ONE MORE WORD ABOUT MY SON AND THIS FIST IS GOING TO GO RIGHT IN YOUR FACE!" Austin yelled as Alex walked away.
"Okay, go back to the living room. We don't need any fights." I said, pushing Austin away from the door. He walked away grumbling, causing me to roll my eyes.
"Men." I said to Jessica and we both laughed.
"I'm so sorry about Alex."
"It's fine, I'm sorry about Austin."
"Alex had no right to say those things about Peter. I know he's a nice boy, Alex knows that too. He's just a little paranoid."
"I understand, I'll go get Brooke." She nodded and I turned around, going up the stairs. I knocked on the door beforer walking in.
"Brooke, your mom's downstairs. Your parents want you to go home tonight."
"What?"
"I'm sorry, if they let you, you're welcome back tomorrow. If I were you, I'd go. Your dad is pretty angry." Brooke sighed and sat up. Her and Peter hugged and kissed goodbye before Brooke followed me out.
"Come on Brooke, let's make sure your father didn't destroy our house in a fit of rage." Jesscia said, holding out her arm to her daughter. They both thanked me before heading back home.
"I fucking hate Alex." Austin mumbled.
"No you don't. He's one of your best friends. He's just being an overprotective, paranoid father. You'd be the same way with Belle and Ariel. Hell, you've done that before with Ariel." Austin just sighed.
"I guess." I smiled and sat down next to him on the couch, cuddling into him
