The Schuyler Scandal || Modern Meggy

Chapter 11 (Edited)

Laf POV

"I CALLED IT!" I screeched while bursting into Peggy's bedroom. Angelica and Eliza were sitting on the floor and had letters scattered everywhere.

"These were all in the trash," Eliza said to no one in particular.

"Really?" I replied, picking one up and reading it.

Deare̶s̶t̶, Maria
Are you print in a book? Because damn girl you fine.

I chuckled at the short note. "Where's Maria?" I asked through a laugh.

"She went to the hospital to try and find out when we can visit Peggy again," Angelica answered while reading one of the letters and leaning against her younger sister's bed.

"Doesn't this count as invading Peggy's privacy?" I questioned, my face sinking.

"It's just shipping research," Eliza replied, waving her hand as if it wasn't a big deal. "Besides, Maria reciprocates the feelings. We could easily get these two together."

"If only Peggy would wake up," Angelica added sadly. "I miss our reckless, fun-loving little sister."

"I miss her too. So much. I pray every night that she'll wake up soon," Eliza said, her face falling.

"If she wakes up," Angelica mumbled, tears threatening to fall.

"I've known Peggy long enough to know that she refuses to give up. She's a fighter. She'll wake up," I announce, dropping to my knees and hugging the moping sisters.

Maria POV (here we go hehe)

"Can I please go back and see her now?" I asked with an impatient tone. The hospital was finally allowing for people to visit Peggy. I was going to tell the others, but I wanted to see Peggy first.

"Of course miss. Do you remember what room number it is?" the nurse I was talking to said.

"Yes, but thank you," I mused before mall-walking to Peggy's room. When I finally got there, I wanted to run up to the unconscious Peggy and plaster kisses all over her face. Instead, I plopped into a chair beside the bed.

"Hey Peggs," I chimed. "I guess it's just us for now."

Peggy POV

"Rachel, I feel different today," I exclaim, looking to Rachel for advice. Rachel opened her mouth to reply, but a voice I knew all too well interrupted her.

"Hey Peggs. I guess it's just us for now."

I whipped my head around to see Maria sitting next to the actual me.

"How....?" I asked into the void. "Did you do this Rachel?"

"No," Rachel replied simply.

Maria POV

"I need to tell you something," I started, suddenly feeling flustered. "I'd wait until you woke up, but the doctors said that there's a chance you might never be conscious again. So, even though you probably can't hear me, I need to tell you a secret." I fumbled with my shirt before continuing. "I'm........I'm in love with you Peggy. You're my universe. If you don't survive this, I don't know what'd I'd do." A tear slips from my eye before I break down crying into Peggy's blanket.

Peggy POV

"........I'm in love with you Peggy. You're my universe. If you don't survive this, I don't know what'd I'd do."

I choked on the breath I didn't know I had been holding in. "She..........she loves me?" I whisper as Maria started to cry. "She loves me!" I shout this time, happy tears running down my face. Rachel suddenly puts a hand on my shoulder.

"It's time. I'll see you on the other side," Rachel said with a wide grin.

"Wh-what do you mean?" I question. Before she can answer, my eyes open. My real eyes. The light of the hospital room blinds me. I hear a sharp gasp come from beside me.

"Peggy?" Maria asked with a shaky voice.

"Mar?" I said, my voice weak and cracking.

"You're awake. YOU'RE AWAKE! OH MY GOD! YOU'RE AWAKE! YOU'RE OKAY!" Maria cries while hugging me tightly.

"Yes! I'm okay! I'm here. I'm here now," I hum while stroking her hair.

"I thought I lost you. I thought I lost my best friend," Maria whimpered, still gripping me tightly. I take a deep breath before pushing her out of our hug and making her face me.

"You didn't, Mar. I'm right here. I'll always be right here. I'm never leaving you again," I whispered, caressing Maria's face in my hands. Before I could stop myself, I did something that I could never take back.

I kissed her.

Maria POV

She kissed me. Peggy Schuyler kissed me. And she's still kissing me. HOLY SHIT SHE'S KISSING ME. Why do I feel so........
