The Way I Love You- A Staldez Fanfic (COMPLETED)

I'm Not Okay

Peter POV:

I'm back. Back in the cold cellar, chained to the wall. How did I get here? What happened? I thought I fell asleep with Anna back in my office.

I feel an excruciating pain in my stomach. I look down and see a huge red mark. The mark only left by a taser.

Anna POV:

I wake up to Peter screaming. I look around I notice him in a cold sweat, clutching his stomach, and screaming as if he was being tortured.

Terrified of what might be happening, I quickly call Maggie.

"Anna? It's 4 am, what's wrong?"

"Peter... he.... he's sweating, and clutching his stomach. He's also screaming like he was being tortured!"

"Wait... Peter's back? Bring him to Med right away! I'll meet you there. Actually I'll call an ambulance instead. Just stay where you are and don't move him!" Maggie quickly says.

She hangs up and I immediately text mark explaining what's going on.

Soon enough I hear sirens outside, and I see Gabby and Brett come running in.

"What happened Anna?" They quickly ask as they take his blood pressure.

"I... I don't know. He came home, and then we fell asleep together. And I woke up to this!"

"Okay, so listen to me it's going to be okay, alright?" Brett asks as they get him onto the stretcher.

I slowly nod while I try and hold back tears. What's going on with Peter? Is he going to be okay?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've been waiting by Peter's side for about 20 minutes. I hear the door open and I look up only to see Dr. Charles.

"Hey Anna, how's Peter?" He asks as he sits down next to me.

"Okay, he's sleeping much better now. Although every once in a while he'll scream out as if he was in pain. I'm worried."

"Hey, we both know Peter, he's strong. Although, I do think he may have PTSD over this whole ordeal. Do you mind waking him up for me?"

"Of course." I say in between tears. "Hey, Peter, it's time to wake up..."

He stirs and then opens his eyes.

"Anna? What happened?"

"You... you were screaming in your sleep. I was so scared..."

"I'm okay, alright? It was just a little nightmare, no big deal."

"Anna," Dr. Charles says, "Do you mind giving Peter and me some time alone? I promise I'll call you in as soon as we're done."

"O....okay..." I say as I give Peter a quick kiss.

I silently slid the door shut and head to the cafeteria to grab so coffee.

Peter POV:

"Dr. Charles? Why did Anna need to leave?" I ask puzzled.

"Because, I want you to tell me exactly what happened in this 'little nightmare'."

I take a deep breath, glance at the door to make sure Anna is nowhere to be seen, and I start.

I start explaining exactly what happened to me in those four months. All the torture I had to handle. All the discomfort. All the beatings. All the hate.

When I'm finally done Dr. Charles says, "Peter, first off all I'm sorry you went through all that, second of all I wanted to tell you that you have PTSD. First off, no this doesn't make you weak. Many people suffer from PTSD, it's more common then you think. Second of all, it's completely manageable underneath the right meds. I'm going to prescribe you something to take every morning and every night. Alright?"

I slowly nod as he writes something down on a prescription pad. What does this mean for Anna and me? Are we doomed?

"You May kiss the bride." I hear the minister say.

I lean in towards Anna and our lips meet. I hear the crowd erupt in cheers. It's real, I'm finally married to the love of my life.

As we walk back down the aisle, hand in hand, I feel like I could face anything. We've been through so much in this short amount of time. And we've survived it all, together. I'm ready for whatever life may throw at us, as long as I have Anna by my side.

If only she knew the extent of the way I love her.

AN: Thank you all so much for reading this story! I really can't thank you all so much for all the support you've given me. I started on Wattpad just hoping one person would click on my book. Now, I have people asking me to update, and voting on my awful books. I can't even articulate how much this means to me. You guys are such a big part of my life and I can't imagine life without you. Thank you!!!!!!
