Perfect Mess

32. Figure Things Out

"Mommy!" I exclaimed as my mom walked into the room for the first time since I've woken up. Apparently I've been in a coma for a week and on the morning my mom decides to go home and shower I happen to wake up.

"I love you, I love you, I love you," she said instantly sitting down on the bed next to me that Sebastian occupied a few moments ago.

"I love you too," I said hugging her as she cried tears of happiness. As I wiped away her tears a man cleared his throat from the doorway. My attention was pulled there and when I looked I found the man who I hadn't seen in person since I was ten.

"What is he doing here?" I asked looking between my mom and Noah.

"Hear him out. Come on Sebastian and Noah, let's give them privacy," my mom said and I reached to stop my brother from leaving me but he just shook his head and followed the other two out. Once the door was closed my dad came closer and sat in the chair that was by my bed.

"You really has me worried there," he said reaching out to run his hand over my hair like he did when I was younger, but I pulled away from him.

"Why are you even here?" I asked moving my leg forgetting that there was a cast on it that matched the one on my arm.

"Noah called me after he couldn't get ahold of your mom. I hoped on the first plane out here and I haven't left your side expect for this morning to get everyone breakfast,"

"But why did you come? You never came the other times that I personally asked you to be here for me. So why is it that Noah has to call for you to come?"

"I know I've been the worst dad for the past twelve years, but you're my first born. You're the first person who taught me what true love is. You're my first and only baby girl, you have my whole heart Wendy Darling," he said using the nickname that he always called me.

"I've needed you dad,"

"I know...I know you have and I'm sorry I haven't been there. After having your brothers I realiz-"

"I have more brothers than Noah?" I asked in shock since this is the first that I'm bearding about them.

"You have five more little brothers and a baby sister on the way," he said and my anger turned to sadness, which then turned to jealously.

"What do they have that I don't? Why did you stick around for them but not me, Us?" I asked him as I felt the emotional pain become stronger than my physical pain.

"Nothing Winnie. I just had some growing up to do baby girl. I'm so sorry, please give me a chance," he said and I just broke down crying and as the sobs took over my body the more the pains left over from my accident hurt.

"I bet you didn't know I was at both your high school and your college graduation," my dad said an hour as he sat at the end of my hospital bed.

"Really?" I asked in shock and I must looked pretty shocked because he just laughed.

"Yup! I wouldn't miss your graduation for anything. I even brought Josh and Dawson with me,"

"How old are they?" I questioned after a moment of silence.

"Josh is ten, Dawson is eight, Chris is six, Brad is four, and Ty is two. Your sister is actually due a couple of days after your birthday," he said smiling at me and it honestly warmed my heart.

"Can I see a picture of them?"

"Of course. Maybe when you're feeling better and are out of here you can come back to Florida to visit us or I can bring them to visit you if you want," he said handing me his phone and that had a picture of the five boys pulled up.

"I'd like that. I want to be in their life and I want you in my life. You and I obviously have things we need to work out but I'm sure with time we'll be okay," I said handing him his phone back.

"Of course. I'm not going anywhere this time. Not know if you were going to make it or not put things into perspective for me," he said with a sad smile.

"Does No know about them?"

"Yeah. The first night you were in here it was just the two of us, since your mom's plane hadn't landed yet, and we talked out everything and agreed to work on our relationship as well," as I went to respond the door opened and Noah's head poked in.

"Is it safe for me to come in?" He asked and I nodded my head smiling at the sight of my little brother and best friend. The rest of that evening was the three of us talking about the past thirteen years of our lives. A little while later a nurse came and checked the bandages that are placed over my ribs and once she left my mom and Sebastian joined the three of us in my room. I looked over at Sebastian and he gave me a shy smile and I looked down with my own smile playing on my lips. We haven't really been able to talk much about us, but he hasn't left my side all day. He was actually the only person in the room when I woke up. He was in the chair next to me asleep, but he was holding my hand.

"I'm going to sleep in the hotel tonight, but as soon as visiting hours start tomorrow I'll be right back here," my dad said standing up and kissing my forehead before doing the same to Noah. My mom gave him an awkward hug and then he was gone.

"I actually told Dottie that I'd stop by her apartment and fill her in on how you're doing. I'll see in the morning sista," Noah said first bumping me.

"Go get the girl Brudda," I replied and he laughed as he left the room shaking his hair out. I looked at my mom and I could tell she was tired but that she also wanted to stay.

"Mom, go home. Sleep in your own bed. I'll be fine I promise," I said giving her hand a reassuring squeeze with the hand not in a cast at the moment.

"Are you sure?" She asked me with unsureness laced in her voice.

"Positive mom. I love you," I said to her and she gave me a careful and a kiss on the cheek and she left leaving Sebastian and I alone.

"Before you say it. I'm not going anywhere," he said coming and sitting in the chair next to me bed.

"I wasn't going to ask you to. Here join me," I said scooting over in the bed to make room for him, "We have a lot to talk about and figure out as well,"

"I know."

"Why would you let me think we'd possibly have a thing only to have you go back to your ex as soon as we're not in the same country?"

"We did have a thing I promise. It's just that my management thought it might be a good look for me to be seen with her and she took it too far. The public thinks we're back together, but I can one hundred percent assure you that we aren't actually a couple," He rushed out and I sighed.

"So what does that mean for us?"

"What do you want it to mean?"

"You know I want to be with you, but right now I guess it can't happen. I mean we wouldn't be able to go on dates because then you'll be accused of cheating on her and I can't do that to your reputation," I said with a sigh and he gave me a slight frown.

"You know what? Fuck everyone. I'm going to date who I want to. As soon as you're out of here I want you to come back to Greece with me,"

"In case you missed it I have a cast on one of my legs and one of my arms. I'm not in prime traveling condition," I pointed out to him and he laughed.

"I know it's not, but I'll help you," he said and I shook my head.

"As much as I'd love to go to Greece I'm going o take a pass this time. When you get back we can go on a proper date? Hopefully by then I'll be out of one or both of my casts,"

"It's a date then. We can go see a broadway show if you'd like,"

"I'd love,"

"Great! So until our date FaceTime, phone calls, and texts everyday as much as possible. You're not slipping away again," he said kissing the top of my head as I carefully cuddled into his side being careful because of all of my injuries.
