Reunited ~ Parley/Parkner

Chapter 15

(A/N OKAY. (this is about the previous chapter) so I always walk with Destiny to second period. so we meet up and start walking and then she's like "so... about the chapter..." and I KNEW it was going to be something bad because it always is when she does that so I was like "what about the chapter?" and she said "I did something." and I was like "Oh God what did you do?" and she let me read it and I almost screamed. just thought you'd like to hear the story. but here we are. also the picture is of Ty Simpkins, who plays Harley if ya didn't know. he's a mood.)

*PETER'S POV*

I feel my eyes flutter open slowly, my head pounding like the pulse of a heartbeat. I feel sharp pains dancing down my shoulders and torso.

"Peter..." I hear a familiar voice, but it's so distant. Everything is so blurry.

"Peter." I snap back into reality and my vision finally focuses. Dad and Pops are sitting next to my bed in the hospital, looking at me with worried faces.

"Oh my gosh," Pops hugs me gently, careful not to touch my bandages.

"How are you feeling?" Dad asks.

"Oh I'm doing great, Dad, thanks for asking." I groan trying to sit up.

Dad almost laughs. "You really are my son."

"What happened?" I ask. I really can't remember very much.

"You and Harley got into a car accident," Pops said silently.

Oh my God.

Harley.

I sit up quickly, my body stinging with pain but I don't care.

"Woah, woah, careful." Dad says, trying to get me to lay back down.

"No," I fought against him. "Where's Harley?"

Pops and Dad both looked at each other grimly, then turned their faces down and looked at the floor.

"Where's Harley?"

"He's not doing great, Pete..." Pops finally says.

My heart falls. This can't be happening.

"I have to see him," I decide and start to get up.

"No. Peter you have to stay here." Dad puts his hands on my shoulders. "You have to heal."

"Dad." My eyes are burning with tears. "I have to see him."

He looks at me sympathetically and sighs. "Wait a second." Pops glares at him with an expression that says "Just what do you think you're doing?" and Dad leaves the room. He comes back a few minutes later.

"The nurse said you can get up but you have to be very careful."

I nodded. I don't care what I have to do, I just have to see Harley. He's the only thing I care about right now.

I get up, slowly, and Pops and Dad have their arms around me like I'm about to fall over any second. "I'm fine," I mutter and they slowly take their hands away and put them by their sides.

I limp to Harley's room, which Dad told me was 3 rooms down from mine. I knock on the door and Caroline opens it. She has tears in her eyes too. "Come in Peter."

She opens the door and holds it for me as I walk in. Riley is sitting in a chair beside the hospital bed, where Harley is lying, connected to all types of life support machines. His face is bloody and so are his arms... and basically all of his body.

This is terrible.

I walk up to the side of his bed and start crying. I don't care who's watching.
