"Your brother, John, he's awake."
Relief filled my body. We all broke into grins, jumping around excitedly.
"When can we see him?" Laf asked.
"Right now, if you want-"
"Of course we do." Henry interrupted him.
"Okay well-" The Doctor said, before getting pushed out of the way by James, who barged through the door. We all followed behind him, as Henry smiled half-apologetic to the doctor.
I immediately felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, as I saw John laying in bed, wide awake and smiling. His face was already gaining color. He looked genuinely happy, but also had tear in his eyes, although I couldn't tell if they were happy tears or sad tears.
All of the Laurens circled John, so he could see all of them. Laf, Herc, and I all stayed out of the way, letting them have their family reunion.
"Jacky!" James said jumping on the foot of John's bed.
"Young man please don't do that-" The Doctor started to say, but was once again cut off.
"Mr. Doctor man, John didn't break his feet, right?" Martha asked, looking up innocently at the man.
"Well, no, but-"
"Okay then it doesn't hurt John, correct?" Mary said, staring at him threateningly.
The doctor gulped. "Yes miss."
The siblings all hugged John. Henry whispered something into his ear, that I couldn't understand.
Mary was the last to hug him. "I-I'm so sorry John."
"Mary its okay."
"B-but... it's my fault."
"No Mary, it's not. It was my decision." He said, although I could tell he meant something else by that.
Mary decided not to argue, and stepped back. Immediately, as if John remembered something, his face turned to a frown. "I saw mom."
James mouth dropped. "Really?!"
John ruffled his hair. "Yeah. She misses you."
Henry looked at the doctor suspiciously.
The doctor sighed. "Earlier, I was going to say that he had hallucinations because of his head trauma-"
"It wasn't a hallucination!" John insisted, glaring at the doctor, who immediately put his hands up in surrender and backed away.
His eyes finally landed on us, as his glare turned into a bright smile.
"Hey Lexi, Laf, Herc!"
Henry smiled. "They all we're waiting for you to wake up, especially John. He would have stayed 24/7 if the nurses had let him."
I turned bright red, as John light heartily laughed.
We all hugged him, although our hugged seemed to be slightly long than the others. I tried not to over think it.
"If you ever do that again I will murder you." Herc said, with a slight laugh, all though we could all tell he wasn't lying.
"Okay, okay-" John said, holding his hands up in surrender. "When can I get out of this hell hole?"
We all turned to the doctor. He just kind of stared at us.
"Doctor man, when is my brother leaving this 'hell hole'?"
We all gasped. "MARTHA!" John yelled from the other side of the room.
"THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T SWEAR AROUND KIDS, MON AMI-" Laf yelled back.
"HOW ABOUT ALL OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP?" Hercules yelled. Our eyes widened. "Oh shit."
"Shut the-" James started to say before Henry covered his mouth with his hand.
The doctor cleared his throat. "Erm, he can be discharged tomorrow."
"Why can't I leave today?" John asked.
"We have a few more tests to run."
John groaned.
"Visitor hours are over in five minutes." He said before simply leaving the room.
"I don't like him." Laf said, crossing his arms and pouting.
"The feelings probably mutual." Herc said, making Laf playfully hit him.
We all made small talk, almost like normal. Besides the fact that John was in the hospital. Henry looked at his watch. "Visitor hours are over in a minute. We'll see you in the morning." He said to John, giving him one last hug before leaving with his siblings.
"We better go too." Herc and Laf said, hugging John. They waved and left the room, so we were now alone.
"Oh right! I almost forgot!" I said, running over to my bag, which was now resting on a chair. I pulled out a folder that was filled with papers. "It's the work you missed. I did the notes for you, and if you don't understand something you can ask me and I'll help you." I said, rambling on and on.
"Thanks." He laughed and smiled at me, which made my heart start beating rapidly. He so cute.
I love him so much.
Wait, what?
