Secrets 2.0 (Peter and Betty/Petty fanfiction)

Chapter 11

My eyes fluttered open. I squeezed my eyes shut again. Everything was blurry. I blinked a couple times, adjusting to the light. 

I heard a beeping sound. 

I was in a room with some machines. There was a large window directly in front of me. 

Towards my left, I saw my dad. He looked worried and tired. His head was in his hands. 

"What did I do?" He mumbled. 

I opened my mouth. It felt weird to talk. 

"Dad?" I said softly. He looked up. 

"Oh my god, you're awake." He stood up and walked over to me. "Lizze, i was so worried."

I sat up. 

"Where am I?" 

"You're at home. This is one of our emergency rooms in the basement."

I nodded. 

"I need to call your mother." Dad said.  He bent down and kissed my forehead before leaving the room. 

Through the window, I recognized our home. Dad looked so stressed. I had never seen him this worried. 

I sighed. I barely remember what happened. 

Where was Peter? Didn't he go off with my dad? I didn't notice anything different. 

I had to get back home to Riverdale. 

"Omg!" I heard a high pitched screech.

The door burst open. 

"Thank god you're okay!" Mom squeezed me tight. 

It had been a while since I had seen her. Pepper was always busy, so I

don't see her as often as I see dad. 

"Mom! I missed you!" 

"Your father told me that you had just woken up, but he had to take some calls. He should be back in a few minutes. "

I smiled. It had been so long since the whole family got together. 

Mom and I caught up. We talked about Jugheads, Jason, Peter, Spiderman, and the battle. I felt like she was holding something back about Spiderman. 

I checked the time. It had been 20 minutes. Mom was about to leave the room, to get us food. 

"Hey mom?" 

"Yeah?" She turned around. 

"Where's dad?" 

I could tell she didn't know the answer. She had her thinking face on. 

"I don't.....know. I'm not sure, he said he was going to run an errand." 

I nodded. She opened the door and left. 

I turned on my phone. I had a couple of text messages. It was veronica on the second day I was gone. 

[Where are you? The teachers said you were sick, but I went to ur house to bring you soup]

[You weren't there.]

The next texts were a couple of days ago. I had been gone for a week. 

[Are you okay?]

[Hello? Are you going to reply?]

I also had one from Peter. 

[Is everything okay? I came to your house for the study session, but ur parents said u were sick. ]
