Forgetting Archer ✔

Chapter 13

🌟

When I opened my eyes I winced, groaned, and closed it back quickly because of the bright light above me.

Oh my god am I in heaven! No, I died didn't I? Oh no. What about my family? What about Archer?

"Debbie?" I was shaken slightly and opened my eyes when the light was no longer there. I turned to the side to see 3 persons, my mom with her beautiful red hair, my father and....my father? Two of my father? 

"Mom," I asked. "Dad? Did you guys die and come to heaven too?" I asked seriously but they laughed.

"No honey we are very much alive and thankfully so are you," Dad -I think- said before mom broke down the next second.

"I was so scared we'd lose you baby. You were so close to going away i-" my mom cried and hugged onto my father who tried to calm her with falling tears of his own.

The cries of a baby filled the room and I looked at them confused as my dad walked off. He then came back with something wrapped in a towel cooing words to something.

"Debbie, do you know who this is?" Mom asked referring to the guy that looked like Dad.

"Dad from a few years ago?" I joked.

"No honey. This is Derek."

"Derek, as in my brother Derek?" I asked in shock looking at him.

"Yes. He was the one who saved you, honey. He heard you screaming in the cave that night and never left, and when Wayne brought Archer in the next morning, he went to call your grandpa who called the police," Dad explained. 

"B-but how?"

"When he fell from the cliff honey, he didn't die. He hit his head and lost his memory. He was found by a family that stole him because they couldn't have a child of their own. When he was old enough, they told him everything and gave him a picture of us and where they found him so he went back to the waterfall every day hoping to find us. Because of seeing you, he got back some memory of you looking familiar and he used to have dreams about us while growing up. Now he's here and we're finally complete," Mom sniffed and dad hugged her again with one hand. 

"Hey Debbie, there's someone else here to meet you. Diana, meet Debbie your older sister Debbie, this is your little sister, Diana," Dad said and I gasped.

"Oh my god," I said when dad placed her in my arms. I felt an ache in my body from moving but I ignored it. "Oh you're so beautiful," I cooed at her as I analyzed her. She had my dad's electric blue eyes and mom’s red hair. I can't believe I have a baby sister!

Wait!! MOM HAD HER BABY?!

"Mom, how long have I been in here?" I asked looking around.

"Almost a year honey," she stated.

"What, a year?" I asked shocked before I sobbed.

"It's okay honey, everything and everyone is fine," she hugged me tightly as I cried.

I felt a light touch on my cheek and when I looked down, the baby was lightly touching me and smiling. I burst into more tears smiling back at her.

Not everyone's okay. I heard nothing from Archer.

****

A few minutes later, a doctor entered the room and said she had to talk to me privately. I don't know why but God knows that am scared.

"Hello Debbie, how are you feeling?" She asked taking a seat beside me and checking the life machine.

"I have a few aches when I move," I whined.
