Chapter 3: Secrets

"No..."

You whimpered as you stumbled to the ground with Peter. Peter gracefully settled on your lap.

"Peter! Please!"

His eyes fluttered open slowly as he glanced at you. Peter attempted to reach his fingers to your face.

"y/n...."

He let out with his last breath.

"Peter!"

You screamed as his body grew limp.

"Don't leave me, I love you.."

Tears come flooding out of your eyes blurring your vision. You could barely make out a figure walking toward you. You started to scream with all your might and strength as all the bright light turned red. Suddenly you bolted upright and you were in a hospital room. You steadied your breathing and wiped tears off your cheeks. Was that all just a dream? Did I just say "I love you" to Peter? Peter. Where's Peter? You scanned the room but he was no where in sight. Where was he? He should be here. You had to find him. You slowly got out of the bed then winced in pain at your side. Forgot about that. You got up on your feet but stumbled down to the ground. Shit. How long have you been out? You laid there for a moment before you heard the door creak open. Your neck burned with pain as you tried to look at who it was. The footsteps came around to where you were laying as a chuckle escaped their lips.

"Comfortable?"

A sigh of relief came from your mouth.

"I kind of fell over."

"I can see that"

You reached up to grip the edge of the bed to pull yourself slowly back up. Peter chuckled as he walked closer to you.

"You sure you're ready to stand up?"

"I think I should be okay I was just a little sore that's all."

"Good."

Then he started grinning at you like an idiot. You give him a baffled look and a genuine smile.

"What are you smiling about?"

He walked closer to you while sliding his hands in his pockets. Then threw his head back pondering your question.

"Well I just... missed you like... a lot..."

You didn't take a second to think before you threw your arms around his neck pulling him into an embrace. He gently wrapped his arms around your waist pulling you in closer to him. You kept thinking about what happened in your dream. It was just a dream. Peter is fine. You just needed to let what happened go. This is real. This is real right? His silver hair brushed your face. You took a deep breath as you took in the moment. Then you smelled your favorite food. You broke the hug to make sure what you were smelling was real.

"Why do I smell y/f/f?"

You glanced at a tiny table next to the hospital bed. Sitting on the table was y/f/f. You went over to pick it up and noticed it was all gross.

"Why is there rotten y/f/f in here?

You turned to observe his expression. He had both of his hands on his forehead.

"I thought maybe that would help you wake up faster..."

You looked down at the food and smiled.

"You're an idiot."

"Here I'll go throw it out in the hallway."

He grabbed the food and walked outside. You crawled back into the hospital bed to close your eyes for a second as you pondered on how long you had been out for. You started to remember the car crash. The shard of glass in Brody's neck. It came out and healed when you touched him. Then you felt a rush of pain in you neck. Had you healed him? No that's crazy you must have been in shock or something. You were so deep in thought you didn't hear the sound of somebody come in.
