Chapter 37
The song is Where I Come From by the band Passion Pit! So many things are gonna be happening and I can't wait to write them!!
(Evans POV)
The guys told me I needed to stop visiting Hope. She would've woken up by now if she was going to. I've only been able to sleep for a couple of hours each night and tonight was no exception. I laid in bed for a couple of hours now. Maybe today I should see her again, I was at least able to sleep when I visited her. This, however, was torture.
I was laying in bed strumming a couple of cords on my guitar, wondering what to play to make time go faster. My thoughts came and distracted me from playing so I was just sitting up in bed with my guitar laying on me. My phone started ringing which made me come back to reality. I mindlessly grab it and answer it.
"Go for Evan." I wasn't tired but my voice sounded like I just woke up.
"She's up." The guy on the other side said. It's too early for this honestly.
"You're going to have to elaborate, who's up, who even is this?" I say getting up from my bed and walking over to put my guitar back in its place.
"Hope, she woke up from her coma just an hour ago, this is Evan Fong right?" The guy says. I drop the guitar and hear it make a hard thud as it collides with the ground.
"It's Evan Fong yes... she's... she's up?" I ask, my voice already becoming shaky.
"Yes Hope is up, Dr. Williams wanted me to call you because she was worried about you not coming in for the past week. She wants you to come in as soon as you can. Hope is awake, talking, and responding well to the test we've given her so far." The guy says.
I end the call and run to my closet, throwing on a baggy black shirt and a black hoodie. I slide on my silver hightops and was already running out the door to get down to the garage. I was speeding so fast, I turned a 30-minute drive from my apartment to the hospital into a 15-minute drive.
I park right in front of the hospital and throw up my hoodie. It was already raining and was planning on raining and thundering all day today. I run into the hospital where it was completely empty in the waiting area, of course it was, visiting hours didn't start until 10 in the morning.
I run past the set of double doors, ignoring the yelling receptionist and navigate my way through the familiar hospital till I got to Hopes door. The nightstand lamp was on and I could hear the tv playing. I grab the handle and feel my heart speed up. What am I waiting for?! She's awake finally! I open up the door and there she was, sitting up in the hospital bed watching the news. She turns her head and looks at me, her eyes going wide.
(Hopes POV)
I was watching a news segment about the last heist that Evan and the gang did, which was robbing the Pacific Standard bank in Downtown Vinewood. They ended up stealing over a million dollars from the bank. I heard the door open up and I turn to look at who was coming in. My eyes go wide as Evan was pulling down his wet hood from his hoodie. A huge smile comes onto my face as he stood there, still processing that I was awake.
"Hi Evan," I said beginning to laugh. He ran over to me and pulled me into a tight hug, my bruised up body was not very happy but I didn't care as I hugged him back. He stops hugging me and looks at my face, a smile growing on his face.
"I never thought I was going to see those beautiful blue eyes again. You're... you're awake, you're talking to me, you're looking at me! Look at you!" He says excitedly. He holds my cheek in his hand and pulls me into a kiss. He goes away from my lips and lays his forehead on mine as he begins to chuckle.
"You aren't allowed to die before me, I'll bring you back to life and yell at you for dying." I hear someone else walk into the room. We both turn to the door and see Dr. Williams looking at us smiling.
"I'm just here to take another blood sample, don't let me ruin this reunion." She says as she walks to the other side of me and starts cleaning the crook of my elbow. She quickly fills up the test tube with blood and puts another cotton pad and bandaid where the needle was at and begins to walk out.
"You can stay as long as you like Evan, I'll have Jake call everyone else at 9 so they can come for visiting hours at 10." She nods her head at us and walks out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Evan pushes me over a little as he takes off his shoes and lays down next to me. I laugh as he brings me into his chests and holds onto me. I want to go back to sleep because of how nice this feels and how much I miss it.
"I want to fall asleep now because of how much I miss this. You're like a huge teddy bear," I say as I giggle a little. He brings me away from his chest and glares at me.
"You're not allowed to go back to sleep, sleeping beauty. You've slept for 4 months and that's long enough." He kisses me on the forehead, "but if I'm here, we can take the biggest nap of our lives." He says as he looks up the tv, hearing the word Vanoss.
"Looks like you guys scored big. Over a million dollars?" I ask turning to him. He shrugs his shoulders like it's not a big deal.
"I only did the finale, everyone else took part in the setups, but yeah, we scored 1.25 million dollars, our biggest haul yet." He lays his head on the pillow and looks back at me. I lay down and also put my head on the pillow, looking back at him.
"What... exactly happened after I... fell?" I ask him. He takes a deep breath and sighs.
"I myself didn't see you fell, I was knocked out. Brian witnessed everything, you getting pulled and you falling. I got woken up by Craig, Brian was sobbing, Brock was throwing up from the sight, and everyone else was looking down. Brian... was going off saying how this plan was supposed to be foolproof and how I killed the girl that he, Craig, and I love. Lui watched from the building and was able to fly you to the hospital quickly. Your heart stopped 3 times when you first got here and no one thought you were going to make it. You were so banged up that they said you were a lost cause, but I demanded that they helped you. Now, here we are today." I nod my head but was still confused.
"What exactly like broke and all of that? I know I got shot and Warren gutted me like a fish, but what about when I fell?" I ask him. He pulls me closer to him as he sets his head on top of mine.
"You have a huge scar where you were cut at and had to get stitches. They took out the bullet where you shot yourself at from the glass. When you fell, the car and Warren's body saved you basically. You broke a few vertebrae in your back, which is healed now, your skull had a huge crack in it, again fully healed, and I believe that's all that they told me." Sounds about right, that's what Dr. Williams was going on about with all the surgeries I went through. I take in the faint smell of his cologne on his hoodie, a smell I missed.
"How is everyone doing?" If we aren't going to sleep I might as well get these questions up and out of the way.
"Brian, Brock, Craig, and I after the accident did not take it well at all. We didn't talk to anyone for a whole month but slowly came back around to everyone again. Holly visited with Ohm for a couple days a week or so after the accident, and Autumn comes by every other week. The rest of the guys come in randomly to check on me and you, but I haven't been in for a week now because the guys wanted me to try and visit less often, they thought you weren't going to wake up. I haven't slept well at all because of it. You know, you're never leaving my sight again." He teases as he lightly pokes my side.
"I wouldn't mind that. I am dating you and the point of dating someone is to be around the person a lot." I say. I close my eyes, all of this talking was making me tired. He yawned as he held onto me.
"How about moving in with me? We get your apartment sold, and you live at the apartment penthouse with me." He suggests. I nod my head in his chest. He readjusts how he's laying and lays on his back now, I lay my head and my left hand on his chest.
"I love you Evan," I say as I feel his heart speed up.
"I love you more Hope. I love you so fucking much." We both fell asleep shortly after.
There was a loud knock on the door waking Evan and I up. He groggily sits up and before he could get out of the bed the door flung open and 8 pairs of eyes were staring back at us.
"SHE'S ACTUALLY UP!" Brock yells as he pushed through everyone. He was holding a vase of white Hibiscus flowers in them. I stare at them as he sets them down on the nightstand. I sit up and give Brock a hug, still staring at the flowers. I hear the guys come into the room.
"I didn't know what ones to get so I just got these," Brock says as he looks at the vase then back to me. I let go of him and look at my hands forward and back, no ring on either of them.
"You alright over there? You seem a little spooked." David says as he sits down in one of the chairs across from the bed.
"Yeah, I'm fine I'm fine. I just... want to make sure this is reality and not just some dream." I say as I look at all of the guys.
"What was it like to be in a coma and dying? Did you have an out of body experience? I read somewhere that it happens sometimes." Delirious asks as Brian elbows him.
"Hey asshat, you don't ask someone that when they just get out of a coma, just saying." Brian glares at him before turning to me. Evan gets out of the bed and sits in the corner chair next to the bed so I can have more room.
"No, it's alright really. The dreams lasted like 30 minutes max for me. That's why I'm like wait it's May 27?" I say laughing. The guys either lean against the wall or sit in the chairs scattered around the room, intrigued with what I had to say.
"The uh dream, um I remember bits and parts of it, not enough to like create a story I guess." I lied as I looked at everyone, I'll be sure to tell Evan later. "The out of body experience was weird. The nurse told me that when I experienced the out of body experience, it was April 27. Then I blinked and it was 3 in the morning today." Suddenly Craig, Brian, and Evan look at each other.
"Could you hear or see anything, this shit sounds pretty fucking cool," Tyler says letting out a laugh.
"Hope... I can assure you, you were not awake on that day, believe me." Brian says leaning away from the wall and uncrossing his arms.
"I saw you, Evan, and Craig talking. Evan said something along the lines of of if you don't believe him ask me? I was talking and had my eyes open and everything, you even looked at me when Evan pointed at me and didn't even react to me being awake." I say getting annoyed now. I guess I honestly wasn't awake during them. I turn to Evan who was lost in space, clearly not wanting to be apart of this conversation.
"Evan what did you want them to ask me? It's slipping my mind and that's the only thing I can remember." That was true, I remember Evan pointing at me, them turning and looking at me, Evan saying that, and Brian and Craig leaving. His eyes went wide as he shook his head no, still staring out in space.
"Evan went on saying how you two started dating when we left Liberty City and Brian and I didn't believe him. He was saying if we didn't believe him then to ask you so we're I'm guess asking you now?"Craig asks confused as he turns to Brian. I shrug my shoulders and nod my head yes.
"Yeah we're together, we were gonna tell you after we killed Warren. So I guess this is after we killed Warren?" I laugh and look over at a now red faced Evan as he was looking at me. Tyler bounces up out of his seat and points at Evan and I.
"SO I WAS BASICALLY RIGHT BACK AT HOLLY'S YOU BEAT ME UP! HE IS YOUR BOYTOY!" Tyler yells. I laugh and again shrug my shoulders.
"If that's what you wanna call boyfriend then sure Tyler," I said laughing again. Evan reaches over and grabs onto my hand.
"You know, I fully support this relationship as long as you don't start bossing us around more than you already do," Marcel says to Evan. Evan smiles and rolls his eyes. Brian starts chuckling which caught me off guard.
"I guess I have to teach Evan everything he needs to know about your crazy ass. For example, expect anything and everything, like falling out of a window from 5 stories up." Brian says still laughing. I reach behind me and throw one of the pillows at a still laughing Brian.
"And that, lots of stuff being thrown at you. You have a lot to learn buddy." Brian says to Evan. Evan flips Brian off.
"I have had a girlfriend before you know," Evan says. All at once the guys either groan or roll their eyes.
"Yeah? And we didn't fucking like her now did we? We like Hope and know she won't try to fucking kill us." Lui says, I noticed he wasn't wearing his mask today. I've only seen him a couple times without it on.
"No fucking kidding. She didn't even like Hope when we were dating and she didn't even meet her. What ever happened to Sydnee anyway?" Brian asks Evan. I turn to Evan confused.
"The bitch hasn't even met me and she didn't like me? Tell me more about Sydnee, I'm intrigued now." I cross my arms now. As Evan laughs nervously.
"Oh thank you guys, you shouldn't have. She was your guy's problem too," Evan says as he looks at the guys.
"Nope, she wasn't dating us, the crazy bitch was dating you. You know about Hope and Brian, and Autumn and I, Hope should know about Evan and Sydnee." Delirious says. Evan sits back in his chair and groans.
"And just like that, my birthday has gone to shit," Evan says as he lets go of my hand and brings his hand to cover his face. I didn't even know it was his birthday today, he never even brought up when his birthday was. So he's 27 now, I woke up on Evan's birthday.
