Chapter Twenty
I was shoving Lauren Aquilina down your throats so here's Sufjan Stevens for a change...
Also, I'm pretty sure there should be a trigger warning so.. Trigger warning, character being abused in this chapter.
Sally's POV:
(Ooh, new POV!)
Sally walked into her house. She took off her shoes and went to the living room. "Where the fuck have you been Sarah!" Her mother yelled at her. Sally hated it when she was called 'Sarah' she never liked the name. She went by the name 'Sally' when she attended Kindergarten and stuck with it. "I was with Peggy visiting two friends at the hospital mom..." Sally said shyly to her mother. " (Sirens??? Why are there sirens outside??) "Uhg, Peggy. I hate that girl. And who are these two friends you speak about?" Her mother asked, "My two friends are John and Alex." She told her. "Finally! A boy you hang out with! Wait, is Alex a boy too?" Sally's mother asked (Oh god. 'you' turned into 'toy' it then read 'A boy toy' oh god.). "Yes Alex is a boy. His full name is Alexander." Sally told her. Sally's mother did not like the fact that Sally hung out with more girls than boys before sixth grade. She also did not like Sally's liking towards girls. "Wait. What were you doing at a hospital without my permission? Actually answer that later, you're late for your violin practice! Go now!" Her mother practically screeched at her. "Yes mom!" Sally said quickly before going to her practice room and get her violin. Her mother is a bit forcing towards Sally. Ever since her husband and son died from cancer she has been verbally abusing Sally. Luckily not physically.. Sally's mother can act sweet as a pie around other people but she really isn't. Sally was doing fine practicing until her mother came in. When she came in Sally suddenly felt really pressured and messed up. "What the hell was that? That definitely wasn't the song! Redo it Sarah!" Her mother yelled at her. Sally nodded quickly and redid it only to mess up again. "Sarah I swear to god there is something wrong with you! You always mess up playing the violin, you like girls way to much, you speak to quietly for me to hear, and you come home late almost once a month! What the fuck is wrong with you!" She screamed. Sally backed up slightly into the corner of the room. "You're just a stupid little girl who can't do anything! You're fat and ugly! I never asked for a daughter who was like this! I should've got rid of you when I could! You're just a stupid little mistake!" And with that Sally's mother slapped her across the face really hard. "Now learn to play this fucking violin Sarah! I will be leaving soon!" Her mother said and stomped out of the room. Sally was now in the corner of the room crying with a red hand mark on her cheek. She stood there for a minuet until deciding to continue on with her song. She messed up multiple more times until she sat on the floor. She's right. I'm just a mistake that shouldn't have been brought into this world. I'm stupid, ugly and fat and I bet my friends don't even like me at all. This thought brought her to tears. She heard the front door open and close, signifying that her mother was gone. She stood up from her sitting position and went to her room. She laid on her bed until she fell asleep.
Third person view:
It had been a week ever since John Laurens and Alexander Washington (Feels weird to write 'Alexander Washington' damn adoptions...) went into a coma. They haven't woken up yet. Their families are getting more worried as the days past. George had gotten over his sickness and Lafayette talked with Anica when they were both at the hospital. Sally would come to school with scattered bruises across her body and would tell everyone she was being clumsy. No one would seem to buy it though. Especially Peggy. Thomas always looked like he had something to say to someone but couldn't.
Alex's POV:
John and I sat in the ground talking to each other. Every time John would tell a story the glass would make a projection of what happened but I could still be able to see John. As John was in the middle of telling me the story on how he fell into a giant water fountain a though hit me. What if we never get out of here? Would we be dead? Or would it take a long time for us to wake up? This thought scared me a lot. "Don't think of those things Alex. It'll turn out bad if you do..." Whispered a female voice from behind. I looked behind myself but nothing was there. I took the mystery lady's advice for a couple of minutes until I thought of them again. What if I die? Would I be stuck here forever without John? What if John gets out of here before me and I'm left alone for quite awhile? After a bunch of 'What if?'s John said something that wasn't apart of a story, "Alex.. You look different. You seem like you're fading.. Are you okay?" I looked up at him, "What do you mean I'm fading?" I asked him. I'm fading? What's going on? Am I dying? Or am I waking up? What if I'm dying! I thought even more, "Alex! You're fading even more! What's happening?" He asked me. I didn't answer. I couldn't speak. I could only think about dangerous 'What if's. "Alex! You're fading a lot! What's happening?" He yelled to me. He was up at the invisible glass now, looking really worried.
John's POV:
Alex had started to fade. He was fading a lot now. Was he waking up? "Save him." Said a women's voice. I looked around to see no one except for Alex and I. "Save him John! He's fading because he's dying!" Said the women's voice more sternly and worriedly. "How! I can't get through!" I yelled. "Break it!" The women told me. I started banging on the glass thing. It didn't work. I started hitting it harder. Still didn't work. I looked at Alex who was disappearing. He's going to die John! What am I doing? He's dying and I can't help. I can't break this damn glass thing! He's gonna die and it's going to be your fault because you couldn't save him! The last thought made me sad and angry. Angry because I couldn't save him, and sad because he would be dead! I hit the glass harder and harder. My hands didn't hurt. I started punching the glass. I raised my fist and clenched it tightly. I threw one more punch to the glass and it broke. I could see millions of pieces fly everywhere and disappear on the ground. I ran towards Alex and grabbed onto his shoulders. "Alex! You're dying! I don't know why but it needs to stop!" I yelled. He looked up at me, "What if we get stuck here forever?" He asked me worriedly. This must be why he's disappearing. "We won't! We'll wake up and this won't happen again!" I told him. He seemed to come back again. "What if we die?" He asked me. He disappeared a little again. This kept happening until he asked me this, "What if I died and no one cared. What if you guys aren't actually my friends. Do Martha and George actually hate me?" I froze for a second. "Alex! Everyone would care if you died! As a matter of fact you won't die now! And we are your friends! We care about you Alex! Mrs. Washington and Mr. Washington love you! Why would've they adopted you if they didn't like you? Alex you're talking nonsense. You're cared for and you should be happy! Stop thinking of all these 'What if's you're fading away every time you think of one!" After I said this everything disappeared instantly.
Lafayette's POV:
He was walking down the hall to Alex and John's hospital room. His dad would be coming soon since he was still talking to Laf's mother. He opened the door and was about to come in when he hears this, "Laffy!" It was Anica. He turned around to see her running at him with her mother close behind. "Laffy you're here! Where are you going?" She asked, "I'm going to see John and Alex." Laf replied. "Oh! I'm visiting mommy! She gets to come home soon!" Anica told him happily. "Really? That's great!" He said to her. "Yeah! And when we can we're going to go to an aq-aquar... Aquarium! That's it!" She told him. "Aquarium huh. John would love to be there. He really likes turtles." After he told her that he heard someone that he hadn't heard in awhile..
(Imaginary commercials...)
"Lafayette?" He asked. Lafayette turned around, "John? John!" He said happily. He ran into the room and immediately hugged John. "John mon ami! We were so worried! But you're back now!" Laf was ready to cry right then and there but he didn't. "Lafayette, who is this?" He asked pointing to Anica who was now in the room. "Huh? Oh! That's Anica! John meet Anica, Anica meet John." He said, "Hello! I'm Anica! I helped Laffy when he was sad!" She told him, "Well hello Anica! I'm John Laurens." He said with a smile. Anica's mother walked in the room and stood beside Anica. "Hello! I'm Ivy, Anica's mother. I'm glad to see you're awake!" She said to John. "How did you know that I was.. Oh wait. Laf must've told you." He said. Ivy laughed, "Well c'mon Anica. It's time we visit mom. Goodbye! I hope to see you out of the hospital pretty soon!" She called as they went out of the room. They said goodbye to them and the room fell silent for a minuet. "Wait? Anica's mother said that they had to go to visit Anica's mother. Does Anica have two mom's?" John asked Lafayette. Lafayette nodded and John smiled. "I want a kid one day! It'd be so fun!" John said happily. "Then who would be your husband? Out of all the boys in our friend group who would you choose to be your husband?" Laf asked for totally no reason at all... John thought for a moment, "Do I have to answer this truthfully?" He asked him, Laf nodded. "Okay. I would pick Alex to be my husband..." John said. Laf smiled brightly, "Is it because you have a crush on him?" He asked him in a teasing like voice. John nodded a little and added a quiet 'Yes'. "Well actually you didn't need to answer that. We all know. Except for Alex and your dumb father of course." Lafayette said to him, "You guys knew?" He asked surprised. "Yep! But I'll keep it a secret." Laf told him. John blushed slightly and George came in. "John! You're awake!" He said happily and went over to him. "Hey Mr. Washington! Wait.. How's mom doing?" He asked, "Your mom is doing good. And you can call me George is you would like." He told him. John nodded. Alex still hadn't woken up yet which was saddening, and John kept looking at Alex with slight worry on his face. George had also gotten John's father. Soon a nurse came in and said, "Visiting hours are going to be over in five minuets!" And left. And with that they said goodbye to everyone and went home.
When Lafayette got home he unplugged his phone from the charger and texted everyone.
French Baguette has made a group chat: Herc, Peggu, A lizard, Angel (ica), Sally, I like red, Sea berry.

French Baguette has added 'Turtle boi' to the group chat.
Herc: isn't John in a coma though?
Lafayette laughed as they all got confused for a moment. He knew that John had his phone and charger with him since his dad brought it earlier so he wasn't bored when he woke up and they weren't there. Lafayette had done the same with Alex and his mother.
Peggu: OH WAIT!!! JOHN?!?!!
Turtle boi: I live!!
