What We Truly Are – Chapter 6
When Stiles woke up he was very the hell was he in the hospital? At least he thought it was a hospital according to the white pictoreless walls and the wires on his body, which were plugged in a beeping machine.
He didn`t need to search in his mind for an explanation for long. The door opened and Lydia was the first of his friends to enter the room, followed by Scott, Allison and his Dad.
Sheriff Stilinski rushed to his Stiles bedside and hugged his son. Stiles could feel that his father was about tob urst into tears. He hugged him back for some time and when he pulled away Stiles just looked at all his visitors, standing in a semicircle around his bed. No one said a word but he could see happiness and most of all relief on their faces.
„So…, do you want to continue to stand around and stare at me or mind explaining to me why I'm in a hospital with wires attached to my arms and chest? What the hell happened?"
Scott sat down on the edge of the bed. „ We were doing homework at my place, do you remember that?" Stiles nodded. He could remember doing homework and then wanting to go home. After that there was nothing.
Scott continued: „You wanted to go home but then you suddenly fell down and became unconscious. Mom and I called an ambulance and now you are here."
Stiles dad was still not able to stop smiling because the recovery of his on but it was obvious that he was worried after all.
Now Lydia spoke: „ You have been in a coma fort he last few days. We all were so worried about you."
Stiles mouth fell open. How could he have been in a coma, just woke up and feel absolutely fine? One does not just recover so fast from whatever put him in a coma.
But before he could say anything the door flew open again and one of the doctors of the hospital came in. The man in his fifties, wearing a white lab coat, introduced himself as Dr. Maison.
„Mr. Stilinski, could you please tell me what's the last thing you remember." Stiles told him everything while Dr. Maison scribbled very fast notes in his files. He nodded slightly. „And how are you feeling now?". „Good" answered Stiles „very good actually. It's strange…".
The doctor raised an eyebrow: „Strange?"
Stiles thought about how to express best what was in his mind before answering: „Nothing specific. It's just that I don't feel like being sick." That wasn't even a lie. The problem was just that he didn't he didn't feel like being healthy either. This strange feeling came from something in between of good and bad It felt like everything was okay and how it should be. Not good and not bad – easily okay.
He smiled to himself. Whatever had happened, there was no way it could worse than the other stuff he and his friends had been through. Actually Stiles was pretty convinced that his life just turned to good.
Lydia and Allison exchanged a few worried looks. They both knew thy had to tell Stiles what Deaton had done and what he had told them or even better, meke Deaton explain it himself to Stiles. With a silent agreement both oft hem left the room and started to search for Deaton. They weren't even sure whether he was still in the building but then thy found him in the waiting room, chatting with some patients. After thy had told him about Stiles awakening the three oft hem made their way to his room.
„Dad?" Stiles asked „are you okay?" The Sheriff really looked tired. „Sure. I'm just so happy to have you back." Stiles smiled, sat up and hugged his dad again. He knew how terrible it was for him to watch hiss on being in hospital. These white rooms had no good memories for both oft hem, starting with Claudia Stilinskis death. Stiles promised to himself to get out of this hospital as fast as possible, maybe even today. There was no reason to stay here anymore.
Not long after he let go of his dad, Lydia and Allison came back followed by Dr. Deaton. The vet gave Stiles an encouraging nod.
The Sheriff possibly suspected that there eas something going on so he made up and excuse and left Stiles, Scott, Lydia, Allison and Deaton alone.
So, at least I was faster this time and I swear in the next chapter there will be more progress in the story line.
