Yes I know this is a bit early for an update, but its probably the last time ina while. Computer issues people. I'm very sorry.
Dylan impatiently waited in his car for his sister Paige.
"I can't believe she is taking this long." He said to himself lying back in the seat. She was taking a while considering where they were going. He honked his horn, telling her to hurry. Sure enough she walked out the door a few seconds later, looking slightly distraught. She opened the passenger door and got in, slamming the door so fast it almost caught onto her hair.
"Ready?" Dylan questioned her. She gave a nod and they pulled out of the driveway. Paige noticed the recklessness of his driving and it shocked her. She had always known him to be very careful when driving. He had other things on his mind however. Driving safely was not one of them at the moment. He prayed Marco would be conscious again so he could actually talk to his love.
Soon enough they pulled into the hospital parking lot and were off to his room. They walked briskly to where Dylan remembered his room to be and then slowed down before they got to the door. He peeked inside to find Marco lying down. He was ecstatic to see his eyes were open. He stood in the doorway and knocked on the wall. "Mr. Del Rossi you have a visitor." He said in a deep voice.
Marco turned his head and a smile spread across his face. "Dylan!" He said excitedly. Even though it was kind of hard to speak at all.
Dylan ran over to Marco's bed and fell on his knees. He kissed Marco tenderly on the cheek as tears ran from his eyes. "You're awake!" He choked out, grabbing Marcos hand and entwining it with his own.
Next came Paige. She walked to the left of Dylan and kneeled by the bed. "Marco?" She said, still in shock. She stared at his head. She had never seen Marco without hair. It was actually kind of sad.
Marco noticed where her gaze had drifted and let out a small chuckle. "Like my new do Paige?" She couldn't help but smile. He always did that to her. "I was thinking we could do the same to you. Then we could be twins." At that Dylan fell back laughing. His sister? Shave her head? The thought was just too hysterical.
After he had regained his breath Dylan stood up and brought a chair to the side of Marco's bed. "You feeling all right?" He asked Marco, trying to be serious.
Marco looked at Dylan. "I'm feeling better. I have a bit of a headache though." Dylan put his hand on Marco's head.
"Want me to get a nurse?" Paige questioned. Marco gave a nod and she got up and walked out of the room. Finally they were alone.
Dylan bent over Marco and kissed him softly on the lips. Marco gladly returned it as much as he could. "Love you." He whispered in Dylan's ear. He kissed Dylan, more passionately this time. They continued kissing each other until they heard a scream from the door. Dylan quickly let go and turned around. To his horror he saw Mrs. Del Rossi clutching her husband. His eyes were filled with hate and disgust.
"Get off my son!" He screamed at Dylan. He stormed over and threw him onto his back causing the chair to topple over. "Who do you think you are? Kissing my son!" Dylan looked at Marco and his heart dropped. There were tears streaming from his eyes and he was holding his forehead.
Mrs. Del Rossi walked over to her husband in an attempt to calm him down put her hand on his shoulder. She started to talk to him in Italian. Dylan was pretty sure she was cussing him out. He knew that Marcos mom knew about their relationship and approved of it. But he also new Mr. Del Rossi was severely homophobic. Dylan gave him a look and mouthed the words I'm sorry.
Marco understood. It wasn't supposed to happen this way. His parents were still yelling at each other and Marco could hardly keep his eyes open. He drifted asleep.
Dylan however could not just fall asleep. He was stuck, sitting on the cold hospital floor watching the two Italians have it out with each other. He looked around and saw the door was still open, and then he remembered Paige. She was still out looking for a nurse. And as if on queue a nurse walked in. The Del Rossi's turned around when they heard the approaching footsteps.
Paige walked in behind her and was confused when she saw Dylan lying on the floor. Dylan saw this as a chance to get away and quickly got up and pulled Paige out of the room with him. They were walking down the hall when Paige stopped and pushed her brother to the side. "What exactly happened in there?" She questioned sternly.
"They...he...we were kissing. And his parents... they saw us." He struggled to get the right words out of his mouth. "Then his dad... he pushed and they started to fight. Marco probably hates me." He slid down the wall and put his head in his hands. "How could I let this happen?"
Paige sunk to her brother's level and lifted his head. "It's not your fault. You wanted to kiss your boyfriend. You didn't know his parents were gong to come in that exact moment." Dylan knew her words were true but he couldn't to accept them. They just wouldn't sink in.
"Should I go back in there?" He asked her, looking down the hall.
"Do you want to?"
"I... I don't know. I think I should." The two siblings got up and walked back in the direction of Marco's room. Before they could enter, the Del Rossi's walked out of the room and froze face to face with them. It was like an old west shootout. Whoever pulled their guns out first would dominate but not necessarily win.
Dylan opened his mouth to say something but was cut short by Mr. Del Rossi's words. "Stay away from my son. I don't know what the hell was happening in there and I don't want to know. But If I find out you have come back here I swear I will-"
"Don't!" Mrs. Del Rossi snapped at him. She had seen the anger being built up in Dylan's eyes and didn't either one to snap out on each other. She pulled her husband away from the two teens and began to yell at him in Italian some more as they walked away.
Dylan and Paige continued into Marco's room to find that he was still asleep. That didn't surprise them at all. The nurse was still in there and she instructed them to give him the headache medication when he woke up. The quickly obliged and she walked out of the room. They sat down and Dylan told his sister about everything that had happened while she was gone. Not once did his eyes leave Marco. He was still blaming himself for the fact that Marco had had to deal with that so early in his recovery.
They sat there for another hour until Marco began to stir. He opened his eyes slightly to see the two of them sitting across from each other playing cards. They must have brought them with them. He thought.
"Dylan." He whimpered out quietly. It was like a magic word that made him power up. He sprang from his seat and charged towards Marco's bedside. For the first time he noticed that the chair had been picked up. He sat down on it and wrapped his hand around Marco's.
"How you feelin'?" He asked compassionately.
"Good. Where are my parents?" He inquired, still sounding a bit weary.
Dylan looked at Paige who shrugged, causing him to answer this one on his own. "They left..." He didn't know what else to say.
"Oh." Marco said. You could hear the disappointment in his voice. This made Dylan feel even worse.
"I could go and ask the doctor to call them." He said trying to make up to Marco for his parents leave.
"No. I want you here." This brightened Dylan up and he had the urge to kiss him. But he stopped himself. That's what caused all this trouble in the first place. Marco felt what he was thinking. He carefully lifted up his arm and put it behind Dylan's head, slowly closing the gap between their lips and enveloping them in a passionate kiss.
They were interrupted by Paige's voice ringing through the room. "I don't mind the fact that you want to share a moment an' all but you do have some more company." They both looked at her disappointed but then couldn't help but laugh when they saw the look she was giving them.
"You wanna kiss too?" Marco joked.
"Ha ha. Very funny." She said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. She pulled her chair to the other side of Marco's bed and the three of them talked for a few more hours. It started to get late and much to their dismay they had to go home. "School tomorrow." Paige reminded them. Dylan kissed him one last time and they were off. Dylan drove much better this time and to Paige's relief, much safer. Soon enough they were home.
"I'm beat." Dylan said rubbing his eyes. "I'm just going to go to bed."
"Me too." Paige replied. And they went to their bedrooms and did exactly that.
