I posted this in my oneshot book but i deleted that so im posting it seperatly now
Hey...its been a while so here's a serious one
Their about to go off to college when Booker goes blank and never comes to.
Their 18(you probably figured that)and it's a romance one.
As always I am not affiliated nor know anyone affiliated with Raven's Home.
And now without further ado I present(that was dramatic),
I Never Told You
Tess' pov
We're all looking at Booker lying in Sleevemore hospital , Ms.B,Nia, and Ms.C are crying their eyes out, Levi's trying too stay strong but I can tell he's gonna break soon, and I can't help but think that he might die and I never got to tell him how I really felt.
3 hours earlier
Nia and I walk in their house to find Booker on the couch, his eyes closed as he was perfectly still. 'I guess he's asleep', I thought.
"I swear he sleeps all day," Nia said with a sigh.
"He's kinda cute."
"Eww, he might be your crush but he's still my brother Tess."
"Whatever." I skipped over to Booker and gently shook him. "Hey Book we gotta go soon." He didn't respond, "Book," I shook him a little harder this time. "Book, get up this isn't funny...Nia!"
"What's up?" She replied as she walked in with her suitcase.
"Booker's not waking up!"
"What do you mean Booker's not waking up, Booker?!"
No response.
"Maybe he's playing?" She said it more like a question.
"I don't think he is Nia, we should call yours and Levi's moms."
"Your right," she said frantically.
"Mom, Booker's not waking up"...
3 hours later(the present)
. . BEEP...BEEP...BEEP.
The nurses and Doctor Sleevemore ran in and told us we needed to step out. At this point everyone was crying as we watched them through the window to his room.
"NO, my baby, no," Ms.B choked at the end and broke down sobbing, while Ms.C tried to comfort her even though she was crying too. Nia's just the same, and Levi's on the floor hugging his knees with tear stains on his face, and I don't know what else to do but cry.
"Doctor his pulse has slowed down by a lot." One nurse said.
"And so has his breathing, Doctor."
I covered my ears, I couldn't take it anymore. I curled up on a chair and kept my ears covered. I closed my eyes. But I could still hear Ms.B's screams for her son. The sobs. The constant 'this cannot be happenings' from Nia. Levi's heavy breathing. Ms.C's soft words of comfort. The nagging thoughts in my head that say he won't make it. The nurses and Doctor saying everything we didn't want to hear.
"There's nothing more we can do," Doctor Sleevemore addressed the nurses before walking out of the room.
Silence...
"Raven, Booker is in a phycoic coma, he must of had a traumatizing vision of someone he loves to put him in this state, see in these types of visions they try to fight what's happening, and it causes their body to go into trauma. Now if someone was there to bring him out of the vision this could've been prevented, but since there wasn't, his body eventually gave up and slipped in to the coma." He ended off with that.
"So your telling me, my son was sitting there suffering?"
"I'm afraid so, and in these cases," his voice cracked, "They usually don't make it through the night. You all can stay here for the night...I'm so sorry."
"It's ok, you did your best." Then he left us alone.
We all settled on the furniture on the other side of the room. A bed and two chairs. Levi laying on his mom while she stroked his hair. Nia and her mom sitting on the bed hugging each other,and I was hugging myself in the corner.
"Tess," I looked up, "come here," Ms.B said softly. She pulled me in as I leaned on her. The nurse opened the curtain that seperated us from Booker. Then we waited. Time ticked by and he stayed perfectly still. Another nurse came in and asked us if we wanted anything to eat. No one was very hungry.
10:00 p.m.
Nothing.
11:00 p.m.
Nothing.
12:00 a.m.
Nothing. But we all started to get drowsy.
3:00 a.m.
I woke up with a start, I could swear I had heard something. I look over to Booker, he still wasn't moving and everyone else was asleep. I slowly walked over to the hospital bed, he was still in the same clothes we had found him in. Tears run down my face as I think that this is it, there's no way he'll get out of this, there won't be a miracle. I closed the curtain behind me I needed to say something to him privately.
"Hey Book, I don't know if you can hear me but," I sniffled, "I just wanted to thank you...for everything. For just being you and not changing for anyone, for enduring my endless teasing, for helping me Even when I told you not too, that day Jordan told me he didn't like me back." I don't know why but I laughed a little at that.
"For not giving up everytime I told you it was time too, for always knowing what I needed or needed to be told," I held his hand in mine, "and for always being there for me... so before you go I just wanted to tell you that...I love you," I completely broke down, "as in way more than a friend." I said through my tears as I covered my face with my hands and cried.
"I love you too."
It couldn't be. I looked up in shock. "Booker?" He smiled at me.
"Hey, Tess," he said softly. I grabbed onto him and buried my head in his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around me.
"I thought you were going to..." I couldn't even finish 'cause I started crying all over again. I know he doesn't like seeing me cry, but I couldn't help it.
"I know, but its ok, I'm fine, now just breathe," he said as he rubbed my back.
"I heard all that you said."
"Good, because I meant it." I replied as I sniffled.
"Good, 'cause I meant what I said too." Then he kissed me right there on that dreadful hospital bed, but it was the best kiss I ever had. He put his hands on my the sides of my face as we pulled apart. He wiped the tears from under my eyes and looked at me fondly.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." I said.
"Same." He replied quietly. Then I remembered what the Doctor said.
"How did you get out of the coma?"
"You of all people know I never give up." I giggled softly.
"We have to get the family up." he whispered.
"Of course, but can we keep us a secret for a little while?" I whispered back.
"Whatever you want, babe." he kissed my forehead.
"I'll go wake them." I jumped up from the bed. I pulled the curtain away and woke them with the words everyone wanted to hear: "Guys get up, Booker's awake!"
The next hour was filled with hugs, tears of joy, several nurses coming in to take test on him, and just pure happiness.
And gosh I love him so much!
The End
Yes, I did it.
There was a lot of crying, but I hope you enjoyed
Love
