I can't believe it's already chapter ten! I was given a review and I totally agree with it. Feel free to leave your reviews, if it helps me entertain you with my writing then give me advice!

Virgo Girl 14

I don't know if it's intentional, but your chapters have come out in a large block of text... Makes it difficult for me to read and concentrate on... Maybe go back and space it out a bit more? Cause I really would like to read this and actually concentrate on it

I have no idea what to say now so I'm just going to let you read...

(Peggy's POV)

The door slammed shut. Eliza's footsteps rang through the hallways of the hospital. Alex looked towards the door, contemplating if he should follow his girlfriend. It stayed quiet for a little bit. I looked at the clock. It was 11:50. I texted Maria.

Me: What time did you say you would be back?

Maria: Ha! You miss me already?

Me: No, I mean yes, but I'm craving cookies :P

Maria: Haha! Around 7. I'll stay till they drag me out ;)

Me: K. Love you lots!

Maria: See you soon

John peeked over my shoulder to see what I was doing. I held my phone to my chest. "What do you think you are doing? Reading my texts?" I demanded. His green eyes widened. "Just wanted to see what you were doing. M'lady." He added with a smirk. He bowed and sat where Maria had been sitting a little while ago. At 12:42, Laf and Herc needed to go, but since only Angelica could drive, and she didn't want to leave yet, they had to walk home. Luckily it's not too far from our houses. Alex got a call from Eliza at 3:57, and left to go to the park to meet her. Angelica mysteriously disappeared at 4:34, claiming to go to the bathroom. It was just me and John. He sat next to my bed, we were playing on a Scrabble app. "Whoo! Twelve points for me!" He cheered. "And you only got eleven." He pointed out. I shook my head. "I have a triple word bonus. I have plus thirty three." I gesture to a square on the screen. He deflates. "I'm still five points ahead?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and created the word "at" on the board. John 'Haha!'ed and turned it into "dating". We stared at this for a long moment. "Oof" I said finally. "I'm still behind." I saw his eyes roll and his cheeks colored. "I forfeit. You win. I want to do something else now. Can we? Can we? Can we?" "Can you stop before I make you?" He cut in teasingly. I grinned. "Can we? Can we? Can we? Ca-" I was interrupted by him pressing a kiss on my lips. It lasted just a moment; he pulled away, both of us pink. "That shut me up well." I commented. He didn't respond, his face deepening to flame red. "Hey, it did." I defended myself. "Shut up, or I do it again." He snapped. "In that case, I won't ever stop talking." The words left me before I knew it. They lingered in the air.

I looked at my phone. 5:01. "How long are you staying?" I asked. "Till 6:30, my mom needs me to make dinner." "Then Maria comes at 7. So we have an hour and a half."To do what?" He said, then immediately regretted it. "That sounded weird." I said. He plugged my nose with his thumb and forefinger. "Shdop id. Id's uncompordable. And I campd breed." I added, hoping he would stop. He did. The only sound was the clock hands ticking. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Tick Tock. The boredom was unbearable. I twiddled my thumbs. I pulled at the hospital gown. Then I reached up and yanked at John's curly hair. "OW! What was that for?" He rubbed his head. I still had a grip on his hair, so I pulled his head down and pressed my lips against his. This time, it felt like hours, or maybe days, no-years until he pulled away. He glanced at the clock. It was 5:47. "How long until you're free to go from here?" He said. I shrugged. "Maybe tomorrow. Maybe a year, who knows?" "The doctors." He replied. "Did you just try to pull a Peggy joke? I admit, it was pretty good. But Peggy jokes have to seem unintentional. You know? No? Probably not. But yeah, they say I might leave tomorrow, but I have to come regularly, I could have another heart attack at anytime." I mimicked a javelin, gun, and bow and arrow. John was confused. "An attack." I said. He chuckled and kissed the tip of my nose. I screwed my face up like a rat. "Look at meh. I'm Eliza. Hmph!" I said in a mean girl accent. I giggled. He looked me in the eye. "Deep down, you do love your sister. You're just mad at her." I sigh. "I know. She just always wants attention, always want the spotlight. When everyone fusses over someone else, even if they got injured, she wants that attention. That's what she was doing, she tried to drive the center back to her." "She was crying, you know, when she was told you were in the hospital. She was bawling her eyes out for you." He said quietly. I know that. Of course she was sad, but that gave her attention. When she saw how everyone was worried about me being hurt, instead of about her being sad about me being hurt, she couldn't stand it. I looked at the clock. 6:28. John stood up. "I should start going." He gave me a quick kiss and pulled his school bag on his back. "See you tomorrow!" I called as he left. Thirty minutes to myself. How boring. My phone was 30%. I turned on YouTube and watched Vine Fails until Maria came bursting in, carrying a batch of cookies.

"I'm here!" She cried out. "Finally! I was starting to miss those cookies before they even arrived. I might have missed you too." I added at the mock offended look she gave me. "I have lots to tell you!" She squealed. I grinned. "Me too." "I bet mine is better than yours." "I doubt it." "Oh yeah? I found fifty bucks on the street." "I kissed John Laurens. Three times." She stared. "Oh. My. God. You're lying?" I didn't reply. "You're not lying. That's just. OH MY GOD I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOOOOOUUU!" The end of her sentence rose in pitch to the point where a nurse came in to tell her to shut up. She swiveled to face me. "Are you two dating? Or is it one of those kissy relationships where you just randomly kiss each other?" I shrugged. "I don't know." I changed the subject. "You found fifty bucks on the street? I don't believe it." She dug in her purse and found a wad of cash. I counted it. Fifty bucks in cold hard cash. I put it behind my back. "I don't see any money! Oh no!" I said slow and fake. She raised an eyebrow. "You know you can't put up a fight in that state. Give it." I passed it over. "How long are you in here again?" I told her what I told John. She nodded slowly. I pulled the cookies from her and she joined my eating and watching Netflix (on her phone, mine was dead). It was 10:30 when a nurse came to tell Maria to leave. There were still a few cookies and my phone was charging, so I was good to go for the night. She gave me a quick hug. "See you tomorrow. I'll bring something." "Thanks, you're the best." I said as she left. The nurse made sure I was ready for the night, and the equipment in the room as well, then bid me good night. I checked my phone and decided to text John.

Me: You awake?

John: Yeah why?

Me: Just wondering

John: Is everything good? Did Maria leave?

Me: Yes and yes

John: What time should I come?

Me: Whenever you want

John: K. Love you. G'night

Me: Night. ️

Okay, FINALLY I get to where they kiss. I'm honestly just daydreaming about these two right now. Leave a review and I hope you enjoyed it!
