I don't own Phineas and Ferb
The next morning rolled around, which made the sunshine through the window of Phineas and Ferb's room. Ferb rolled over on his stomach and moaned. He opened up his eyes and peeked out from underneath the covers. The clock on the stand read nine o'clock. Ferb sat up on the bed and looked around them room. Phineas wasn't here… Perry wasn't here… no one was here.
Ferb pushed the covers back and rubbed where he had stitches on his head. His head still hurt, but he felt a little bit better now that he was home. After he swung his legs over the side of the bed he slowly stood to his feet and steadied himself. He grabbed a clean pair of clothes from his drawer and walked out of the room. He went into the bathroom to take a shower and get changed. Once he was done, he ran a comb through his hair and went back into his room to drop off his dirty clothes.
He walked in and smiled to see Perry lying on Phineas's empty bed. Ferb bent down to pick up the beloved pet and began to pet him. Perry sat in silence and soaked the attention in. Ferb nestled his fur softy and spoke,
"Don't worry boy, Phineas will be home soon. I bet you miss him, huh?"
Perry answered with his little, "Krrrkrrr" noise.
Ferb chuckled and sighed, "Yeah… I miss him too."
He placed Perry back down on the bed and gave him pat before walking out of the bedroom. Ferb made his way downstairs and into the kitchen. Both of his parents were up and drinking their coffee. Their eyes lit up when they saw Ferb walking in.
"Morning sweetie," Linda spoke, "how are you feeling this morning?"
Ferb nodded as he opened up the refrigerator and dug around for something to eat. He settled on some strawberry yogurt and a glass of milk.
"You want something warm to eat?" Lawrence asked,
Ferb shook his head as he popped open the lid on the yogurt. After he poured a glass of juice, he grabbed a spoon and sat down next to his dad at the counter. Ferb started eating the yogurt as Lawrence spoke up,
"Well since you're feeling better this morning, I bet that you want to go to the hospital to see Phineas again."
Ferb nodded and looked up at his mom, "Was there any change when you went to see him last night?"
Linda shook her head sadly, "Nothing yet I'm afraid."
Lawrence gripped his wife's hand, "He'll be alright, darling. When it comes to bouncing back from an injury, Phineas definitely takes the gold for that."
Ferb glanced up from his yogurt and gave his mom a reassuring nod. She smiled slightly at the both of them and nodded her head, "I guess you're right."
Ferb scooped up the last of his yogurt and gulped down the rest of his juice. After he set his glass and spoon in the dishwasher, his parents both rose from their seats.
"You ready to go then?" Lawrence asked,
Ferb nodded his head and followed his parents towards the front door. They walked out and headed towards the car that was parked up front. Ferb climbed into the backseat and gave his temple a rub. His dad climbed into the driver's side and noticed his son rubbing his head.
"Are you sure you're up for this son? Does your head still hurt?"
Ferb stopped rubbing and shook his head.
"Okay as long as you're sure."
Lawrence put the key into the ignition and started up the car. Lawrence and Linda exchanged quiet conversation among themselves, while Ferb sat quietly in the back. He glanced out the window and started chewing his bottom lip.
Once they reached the hospital, Lawrence found a parking place and the three of them walked together into the hospital. Once they got their passes, they all headed to Phineas's room. As they arrived at the room, the doctor was walking out. The doctor gave them all a pleasant nod,
"Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher." He then looked at Ferb, "How are you feeling this morning?"
Ferb gave him a thumb up.
"Excellent... well I assume you are all here to see Phineas, correct?"
Linda nodded, "How is he doing doctor?"
"So far nothing has changed, but for now we're taking it as a good sign. As long as he doesn't worsen, he should get better with each passing day."
Lawrence nodded, "Thank you doctor, I guess we'll go in and see him now."
"Of course, go right ahead."
The doctor walked away as the family walked into the somewhat darkened room. Ferb once again felt a pain in his chest when he saw Phineas lying on the bed. He was still a deathly pale color and a small frown was written on his face. Ferb kneeled down on his brother's right side and took his cold hand, while Linda and Lawrence knelt down on Phineas's other side.
Ferb looked sadly at his brother and gently rubbed his hand. He silently wished that Phineas would open up his eyes right now. Doing that would make everything all right again. But sadly, that didn't happen.
A small sob escaped Linda's mouth. Lawrence put his hands on her shoulders and kissed her head. She wiped her eyes and pushed some hair out of her face,
"I'm sorry it's just that… this doesn't look like Phineas as all. I could never ever picture him like this. It's just not right…"
Lawrence kissed her head again, "Nobody should ever have to see their child like this." He glanced over at Ferb and added, "Nor should they ever have to see their brother like this."
Ferb looked up and nodded sadly before looking back down at Phineas.
They all sat with Phineas for about an hour in silence. Lawrence glanced at his watch and sighed,
"I have to get to the antique shop."
Linda nodded as she stood, "I should get back home. When I told Candace about the accident, she said that she would be taking of from classes for a couple of days to check on her brothers." She looked over at Ferb, "Doesn't that sound nice, Ferb? You'll be able to see Candace again."
Ferb nodded but didn't move from his spot.
Lawrence sighed, "Son it's time to go…"
Ferb shook his head and looked up, "Can't I stay a while longer? At least another hour?"
Lawrence looked at his son and gave him a sad smile, "I guess if you would like to."
Ferb looked back down at Phineas and gave his hand a small squeeze.
"I'll bring Candace by when she gets here." Linda spoke up, "I'm sure she's going to want to come here as soon as possible."
Ferb gave another nod and watched as his parents walked out. Once they were gone, Ferb moved closer to the bed and placed his arm on the bed. He rested his head on his arm and continued to hold his brother's hand while staring up at his brother's sleeping face.
His last words to his brother kept on ringing in his brain…
I hate you!
Ferb closed his eyes tightly and spoke,
"Phineas… I don't know if… you can hear me. But if you can, you have to know that I'm truly sorry for what I said and did. I didn't try to talk sense into you about sneaking out and I… told you I hate you, when I honestly don't. I could never hate you… you're my brother. "
Ferb wiped his eyes and gave Phineas's hand a squeeze, "Although we're not brothers by blood, we might as well be. You understand me, you know me better then anyone and you care about me. I care about you too… I always have, since the day father married mum. I promised myself that I'd help look after you and so far…"
Ferb paused and started tasting the tears that were running down his face. He cleared his nose and continued, "So far I seemed to have failed you… Phineas please, please forgive me. Give me another chance to try and be an older brother. Please… please open your eyes and give me hope."
He gave his brothers hand a kiss and whispered, "I love you brother… I know I don't say that as much as I should, but I do. And I promise that if you wake up, I'll show you how much you mean to me. Somehow… someway I'll make this right."
He wiped his eyes once more before laying his head on the bed. Ferb felt his eyes growing heavier with each passing minute and before he knew it, he was asleep.
The next thing he knew, someone was giving his shoulder a small rub. His eyes snapped open and he looked back behind him. His older sister Candace was looking down at, giving him a small sad smile.
"Hey Ferb," she spoke, "are you alright?"
Ferb shook his head at her, and watched as she sunk down beside him and pulled him into a hug. He put his arms around her and placed his head on her shoulder.
Linda came walking in and let out a small 'aw' before coming over and hugging both of her children as well. When they broke apart, Candace looked down at her sleeping brother and sighed,
"This is wrong… this is so wrong…"
Linda nodded, "I know what you mean sweetie. But all things happen for a reason. We could all at least be thankful that he's still alive…"
After visiting Phineas for another hour, the doctor came in and spoke,
"I'm sorry, but visiting hours are over. I'm going to have to ask you three to leave."
Linda nodded as she stood up from her spot, "Of course… thank you doctor."
Candace stood too and brushed her lips against Phineas's forehead, "Sleep well Phineas, we'll come back first thing tomorrow morning."
Ferb stood as well and carefully placed Phineas's hand by his side. He then decided that he would come back everyday and sit by this bedside. He would sit and wait until Phineas woke up. No matter if it took take days, weeks, months or even years... Ferb Fletcher would sit and wait for Phineas to wake up.
Sorry if this chapter sucks. My heads all clogged up and it was hard to concentrate what I was writing... eh well, I'll do better next time. :) Thanks for reading. Review?
