Thanks for the many reviews people! XDDDD And all the faves and alerts as well, you all are awesome!
I don't own Phineas and Ferb...
After the car finished flipping over and over again, Ferb began to look around frantically for a way out. He found his legs pinned against the steering wheel and with no hope of coming unstuck anytime soon. He looked over to the passenger seat to see his brother sitting still in his seat… not moving. There was blood dripping down his face from a deep head wound he got during all the flipping around. Ferb reached over and gently shook his brother's shoulder,
"Phineas? Phineas wake up! We have to get out of here."
But Phineas didn't reply. Ferb frowned as he put his hand up to his brother's face and gasped when he felt how cold he already was.
"Phineas no don't… don't leave me… we're going to get out of here, everything will be alright."
That's when Ferb heard his brother's voice echoing in his ear, "It's too late for me Ferb… I'm already gone."
Ferb shook his head as he looked around, "No… no you can't be gone…"
"Shouldn't matter to you anyway, brother… you hate me after all."
"Phineas…"
"This is something that you'll have to live with the rest of your life… I hope you're happy now…"
Tears sprung into Ferb's eyes, "I'm not… I need you here…"
There was a short chuckle, "Guess you should've thought of that sooner… goodbye forever Ferb."
Ferb gasped and turned his head back to his brother's body and saw that it wasn't there anymore. He struggled even more as he called out,
"No Phineas! Don't leave me… no!"
Ferb sat straight up in bed. He was covered in sweat, his breathing was heavy, hot tears were staining his cheeks and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably. He looked around the bedroom and felt his heart beating faster as he looked at Phineas's empty bed. He covered his mouth in attempts to hold back a sob from escaping his mouth.
That's when he had to remind himself that the nightmare he just had wasn't real. Phineas didn't die in the accident, nor did he disappear. It was all a nightmare. Ferb couldn't help but marvel at the fact that it's already been a little over four weeks since the accident and he was still having these horrible nightmares about losing Phineas forever.
There was a quiet turn on the doorknob to the bedroom. Ferb looked towards the door and watched as his father looked in. He wore a sleepy, but concerned look as he opened the door all the way.
"Ferb I could hear you yelling from the other room." Lawrence spoke, "Are you alright? Did you have another nightmare?"
Ferb wiped his eyes as he nodded his head. His dad sighed and walked inside the bedroom. After he closed the door he took a seat on his son's bed and put his hand on Ferb's shoulder.
"Everything's alright now… you both are alive and safe now…"
Ferb lowered his head in shame.
"Ferb is something bothering you? Other then the accident?"
Ferb looked up at his dad's eyes and spoke, "I don't hate him…"
Lawrence raised an eyebrow, "Wh… what? What are you talking about?"
Ferb gulped and breathed out heavily, "Before the accident… when we were driving home, I was pretty upset about everything that had happened. Phineas was trying to reassure me that everything would be fine, while I was freaking out about you and mum being mad at us. I grew so frustrated and angry that I…"
Ferb bit his lip and felt more tears falling down his face. Lawrence used his thumb to wipe them away and spoke, "If you're not ready to talk about this, son then that's alright-"
"I lost my temper, dad! I looked him in the eye and basically told him that he wasn't sorry about everything and that I… I hated him. I looked him right in the eye and said that I hated him…"
Ferb broke down into sobs. He covered his face with one hand and started shaking again. Lawrence pulled his son into a strong embrace and began comforting him.
"Easy there Ferb… shh calm down, it's alright now…"
"No it's not," Ferb replied, "the last thing Phineas heard me say before blacking out was 'I hate you'. I didn't mean it at all…" he looked up at his dad and whimpered, "Dad… I didn't mean it at all…"
Lawrence nodded and pulled his son closer, "I know son… I know you didn't mean it. And I'm sure Phineas knows you didn't mean it as well."
"How can you know that?"
"Because son, you have spent the past four weeks by your brother's bedside, holding his hand for hours and telling him how much he means to you. I have never seen such dedication and love between two brothers before. And I should know, I have two brothers of my own. Sure we love each other and would do anything for each other, but what you two have is something far greater. And you two aren't even blood related, so that makes it even more special in my opinion." Lawrence pulled back so he could look at his son's teary face, "Ferb… Phineas loves you very much, I hardly doubt hearing you say something out of anger would change that."
Ferb sniffed and wiped his nose with his sleeve, "But… but what if he never wakes up dad? I'll never live with myself again knowing those are the last words I said to him while he was alive and conscious…"
"Don't think that way… just don't son. You know his brain has been healing overtime and he's doing much better… he's going to wake up, Ferb. "
Ferb sighed and leaned up against his dad's shoulder. Lawrence began to rub his son's back in attempt to sooth and comfort him. He soon felt Ferb falling slightly limp as he heard a small snore escape his mouth. Lawrence smiled slightly and adjusted himself so he was leaning up against the headboard. Ferb moaned slightly before falling back asleep in his dad's arms. Lawrence ran his hand through his son's thick hair before resting his head against bedhead and closing his own eyes.
The next morning, Lawrence, Linda, Candace and Ferb all went to the hospital together to visit Phineas as usual. After about an hour or so, Lawrence took Linda and Candace home before going to work, while Ferb remained at the hospital.
Today he took a book with him and began reading it out loud to his unconscious brother. He read for about forty-five minutes, before he finally slammed the book closed and let his head rest on the bed.
Ferb sighed and whispered, "Phineas I can't do this anymore… I've tried so hard to stay strong for you all this time but… I just can't take it anymore."
He took Phineas's hand and gave it a hard squeeze, "Please Phineas… for all of our sakes, wake up."
He looked at his brother's face for several minutes before placing his face down into the sheets. He tried to hold off the urge to cry once again. There has been to many tears that have been shed these past weeks, and Ferb is growing tired of crying all the time. He slowly stroked his bother's hand as he turned his head to the side. A tear slowly slid down his face as he closed his eyes. He mumbled to Phineas before falling asleep,
"Please open you eyes…"
He dozed off for about an hour. He was waking up from his sleep and felt someone running their hand through his hair.
He moaned sleepily and whispered, "Just five more minutes, dad…"
A soft chuckle caught his attention. That was definitely not his dad's laugh. Ferb's eyes snapped opened as he lifted his head off of the bed. His jaw nearly dropped when he saw Phineas looking at him weakly, a small smile was written on his face.
Ferb stumbled to find his words, "Phi… Pha… Pho... Phineas?"
Phineas chuckled lightly again and spoke, "Hey Ferb…"
XDDDD So who's happy to see Phineas awake again? I intend to write one more chapter before I end this story. I never intended this to be a loooong story, so it's about time it came to a close. :) Thanks for reading. Review?
