Fighting for Love

"Is he okay?"

Everyone was waiting the news on Wesley. Peter, Yvonne, and Dennis were waiting in the waiting room while Peters parents got food. Yvonne and Dennis were talking to each other while Peter paced the floor back and forth waiting for news on Wesley. Peters parents had went to get food but couldn't help but discuss last night at the same time.

" Poor Wesley, I feel sorry for him. he's been through so much in just a short time."

" I know to be honest I don't know how he stays so positive through it."

" Sweetie I think it's Peter."

" What do you mean?"

" Wesley used what he had left to save Peter."

"yeah?"

" isn't it obvious.....Wesley loves Peter."

"Oh thank god."

" what's that supposed to mean?"

" I thought it was one sided.....Peter loves Wesley too."

"how do you know that?"

" have you seen the way he looks at him, his eyes light up."

" I have to say I am very impressed and surprised that you are taking this so well."

" What do you mean? I gave that speech at dinner. did you not here hear it?"

" I did but I knew you just said that so he wouldn't get mad. "

" well that is true, but seeing Wesley and Peter get closer and closer made me realize something. Love.....no matter who falls in love it's always the same. doesn't matter if your gay or bi or whatever, if you can't be yourself then what's the point. Why hide who you are if what you are isn't that bad."

"wow you've changed."

" nah just see the world differently."

The two came around the corner and handed the kids the food. Peter outright refused to eat till they found out about Wesley.

" You have to eat Peter."

"dad I can't, Wesley is in there in pain while I am just fine. It should have been me."

"Wesley is sleeping bud and you don't need you to feel like that. He's okay."

" Thanks but I just don't want to eat right now okay?"

" well I may not agree with that choice but i've felt the same way before."

Peter smiled as his dad walked away. they sat down but Peter bounced his leg up and down at an extreme rate. His heart was racing but he couldn't stop it. Last night flashed into his head and he relived every minute of that nightmare. his heart pounded and he began to sweat. he looked in distress so Dennis shook him back to reality.

" dude......dude are you okay?"

Peter looked around to make sure that he hadn't left the hospital and that he hadn't imagined it. footsteps were heard from the hallway next to them. someone cleared their throat and entered the waiting room,Peter jumping up. the doctor laughed at the sight Peter hopping up looking like a child.

"is he okay?"

The doctor stood there for what seemed like forever without saying anything. He looked down at his charts and read them sighing at some results that he read. with the sighs Peter became even more depressed. His body ached but his heart ached even more for Wesley. the doctor put the papers down and cleared his throat.

" He's fine.......he's got a couple of broken ribs and had some internal bleeding but it stopped on it's own. he's got some massive swelling in his legs and around his eyes, he can open them and even talk to you it's just his face is a little puffy and some bruising but he should make a full recovery in about six months."

"thank you doctor."

Peters heart lifted and his eyes lit up for the first time in a long time. He ran and hugged everyone and hopped up and down not caring about the pain.

" now which one is Peter?"

everyones faces went blank. the doctor waited as Peter stepped forward to recieve whatever news he was going to get.

" Wesley has asked for you directly, if you follow me I can take you to his room."

Peter nodded his head. He looked at everyone before disappearing down the hallway with the doctor. He really wanted to see Wesley but he was also nervous, it seems that everytime he gets excited for something Wesley gets hurt so he's afraid something even worse could happen. He almost didn't survive this time. the doctor smiled and checked some charts on the go, with Peter still following him to the room. They went down a few doors before stopping at one.

"He's in there, take your time."

"thank you."

Peter opened the door and walked into the room to see Wesley watching the TV. His eyes filled with tears, he had hoped that he would never see him like that. Wesley looked down from the TV when he heard the door click. Peter swiftly ran over to hug his boyfriend who hugged back just as tight. both stayed in that position for awhile,enjoying each others company. when they seperated Peter had tears streaming down his face. Wesley looked and raised his hand to wipe them away.

" Peter, don't cry i'm fine see..."

" Wesley last night I thought one of us was going to die, I was so scared that I couldn't protect you. I honestly thought the worst......that you may hate me."

"Peter I could never hate you, and definetly not for something like that. strength means nothing to me, someone could be able to throw someone off the world but if they didn't protect me then there is a problem. you knew he was stronger but you still tried, that's all I ever ask is that you try. Peter you heard me last night .....and I meant it, I love you. I love you because you're understanding, caring, nice, funny in sad moments, you can make me smile, and you're my life. you are the best part of me and nothing will ever change that."

Wesley sat up and pressed his lips to Peters softly. he held it for a second before releasing when the door opened.

" Ok Wesley, so I checked with them and you are free to go."

" ok, thank you."

"yes thank you for everything."
