Chapter Forty-Six Regression to the Mean
Danny was lying in the small hospital bed with me after Melissa left for work again. His arms wrapped around me as I curled up into his chest. He smelt like cheap cologne and... oranges? maybe. He must use a citrus shampoo, and it must be new because he usually smells more woodsy.
I had his shirt fisted in my hand as I tried to memorize his smell, his heartbeat, anything that would help me hold onto him. I could feel his hands rub up and down my back, soothing me. "Why do you have to go?" My voice cracked slightly, and I cursed it. I wanted the question to be casual and inquisitive, not hurt and full of sadness.
Danny's arms tightened around me slightly and I felt him press a kiss to my hair. "Parents suck. I wish I could stay." He stated simply and I could hear the regret in his voice, his own sadness mixing with my own. We'd been friends since the first grade and now... now he was leaving; moving to the other side of the country after New Years.
I lifted my head from his chest, my eyes memorizing the color of his hazel-green eyes and went to say something, but her shushed me. "No. We're not doing this... pity party thing." He bent over the side of the bed and pulled up his bag, taking out a couple magazines and laying them in front of us. "We are going to look at baby stuff and design the nursery and look at things you need. For my godchildren."
A smile tugged at my lips and I nodded, turning so that my back was pressed against the pillows and Danny's arm. "Okay, fine." I grabbed the first magazine, opening it up to a page that had a bunch of cute clothes and useless things that I probably didn't need but, I really wanted them because... why not?
It was like Danny and I were in our own bubble. Everything that I knew was happening outside this room, everything that happened with Allison, it was non existent while Danny and I looked at dumb magazines and made plans for the nursery.
At some point, I must've fell asleep on Danny's chest, the magazine's spread out with marked pages and pen marks throughout them, circling the things I wanted or Danny and I thought were cute. It was nice, to sleep, it was like everything was put on pause and I was able to fully relax.
When I woke up I wasn't with Danny, though, I was alone in the bed. But, the room was full, I could tell that much before I even opened my eyes. Hushed voices were all around me, just letting me know that they were there.
I slowly blinked open my eyes, yawning as I went to wipe away the sleep and fog. Everyone was in my room; Scott, Stiles, Lydia, Kira, Danny's bag was still by the bed so I knew he was somewhere.
Stiles was quick to run to me the moment he saw my eyes open, "Victoria." He breathed out in relief, pulling me up from my lying position and into his arms. My head rushed from the sudden movement but, I couldn't help the small smile that formed on my lips as I hugged my brother back.
