Don't Leave Me Now | Reyton

Was I Dreaming?

Peyton Pov:
"Rowan?"
She just stares at me with her big, beautiful brown eyes. My heart starts racing and and I jump out of my seat.
"Rowan?" I say again. But she just stares blankly into space. My hand is still interlocked in hers and I feel her squeeze it.
"Oh my gosh."
Her mouth starts moving.
"I love you Peyton." She croaks out and I can barely make out what she said
Her eyes slowly start to close again.
"NO ROWAN! PLEASE ROWAN DONT DIE ON ME! PLEASE! DOCTOR!"
The tears come streaming down my face. I can't help it. I need her.
"Please."
The doctor rushes in.
"HEY KID GET OUT OF HERE. SHES IN CRITICAL CONDITION!"
A nurse leads me out and I watch her until I can't see her through my window anymore.

2 hours later:
I'm sitting in the waiting room and I see the doctor come out of Rowan's room. I jolt to my feet and walk towards him.
"Is she going to be okay?"
He starts to talk but suddenly Sabrina, Bradley, and Corey rush in.
"We came as soon as you called. How is she?"
"She's not looking to good. We are transferring her to another hospital in Oregon. They're top notch with her condition."
Sabrina looks at him hard.
"What?" Her voice is rising. "How are we supposed to visit her in Oregon?"
"I don't know ma'am."
Her eyes start watering and she turns to me.
"You did this to her."
"What!?" I yell.
"YOURE THE ONE THAT CHEATED ON HER AND DROVE HER TO BE LIKE THIS!"
"SABRINA I MADE A MISTAKE!"
"YEAH MADE A MISTAKE THAT IS KILLING MY BEST FRIEND!"
"ITS NOT LIKE I MEANT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN!"
"Yeah, well maybe you should pick and choose your chances to be a playboy."
Then she ran off with Bradley and Corey behind her. Leaving me all alone.
"I'm sorry." I whisper.

Rowan Pov:
My eyes jolt open and I'm laying in my bed, in my bedroom.
"What the?"
I look outside and the birds were chirping and the sun was shining.
Was it just a dream?
"MOM!"
I hear someone run up the stairs and into my room.
"Rowan! You woke up!"
"Was I dreaming?"
She looked at me sideways.
"What?"
"Was I dreaming the car crash and stuff?"
She looked at me sympathetically.
"Sorry honey, but that happened."
My face drops.
"Oh."
"But you're fine now!"
I smile at her.
"Oh and happy 15th Birthday!"
I practically fall off my bed.
"WHAT?"
"Well It was a month ago but close right?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh right. You don't know!"
"I don't know what?"
"You were asleep for two years Rowan!"
Her words stung my face and I could hardly breathe.
"Two years?"
"Yes."
It was to hard to take in. Two years? So much has had to change.
"Wait what about Girl Meets World?"
"They stopped it completely. They didn't want to replace you, and everyone was still grieving."
I look down at my feet.
"I know it's a lot to take in Rowan."
"Yeah." I say weakly.
"Take your time. I'll send Carmen up. It's her first year of middle school!"
I felt as if I got shot. I missed my sisters first months of middle school.
My thought were interrupted when Carmen ran into my room.
"Rowan!" She screamed and ran into my arms.
I started crying tears of happiness.
"Carmen I've missed you!"
"Me too."
She let go and I looked at her.
"So you're twelve now?"
"Yep! And you're fifteen!"
"I've heard."
"Well," I start, "You have matured."
"Rowan!"
"I'm just saying! And boy has puberty done you well!"
She starts laughing.
Her hair has grown out and it is curled at the bottom. She has a little bit of makeup on. I must've missed her braces because her teeth are perfectly straight. She has a little bit bigger, you know. And she has to be at least 5'2.
"I'm jealous!"
"Don't be!"
And we laughed.
We sat talking for a couple more minutes until she had to go downstairs to do homework. I decide to stay upstairs to take it all in. I get up and walk to my mirror to see if I have any changes.
Walking feels so weird. So sore. Like after a hard workout sore, but I haven't done any physical activity in two years.
When I look in the mirror, I don't see much changes. My hair is longer, and my face looks a little bit older, but that's it. I think I got taller, but I can't tell. I observe myself in the mirror until the door flings open and someone runs in.
Sabrina.
We both stare at each other until we scream at the same time.
"AHHH!"
I run over and wrap my arms around her and she does the same thing. Tears start falling from my eyes. I let go to see she has been crying to.
"I've missed you so much."
"I've missed you too."
We walk over and sit on my bed.
"So catch me up." I say.
"Well, your sister is slaying at twelve."
"I've seen! And I'm jealous!"
"So is everyone from the ages twelve to eighteen."
I laugh at her.
"Are you and Bradley still going strong?"
"It's strong."
I raise my eyebrows.
"When's the wedding?"
Then she punches my shoulder.
"Hey! I just woke up from a two year coma!"
She laughs and I laugh with her.
"Speaking of boys, Peyton is not doing to hot."
"Whatta you mean?"
"I mean, he has barley gone out of his house in the two years you've been asleep."
"Did you tell him I was awake?"
"Er, we aren't really on speaking terms."
"Why?"
"I kinda lashed out on him when you were at the hospital and we haven't talked since. And now he's a complete mess."
"Ouch."
"I don't even think he's been on social media in two years."
I just looked down.
"But I have plan to get him all together again."
"I've missed you so much Sab."
She smiled at me and we walked arm in arm down to my kitchen.

Half way down the steps I realized something.
"Wait!" I say
I look down and see that I'm still wearing my purple romper from the neon party. Sabrina understands without me saying anything and she guides me back to my room.
"Okay I didn't even notice you still had that on."
"I have been wearing the same outfit for two years!"
"That is so disgusting."
We laugh and I get an outfit out of my closet. I go in to the bathroom and put on high waisted shorts and a long sleeved crop top topping it off with white converse. I fix my hair and walk out to see Sabrina has completely changed her style since I last saw her.
"Is this outfit still hip?"
"Uh, we will go shopping later."
I laugh at her and we both walk downstairs.

Authors Note:
Okay so I was going to end with this chapter but Rowan was going to die. I feel like it would've been better than what I'm doing know. BUT I have a plan that I think is going to be different then what you might suspect.

I would have had Rowan die though If I wasn't only at chapter 10.

Anyway rowbrina slays
AND THANK YOU FOR 2K READS I LOVE YOU ALL
