I slowly open my eyes seeing Mollie and Stan talking.
I slowly take off the headset looking at Jess.
'She's still sleeping...'
"Kyle?"
I look at them seeing them concerned.
"What happened?"
"Well..."
I look over at her and see her waking up.
They both got up fast and ran to her.
"Oh my god Jess!!!!" They both scream out but Stan threw himself to her in a tight embrace.
"Stan?" She said in a weak scratchy voice quickly hugging him tight.
"Jess.... I can't believe your awake... What happened in there?"
"Kyle outsmarted him.... He's the one to thank." She said looking over at me.
I felt my face heat up slightly.
He looked back at me taken back by her words. He walked away as Mollie hugged Jess just as tight.
I felt uneasy knowing we hadn't been the same since I told him. I backed up slightly not knowing what would happen. He grabbed my arm forcefully causing my heart to ache in pain but he pulled me into a tight hug.
I tensed not expecting his actions.
"Thank you." He said in a scratchy tone like he was about to cry.
I look over at Mollie and see her looking at me with the biggest smile with tears falling off her face. She was still holding with Jess burying her face crying in Mollie's shoulder.
"Your welcome Stan." I said returning the tight embrace.
-1 week later-
I was at my house doing some homework when I hear a knock at my door.
I turn around and see Stan at my door.
"Hey can we talk?"
"Uhh yeah."
He walked in sitting on my bed.
"It's been pretty awkward between me and you. I thought we could.... Talk."
"Oh uhh okay.." I said feeling a little nervous.
I walked over sitting next to him.
He sighed.
"Kyle, when you saved her and you were logged in. Mollie talked to me and.... Well, I can't stop you if you....." he paused as if he didn't want to finish his sentence.
"Want to date my sister." He said the last part to himself.
My eyes widen in surprise.
"W-what r-really?"
".....Yeah.." He spoke so quietly as if he was being forced to say all this.
"Stan... I wasn't going to act on anything until you are okay....."
"Yeah I know but...apparently.... Mollie told me that Jess already likes you and.... She was so scared I would act out... and that's why she's been having nightmares..apparently she had been panic attacks which lead to night terrors then....the coma hit."
I tensed up with my mouth falling open.
"Wait really?!"
"Yeah Mollie told me and.... I won't stop you."
"Stan I'm sorry..I didn't want this..I know she's your little sister but I....."
"I know but just know... If you do anything..."
"I wouldn't Stan you know that!" I said a little quick and loud cutting him off.
He sighed really loud.
"I know but...it's just hard seeing her grow up, you know? I still think of her as my BABY sister...That'll never change..I just hate seeing her maturing and now..."
"I understand Stan."
He looked up at me with sad eyes.
"So....are we okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, don't worry you'll always be my super best friend. Just... do me a favor and take care of her...Okay?"
I smiled feeling my cheeks burn slightly feeling flattered he accepted this.
"I will, don't worry."
