Chapter 19

Taylor POV

My breathing labored and tears flooded my eyes.

This isn't real.

He isn't here.

I'm hallucinating and this is all a sick joke. My brother is not actually here.

I don't know what happened after because when I opened my eyes again, I was in a white room with a beeping sound in the background. Great. I am in the hospital. Again.

"W-What happened this time?" My voice croaked and I looked over to my left to see no one. I look to my right and no one is there either. Where did they go? I press the nurse button on the side of my bed and I wait for someone to come and assist me.

They should consider making this room the slightest bit interesting. Maybe paint a galaxy or like a pirate ship on the ceiling, something to look at. I'll talk to the triplets about it when they finally show their missing butts up.

After a few minutes, Lisa showed up and checked my stats. "Where's your three hunks that you call mates."

"I don't know actually. They are so in trouble with me when they do turn up." I sigh. "How did I turn up in here once again?"

"Well honey, you panicked. You panicked a lot. Do you remember why?"

I think about the last thing I remember and it was all blurry. The last thing I can fully remember is getting ready and the triplets complimenting me. I want more compliments but now is not the time.

I shake my head and Lisa sighs. "I'll have the triplets explain it to you because I feel you won't panic as much as you would if I told you."

I nodded and I grew worried. Did something terrible happen? Are the triplets hurt? Is anyone else hurt?

"Taylor I can see the worry on your face. The triplets and everyone are fine. Don't stress yourself."

I sigh but nod and continue to stare at the ceiling. "You know, you should paint something on the ceiling. It's so boring to look at." I say mindlessly and Lisa laughs.

"You should inform the alphas about that. I'll be back in a little bit to see you again and then you can leave."

She leaves and I'm left to myself once again.

Oh! Why don't I just mind link the three? Sometimes I'm an idiot.

"Chase, Corey, Chance!"

"Sunflower before you yell at us, just know that we are sprinting back to the clinic." Corey's voice raced through my head.

"Why are your sprinting?"

"We felt that you woke up and we weren't there when you did." Chase answered.

"We'll be there in less than a minute, darling. Them you can have your cuddles and kisses."

"I want extra cuddles and kisses too!" I pout in my head.

"Well that can be arranged." Chase said as they walked through the door, panting and sweating.

"Ew! You guys are all gross! I don't want any cuddles from you anymore!" I squealed and hid under the thin sheet.

"You wound us baby." Corey said sitting on the bed.

"Go shower!"

They all grumbled and Chance headed towards the bathroom until I noticed something. "Chance!" I basically yelled.

He turned at my worried voice and stared at me in confusion and worry. "Your bleeding!" I point at the expanding blood stain on his shirt.

"It's nothing baby." He winked and disappeared into the bathroom.

"What happened?"

"We'll explain in a minute."

"Are you guys hurt too?"

"Don't worry about it, sunflower."

"So you are."

"Don't stress yourself."

"Take off your shirts."

"We love it when you are demanding." They smirked and slowly pulled their shirts over their heads.

Those bloody liars.

"You guys are covered with scratches!" I growled and the two smiled.

"You are so cute when you are possessive, love."

I pouted and Chance emerged form the bathroom in extra clothes found in the bathroom.

I held out my arms and when he walked into them, I lifted up his shirt to reveal a large bandage wrapped around his waist. Stains of red across his perfect abs.

"Don't stress yourself darling. We are focused on you right now."

I frown and Chance pulls me back down onto the bed and holds me to his chest. He placed tons of kisses on my head, face, and neck.

Soon Corey joined us and did the same as well as Chase.

We became a mess of love and I was happy. Happy and content.

"Where were you guys before I woke up?" I mumble into Chance's neck and the three sigh.

"Alpha Lukas caused trouble in the gaming room. Someone made his mate cry after they accidentally pushed him into the coffee table while they were play fighting. Scratched his side. Alpha Lukas went ballistic on the four and now they are sitting in their own rooms in the clinic." Corey explained.

"It was terrible. It took all three of us plus the help of  Rose, Dominic, and Anastasia to pry him off of them. His mate tried to calm him through his tears but nothing was working." Chance continued, his neck vibrating against my skin as he spoke.

"We finally, with the help of everyone, pinned Alpha Lukas down and we had to knock him out. His mate wasn't to happy but he understood why we did. They are in their room now. Nothing to worry about, love." Chase concluded.

"So that how you guys are hurt?"

"Baby, he has really angry. If someone hurt you we would give them more than a little cut."

"That's... sweet?" I say as a question. I don't want to know what they will do to people who mess with me. It's probably bloody. Ew. Blood.

They all chuckled and Corey shifted underneath me. I was lying on my stomach on top of Corey and Chase and Chance were on both sides of us. It was a really tight fit in this hospital bed but we didn't mind.

"Uhm... how did I end up in here in the first place?" I quietly mumble.

"You had a panic attack. You had it after you saw your brother again."

No.

This is a sick joke.

My brother isn't here.

"N-No! This is all a sick joke! My brother is not here!" I cried into Corey's neck and they all sit up, pulling my with them.

"Why would we mess with your head like this?" Chance questioned me, wiping my tears.

"B-Because it's funny to give me f-false hope!"

"No it isn't, love. We would never do that to you. We would never screw with your emotions." Chase said quietly.

"Sunflower, we are just going to say it. You brother and his mate are here and they want to see you. Your brother, Grayson, told us his story and now it's time for him to tell you."

"This isn't real!"

"Yes it is and you will soon understand that." Chase murmured into my ear.

"Grayson wants to see you alone but if you don't want to go, that is your choice, darling."

"But listen to us with this, we think you should go see your brother. Get your explanation. You won't feel at ease until you do." Corey pleaded with me and I sighed.

"B-But."

"No buts, love. He is waiting in the lounge on our floor. I think you should go."

"O-Ok."

Let's just say, I'm scared out of my mind.

*****

I can do this.

I can do this.

I can do this.

I can do this.

I can't do this.

What am I thinking? I can't do this. My brother. One who I haven't seen in 8 years, is sitting in the lounge waiting to talk to me.

This is unreal.

I walk up to the lounge and hesitate before knocking on the door.

Knock

Knock

Knock

Kn-

"Come in!" A familiar voice yells from the other side.

I take a deep breath before pushing the door open.

A boy sits on the couch, fidgeting with a ring on his ring finger.

He's married.

He had blond hair, blue eyes, and an clear pair of dimples.

Grayson.

I know I was crying.

He was too.

We were both crying messes and that was as clear as day.

"G-Grayson." I repeated and he held out his arms.

I fell into them.

This is my brother.

And we are finally reunited.

We sat there and cried. We cried and cried and cried and cried.

"W-Why didn't you come back? W-Why didn't y-you keep your promise?" I stuttered into his shoulder and he let out a sigh.

He wiped the last of his tears while mine were still running free and looked me straight in the eye.

"I regret everything."
