The Attack | merderXdaughter

Chapter 4

When we got back into my moms room I saw my dad on the chair next to my mom. He looked upset. "Hey, dad whats wrong?" He just looked at me and then looked back down to the ground. I let go of Konner's hand and walked over to my dad. I knelt down in front of him with tears in my eyes. 

"Dad..Tell..Me..What..Happened," I said trying not to cry. 

"Its your mom. She can't hear us." 

I was very confused. "What do you mean 'she cant hear us'."

"During the attack her ear drums where damaged. Jackson said it shouldn't be permanent but, we don't know for sure." At this point I was so mad at everyone. My mom is beat to pulp and now she may not be able to hear. I got up and ran out of the room. "Y/n wait," my dad yelled. I ignored him and just continued to run down the stairs straight outside. I just needed some fresh air. 

I found a bench outside and sat down. I stared at the stars and just wished that everything could go back to normal. Where we could just go home tonight as a family and watch a movie or make dinner. Anything would be better then this. 

I sat outside for about an hour before I heard someone walk toward me from behind. I turned around, it was my dad. I turned back around and just tried to ignore him. He still continued to walk toward me and then sat down next to me. We just sat there until he broke the silence. 

"Konner went home, but he wanted me to tell you that he can come and see you this weekend."

"Oh. That's nice of him," I said. I looked over at my dad and he look back at me. I then left his eyes to bury my head into his chest to just cry. I didn't want to cry but I couldn't help it. He pulled me closer to him then grabbed my shoulders so I could meet his eyes. 

"Listen y/n, I know this is not what you what. Hell no one wants it but we need to work together to help your mother. She is going to get better. She will get her hearing back and she will be able to operate again." I knew he was right. 

"I'm sorry dad. It's just so hard but, I'll be there now." He wiped the tears off my face and then smiled at me. I smiled back and then we started to head into the hospital. We decided to take the elevators because we were both to tired to walk. 

We made it back to my moms room to see her sleeping. Dr. Torres and the rest of the doctors said she would be in and out of sleep for awhile because of the healing process. A nurse then came in and asked if we would like some cots for the night. My dad looked at me and said, "Would you like me to drop you off at home or do you want to stay here tonight with me." I told him I wanted to stay with him. 

The nurse then went off to get two cots for the night. She came back about ten minutes later with two coats and two pillows. I already knew I wasn't going to sleep so it didn't matter where I slept or what I slept on. My dad helped me get my bed set up and then he set his own bed set up. I got onto my bed and my dad kissed me and then my mom goodnight. "Goodnight dad. I love you," I said sleepily. "Goodnight sweetie. I love you too." 

Before heading off to bed I placed a small kiss on my moms forehead and told her that I loved her. 

*time jump the next morning*

Surprisingly I got some sleep. Definitely not a lot but enough to get me through the day. I woke up to the sound of my dad and the other doctors talking about my mom and her recovery time. I rolled over and saw my moms bruised face. She was slightly awake but, looked all drugged out. I got up and walked over her. "Good morning mom, I said lightly. She gave me a slight smile. 'At least she smiled' I said to myself. 

I walked over to my dad and said good morning to him and the doctors. They all said good morning back to me and then kept on with the conversation. I just stood there trying to figure out what they were saying. It was something about going in and wiring her jaw shut today to help it heal. I was to scared to hear the rest so I excused myself and went down to the cafeteria. While walking down I bumped into Arizona. "Hey y/n. I heard about your mom, I'm so sorry." 

"Oh hey Arizona. Thanks me too. Do you have anything cool today," I asked trying to change the subject. 

"I have at ttts and then a valve replacement with Pierce." 

"Oh that's cool, well I'll see you later bye." 

"Bye y/n, try to have a good day." I smiled at her and then walked away. As much as I appreciate the kindness from Arizona I really did not want to talk about my mom. I decided to take the stairs down to the cafeteria to avoid any awkward conversations with my parents doctor friends. While getting out of the stairwell I heard my phone ring, it was Konner. I picked it up and sat down on a step. 

*the phone call* 

Konner: "Hey y/n, good morning. How is your mom?"

Me: "She is doing alright I guess. What are you up today?"

Konner: "Nothing just a basketball game and then the party at Michelle's house."

Me: "Crap, I'm so sorry I totally forgot about that. I'm sorry but I don't think I can make it. Can you tell Michelle that I am sorry and that I hope she has a good birthday." 

Konner: "Of course. Well I have to get ready for my game I'll call you later."

Me: "OK good luck. Love you."

Konner: "Love you too. Bye Bye."

I hung up and then got up and finished making my way down to the cafeteria. I only got a muffin because I barley had an appetite but, I needed to eat something. I decided to eat it in the cafeteria because I couldn't sit in that room right now. It was to depressing and hard to see my mom suffer like that. It was even harder to watch my dad, watch the love of his life suffer. I mean the two of them already had gone through hell and now they have to go through this too. Its all to much right now. 

I finished my muffin and then throw out my plate. I then got a text from my dad to come and stay with my mom while he went to get Zola, Bailey, and Ellis and then drop them off at daycare. I replied and then started to make my way up to my moms room.
