Dad POV

When I got to the doors, I walked in and asked if Lyla was in here. They gave me her room number after a few minutes. I took the elevator and waited. When I got to the room, I saw someone I thought I would never see again. We looked at each other for a few seconds. . . 

Then he did something I would have never expected: He punched me

I fell back onto the hallway floor. I felt a sharp pain from my nose. I checked it, and sure enough it was bleeding. I looked up, and saw my son. Young Tayler Holder. He took his mothers last name. We never got around to marriage. I just looked at him with hurt written all over my face.

"s-son?" I said with hurt in my voice

"Don't give me that bullshit! I was never your son, and you never treated Lyla like your daughter! Do you know that you were the reason she did this?! You hurt her, you made her believe that nobody could ever love her, and you even threw a BEER BOTTLE at her! You put her through so much pain and you gave her only one option to get out of it! You don't deserve her, you don't deserve any of us!"

I lay there and think about everything. I hurt her, he knew about it, I hurt both of my children. I hurt my daughter and gave her only one way out. I was the reason she did this. I made her kill herself. I gave her no reason to believe she would ever be loved. I just laid there and started crying. At first, they were little tears I could hold back. But the more I thought of my mistakes, the heavier the tears became. And soon enough, I was balling my eyes out on the cold hallway floor. I was sobbing so loud until finally a nurse came and took me to the room. 

I walked in and saw Lyla lying down on the bed. I felt so bad. She was awake though. But that didn't mean I felt any better. I walked over, and she just started waking up. She looked terrified at first, and started squirming and crying  in her bed. One thing was plastered on her face: Fear. I just started patting her head.

"No, no. Don't worry. I don't want to hurt you anymore. I won't hurt you anymore. I realise now, that nothing was ever your fault. It was mine, sweetie" 

She looked at me with disbelief. She started loosening herself. She couldn't believe this was happening

"I'm so sorry, Lyla. I should never have hurt you. I shouldn't have even blamed you. I could never forgive myself now that I look back at everything I did. I'm so sorry, my sweet darling little girl" I couldn't hold it in. I burst into tears on the side of her bed. I couldn't.

Then, I felt someone grab my hand. I wiped my eyes and saw Lyla.

She took a moment and gripped onto my hand even tighter. 

"I saw mom"

I looked at her with such a huge smile on my face. I cried little tears of joy.

"Well, you look like her more and more everyday" I say with a smile on my face

She looks at me with such happiness, she made me realise how much I would look forward to that smile every day and night.

I looked around and just noticed the boy sitting in the chair.

"he saved me, he's my best friend"

I looked back at him. I walked over to him and put my hand out

"I'm Lyla's dad. I just want to say thank you. You probably heard how much of an asshole I am" 

I say with a light laugh. He shakes my hand and laughs a little bit

"What was your name?"

"Jack. Jack Avery"

"Well, Jack, again, Thank you for saving my daughters life"

Lyla POV

I slept for another day. And when I woke up, I saw my dad. At first I was mad, but then that turned to of fear. I started moving in my bed. I was scared what he was gonna do. I tried to move away from him. But he did something unexpected. He patted my hair, and looked like he had been crying.

"No, no. Don't worry. I don't want to hurt you anymore. I won't hurt you anymore. I realise now, that nothing was ever your fault. It was mine, sweetie"

I looked at him with such a confused look. She loosened myself up. I couldn't what was happening right now

"I'm so sorry, Lyla. I should never have hurt you. I shouldn't have even blamed you. I could never forgive myself now that I look back at everything I did. I'm so sorry, my sweet darling little girl"  Just with that last sentence, he burst into tears. I couldn't tell whether he was being genuinely serious. But then again, when have I ever seen him like this. I took a chance

I grabbed onto his hand, and he looked taken back. He finally wiped his eyes, and looked at me

I gripped his hand even tighter. I smiled and told him:

"I saw mom"

He looked shocked for a second. But then he smiled

"Well, you look like her more and more everyday"

He smiled and so did I
