Lily Halstead

Chapter 4

"Hey Lily," Maggie said as I walked in to the ED. "Hey Maggie, Dr. Rhodes and Will brought my dad in. Do you know where he is?" I looked up seeing Dr. Manning talking to Will. "Yeah, He's in room." Maggie said pointing to the room right behind me. I turn around and started to walk to the room but Will got in front of me. "Lily, what are you doing here?" I was a little taken back, when he asked such a stupid question. "Really, Will you brought dad in I want to make sure he is ok." I took a step forward and Will took step to stop me again. "Lily, You could just call me. I am his doctor, and I don't think it a good idea for you to go in right know. And also I think it would be best if you live with me or Jay until you move in your apartment."

I looked at Will shocked at what he said. And all I wanted to do is smack him. "Really Will, I'm going to see dad. And act like you didn't just say that. Also I'm not going to move out unless dad says so." Will looked down and I knew he was holding back something. "Lily he told me last night he wanted you out." I felt hurt. But I knew I hurt dad when I left and he was getting me back for it. "I'm going to talk to dad, Will."

I walked into the room and see him laying on the bed with wire hooked up. "Dad" I said slowly walking in. He opened his eyes and looked at me. "What you doing here Lily?" He asked I took a step towards my father. "I wanted to make sure you were ok. I was worried." Dad didn't say anything just looked at me. "Please dad." I put my hand on his and he moved his hand away. "What you want to act like my daughter. You left us Lily, You left all of us. You can't just walk back in and start from where you left off. You left the family." his voice was cold.

"Dad." I looked behind me and see Will, Maggie, Dr. Charles and Connor. I felt tears coming down. "What now your going to have feeling. Where was your feeling when you left. And not only that you couldn't pickup a phone." He started to cough  Will and Connor rushed in. "Dad take it easy." Dad just pushed Will away. "NO! Lily you choose not to call your family all these years. Then all of a sudden you just show up?" I stepped back "Sorry." I quietly said and took off.

"Lily" Maggie said as I went to leave the hospital. He was right though but, he also didn't understand and it's not his fault because he didn't know the real reason. I walked over to the side of the hospital and stood there for a moment to catch my breath. I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Lily" I heard Jay's voice and I turn around. "You ok?" I looked behind my brother to make sure I wasn't going to cry. "Yeah, I need to go back home and get my things." I hugged Jay and left. My heart was hurting I loved my father but I did hurt him and it was my fault.

I walked up to the front door and took a deep breath. The memories of this morning came flooding back and seeing my father hurt made me upset. I open the door and walked in. I walked into the kitchen to start cleaning up, that was the least I could do for my dad before he comes back home. I grabbed a beer from the fridge and took a drink and then started to clean. I put some music on and cleaned the kitchen, living room and then went to my room to start packing. I grabbed another beer as I was making my way to my room.

"Beep, Beep, Beep" I grabbed my phone as I herd the rings and seen that I had four new messages. Two from Will, one from Jay both asking how I was and Will other one asking where I was. I made a quick text letting them know I was ok and I will call them both soon. But then I froze when I saw the other text. "No" I thought to my self. "My love you really thought you could leave? I'll be seeing you soon." I turn my phone off and grabbed my things and throw my stuff in the car. I really needed to change my number. I jumped into the car and drove to the phone store to change numbers and phones, just incase.
