Karl's POV
Chris elbows me and stands up. He walk over to her "alright I have one more presents for you so wait here and I will get it," he walks over to where the bouncing house thing is and is gone for a few minutes.
She's still wearing her green hat and giggling, it makes me happy to see her like this.Then Chris comes back around the corner, nothing in his hands. Following close behind him a k-nine dog walks around the corner, "YOU DIDNT," she yells and looks up to at me.
Around the corner comes a tall man dressed in a military outfit. She stands up and runs down the hall bursting into tears. She jumps into his arms and they hug tightly and he lifts her up and starts walking towards the crowd.
"Happy birthday y/n," he says to her and she slides down looks up at him and wraps her arms around him again.
" this is why you never text me right, you didn't forget right," she says still hugging him
"No, how could I ever forget your birthday," he says and he starts to tear up.
She lets go of him and turns to hug Chris. "Best birthday presents ever Chris," she says hugging him tight " thank you, so much," one more tear falls down her cheek as she pulls away from the hug. She looks back at the man and he grabs the hat off her head. "DAD, GIVE IT BACK," she giggles as she looks up at him.
He reaches up and grabs the one off his head, then placing it on her head "one for when I left and one for when I came back," a tear falls down his cheek.
Y/n turns around and looks up, not at anything but just up. Then back down. She slowly turns around and hugs who I now know is her dad. He places the older hat on his head and hugs y/n tightly for a minute. She turns back to Chris hugging him once more.
"Thank you, your the bestest friend ever," she says and the man taps me on the shoulder, I turn around looking up slightly and he greats me. "I don't believe we have met," he hold his hand out and I shake his hand "I'm y/ n's dad, y/d/n y/l/n,"
"Oh I'm Karl," I say with a smile
"You've got a tight grip there son, anyways it's nice to meet you," his voice sounds similar to y/n's in a way.
"Nice to meet you too," I say and let go of his hand turning back to y/n and Chris hug, witch has ended.
Y/n walk up to me and Hugs me, I hug back and we sway side to side a little, I feel eyes on me, but it's not Chris or jimmy because they are standing off talking, as y/n let's go of our hug I look around to see y/n's dad looking directly at me, he looks happy.
Y/n's POV
I walk over to my dad and sit down on him lap, just as I did when I was little. "So, is that Karl kid your boyfriend," he asks me
I laugh nervously "well he's not my boyfriend yet, but I hope eventually he is," I sigh and my dad rubs my back
"I only ask because I've never a day in my life seen you hug someone like you hug that kid, although I haven't really been around for much of your life so I can't really judge," there's a moment of silence before he grabs my shoulders "ether way I'm happy for you, I hope you know that," he lets go of my arms as I stand up to walk away.
He stands up and grabs my right hand, and I winch in pain, "what happened to your hand?" He asked with a worried face.
"I was cutting up strawberries and cut myself, but it's getting better now," he looks confused.
" but you don't have a car, how did you get to the hospital, was mom home or something?" I looks up at him
"no," I point to Karl from across the room, "he drove me,"
there's more silence before he asked another question "wait, what exactly happened?"
"Well, me and Karl where hanging out in my room the night before and ended up falling asleep, the next morning Karl was still there and then I cut my hand. Luckily Karl was really helpful and helped my not fall or pass out as I tried to stop the blood. I almost passed out and would have if it wasn't for him. Then we drove to the hospital and got the stitches," I try my best to give as much detail without saying that Karl was hugging me the way he just was to keep me awake.
My dad looks away and back at me "so he saved your life?" He questioned.
Oh god "ya, he did actually," I say with a little bit of embarrassment. My dad quickly looks at Karl and starts walking up to him. My dad starts talking to Karl.
Karl's pov
Y/n's dad walk up to me again, he try's to say something but nothing comes out. His eyes tear up a little, then he grabs me and hugs me, I'm a little confused, but I hug back anyways. "Thank you," he managed to say before letting go of his tight grip on me.
"thanks for what?" I ask
"You saved my daughters life, thank you Karl," he puts his hands on my shoulders as he says it
"Oh, your welcome," he walks back over to y/n and sits down I try to read his lips, but can only make out the words 'good man'
I'm taken out of my focus by Chris shaking me, "man your lucky, he's a hard one to flatter, took me a few years for him to like me,"
I look at Chris. "You know, the second I lauded eyes on y/n I knew one day I would be there when she needed me most, and now it's all paying off, might not have gone as I thought it would but," I turn and looks back at y/n.
Chris looks at me and says "he left when she was 6, when we became friends the hat she had was on her head, at the time she was 13. She wore that hat any time she got the chance. On her 16th birthday she had the hat on and we where goofing off so I took it and she was shorter at the time and couldn't reach it, that's why I did it earlier. The day her dad left he took the dog that walked in with him and she hasn't seen the dog sense." There's a moment of silence
"everything that happened today was to bring back memories she forgot she had, and I think it did."
I think for a second " then what as the bouncing house for?" I ask him "the day before her dad left he got her one, she played on it for so long so he came out and they ate dinner together one last time, in the bouncing house,"
