Alone, Trapped, & Scared

Chapter 4

I hope you like it (:

"Princess, I'm so sorry I left you and your mom alone all those year and I wasn't here to pick you back up after she passed. I love you, I always have and always will. I promise you the night I left I wanted to walk back in and take you with me, but I knew she wouldn't let me. So I started my own life trying to get a decent job and find you was all that was on my mind." My father paused and smiled, "And now I got both, I'm the world's happiest man alive right now."

My eyes began to tear up and a few slipped and ran down my face. He enveloped me in a hug that made me feel like I finally felt safe and someone actually cared, like I had a father. I didn't know I was in such a desperate need for one until now.

Another pain shot through my body and let out an awful scream. My dad jumped away fear in his eyes and doctors filled the room trying to push him as he struggled against them to stay with me. I ignored the paina and smiled. That's what fathers do, I thought. They do anything for their children, anything to keep them safe and happy.

The doctors figured out what medicine gave me the side effect of pain and quickly took me off of it replacing it with a different one.

I let out a sigh of relief knowing I wouldn't have to feel that pain again. I then slowly fell into the world of dreams.

When I woke up, I looked around wanting to see my father like last time, but realized he wasn't there. Instead I saw Keith.

Keith leaned down next to my ear and whispered so softly it sent shivers down my back, "Things aren't the way they seem. The more things change, the more people lie."

He turned to leave like last time, but this time I called out to him saying wait. He turned back so he was facing me and said, "I'll be back, I'd never leave you."

After that he scurried out. The words echoed in my head, I'll be back, I'd never leave you.

Then I got a headache and things turned dark. Am I going into amother coma? No, DAD! I screamed in my head. Then I lost conciousness and was surrounded my darkness.
