Tori's P.o.v

There was a knock at the door and I ran downstairs to be greeted by Niall.

I glanced at the time 6:27. "You're Late"

"Well I don't exactly look forward to seeing you, just saying" I rolled my eyes and my mom walked in, she had tear stains down we cheeks.

She quickly wipe then away when she saw Niall standing by me.

She walked over to Niall and introduced them.

"Niall this is my mom. Mom this is Niall"

"Your boyfriend?" She asked with hope in her voice.

"No!" I practically screamed. "We were assigned a project together"

"Oh" is all she said and I dragged Niall into my room.

"Aw Has Tori never had a boyfriend?" He asked trying to get me irritated. And it worked. I rolled my eyes again. "You know if you roll your eyes too much they will get stuck" ignored him and got out all of the materials for the paper mâché.

We started to work and I was suprised that Niall actually helped me. We both kept our mouths shut. We were almost done when the phone rang, I got up to get it.

It stopped and obviously my mom got it so me and Niall just started again, but we were Interrupted by my mom bursting into my room.

More years were falling down her cheeks when she said, "It's Your Father" She ran back downstairs and yelled up," Hurry and get ur sweatshirt I'll be in the car"

"You gotta go" I said while he followed me downstairs. I grabbed my sweatshirt and we both went outside into the front lawn enforce he said,

"I hope he died, so you could be alone in this world" I started to cry, but I just went to the car and hopped in.

"What happened?" I looked at her with tears building up in my eyes.

"There was a drunk driver... He is in critical condition" I mumbled Oh my gosh to myself an we finally made it to the hospital.

I walked in and my mom went to the counter, she escorted us to the room.

It was like a never ending maze of rooms. Everything seemed to be a blur with the tears gathering in my eyes. Each room I would walk by, there would be people who would looks t me with hope in their eyes. that's what made me cry even more.

We finally made it I his room and he was laying there with a full body cast. My mom and I covered our mouths in shock.

How could this happen?

His eye started to gently open, "dad..?"

"Sweetie" he mumbled. I couldn't really understand, he was just getting use to talking. I bet it hurt.

"Dad.' I ran in his arms and we stayed like that, I stained his doctor dress with my tears.

"I'm so sorry I'm not there for you" he said with pain behind his eyes.

"It's okay..." I spoke. My mom backed me up and she started to talk to him.

I was pulled into the hallway by the doctor. I looked her straight into her eyes, hoping she would tell me that he was going to be fine, that he was okay.

"He's in critical condition." she said. I broke down, I mean he was my father.

She was about to say something else, but my mom came into the hallway I join us.

"His beeper is going out." She said with sadness in her voice.

I ran into the room and I sat next to him again. "I love you" my voice cracked.

"I love you too" And then the brooder started to get low. It was almost a a straight line , but he said 7 words that changed my life. "Tori, I am so proud of you" Then there was a loud beeping sounds.

The doctors and nurses ran in and started to pump on his chest and we walked out.

I replayed the words in my head: Tori, I am so proud of you.

And my dad doesn't lie, from then on I was determined to make him proud of me, no matter how hard it would be.
