An Unfair Life

hospital

Ahhhh

A scream, coming not so far away. My father moves to protect me, and Tom comes over to us.

"Take her away!" My dad demands, "No! Father let's go!" I say and grab his hand. He looks at Tom, and then He starts dragging me back. I try to fight Tom, but overall he is stronger. Me and tom hide in a little closet in the corner of the room, its not too big. I have no clue what is was for, but me and Tom are so close we are basically hugging. There is a big bang, and I move to hug Tomas. He was stunned at first, but I didn't let up.

I couldn't make out any words, just mumbles. I can feel the tears  in my eyes, and the heat in my face. We hear a moment of silence, until BANG BANG! 

The sound of another gun shot, I hug Tom even tighter. He returns this one, wrapping his arms around me.

We wait a few seconds, before hearing someone yell out. "Lets go!" After that I burst out of the little closet. I start breathing really fast, my chest tightens. My heart sinks when I see my father bleeding out inside in front of me.

I immediately fall on to my knees and see if he is still alive. There is still a little heat beat, I shoot up. Turn back and see Tom, "Hes still alive!!!!" I yell "Call 911!?!" I yell. He pulls out his phone and dials right away.

A few minutes pass and they arrive, they burst through the door with paramedics. It all happens so quickly, I don't know how to comprehend what is happen.

I get in the car with my father and we go to the hospital, I am told to stay in the waiting room. Tom comes in a few minutes later, he comes towards me. "Are you ok? Your not hurt?" He examines me, looking up and down.

"Im good, I swear." I say with a little laugh as he tries to open my eyes. "Ok ok just making sure." For the first time ever I see him smile, a real smile. Showing off his teeth, and well the lips he barely has. "Well how- how is he?" He barley gets out.

"Umm I don't know no one has talked to me or anything? I've only ever seen this happen in TV or read it in books?" I explain, I tend to overshare when neverous. We both take a seat, an uncomfortable seat. After about an hour a young lady comes towards us, she looks around then calls out "Jackson! Anyone her for Jackson?"

I immediately stand up, "Me Me!" I say, she nods and walks our way. He is unstable, the bullet has passed his heart and is now closer to his spinal cord. We could operate but that comes with a risk..." I freeze, my entire body i think my blood stopped pumping. I space out while she talks about risks and effects or whatever. My father, the person who is most important to me. Someone who is irreplaceable, and can never be forgotten. There is a whole day to recognize the wonderful amazing dads out in the world!

What would I do without him? What about his company? What about him? Does he have anyone else?

Questions immediately flood into my brain. I feel dizzy, I wanna pass out. I start to wobble, but Tom puts his arm around me. I can't help but feel safe and protected.

"-You can have a few minutes to decide. But if we are gonna operate we should do it soon." Is all I hear, the smiles and walks away. "T-Tom W-What is happening?" I ask him. He sits me down, and croches in front of me. "I think we should operate, but its up to you. He's a fighter and wouldn't wanna die like this." DIE

My father is gonna die. Wow ok ummmmmm. ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT! "No pleas- he can- i lov- Tom ple-" I can't get a sentence out, imma break down right here in front of him. "Its ok,  he'll make it." Tom says, the reassurance in his voice make it sound better, he talks with confidence. I can see past it all, Tom has no clue what will happen! "Ok ok whatever we do! He can't die tom I need my dad! Please!" I beg Tom like its his choice.
