Beep...Beep...Beep....Beep...

The beeping from Miks heart monitor was mind numbing.

John, her father had come and gone. Its so weird calling him John but I guess this is a weird situation. Its not like he could stay, he has a family at home. Mik might be his bio daughter but, as I've always believed family is about who was there for you when you needed someone.

"Sir?" I felt someone shacking me fr my sleep in the chair by Miks bed. I was careful not to touche her, didn't want rumors starting. In small towns "news" of that kind travels fast and not only would it harm my carrer Mik already has enough to explain without adding sleeping with the teacher to the mix.

"Yes?" I asked, wiping the sleep from my eyes.

"We need you to step outta the room for a moment, the needs to look at Mik and um.... catalogue the damage done by the abuse." when the nurse said that I felt like punching a wall or a window, window would be better I would be able to break it. Just thinking about what those bastards did to her!!!!!!!!

Chocking back my anger I said, "Ok, Ill go get some coffee or something." I walked out of the room, away from the women I love, with my fists clenched.

I knew that there was something that no one was telling me. When John had first got there the doctor took him out in the hallway, with the police chief Mark, and he came back in looking how I feel now. 

As I started pulling out of my parking space my phone went off. I checked the caller ID and saw it was my mom. So I shut my car off.

"Hey Mom. How is everything?"

"I don't know you tell me. Ive had this feeling like you needed someone to talk to. And I knew you wouldn't call me so I called you."

"Well," I paused with a sigh thinking where to start. "I love my job, its everything I've always wanted. I love the fact that I finally get to be here for Cassy and I get to help people. I have a few students I could do without, but what teacher doesn't?"

"OK, but I highly doubt that's why you need to talk to me." I both love and hate when she knows things like that.

"I found her.." I whispered into the phone.

"Found who?" she asked confused.

"I've told you about the girl from the hotel, with the icy blue eyes."

"The little girl that needed help?"

"Yes. That girl that changed my whole life..." I paused, "The girl that still needs me." I heard my mother gasp in surprise. She had already found out about the hotel girl. She knew that I had been looking for her but she like Alex never believed I would find her. She would just forever be my goal, my never ending obsession. To be laid aside with the rest of my many ambitions that I would never fulfill. "Moms theirs more, I think, well I know..I'm in love..."

Anther gasp of surprise told me she was still listening. "I can tell theres more. Tell me, I want this news all at once."

Well here goes, ethior my mom will fully support me or she will never speak to me agin...
