Unknown Feelings

Chapter 15: Recovering

"So how do you feel now?" Travis asked me.

We are outside the hospital at 3 am. Sheryl volunteered to stay with my dad for a while.

"I feel better now. I'm positive that he'll wake up soon." I answered.

"Of course he will." Travis pulled my head on his shoulders.

"W-wait. How was Lawrence?" I asked.

He just smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Can you please give me an answer?" I commanded.

"Not good." He replied.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"He moved out with Alice that same night. His mom wanted to talk to me tomorrow." He replied.

Hmmmm. When will this end?

I took a deep breath, trying to absorb everything he said.

"Don't worry. We'll get through this okay? your dad will wake up soon and Lawrence will be fine." He speaks as if everything's just that easy.

"Travis.. I have to go back to check on my dad." I told him.

"Sure. don't worry I'll be fine here. Do what you have to do. I'll see you tomorrow." He leaned towards me and kissed my forehead.

I went back to ask Sheryl to rest.

======================

It was about 12 pm when Joanne came with food. We ate lunch together at dad's room.

"I'll just go and throw all these, then you can go home and rest." Joanne was pointing on the trash that she was holding.

I just nodded. I wrapped up daddy's blanket cause I felt a little cold and I assumed he felt it too.

"I'll be back later dad.." I said as I held up his hands.

Wake up soon.. okay?..

When I was about to turn around. I felt him hold back my hands.

"Dad?" I quickly leaned to check on him.

As I look at him, he slowly opened his eyes.

Omg...

"Dad you're awake!! It's me Hannah." I tried talking to him.

Stupid! Hannah, call the doctor!

"Wait here okay!" I said and I ran outside.

"He's awake!!" I shouted at the front desk near my dad's room. Joanne, who was on the way back to our room heard it too.

"Oh my god!" Joanne quickly ran to our dad's room. The nurses and the doctor followed us too.

"Sorry we just have to run some tests on him." One of the nurses told us before she closes the door.

"Thank god!" Joanne said.

"Indeed. An answered prayer. Ohh-- I have to call Travis." I said as I took out my phone.

"Travis?" Joanne asked.

"Yes. My boyfriend. he's a great guy. I'll introduced him to you someday." I explained.

Joanne just replied with a big smile.

I quickly called Travis. It took a while before he answered.

"Traviss!!!" I screamed.

"He's awake!!" I said.
