Oscar

Chapter Three: Action

    I was finally done with my venture for an Oscar. I was going to take a break for a year. However my father was trying to win an Oscar. He was starring in the movie "Whintlesh". He was going to do great.
                          ⋯
    My dad was nominated for best actor for his movie. I was happy for him
                          ⋯
    One day while I was watching TV the phone rang. I answered. It was mom.
    "Sweetie I have to tell you something." she said in a sad voice.
    "What mom?" I said questioning her.
    "Your dad."
    "Dad what? What happened what's wrong?"
    "He's in the hospital."
    "Why? What happened?"
    "There's something wrong with him."
    "Where is he?"
    "He's at Beverly Hills hospital."
    "I'm going over there."
    I was on my way to the hospital and a tear streamed down my face.
    I got into the hospital and saw my dad lying in a hospital bed.
    "Hey sweetie, I'm so happy to see you." he said in a low voice.
    "Me, too." I said sadly.
    "Hey how were the Oscars for you."
    "Great. What's wrong with you?"
    "I have cancer."
    "Really?"
    "Yeah. But don't let this get you down. I'll fight until the end. I'll fight until I can fight no more."
    "But dad how'd you get cancer."
    "I don't know. The doctor just told me. I guess cancer just happens.
    I felt a tear drip down my face like a rain drop. Then I felt a rush of tears like a waterfall. Then my mom came into the room with the same expression on her face. We were both sad and afraid.
⋯
    It was finally the day of the Oscars. I was in my dad's place. My eyes were red while thinking of him. Then they were announcing the best actors. they read of the card.
    Then they announced "The winner for best actor is... Leonardo Dicaprio."
    I was so happy for my dad. I went up to go get the Oscar. I now had mixed emotions. I was sad that he had cancer and also happy that he finally got to win his Oscar. Leonardo Dicaprio finally won an Oscar.
As soon as the Oscars were over there were crowds of people while I was trying to get out to the hospital. I finally made it out.
I got to the hospital and almost sprinted toward where my dad was. He was laying there with no emotion on his face. Looking off into the distance.
"Dad!" I almost shouted.
"Yes, sweetie!" he said in a low voice.
"You finally won your Oscar."
"I did!"
"You did, you did. Oh my God you did! You finally did it."
"Great!"
Then I heard a noise. It was the heart rate monitor. It was flat.
"Dad!" I said in a calm voice.
"Dad?!" I shouted louder.
"Dad?!!" I shouted.
"Is there a doctor? Someone please come?" I shouted at the top of my lungs.
"Yes. I'm a doctor." the doctor said and came in.
"Sweetie I was just acting." my dad said.
"What?" I said.
"I didn't die. I will always be here forever and always."
"Dad. You scared me. How could you do that to me."
"I was just practicing my acting"
"Dad. What if you actually die of cancer?"
    "I will be with you forever and always"
    "What?"
    "Even if I die."
    Then I handed him the Oscar and he smiled.
    "Forever and always."
    Forever and always.
