Wait He's My Dad

Coming Home

-Hope's P.O.V-

"Hope, you ready to go home?" Dad asked. "Yes." I said. "Here's some clothes to change into." Dad said handing me clothes. "Thanks." I said. "Do you want help?" Adrienne asked. "Yes. If you don't mind helping me." I said. Everyone else left the room expect for her and Ashley. "Ashley, you don't need to be in here." Adrienne said. "She's like my sister, I'm helping her too." Ashley said. "After we get you ready to leave the doctor has to put casts on your left arm and right foot." Adrienne said. "You must be kidding." I said. "No we're sorry. You hit those bones just right, but the foot is just really for your ankle." She said. "Okay." I said. "So I'm guessing I'm getting a wheelchair." I said. "Yes you are." She said. "We can always make it more Hope." Ashley said. "True." I said. "So now are you going to get ready?" Adrienne asked. When they helped me change the doctor came in. "Did they tell you about the broken bones?" The doctor asked. "Yes." I said. "What color would you like for the casts?" The doctor asked. "Blue foot cast and black arm cast." I said. "Okay." The doctor said.

When the doctor got done with putting my cast on, I got to leave. "I can't wait to go home." I said. Sadly I was sitting in a wheelchair because I couldn't walk or use crutches. "You will not be allowed to do things without one of us." Dad said. "We will get you everything you need." Dad added. "Okay." I said. "This is so going to be boring." I added. "You have me to keep you company." Ashley said. "Scary movie nights?" I asked. "Are you stupid?" She asked. Then we both started to laugh. "Let's get going." Dad said pushing me out of the room. "I can't believe this happened to you." Adrienne said. "I'm not surprised that this happened to me." I said. "What will I do when I go back to school?" I asked. "I'm helping you around." Ashley said. "Okay." I said.

Soon we ended up back at home, and they took me to my room. "I'm going to hate this." I said to dad. "I know. I want to talk about you supposedly seeing your mom." He said. "I saw her. She told me you needed me and I needed you. She also tried to save me; if that makes sense to you." I said. "It kind of does. I just don't understand why she didn't take you. Your mother loved you." He said. "Dad. I love you, but I wish she did take me with her instead of letting me stay on this earth. I mean I would finally get to meet her, and we both would pretty much couldn't do anything." I said. "I can see why, but I'm glad she didn't take you. I understand wanting to get to meet your mom. If I couldn't talk or meet my mom I would want to meet her dead or not." He said. "What was mom like?" I asked. "She was a lot like you, and she was a trouble maker. She skipped school all the time, but that was about it she never did drugs or alcohol." He said. "Oh. Did you love my mom?" I asked. "Yes. The guys even loved her." He said. "We were a family until everything bad happened. I went down some dark roads and so did the guys. They protected you as if you were their own." He said. "Dad you don't mind me calling Adrienne mom do you?" I asked. "No. I would actually love it and so would she." He said. "Okay dad." I said. "I want to sleep some more so good night." I said. "Good night." He said. He walked out of my room and Adrienne walked in. "You okay?" She asked. "As okay as I will be." I said. "If you need anything I will get everything you need." She said. "Okay. Thank you." I said. She turned to leave and then I stopped her. "Mom, can you stay here until I sleep?" I asked her. "Sure." She said sounding shocked. I moved over and looked at her. "You can lay next to me." I said. "Okay." She said getting in next to me. "Thanks for taking me in as your own. I understand that you want to protect us and I can see why you told dad we skipped." I said. "Hope, you are my husband's kid. You are now one of my own kids, I may have not gave birth to you but you are one of the kids now." She said. "I hope you don't mind me calling you mom. I never had someone to call mom." I said. "I really would love it for you to call me mom." She said. I hugged her and then slowly fell asleep while she was rubbing my back.
