Chapter ~13~: Well, hell I was wrong

*********

Don't mind my mistakes

Michael's POV

I got to the familiar, common hospital. I have been in this hospital lots of time for minor injuries and such. I went to the receptionist. She was a woman whom was dressed in a white shirt and skirt with glasses hanging from her eyes. I look at her name tag and it read Claire Jones.

"Hello, I'm here to see Mr Stewart."

"Hello, let me just check my list." She said. "Ah, I have found him, he was checked in here an hour ago. Who are you to him?" She asked lifting her head from the list.

"His Son." I said.

"Oh. Make it right this way." She said, leading me to a room. "He's in this room." She said then left.

I stared at the door for a while and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding then finally opened the door. I opened the door and entered the room to see my dad wearing a hospital cloth, laid on the bed with bandages wrapped around his head.

My eyes started bringing up tears at the sight of my father so badly injured. Too bad my mom was out of the country right now, she went for some sort of business trip.

"Hey son, come here."

I wiped the tears about to fall.

"Don't be sad, I'll be alright. Before you know it all my wounds will heal." My dad continued.

"I know dad, but what if you didn't survive, I would...would be nothing without you, pops." I said, this time letting the tears roll down my cheeks.

"Son, look at me, aren't I alive now? I'll always be here with you in your heart alive or not."

I wiped the tears and started to think on his words. He was right he would always live in my heart anywhere and any day.

I sat on a chair beside my dad. My thoughts sprang in my head. I don't know what to feel right now. I'm glad that I made it to the hospital to see my father but on the other hand I'm devastated that I had to cancel on my date with Vanessa.

I hope she doesn't get the wrong impression of me.

"What is wrong son." My dad asked, snapping from my thoughts.

"Huh? What?"

"You look worried. What's going on in your head." He asked with concern in his voice.

"Er...well I had to cancel on a date."

My dad was silent for a while but he spoke "Was it that bad, you had to cancel on a date."

I nodded.

He sighed. "Go to her son. She seems to be really important to you."

"Are you sure?"

The corners of his lips were upward. "Yes, I'm sure."

"Thanks dad." I returned the smile then started heading out of the hospital.

I got to my car then put the key in its ignition and turned it to hear the roaring of the car, then I was out on the road, heading to Vanessa's house.

I got out of my car in a flash and went to the front door of Vanessa's house. I rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open it.

Finally Vanessa opened the door. When she opened the door I saw the tears that stained her face and the pain in her eyes. I started to feel something in my stomach, that something was guilt. I opened my mouth to speak but before I could say anything, she shut the door.

I knew that Vanessa was hurt and I had to make things right. I rang the doorbell again. No one opened it. I did the only thing that came to mind: Text Vanessa.

Hey Vanessa. I'm so sorry, I can explain.

No reply.

Please can you open the door, I need you to hear me out.

Still no reply.

I was going to explain to her in person rather than text message so I would wait there-no matter what. I heard a window open and saw Vanessa with a look of shock in her face.

Then finally she opened the door.

I saw her face, it was stained with tears and her eyes were all red and puffy. Looking at her made me want to cry myself. I felt so stupid and dumb for what I did-no girl should be seen crying not even a girl as pretty as Vanessa.

She cleared her throat softly and avoided eye contact. "You stayed?" She asked with a surprise tone but covered it up with a fake cough.

"Yes, I stayed and we seriously need to talk" I looked at her the whole time then lifted her chin up. "Can we talk?"

She nodded.

"I know you're angry that I didn't tell you I was cancelling and left you waiting and I'm really sorry. I paused and let out a breath. "My dad was caught up in an accident and I quickly rushed to the hospital."

"Oh my God. Is he okay?"

"He's alright, just a simple injury on his forehead."

It was quiet for sometime cause we both knew nothing to say until Vanessa did what I didn't expect.

She hugged me and I embraced her back. It was so warm and passionate, I could stay in Vanessa's arms forever and won't let a single complaint come out from my mouth.

"Promise you'll never do that again." She said while we were still hugging.

I knew that I could never again let Vanessa cry because the more I see tears run down her cheeks the more I get heartbroken. "I promise."
