Chapter#25
"Love Like There Is No Tomorrow"

JOE's P.O.V.

I knocked on the familiar door. I waited nervously for a while. I didn't know how Demi would react. There is a chance I'd be disappointed. There is a chance she won't allow me anywhere near our daughter. I just hope she will.

After a few seconds Miley opened the door.

"Umm...hey, Joe. Demi isn't here" She said. Why is she being so polite?

"Umm...Miley, can you help me?" I asked her

"With what?" She asked confused

"Which hospital is my daughter in?" I blurted out

"Joe, I can't tell you that. It's not my business. It should be between You and Demi" Miley looked down

"Miley, there is a chance Demi won't tell me. I just wanna see my daughter, even if it's for a few seconds. Please?" I begged.

After trying to convince her for another few minutes, she gave in. She gave me the address to the hospital and my daughter's full name and a few informations.

I drove to the hospital and went in. I sighed

"I'm here for Izabella Lovato. Can you tell me which room she's in. She happens to be in a long term coma" I said to the front desk.

"Room 34B, sixth floor." The lady said.

"Thanks." I went to the elevator and to the room.

"Sir, there is already a family member, Izabella's mother in the room. We only allow one person at a time. Please wait till she comes out" A nurse said and walked off.

I looked through the small round window on the door and saw Demi kneeled down beside the bed holding her daughter's hand close to her chest as tears were running down her face. She looked really hopeless while she was begging the small girl to wake up I assume.

That was my daughter lifelessly laying on the cold hospital bed. I didn't know what to do. No one knew when she was gonna wake up. No one even knew If she will even wake up. I just wish Demi would've told me when she was pregnant.

I waited for a few minutes until Demi came out. I was nervous but I tried to act cool.

"Hey, Demi" I said

"Joe, why are you here?" She asked looking up at me. Her eyes were red and so was her nose. Her face was stained with tears.

"I'm...um...here to see....my daughter" I said kinda nervous that she won't allow me.

"Joe, I told you we don't need you in our lives. We're perfectly fine. You have a fiancé, Joe. She won't like it" Demi said

"We...um..called it quit. I actually broke up with Gigi" I said

"Why?" She asked curious

"Because my heart belongs to someone else. And now, I'm gonna try to win her back" I said

"Ow..." She probably didn't get who I meant. But right now, it's fine. It's not the right moment to express my feelings towards her. I'm here for my daughter.

"So, um...can I see my daughter?" I asked.

"Go ahead. I don't think I have the right to stop you from seeing your daughter." Demi said

"Thanks" I gave her a smile and went in.

I walked into the room and my heart shattered into million pieces. There was my daughter laying on the cold hospital bed, lifelessly.

I walked to the bed and kneeled down. I took her small hand in mine and kissed it.

"Hello, sweetheart. I'm your father, Joe. You probably don't know me. But I love you with all my heart. I wish I knew you before. I wish I could watch you grow into such a sweet girl. I wish I was there for your first word and your first step. But guess that's what I deserve for breaking your mom's heart. I wanna be your father. Really. I wanna be there for every thing. I wanna watch you grow into a beautiful woman. I wanna love you like there is no tomorrow. And mostly I want you to open those beautiful eyes. I want you to call me dad even for a single time. Just open your eyes my lovely girl. Please?" I said

I stayed there for another 10 minutes before I had to leave. Demi was still standing outside with tears. I hugged her and said our goodbyes and went home. With tears.

PLS COMMENT. LOVE YA.
