Home Is Where The Heart Dies

Chapter 10

   After me and Alex's date I went back to the hospital. I found my parents in their room just having a normal conversation when I asked them," what happened?" Knowing they knew what I was talking about.
   There was just silence until my father spoke," very horrible things."
   "Like what?" I asked knowing I was being nosy but I just wanted to ask the question that I wanted to ask them since they came back.
"To horrible to speak of right now but maybe someday in the future we will talk about it," he said indicating that he was ending the conversation. I didn't say anything as my parents started up the conversation they had before I asked the question.
Before I could say anything I got a phone call. I accepted it and walked outside into the hallway.
   "Yes?" I asked.
   "Is this Miss. Cassie Bisdy?" The man on the other side asked.
   "Yes this is she," I said trying to sound professional.
   "I have some information for you so please as soon as possible come to the police station," the, I am guessing officer, said before hanging up.
   "Ok thank you," I said to the empty hallway.
"Where are you going?" My mom asked me when I stepped back inside their room to grab my purse.
"To the police station."
"Come here after, ok?" My mom said probably eager to hear about the motive of her captive.
"I will," I smiled before taking off.
                  *****
   "I'm glad to hear your parents are doing good," an officer, who I didn't catch the name of, smiled before becoming really serious.
"We talked to Diana Mc.Phee and found out her motive," he paused," she claimed that she wanted to get revenge on them for not being able to save either her husband or her daughter."
"But it's not my parents fault," I argued," they are just normal doctors who did all that they could do."
"I understand-"
"Do you?" I cut him off.
"I understand how mad you must be feeling but she is being led to her cell right now," he finished.
"Sorry," I apologized for my outburst.
"It's fine now let me lead you out," he smiled something like sympathy and led me back through the hallways and to the door.
"Thank you for letting me know," I said before walking out and getting in my car so I could tell my parents.
*****
"That case was horrible remember it honey?" my dad asked my mother.
"Yea I remember," she pushed her glasses up her nose," her daughter had a brain tumor and there was no cure."
"That poor woman," my father frowned.
"You feel bad for her?!" I said angrily.
"I feel bad that she lost both her husband and daughter," my dad said with a look that said quiet down.
"Just because she did this to us doesn't mean we hate her for the rest of our lives," my mother stated," it would only hurt us longer if we kept that hurt in our heart."
"I think I'm going to go," I sighed as left for home where ice cream was waiting in the freezer.
*****
I just wanted to be alone but of course Gabby heard me get home and just felt like she should come over and bother me.
Luckily an hour into her being with me her mother found that she was gone and called her back home. I pretended that I was sad that she was leaving, even though I wasn't. As soon as she left I went to the freezer and got the ice cream out.
I flopped my butt on the couch than turned on The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games makes me feel like Ian being active even though I am not being active at all.
Before I could get even halfway done I got a call from the hospital.
"Yes?" I answered.
"Your mother wants to talk to you," is all the lady said until I heard my mother's voice.
"Cassie?"
"What?" I asked.
"You do get what I was trying to tell you right?"
"Yea."
"Good well I just wanted to make sure you were alright goodnight."
"Goodnight," I smiled knowing that my mother cares enough to check in on me even when I was rude.

Next Day
   "I see your back," my father grinned when I walked into their room the next day.
   "Yea I'm sorry about yesterday," I scratched the back of my head.
   "Yesterday was the past today is the future," my mother stated.
   "Umm ok," I laughed.
   "It's very true though, we can just wipe the slate clean."
   "I guess your right," I agreed.
   "Your mothers always right," my father laughed really loud making the nurse come in and make sure he was ok.
   "You have another visitor," the same nurse said as Alex walked in.
"Hey," he said as he sat down next to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Hello Alex," my dad said somewhat defensively.
"Dad it's ok," I said giving my dad a glare.
"Nice to meet you Alex," my mom said very sweetly.
"Nice to meet you too Mrs. Bisdy."
"Thank you for looking after our little girl while we were "gone"," she chuckled like she was talking to a babysitter.
"Umm your welcome," he scratched his head as he looked to me for help.
But before I could give it my mom spoke up," you should get out of here for a while."
"Ok let's go get coffee," I said to get Alex out of this conversation that was going down hill.
"Sounds great," he grinned as he grabbed my hand and we walked out.
*****
"I'm sorry about them," I told Alex after I took a sip of my caramel mocha.
"Just wait till you meet my dad," he chuckled.
"I'm sure he isn't that bad."
"The only thing I'm saying is that he is worse than your parents combined."
"Your making him seem like he is a girlfriend torturer," I joked.
Alex put on a very serious look and said," why do you think I've never had a girlfriend before?"
I probably looked terrified until Alex chuckled.
"I got you," he laughed really loud drawing the attention of other tables.
"You meanie!" I play punched him.
"Ah come on it was hilarious!"
"I guess it was," I started laughing along making people give us stares like we were even to crazy to be in a circus.
*****
"You didn't bring us any coffee," my father complained when I got back.
"Are you even allowed to have any?" I asked.
"No," he frowned.
"See?"
"Well how did it go?" My mom asked changing the subject.
"How did what go?" I asked confusedly.
"Your date," my dad aid grumpily.
"Good I guess," I said still confused.
"Tell me more about your boyfriend," my mom said sitting up so she could listen.
"Ok if you want me too."
"I do."
"Ok," I smiled as I began.
*****
Next Day
Yesterday I told my mom everything and more. I told her about everything since I came back home. She was listening to every single detail and eventually my dad got over his little "tantrum" and listened too. I ended up leaving at 8:00pm.
I am just really happy I found my parents and everything is good again. There is nothing wrong in my life anymore and the puzzle is completed.

Hey guys! So this one is the last chapter, if I'm not counting the epilogue which will be posted really soon.
