Time stood still. My head was spinning. Everything I thought I knew about why my dad did all of that to me was wrong. It wasn't his fault. He couldn't control it.

As if in slow motion nurses and a doctor rushed into the room. They pushed past me to get to my father who laid still on his bed. I heard a nurse yell "Someone get her out of here!"

I shook my head, "No. I'm not leaving my dad."

A nurse tried to lead me out of the room but I pushed her off. "No! I'm not leaving!"

The door opened and I felt someone grab my arms. Immediately I started kicking and thrashing, "No! Let me go!"

The person pulled me out of the room as I kicked and screamed. The door slammed and locked behind us. "DJ, Shh. It's okay. Calm down," Harry whispered.

He held me close to him. At first I struggled, "I need to be in there! I need to be with him!"

Harry tightened his grip on me and started to rock me back and forth. I broke down and let the tears slide down my face. My knees gave out and I just collapsed. Harry caught me and rocked me back and forth. "Shh. It's okay. Everything is going to be fine."

Bella asked "DJ, what happened in there?"

I couldn't pull myself together to answer. Zayn rested his arm on my shoulder, "You can tell us later okay?"

The door of my dad's room opened and a doctor stepped out. The doctor sighed "I'm sorry, there's nothing we could do to save him. I'm sorry for your loss."

My mom didn't do anything. She just stood there with no expression. She didn't even look sad. It didn't even seem like she cared. I looked at her and yelled "Do you even care?! He just died and you're not doing anything!"

She didn't say anything, she just walked away without even looking at me.
