Finding My Dad

12) melt down

I was speechless. I didn't know what to say or if I even could say anything. all I could focus on right now was being wrapped up in my dads arms.

He was still bent down, hugging me, rubbing my back, and holding the back of my head with one of his hands. I had a never ending supply of tears.

We stayed like that, wrapped up in each others arms for a while, probably 5 minutes, before he looked at me

"You want to go home?" he asked. I sniffed and nodded and he picked me up. I was on his hip, legs around his waist and my arms weren't leaving his neck for anything.

Harry and Liam got into their cars, and Zayn put me in his. "dad?" I asked. "hmm?" he responded

"Is Harry and Liam coming too?"

"Maybe later, when they come I'll tell them to bring the rest of the boys too."

I don't exactly want to meet Louis and Niall, I'm sure they're great guys, but as of now, the only person I can kind of trust is my dad. Alex surprised me by smacking me. Anyone could easily be able to hit me and take advantage of me. I don't want to relive what just happened.

"Hey dad?"

"Yes?"

"Didn't you just pass your apartment?"

"Yeah, were going to the doctors to make sure you're ok" he said.

"Oh" I replied.

"On the way back, do you want me to get your things, or do you want to come?"

"I-I don't know" I said.

"Ok, that's fine. we don't have to discuss it now."

"So I get to live with you from now on? I don't have to see my mom ever again?"

"I wouldn't say never see her again, but for now, you'll be with me. Are you happy?"

"I'm super happy, thank you so much dad" I beamed.

The car ride was over and we pulled into a parking lot specifically for urgent care patients.

My dad got out of the car and walked over to my side as I was getting out. He took my hand and led me into the building.

Dad went to the front desk and checked me in? I don't really know what he said.

He came back over and sat down next to me. "it'll be about 10 minutes" he said. I nodded and sat quietly.

A nurse called my name and we stood up, following behind her.

"daddy?" I whispered

"Yes baby?"

"Is this going to hurt?"

"No, not at all sweetheart. it's kind of like a check up, to see if you're head and cheek are ok"

"Are you sure?" something told me he was lying. I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach.

"Yes, I'm sure." He smiled while pulling me in next to him. I was walking right next to him, his arm wrapped around my shoulder.

"The doctor will be right with you, can you sit on there, please?" the nurse smiled. I nodded and climbed on the bed thingy.

"What seems to be the problem?" she asked.

"Uhm, I- uh" I looked to my dad for assistance, I couldn't bring my self to repeat what happened, the memory was still so fresh in my mind.
