-Della's POV-

"Oh my god, oh my god.... No, no, no, no! This can't be happening, this can't be real. I'm dreaming, please God don't let this be real! I'm begging, please don't let this be real!"

That's all that was going through my head as I saw my dads car get hit right in front of me, I got my gun out and shot the person in the car that hit him on purpose as soon as they made contact with his car. My car came to a screeching halt as I put it in park and flew out the car with my gun, I had my phone in hand with the police on the phone getting an ambulance that would be here very soon. I looked at the person I shot in the car, it was the bitch from the other night in my dream.... What the fuck?! I pulled my dad out of his car after I undid his seat belt, he looked up at me as he tried to focus his eyes on me.

"Daddy, stay with me. Talk to me!" I said crying, he reached for my hand as I grabbed his and held it to myself.

"I'm okay Della, I'm going to be okay... I'm so proud of you, you're everything I ever wanted a daughter to be and more. You've become a great driver, and you have made a great choice in the husband department. He did lie, but it was because he didn't want you to get hurt, he got confronted by a person who him and Zeus used to be connected to that was in a gang, they got an offer to join the gang again and they turned it down so they had that girl go try and get Theo but it didn't work. He lied and said it was a dream so you didn't worry about anything and were ready for the race, he loves you so much and would never do that to you. Holden has done a good job raising you, better than I could've ever done, tell him I'm proud of him too..." my father said, I started crying harder. The ambulance sirens were getting louder but I couldn't focus on anything as I held onto my dad for dear life, please don't take him...

"Dad, no, stay with me! You can't leave, I need you, Holden needs you! Daddy, you just came back, we have so much to catch up on, please don't leave me! Please don't leave me here, my mother left, I can't have you gone to! I'm just a little girl daddy, DADDY! PLEASE DON'T TAKE HIM FROM ME, GOD! GOD, I'M BEGGING YOU!" I was screaming at the top of my lungs, the paramedics came and took my dad in the ambulance as he was awake for the time being, they rushed him to the hospital. I went from being able to stand on my own as I watched them drive him away to falling on my knees and crying, I can't breathe... I can't do this again, I can't lose him and go through that again when he just came back! I was bawling my eyes out and sobbing uncontrollably in the fetal position now as I was holding my stomach, everything was hurting and I couldn't do anything about it. Theo came and picked me up in his arms as he hugged me tightly, I burried my face in his chest as I held onto his shirt for dear life as I was trying to breathe.

"Breathe Della, he's gonna be alright. Everything will be okay, he's gonna make it! Just breathe for me, deep breathes, and try to stay calm..." Theo's soothing voice said as he traced small circles on my back knowing the effect it has on me, I started to regain my breath as I started doing as he said.

"You could've told me the truth..." I said to him once I was calm, I looked up at him as I was still holding onto his shirt tightly as I stood in front of him.

"I was trying to protect you...But that obviously didn't work, instead I'm the one who caused you this pain." Theo said, I sighed and shut my eyes.

"You did protect me, they just went to my dad to get to me instead. I need to go to the hospital, you can come if you want but I would go home and make sure nothing happened there. I love you, and we're not going to split up like I said we would if I found out you lied." I said to him, he kissed me on the lips and let it linger. We separated as we raced to our cars and went our separate ways, he went home and I went to the hospital to be with my dad.
