The Story Of Veronica Lodge

Chapter 5

Veronica Lodge's POV

I walked into the hospital room, and saw my dad. Laying on the bed so peacefully, his chest hardly rising. I was worried I was going to lose him. But I tried to think positive. All I had left, for family, was daddy and Ms. Greene. Ms. Greene had been my nanny and maid since I was just a little girl. At just 20 years old she had got the job, and she did everything for me. I can't imagine life without her. Oh and my father, my idol, role model, but most of all my inspiration. He's a true businessman, and since I have no brothers then business would be passed down to me. He always told me, "Even if I did have sons, I'd pass my own business to my favorite and most intelligent girl in the world." I adored my father, he never gave up on me, even if I had a slight attitude. He bought me everything I could wish for, I was spoiled. I was a brat. Now that I might lose him, everything has changed. I couldn't live without him. I needed him. I have one best friend that reminds me of my dad, Betty. She was always there for me and did everything she could for me, and I was so selfish.

     I walk towards my father and kneel next to his bed. I hold back my tears. For he sees me as a strong woman.

     "I love you daddy. I need you to wake up for me. I know things are hard right now. But with just me and you now, we'll be able to spend more time together. We have to be there for each other. I promise I'll do whatever you need. I just need you to wake up. I can't live on my own, I'm not stable enough. I can't live without you daddy." I whisper into his ear.

     Now the tears start to fall. Ms. Greene held me tight and rocked me back and forth.

     "Hush my little corvo. It's going to be just fine. We'll fly away from this mess altogether." Ms. Greene promises.

     Corvo means raven in Italian, Ms. Greene thinks my hair is "raven colored". Ever since I was a little girl, she has been calling me her "little raven", since I was 4 years old. She moved in with us after she fled from Italy, and she is still learning English. I love Ms. Greene, I think of her as my mother figure sometimes. But especially now that I don't have a mother.

     I look over at daddy once again, to see if he's awake. He's not. I look at his heart meter, and it's very slow. I'm worried and want to stay at the hospital, but Ms. Greene takes me home.

    When we arrive home, Ms. Greene tucks me into bed, just like daddy does. She stays with me until I fall asleep, just like daddy does. She holds my hand, and when she leaves replaces it with a teddy bear, just like daddy does. She makes me happy and I fall asleep rather quickly. Just to be awaken for school the next morning. Oh how I hate Monday.
