i only had two more days left to be in the hospital, so that was a good thing. i didn't have much to do besides stare outside of the window and try to sit still while I was injected with something i didn't know that was supposed to make me feel better.

my mum visited me once in a while which was fun, except she only stayed for twenty or so minutes and she appeared with a different man every time. it made me uncomfortable that we talked about what happened around them, they didn't know what was going on in my life.

i kind of wished phil came at least once, i wanted to thank him and ask him why he saved me in the first place. it was awkward being in here though, it caused me to think about being alone and that i didn't like it and it also caused me to realize that i had emotions, more than i bargained for.

i realized that i had more sadness than happiness and that i had a big temper, causing me to be sometimes bipolar, selfish and jealous. i wanted to try and see if i could figure out phil's emotions, but he was such a hard person to read when he wasn't with me.

"mr howell?" the nurse asked from the door she just opened.

"yes?" i responded. i could speak fine now, hurt sometimes when i had to take deep breaths, but other than that i completely forgot that i had a broken rib.

"there's someone here to see you." she smiled before turning away to lead the mysterious person inside. my stomach twisted and turned in butterflies, hoping that it was phil who finally came to see me.

the nurse left and she was replaced with the last person i wanted to see, "dad? what are you doing here?" i asked and sat up, alarmed.

"hello to you to." he spat bitterly and sat on the chair next to me.

"go away from me." i told him and moved to the edge of the bed so i was far away from him as much as i could be.

"dan please hear me out." he spoke sharply, sounding more like a question.

"why should i hear you out. you caused mom to become addicted to alcohol again and now almost every night she's home with another boy!" i spat at him. his jaw clenched when he heard the part about mom, he's always been a little possessive over my mom, even if they were split apart.

"now leave me alone." i said, reaching for the button to get a nurse in here so that he could leave. his hand shot out and grabbed my hand with a powerful grip that made my eyes go wide and i stared at him in shock, disbelief. "let me go." i whimpered and tried to twist myself from his grasp.

"please just listen to me, daniel!" he yelled, tightening his grip so my arm was turning purple. i yelped and clawed at his hand with my free one and dug my nails into his skin. he let go and stared at me, watching my every move.

i decided to shut up and listen to what he was going to say, rubbing my numb arm and trying to steady my burning chest. "i want you to come live with me, daniel. when you get out of here." he said, trying to stay calm.

i chuckled sarcastically and rolled my eyes at him, "you really think i'm about to leave mum for someone who left us just because of my clothing choice?" i said, emphasising the last two words.

he paused for a minute before he let out a soft, "yes." under his breath.

"fuck you." i said through clenched teeth and reached for the button again, and yet being caught.

"daniel, do you really think i'm going to let you stay with a montionially unstable slut? you can live with me and have the best time of your life." he said and smiled, a smile that looked way too much like happiness.

"mum wouldn't be like that if you never left her, i can tell you still love her, you have the same reaction you've always had whenever she's around another guy." i explained. he opened his mouth to probably yell at me more and possibly hit me but the door opened and a woman poked her head through.

she looked about his age, maybe a few years younger, with light pink hair and a piercing through her eyebrow that lead to  brown eyes, but what she said next put a damn steak through my heart, "honey, let's get going."

my dad, had a girlfriend, if my mom found out i knew what she would do, she would do way more worse than just drink and fuck men. "consider it, daniel." dad said as he stood up to walk out of my room.

first my dad appears randomly out of the blue, wanting me to come live with him and then he surprises me with a girlfriend. i was too speechless that i closed my eyes and tried to control my breathing.

it was impossible, i was freaking out over something i shouldn't even care about. but i knew this was going to hurt my mom so much when i got back that i knew i was probably going to be living alone for a while.
