Just Another Love Story (Damon & Stefan Salvatore)

Part 6

Sam and I have been allowed to go into my dad's room. He's still been asleep but I've been sitting aside him. A nurse said he woke up but they had to do some tests and then he went back to sleep. It's about nine in the morning. Sam went to grab us some coffee. I only slept for about two hours. Rick just texted me asking how things are.

"Skye?" My dad fadely said. I stood up and went over to him.

"Hey dad, how ya feeling?" I questioned with a grin.

"I'll be fine. I'm sorry I was out so late. It's just-"

"Dad, the only thing that matters is that your ok." I smiled.

"Ok." He smiled.

"Dad." Sam walked in and he put the coffees down.

"Hi Sammy." Sam went to the other side of my dad.

"You feeling ok?" Sam asked.

"I'll be fine." He assured Sam, "Why aren't you two in school?"

"Dad, you're kidding right? Family first." I told him.

"I'm not going anywhere. You guys know that."

"That's what mom said." Sam looked down then at me.

"I am not leaving you guys. Not again." He smiled at both Sam and I. I nodded a bit, "Wait, did you guys look for me?" He asked.

"Not exactly." Sam said.

"What do you mean?"

"Sam didn't go." I told him.

"You went alone?" He worried.

"No, I called for help."

"The police helped?"

"No." I shook my head.

"Then-"

"Someone else is here to visit." A nurse knocked on the door.

"Who?" My dad questioned.

"His name is Alaric Saltzman." The nurse replied. Alaric? Is that Rick's real first name?

"Alaric? I know that name." My dad replied.

"Can he come in?" The nurse wondered.

"Yes." My dad was a bit confused because he was trying to remember who Rick was. The nurse stepped aside and let Rick in.

"Hello Chris." Rick grinned.

"Alaric?" He questioned then looked at Sam and I, "Kids can I talk to him alone?"

"Yeah." Sam nodded and we both got up. Rick was still standing at the door. Sam walked passed him. I looked at Rick and mouthed 'Why are you here?' as I walked towards him.

"Give me a minute." Rick whispered as I walked passed him and left the room. Rick closed the door. I walked over to Sam.

"Why is Rick here?" Sam asked.

"I don't know?"

"We told him to go to work."

"Yeah I know that." It actually started to annoy me that Rick is here. I looked towards the room then back at Sam. His eyes were squinted and he seems like he's listening in, "Sam?" I questioned him.

"I can hear them talking but it's fuzzy. I can't really understand." Sam said. The room door opened and Sam and I looked over. Rick looked at us and gestured us to come in. Sam and I looked at each other then headed in. Rick closed the door behind us. Sam and I looked over at our dad.
