Ariel's POV

I am terrified right now. I just watched my mom choke up blood and hyperventilate. I didn't know what to do so I called 911. I'm sitting in the waiting room. I asked if I could be in the room with her but they said no. I really want to cry, i'm so scared. But I have to be strong.

I look down the hallway and then I hear someone yell my name. U turn around and see my dad running towards me. "Ariel! Where is she?" "Why do you care?" He glared at me. "What room is she in?" "You can't go in her room" He groans but a doctor rushes towards us. "Are you the husband?" He nods. They're not fully divorced so I guess that's true. "Come with me" Wilmer looks at me and frowns. Why does he get to go? What if something happens and i'll never be able to talk to her again. This isn't fair. I should be able to see her! "That's not fair!" I sob. They both look at me. "I want to see my mom!" I scream. Everyone in the waiting room looks at me. "I'm sorry but only the husband can come" They continue walking. I sob harder and fall to my knees. I can't believe this. I'm the one who called 911. My mom doesn't even want to see him. Why is he even here?! I punch the wall and I feel someone wrap their arms around my waist from behind. They're big, strong arms. I turn around and my grandpa is hugging me tightly. "It's ok..." My grandma rushes in and so do my aunts. "T-They w-won't l-let me see m-mom" I sob. "Whose in there with her?" "D-Dad" I whimper. "What is he doing here?" Grandpa growls and I shrug. "I h-hate him" "Don't say that Ariel" Aunt Dallas glares at me. I run over and hug Maddie. "Hi Ariel" She giggles. "I missed you" "I missed you too"

Hours have passed by and i'm getting really impatient. I'm tired but I can't sleep. I just want to see my mom. "Ariel?" I look up and see my dad in the doorway. I glare at him and he sighs. "She wants to talk to you" "Is she ok?" he shrugs. "They're still doing some tests" I run past him. I run to her room and look in the window before going in. She's crying and holding her stomach. I open the door. Her face lights up when she sees me. I run to her and she wraps her arms around me. "Hi baby. I'm sorry you couldn't come earlier. I've been asking for you but they kept saying no" She helped me on the bed. "A-Are you o-ok?" She sighs. "We don't know yet baby girl" "I w-was s-scared" "I know.." She ran her fingers through my ratted hair. "I love you" She whispers. "I l-love you too" I bury my face in her neck. "Am I all over the internet yet?" She asks as if it's no big deal. "I haven't checked" I mumble. "Did you call your dad?" I shake my head. "Then how did he know I was here?" "I don't know" "I didn't want him here" I smile. I was right, I knew she didn't want him here. "Why are you smiling?" I look away. "I'm not" "Yes you are" She smirks. "Have you seen grandma or grandpa?" "Yeah, they left because Maddie was tired and because the doctors said only the husband can be here" She frowned. "Mom?" "Yeah?" "I don't want two of everything" She frowned and bit down on her lip. "I'm sorry.. I really don't want to do this but he cheated. It's for the best" I was about to answer but a doctor came in. "Mrs. Lovato?" "Yeah.." She stared at the doctor. "I need to speak to you alone" My mom kissed the top of my head as I jumped off the bed. "I love you" I whisper and she smiles. "I love you too" I left the room but pressed my ear to the door. "Mrs. Lovato... I am so sorry.. You have.. You have cancer"
