tangled in the great escape. (pierce the veil)

chapter 8

iris was still passed out. it had been a day, why hast she woken up yet? I've been sitting next to her refusing to leave her side and I've barely sleept. what if she woke up and I wasn't there? I couldn't do that to her again. tony and jaime and the rest of the crew got a hotel close to the hospital and stayed there while mike slept on the couch.

  I held iris' hand while looking at the ground with tears threatening to spill.

I felt iris squeeze my hand and I looked up to see iris opening her eyes.

"d-daddy"

iris pov

  "d-daddy" I said while opening my eyes. where am I? oh, yea.. I then remembered what happened in the dressing room at the concert. and now I'm in a hospital great.

"oh my god iris your up. your ok" dad said while putting me in a bone crushing hug which hurt a lot. I let out a whimper and he pulled back. with tears streaming down his face.

"are you ok? do you need anything?"

"m-my head h-hurts" wow I sound horrible

"I'll call a doctor" he said while pressing the nurse button on the bed. soon enough a nurse came in.

"oh your finally up. how are you feeling?" she said with a fake smile.

"my head h-hurts"

"ok I'll be back with something for you" I nodded and she left. I looked at dad to find him staring at me with a guilty look. I couldn't look at him knowing how much he must hate me right now so I looked at my hands.

"iris. I'm so sorry, about everything. I feel horrible I didn't see how hurt you were. I know that you must hate me right now but please just know that I'm incredibly sorry. I love you so much. I could never loose you" he said with tears streaming down his face. I didn't expect him dot say that at all.

"daddy, I-I'm sorry"

"don't you dare be sorry for anything. your gonna be ok I promise"

just then the nurse walked in with a doctor. she gave me some pills and left leaving the doctor.

"well Mrs. Fuentes, after the accident you have a concussion and a broken nose along with some stitches near your eye so you may have some headaches alone with some eye aches. we would like to keep you overnight one more night just to make sure your ok. now that you know all of that is there anything else I can get you?" I shook my head no

"alright then, a nurse will come in here about every hour or two to see how your doing. if you need anything you can press this button" he said while showing me a cord with a button on it and then left.

I looked down at my hands again seeing all my scars. I tried to hide them under the blanket but dad grabbed my hand.

"jaime told me everything, you don't have to hide anything anymore"

well I guess I should have expected that

"I know. its just that I don't like looking at them. every scar has a different story and everytime I look at them I remember all the things I wanted to forget"

"like what?"

"like mom dying. everyone forgetting about me. not caring about me. the bullying. all of the mean things that they said. the hate I'm getting. and being alone"

"but your not alone-"

"but I feel alone. you can't say I have you when your not even there for me" I could feel the tears running down my face. I felt so weak crying like that. I could feel warm arms wrap around me.

"I-I'm s-sorry I-I snapped at you"

"hey, its ok, its gonna be ok. I'm sorry too. I should have been there for you more. I should have noticed something wrong but I didn't and instead I hurt you. I-I'm so s-sorry iris"

'look what you've done. you made your dad cry again'

"dad?"

"yea?"

"I love you" he started crying even more. I could tell because there was a pause and I could hear him.

"I love you too iris. more than you could ever know" he said while stroking my hair. it felt nice to actually have someone be there for me for once.

"oh my god iris your awake!" mike said waking up from his nap ruining my special moment of happiness.

thanks mike

he came over and knelt next to the bed giving me a hug when the rest if the guys walked in. they all responded with the same reaction mike did.

"hey guys. yes I'm up what gave it away?" I said sarcastically. they all laughed. I looked over at jaime who was looking at my arms then looked back at me with a guilty look.

"jaime its ok. he had to find out sooner or later" I said knowing why he looked so guilty. he came over and gave me a hug.

"I'm sorry"

"its fine it wasn't your fault" soon enough I was in the middle if a group hug. once they all pulled away I could see that they all had the same look on their face.

sadness

they were either looking at the floor or my scars.

"ok stop looking so guilty. you did nothing wrong. yes I have scars that doesn't mean you have to look at them and say sorry all the time. can we just forget about it and move on and have a conversation that doesn't involve anything sad?" I said. whoa that came out of my mouth.

"hey good for you kid finally standing up for yourself" mike said. looking proud.

"umm thanks I guess"

"so, are there any hot nurses around here?" jaime said. we all laughed.

"no there all bitches! what's up with that?"I replied with.

"hey language" dad said pointing his finger at me trying to act all father-like which just ended up making me laugh.

"what you think I'm not serious?" he said acting hurt

"I'm just not used to you acting like a dad so I didn't really think you ment it" I said with my hands up making

"ugh. whatever. teens these days"

"hey I heard that!!"

"you were supposed to!"

"whoa hold da phone guise. a cat fight is about to go down!" mike said

"nice white girl voice" I said

"hey!" we just continued to joke around for a while until I fell asleep yet again.
