Unwanted

Is he alive or not

Waking up to a bright light in my eye's momentarily makes me think I've died and gone to heaven that is until a male voice draws my attention in his direction.

"Ah you're awake. excellent, can you tell me your name?" The middle aged man in a lab coat asks.

"Kierra Downs"

The memory of the car flipping in the air hits me like a tidal wave. Mom, Dad and Dylan. Oh god

"My family? Are they okay?" They have to be okay if I'm alive then so are they.

" I'm sorry to be the barer of bad news but they were all pronounced dead on the scene. I believe the only reason you are alive Kierra is due to being thrown from the car before the explosion."

Explosion? I don't remember there being one . Oh God my whole family is gone. Why the hell did I have to survive? Their gone, they left me alone.

"We have called your father and he is on his way here from Virginia."

"Wait so my dad is alive? Why is he there? Shit how long have I've been knocked out? " I fire questions to the man that I'm assuming is the doctor. He said my family didn't make it, but yet he called my dad. Maybe he's in the wrong patients room and mom and Dylan are in another room or café. Wishful thinking I know, but I take a quick assessment of myself and all my limbs work. I don't see and bandages so if I'm okay then they could be too.

"Calm down, yes Mr. Blackfoot is alive and is on his way."

"But doctor" I pause realizing I didn't catch his name. Taking a look at his badge. "Croons my father is Dale Downs. He was driving the car, the same car I was in. The one you said exploded! I don't know a Blackfoot, so is my father alive or not?"  The last bit coming out in a growl surprising not only Dr. Croons but me as well .

Dr. Croons sucks in a sharp breath seemingly to try and find the words for such a hostile patient that I'm sure he's used to dealing with.

"Kierra your mother, brother and step father unfortunately did not survive the crash. Your mother had your biological father's contact information down in the event that anything ever happen to her. So yes your father Devin Blackfoot is on his way." Dr. Croons fires back at me like he's scolding a child.

His words have me opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. My father, no strike that my sperm donor is on his way here to California. A man that I have never met. A man that didn't want anything to do with me is coming for me?

"Kiki baby, hey your awake. How do you feel?" Liam asks grabbing my attention. So lost in this, this Blackfoot shit I didn't even notice him come in.

" You do remember me don't you?" The look of horror on his god like face is almost enough to make me laugh. ALMOST.

" Yes I remember you Liam." Relief washes over his face.

Liam stands at a amazing 6'0 and the body of a star linebacker which he is. His baby blue eyes is what caught my attention in the first place though. They drew me in at first glance. He was a bully in high school and I hated that about him but I also understood everyone has a roll they need to play to get to who they are meant to be.

" I'll give the two of you some time" the doc says already half way out the door. So much for bedside manners.

"Baby I'm so sorry about your family. How are you feeling?"

"Liam how long was I out for?" That's all I need to know. If I was thrown from the car and I have no visible injuries and aside being momentarily loss for words on the Blackfoot conversation I'm pretty coherent, so I can only imagine the healing time that took.

"Kiki you've only been asleep for two days."

"What. How?" Liam looks like he doesn't understand what I am asking. "How am I alive or at the very least not banged up?" I say with tears in my eyes, but I can't cry cause mom's scolding voice rings in my ear ' We don't cry Kierra cause crying is weakness and we are NOT weak'.

I figured growing up in the system made her think like that. She never talked about her time bouncing from home to home just saying ' she fought to never allow me to see and do what she had to' and she did amazing at it. She became one of the youngest executive accountants at her firm allowing my father to stay at home to live out his dream of being a painter.

" A miracle, one that I am very thankful for baby." Liam says while placing a kiss to my cheek.

" Dad is on his way to see you. He said you can come and stay with us until you graduate at least."

" She will be coming home with me." A strong and very pissed off voice sounds out.
