Stella's Father

The News

a/n~ this story is really sad so don't be alarmed💔💔

You were sitting there, in the waiting room, waiting, and waiting for either good or bad news. Until the nurse finally came out

"Ms. Poise?" The kind eyed nurse exclaimed to the waiting room

"That would be me" you said with a gloomy look on your face

"Oh alright then." The nurse said

"I'm nurse Katie, I'll be talking to you today"

"Can we..talk somewhere private?" Nurse Katie asked.

You knew whatever she had to tell you wouldn't be good

"I suppose, but I'm waiting for my mother. Can we wait for her first?" You wondered

"Of course darling. I'll wait right here" Nurse Katie had offered

10 minutes had passed and you had no sign of your mother and you were anxious to hear the news

"STELLA!!" You heard a familiar voice exclaim

(Side story, you and your father were at home until you got into a huge fight and you were acting up and your father had enough so he got up and was about to hit you, which he never had, until you screamed. He got up and got in his car and drove away. He got into a car accident and was rushed to the hospital. The paramedics got your address and picked you up while you were calling your mom. She was going to meet you at the hospital. You were 13 btw)

"Mom?!" You yelled

Your mother, Sue Poise, ran into the front doors of the hospital building

"Am I too late??" She asked

"No you're perfectly fine Mrs. Poise!" The nurse added

You all went into a dark, quiet room where Nurse Katie would tell you whether your father would live or not.

"Ladies, I'm so sorry, but your husband, father, wasn't able to make it." Nurse Katie said with despair in her voice

Those words crushed you into a million pieces. You and your mother were devastated.

"We did everything in our power to save him but his body was just too weak" she added on

"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" You screamed

"MY FATHER WAS NEVER TOO WEAK FOR ANYTHING! NEVER!!!" You shouted with voice cracks

You let tears roll down your face as you slowly pushed your way through the crowded hospital halls. You didn't even want to see him. You were so disappointed that he was "too weak" to live.

You went out to sit in the car and wait for your mom, as she wanted to see your father.

Tears just rolled, and rolled, and rolled down your face as you couldn't stop crying at the fact, you had lost your BEST FRIEND. You weren't even on good terms when he died. You two had just finished a horrible fight that with haunt you forever. The fact that you couldn't even say, "goodbye" or "I love you" one last time.

Shortly after about 15 minutes of waiting, your mother came out to the car with tears slowly rolling down her face.

"No, Stella," she said with a broken smile

"No more crying. Dad would want us to be strong" she said wiping tears away from her face, and yours.

As your mother drove you home that day, you wondered, "why him?! Why did MY FATHER have to be the one to die today?" You pushed the thoughts to the back of your mind and just looked out the window with a blank stare. Almost as if you didn't even feel anything.
