My father simply ran away when I told him the news. I guess it is hard to decide between happiness and life. Well, I guess it isn't that hard. What do I tell my coach? "Sorry, my mom was in a car accident and now she's in a coma and we cant afford to keep her alive so choose someone else, I quit?" I guess I better find papa.
I went to find papa but I couldn't find him. I saw a group of nurses and asked if they had seen him."He came running past crying and mumbling to himself. He just pushed us out of the way and drove away." said a tall, older lady."He looked confused and sad." added a paitent in a wheelchair.
I groaned I can't be left here alone!
I stormed away, soaking up my own anger when I bumped into him. He was tall and had large muscules but he also had cute glasses. "Oh goodness! Sorry, I just-I...I...uhhh" he grabbed my shoulder."It's ok. Sick family member? My mom has breast cancer and my father died from Alzheimer's." I could see the tears in his eyes as he said it."My mother was in a car crash and slipped into a coma and we may not be able to keep her alive if I want to go to the Olympics.'' I knew it was weird to say the moment it slipped from my tounge."My name's Maddie by the way." I added. He smiled at me. More like grinned. "Wyatt." We exchanged phone numbers and after waiting a while, I walked home.
My house is not too far from the hospital, but it was 9:00 so I was a bit creeped out. I got home heated. I slammed the door on my way in. "Why did you leave me? I could've been kidnapped or been assaulted! What kind of father are you???!!!" I slammed my room door. I heard my father's sobs.
