Erratic: Chapter 10: Recovery

||MACY||

It has been 1 week and 2 days since the accident and my Dad still hasn't woken up. It has also been 1 week and 2 days since I last went to school. I couldn't bring myself to go to school thinking that my Dad is laying down on a hospital bed with the possibility that he'd wake up while I'm school, I also refuse to go since my panic attacks has been constantly attacking me ever since the car accident and lastly, I want to be with my Mum whenever she needs me.

Bree, Kandice and Lilliane had visited my Dad as soon as possible. Each of our dads are like our second, third and fourth dad. Mine, Bree's, Kandice's and Lilliane's Dad treats us like we are one of their daughters and the same thing applies to our Mums. Two days later, Beau, Theo, Samantha and Jade visited along with Bree, Lilliane and Kandice once again.

It's currently around 1:47pm, my Mum and I haven't had lunch yet so I quickly told my Mum that I'm going to go to the canteen so that I could grab us two (since Max is at school and Macky is at college) some lunch and then I went off to my destination. The only food that is worthy to be called as our lunch in the cafe were the sandwiches. I grabbed the BLT sandwich for my Mum and a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich for myself; I also got two bottles of water. I went to the counter and paid for the food and beverage and made my way back to my Dad’s room. I opened the door and saw the happiest sight in my life. 

MY DAD'S AWAKE!!!! I quickly dropped all of the stuff that I bought on a table and then rushed off to hug my Dad. My Mum was just there smiling, for the first time in forever; I could finally see her smile again. I gave my Dad a tight hug but then he groaned. I quickly pulled back not wanting him to get hurt once again. His wounds have healed and stuff so he looks like nothing happened to him and is just laying on the bed with an IV stuck in him. 

"How long have you been awake?" I asked.

"Just about 5 minutes? I think." My Dad answered, I wasn't even here when he woke up... At least he's awake now though.

"Do you know what happened Dad?" I asked hesitantly, I wasn't sure if I could ask him that or not cause he might've been traumatized by the accident but it kind of just suddenly spilled out.

"I actually don't.. One minute I was just driving home and then suddenly BAM! Something hit my car." He stated, so it was the other driver's fault... I wonder if he/she's alright. I hope he/she is. Even though it’s their fault, no one wants to hear that their family member died.

Soon, Max and Macky came back from school and college and they brought some food for us. I forgot to eat my sandwich so I didn't notice how hungry I was until my siblings showed us the foods that they brought with them. I ate my sandwich and watched as my Mum fed Dad his soup. He didn't eat for days and he's just having soup!?! If I didn't eat for days I'll probably eat anything that I could find. Soup is the typical kind of food that sick people eats though.

“When is Dad allowed to go home?” Max asked our Mum.

“Well the doctor said that since his wounds are all healed up, he could go tomorrow because they wanted to be sure that your Dad is fine. By the way, Macy, you already missed a lot of your lectures in school, you have to go back to school tomorrow so you have to go home with your brothers.” Mum told us.

“But-“

“No buts… I’ll be fine here with your Dad Macy, by the time you get home from school, your Dad and I will probably be home already." Mum argued.

"Listen to your Mum Macy." I playfully pouted at both of them. This is such a rare occasion, Mum and Dad never agrees with the other, this rarely happens. They always fight and stuff, I guess this accident brought them closer...
