Dave POV

I got out of bed with my mind racing I had no idea what I was going to walk into at the hospital my heart was beating so fast Tia turned in her sleep and her eyes finally opened

Tia- where you going, baby

Me- I just got a call from the hospital they say I need to get there now

She got out the bed quick

Tia - omg who is the hospital

Me- I don't know yet mamas

Tia- I'm coming with you

Me- thank you let me tell Corey we about to leave

Tia- okay

She began getting dressed and I made my way to the third floor to wake up Corey I knock on his door and he already woke, playing the game and Mia was here as well

Me- Tia and I gotta run somewhere

Corey- you good

Me- I'll let you know

Mia- drive safe

I left out and went to grab my Audi keys Tia was already waiting for me at the door

Me- you ready

Tia- yeah let's go

We got in the car and drove in silence and held hands we got out and rushed inside I honestly had no clue who I should ask for or what I should do cause I didn't know who was hurt

I walked to the reception desk

Me- hello my name is David East I got a call saying I need to get down here

Randy was the name on her name tag- yes you can wait in block D the doctor will be out to talk to you

Tia- okay thank you

We both said nothing I guess we were anxious to see who was in here

After three hours of us waiting, a doctor finally came out

Dr- David East

Tia and I both stood up

Me- that's me

Dr- I'm Dr. west

Me- what's going on doc

Dr. West- your father was shot several times we were able to remove most of the bullets there is still one right by his heart and in his back, he bleeds really bad I'm sorry to say he is not going to last too much longer he is barely conscious right now he holding on for you he told us to beg to get you here prepare yourself he is in a great deal of pain and he is in a bad condition

Tia- baby I will be right here when you come out okay

I nodded my head everything just happened so fast Manny went after him before I even had a chance to deal with it and a part of me started to feel guilty because I didn't set the time aside for him when he came and asked me for help

I walked in and took a deep breath before walking in

Seeing him like this hit something deep inside of me even after all he has done and hasn't done it's still that feeling that's my father

I walked to his bed as he turned his head and tried to smile

Dee- I knew you were gone come you always come

Ahem ahem

He was coughing badly

A tear fell from mine and his eyes
