Bella's pov
________
Soon after my dad took the beer and left my mom and Luke came in.
"can you watch Luke? I need to sleep. there's bottles in the fridge." without waiting for me to reply she hands me Luke and walks upstairs.
I stare at my brother "shit parents but I'll always be here for you."
I hold Luke with one arm , grab one of his bottles , his Binky and a container of cold pizza and Go the basement.
"No teacher I did not do my homework I had to watch my brother, that's s good excuse right?" I ask a baby who doesn't understand.
He laughs.
I end up falling asleep in the middle of feeding Luke and wake up three hours later to my mom screaming
"Dads back." I whisper to my brother. I grab his bottle and binky and my phone and take my brother into the closet where we hide. It's 11 pm.. God dad.
Luke starts to cry so I put the binky in his mouth as some one walks down stairs
"Bella?" My moms voice asks. I slow emerge from the darkness
"Your father was in s car crash. Drunk driving. He is in critical condition in the hospital."
Her words were knifes to my heart.
He's been satan these past few months.. but he's my dad.
"Can we go visit him? Is he dying!?" I ask
"I can't visit him. I couldn't bare it. You can visit him after school is you can get a ride." my mom says
"Okay"
She grabs Luke and goes back upstairs.
I sob myself into a dreamless sleep

The next morning when my alarm clock went off I got up and put a little more effort in my appearance than usual.
Well by that I mean I didn't "bum"
My mom drove me to school and I went to the band room.
Ian, Aj and Noah were there.
"BELLA!" Ian squeals.. he squealed
I walk over there, Noah side hugs me and Ian continues talking about Tyler Oakley.
Aj points to a wall,we all look over
"MY TUBA!" I scream.
I run to it and tear the case open, not one dent, perfect condition
I hug my cold sousaphone.
Sadly I have to break apart from my sosua to go to class.
I walk With Noah since we have 7 minuets
"My dad got in a car accident last night." I tell them
"Oh my god is he okay?" Noah asks
"Don't know." I reply
"Aw I'm sorry."
I then go into science to slave away in stupid experiments I'll never use in life.
****
(Study hall)
"Can we go to band again? " I ask as soon as Seth sits down next to me
"You wanna skip 6th period again?" Seth laughs
"My dad is in tbe hospital and I really wanna be with my tuba."
"Oh are you visiting him tonight?" Seth asks
"No my mom won't take me." I reply
"I'll take ya, since I was taking you home after band anyways. To band we go!!" We then walk to the band room.
Mr. Williams isn't in there so we got out our instruments and began practicing.
We skipped lunch but I went to sixth period, After band I met Seth at his car.
"Did Noah want to come?" Seth asks unlocking the car and we both get in (obviously putting our seat belts on...use your seat belt kids.)
"I didn't ask, me and you seem to be the two who talk about depressing things" I reply
"We are broken people." He replies starting the car
"Just fake a smile and live."
He begins driving
"How are you?" Seth asks
"Bad."
"Same. You should of called me last night to tell me, or were you sleeping?"
"I was asleep in fact I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare."

Once we get to the hospital me and seth walk to the front counter.
"We're hear to see my dad. Hank Vaughn." I tell the lady who is sitting behind the counter
She scrolls a bit on the computer before saying "sixth floor, room 40"
I follow seth into the elevator
"Want me to wait outside the room so you two can be alone?" He asks
"No it's fine." I reply.
Once the elevator stops we silently walk to room 40
"Should I knock?"
Instead of answering seth knocks for me
"Come in." my dads voice calls... not the mean alcoholic voice... my happy dad.
I open the door, my dad is in a hospital gown with wrap around his head and hooked up to an oxygen tank.
I stand frozen in the door way, trying not to cry.
"Shh baby it's okay." seth whispers.
He called me baby... weirdo.
I kneel down next to the bed
"Ohh is this your boyfriend?" My dad asks referring to seth
"No that's seth. he is just a friend."
"I'd support you two. it would be cute." my dad just said sella was cute...what?
"Dad" I laugh
"Oh right. I'm sorry Bella alcohol made me into an entirely different person. I busted up my head and broke two ribs and my blood cells are failing ."
"I love you. I forgive you."
