I sat in my room stressing over not being able to call Alan to the point I wore myself out and fell asleep. When I woke up, I saw two people, people I never thought I'd see again, not because we are strangers, but because those people were my parents, my mom looked worried, her blond hair all over and messy and my dad still had his brown hair gelled and forward,
"Mom, Dad...?" I said weakly because my pain killers weren't working as well anymore
"Honey!" My mom gasped as she cared
"Why are you here?" I said angrily
"The hospital called said you were attacked..."
"You never cared before..."I whispered under my breath forgetting my mom has super hearing like all moms
"Don't say that..." My mom replied standing up making the hospital blanket fall to the ground revealing a huge baby bump
"Honey, don't hurt yourself..." Dad said reaching out his hands, ready to catch my mom if she falls
"I won't, I won't," she said shooing his hand away
She walked over to me as I looked away, I couldn't believe after years my parents can show up as nothing happened, pregnant nonetheless, and I wasn't warned about anything? ya, no, fuck that, I would never be like them when I have kids.
"I have kicked myself since I left you alone in this god-awful town..." mom said forcing my chin up to look at her
"prove it!" I said in a low daring voice, yanking my chin out of her hands and taking one last glance at her, she looked stunned, as she should
My mom burst out into tears as she ran out of the hospital room, my dad gave me "the look" and ran out after her, I didn't care, but at the same time, was that a little much? I just wanted Alan by my side, but he was AWOL and I am stuck in a hospital, lucky to even be alive...
