<p>I got up and walked over to my sink, I heard Billie mutter to himself. I turned my head sideways, and he was twiddling his thumbs, and kind of shaking.</p>
<p>"Billie are you okay?"<p>
<p>"I love y- huh, yeah...I'm fine."</p>
<p>My eyes widened, I pretended not to hear him and returned with the new wet cloth. I dabbed his eye and examined it."Well, it should be better soon Billie."</p>
<p>"Thanks Dani", he said. I smiled at him. "You're a life saver."</p>
<p>I laughed, "No, not really. Just fixing you up. Oh and by the way how was your date with that girl...Kimberly was it?" He rolled his eyes. "That bad huh?"</p>
<p>He nodded, then walked to the front door and put on his shoes."Oh, Danielle. Before I forget, I need to talk to you later on."</p>
<p>"Y-yeah, me too. Did you say something while I was getting you a new cloth? Uhh, no, no I dont think so..." I slowly nodded, not completly happy with his answer." He opened the front door and just about walked out. He turned around and looked at me with his piercing green eyes.
"Billie I-I..uhmmm.." He seemed to know what I was talking about, he leaned in and kissed me on the cheek. He turned and went home. I stood there touching my cheek, then I smiled. I closed the door and locked it, then spun around to the phone ringing. I skipped over to the phone and very cheerfully answered it.
"Hello?" I could hear short breaths at the other end, sounded like the person was crying.</p>
<p>"Hunny, I'm coming home to get you and take you to the hospital." It was my mom. She was trying hard not to cry on the other line.</p>
<p>"M-mom what happened!?" I was really starting to get worried. It could be anyone that I knew that could be hurt.</p>
<p>"Your father was hit by a truck dear, he's not in good condition. I'm coming home to get you."</p> <p>I dropped the phone from shock, tears swelled up in my eyes. I started shaking, I pinched myself, hoping this was all a dream. <p>I sat on the couch crying my eyes out, I didn't even bother to call anyone, or hang up the phone.</p> <p>All of a sudden the door opened and in walked my mother. Her face was all read and her eyes were puffy and wet from crying. She dropped her stuff and we ran into each other and hugged one another. She rubbed my back and helped me get on my shoes. We finally got into the car and hurriedly drove to the hospital.</p>

<p>I kneeled beside my dads bed and held his hand, tears still pouring down my face. "Dad please don't go.." I whispered. He turned his head and looked at me and smiled.</p>
<p>"If I do go, it is my time. And remember this Danielle, I will always be in your heart, I will watch over you everyday, and I will always love you, I will never forget you." I buried my head in his arm and cried. He weakly lifted his hand and lifted my head up.</p>
<p>"Hunny, can I speak with your mother?"</p>
<p>I nodded, wiping tears from my eyes. I let my mom go into the room and I sat outside on the chairs out there.</p> <p>I couldn't believe this was happening, my dad was the only thing I truly cared about and loved in the world, and he could be gone forever soon.</p> <p>The doctors walked into the room and checked his status. When they walked out I stopped one of the doctors what was going on.</p>
<p>"I'm afraid he wont last much longer, I'm terribly sorry."</p>
<p>It felt as if I was already dying, but slowly and painfully, only the pain wont go away. My life is disappearing.</p> <p>I walked into the room trying to calm myself down, but it was hard to look at him. I could hardly tell it was him, the crash changed his life.</p> <p>My mom sat behind me and I grabbed onto my dads hand and prayed; prayed that he would live a little longer.</p><p>My dad, John, opened his eyes and pulled me up. He motioned for me to ly beside him. I put my ear to his chest and listened to his heart beat, it seemed to scream for help. The beats were never on time. I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes, hoping for a miracal to happen. I drifted off into a dream, so painful.</p> <p>John's heart started to beat faster and faster, doctors rushed into the room and my mom pulled me off of the bed. I screamed for him. Closing my eyes and clenching my fists I prayed for the worst not to happen.</p> <p>I woke up to hear no steady beeping machine, the machine was telling us he was dieing. I jumped out of his bed and doctors came rushing into the room. Me and my mom grabbed onto each other crying our eyes out. I squeezed my eyes shut. When I didn't hear anymore commotion comming from the doctors, I opened my eyes wide.</p> <p>They bowed their heads and walked out of the room. I shook my head, trying not to believe what was happening, I was shaking from what I knew was the truth. I couldn't handle it anymore, I burst out into loud sobs, tears streamed down my face.I ran over to my dad and grabbed his hand. I put my ear up to his chest and heard nothing.</p> <p>Out of the corner of my eye I saw a doctor pull my mom off to the side to talk to her. All of a sudden I could hear her break down into tears.</p> <p>I sat on his bed, rubbing his hand. I felt empty and broken inside. It was strange not to hear his soft heart beating in my ear, to hear his voice echoing with life, to see his beautiful brown eyes just once more. I knew I couldn't hide from the truth, but I would do my best to pretend I could. There was no more tears to cry for him, my eyes were as dry as sand. As I looked into his pale face I brushed his hair out of his eyes. It was strange to see him lying there, so pale and stiff, no life left inside of him. I turned around and faced my mom, she wasn't crying either, her eyes were dry, yet her face was wet and her eyes were red and puffy. We hugged each other, and glanced at my lifeless father from time to time.</p>
<p>"I-I can't believe he's gone..." I felt my moms head nodd. </p><p>"Me neither. Your father was a great man, but he's in a better place now." I knew what my mom said was true, but I never would have wanted it to be this way.</p>
<p>I pulled away from my mom and sat beside my pale father, I kissed him on the forehead, and a wave of shock was sent through my body. I broke down into tears and grabbed onto my father and hugged him. I didn't care that he was cold, all I cared was that he wasn't with us anymore, and never will be.</p>
<p>The doctors finally got us out of the room. I said my last minute good bye's and we headed out the door. As my mom drove home, I felt no need for life anymore, untill I thought of Billie. That really made me cry, the only man I could love now was Billie, but yet he wasn't my father.</p> <p>Sitting back, I remembered all the good memories me and my dad had together, from the age of 5 to 12. I never did get to say good bye to my dad.</p> <p>Now my mom would have to get a job, no parent would be home after school everyday anymore to greet me, no father to bring in the family's income. It was just me and my mom now, and somehow we had to get through this together, it's going to take some time, but it's a fact of life.</p>
<p>"Billie are you okay?"<p>
<p>"I love y- huh, yeah...I'm fine."</p>
<p>My eyes widened, I pretended not to hear him and returned with the new wet cloth. I dabbed his eye and examined it."Well, it should be better soon Billie."</p>
