Chad Dylan Cooper was happily married to Michelle Cooper. They had a five year old daughter. Her name was Annabel. She was starting kindergarten this year. It is August-the end of August. Michelle works out of town a lot. Now she is in New York. She should be coming home tomorrow.

Chad was sitting on the couch, watching an episode of Pawn Stars, while Annabel was sitting at the computer desk. The phone started to ring. Chad grabbed it, and pressed the talk button. "Hello?"

"Is this the Cooper residence?" A man asked.

"Yes it is. Who is this?" Chad asked.

"I am calling from New York Hospital on third street." the man explained.

"Okay… is everything okay?" Chad asked. Annabel turned around to face Chad on her chair. He told her to continue with what she was doing silently.

"Your wife… she got into a car accident last night. A drunk driver ran a red light, and hit her. Her chauffer was driving her to the hotel after a long night at work, and the drunk driver hit the car right where your wife was sitting. She isn't dead, but she isn't doing well. Would it be too much for you and your daughter to come up to New York as soon as you can? Just in case she doesn't make the transportation back to Hollywood." The man explained.

Chad was in shock. But he had to be calm, for Annabel's sake. She couldn't know anything was wrong. She would go crazy. "Yeah. We will come there as soon as we can. Thank you for informing me," Chad said.

"Your welcome." the man disconnected the call. Chad looked at his daughter who was making a picture on the computer. He walked up to her.

"Who was that daddy?" Annabel asked.

"Oh, it was someone in New York. They want us to come there as soon as we can. Can you get off the computer so daddy can book a flight for today?" Chad asked.

Annabel nodded, and saved her picture, then got off the computer. She walked to the couch, and changed the channel to Tree house. Chad clicked the internet button, and waited impatiently for it to load. When it did, he googled, 'Plane Rides to New York' He waited for it to load again. When a whole bunch of links came up, he clicked the first one. There was a flight to New York today. In a couple hours. He booked it for two, then turned off the TV. He went into Annabel's room and started packing her clothes, and everything else. Then he went to his own room, and packed a couple outfits for himself.

When he was done that, he walked back out to the living room with the suitcases. "Honey," Chad said, to get Annabel's attention. She looked at him.

"Why do you have suitcases?" She asked.

"Cause we have to leave, we are going to New York, remember?" Chad asked. He pulled Annabel off of the couch.

"But I don't wanna leave." Annabel whined.

"Sweetie, we have to. I am sorry, but it is important. Come on, lets go." Chad told her, grabbing her hand and walked out of the house locking before he left.

Chad and Annabel got to the airport, just as they were announcing it was time to board the plane. Chad and Annabel walked down the isle, he sat down at the window seat, and Annabel sat down beside him. Then a girl with brown hair walked down the isle and quickly sat down beside Annabel. Chad didn't say anything to her, and she didn't say anything to him.

Chad looked at Annabel and said, "Sweetie, this is a six hour flight. And you cant get up, unless you need to go to the bathroom, okay?"

"Okay daddy." Annabel said. "Do I have anything to play with while I am here?"

"Yeah, I brought you a couple of books." Chad explained, handing his daughter books that she liked to read. Annabel started to read, as the plane took off.

Chad sat for a while, just watching outside the plane as it flew. He looked at the clouds, everything he could see being up as high as he was. But after three hours of being on the plane, he looked at Annabel again. "Annabel honey, are you tired?" He asked.

"Yeah." Annabel answered back simply.

"Wanna take a nap for the rest of the flight?" Chad asked.

"Yeah." Annabel answered.

"Okay, give me your book, and go to sleep." Chad said taking the book out of Annabel's grasp, and she closed her small little eyes to sleep. Chad then closed his eyes too, and fell to sleep.

As he slept, he felt someone shaking his shoulder. He opened his eyes, but he saw Michelle. "Michelle? Is that really you?" Chad asked.

"No." She answered.

"What?" Chad asked confused.

"I am in your dream, Chad." Michelle said. "You're dreaming about me."

"Ohh," Chad answered back. "Please don't die on me honey." Chad said vulnerably.

"If I die, I died for a reason." Michelle said.

"But, you don't know how hard it would be on me. And what about Michelle? How would I tell her?" Chad asked, a single tear fell down his cheek.

"Chad, you are a smart, independent person. You don't need me to tell Annabel. You never really needed me. You took care of Annabel on your own. For the longest time I wasn't even there. It was all you. Don't cry. You can do this on your own. You don't need me. You can do this. You will always be in my heart, I will never forget about you." Michelle told him.

"But how would I tell her? She loves you." Chad told Michelle.

"She loves you more. She spends more time with you. She will understand, she is our daughter. She can take any kind of pain, trust me." Michelle said.

Chad opened his eyes. The intercom came on telling everyone to buckle their seatbelts. Chad woke Annabel, and buckled her seat belt for her, then buckled his own. He prepared for seeing Michelle. When the plane landed, he took Annabel off of the plane, and grabbed their luggage before walking out of the airport. He found a Taxi parked on the side of the street, and he got in it. He told the driver where to drive them, and closed the door.

When the driver parked at the curb of the hospital, Chad and Annabel got out. Chad paid the man, and took Annabel into the hospital. He went to the front desk, and said the lady behind the desk, "Where is the day center? I read that this hospital had a day center.." Chad explained.

"Is over that corner, sir." the lady said pointing to the corner.

"Thank you." Chad said, then took Annabel to the day center. He walked up to the man behind the desk.

"How can I help you?" the man asked, shifting his gaze to Chad and Annabel.

"I would like to register my daughter for daycare, for just today." Chad said.

"Okay, you can put her down, and she can go play while you register her." The man said. Chad put Annabel down, and she ran to the play center.

After Chad finished registering Annabel he went back to the front office. The same lady was sitting at the desk.

"How may I help you, again?" She asked.

"Where is Michelle Cooper's room? I am her husband." Chad explained.

"Room 324." The lady said. Chad walked to the elevator, and pushed the three. He walked around level three until he found room 324. He opened the door, and walked in. He couldn't believe how horrible his wife looked right now.
