A/N: I finally did it!!! Sequel to And Then There Was Hope!!1
Chapter One
Once, dad stuck me in a tree.
I asked him to, but then I sort of got left. You see, he watched me for a while as I swung happily on the tree's sturdy branches. He stood under me, making sure I wouldn't fall, and then stepped back and sat on the bench in the park. After a few minutes he fainted I started to cry, and a woman that was there called for an ambulance and they took him in it. But no one got me down. About an hour later my mom came looking for us, found me, and brought me home.
I think I was six then. He ended up okay, but now well, let's just say no one really knows how he is. He keeps getting sick. It's crazy. He'll be fine one minute and the next he's on the ground. It scares me. He's always been my rock.
My mom tries to hide it; pretend that it's not happening. She's one of my best friends and we tell each other everything, but she can't accept this. She won't admit it to me, Joanne, Maureen, even Angel.
Dad's in the hospital again, and it looks pretty bad. I was at the hospital with everyone else, but I just needed to be alone so I came here. Now I just sit here taking in the cold October air as my hair blows in the wind. I straddle the branch and lean back. I close my eyes, spread out my arms, and wait for someone to come get me.
A/N: Sorry this is so short. I don't have a lot of time lately and I kinda wanted to leave the first chappie at that. Please review!!!!!!!!
