I was sitting in my classroom looking out the window. I really was not paying attention to what my teacher was saying. Today marks the day of the accident. The day I lost both my parents. My dad has been in a coma since the accident.
I have been living with Captain Maldonado since they can't find my mother. Sadly I think she was killed but there is no proof.
Everyday for the past 2 years I visited my dad in the hospital. I hate seeing him like this but he is getting better. He lost his leg so they are going to give him a synthetic leg.
I think it looks cool but I know my dad will not like it.
I can't believe he has been in a coma for 2 years I remember it like it was yesterday.
(Flashback)
I was in class when it happened. I was a freshman at the time. We were taking a test when a MX bursted in.
"Is Ciara Kennex here?" he asked. I stood up. "Yes I am here." I said worried. "Please come with me." he said leaving the room. I grabbed my bag and ran after him.
"Hey! Wait what is going on?" I asked the MX. "Your father was injured while on duty. I am taking you to the crime scene." he said opening the car door for me.
The ride there was quiet. My heart was pounding out of my chest. When we got there I gasped. It looked like someone blew up the place. I jumped out of the car and ran into the crime scene.
"Daddy!" I yelled trying to find my dad. I was looking around when I started to see alot of dead officers. My eyes started to water. I turned around and saw my dads partner...dead.
The tears started to fall down my face. Someone taped me on the shoulder. It was Detective Stahl.
"Where is my dad?" I asked her with a shaky voice. Her eyes started to water as she showed me where he was. I gasped when I saw my dad on the stretcher. His leg was gone and he looked really beaten up.
I ran to him and cried "Daddy! Daddy wake up! You have to be ok! You have to be..." I started to sob into my dads chest.
(Flashback over)
"Ciara, Ciara, Ciara Kennex!" my teacher yelled. "Huh yes." I asked. "You are going home. A note was sent from the office for you." she said sending the note to my school pad.
I looked at the note. My friend Cathy looked at the note as well. "Why do you think Captain is picking you up early?" she asked. "I don't know." I said grabbing my backpack.
I walked down the hall and went into the office. Maldonado was siting down in the office when I walked in. When she saw me she stood up and smiled. "Hi Maldonado why are you picking me up so early?" I asked her.
"He's awake Ciara." she said with a smile. My eyes went wide. "Lets go." I said following her out of the office.
30 minutes later
We made it to the hospital. We walked in and staff looked up and smiled at me. We went into the elevator and I started to get nervous.
The elevator opened and I walked to his room. A nurse was standing outside waiting for me.
"Ciara Kennex?" she asked. "Yes I am." I responded. "Before you go in I wanted to tell you something." the nurse said. "Well what is it?" I asked her ready to just push her out of my way to see my dad. "When he woke up the first thing he said was your name. He started to ask where you were." she said with a smile.
I smiled as she stepped aside and opened the door. I slowly walked in and looked at my dad. His eyes were wide opened but he looked a lil tired.
I walked over to his bedside. His eyes followed me the whole time.
"Dad..." I said shyly. A tear rolled down his face and he smiled. "Hi Ciara." he said. He stretched his arm out to me for a hug. I started to cry and I ran into his arms and hugged him. "Hey why you crying bullet?" he asked me. I chuckled when he said bullet. His nickname for me. He is the only person that calls me that.
"I missed you so much." I said wiping my eyes. "I missed you too Ciara." he looked at me and smiled. "You are so big. How old are you?" he asked me. "I'm 16 now dad." I said with a smile.
"Woah." he said. "Where is your mom?" he asked. I lowered my head sadly.
"We can't find her John." Maldonado said walking into the room. "She went missing the day of the ambush."
"Who else made it?" my dad asked. "You're the only one that made it out alive." I said sadly. My dad had a hard time believing the bad news. He blamed himself for that incident.
I went outside so my dad and Maldonado could talk. I was ok with it. I am just happy that I have my dad back.
