Chapter 2
After the three visitors left Laura's room, a few hours later. Laura decided to stay awake thinking about all the things that happened to her in the few hours since she had found her father.
"Mom, you always told me stories about my father, but now that I found him, I don't know what to do." She thought.
Just then Dixie decided to pay a visit to her and saw that she was troubled about something. Walking very slowly, she crossed to the bed and put her hand on Laura's shoulder. "Hey. Are you ok?"
Laura looked over at Dixie and said. "Yeah. I'm just thinking about my father. Do you know him well?"
Dixie looked at Laura and said. "I've known your father since he was training to be a paramedic. I consider him to be one of my closest friends. Why do you ask?"
"I was just curious because I don't know him that well yet. I only met him today."
Dixie just nodded and didn't really want to ask this question, but she knew that it needed to be asked so she said. "What happened to your Mom, Laura?"
Laura knew that this was going to be asked, so he looked into Dixie's eyes and said. "She died in a car crash. Her car was stopped on the railroad tracks and she couldn't get it started going again. You can guess what happened next."
Dixie took her hand and started to stroke Laura's hair. "I'm sorry for bringing the subject up. But I wanted to know, and I know that your father would want to know too."
Laura shook her head and started to shout. "My father left us before I was born, so he really doesn't care about what happened to my mom, or what is going to happen to me.
Dixie just shook her head and put the sedative into Laura's IV and then left the room, leaving Laura to fume about Johnny.
