Pop's POV

Mason had run out of the house in such a hurry. I wonder what's up. Oh well. I just shrugged it off and went to watch some TV.

Man I wish that kid would take it easy on me. I was doing okay with things. Tex is a teenager he needs some freedom. And so what if he got his ear pierced. He could be doing drugs or something like that. I think I was doing better by him by letting him do what he wants so he won't feel held back and then go rebel. Meh, Mace is just too worried about everything. It was no big deal.

It was halfway through some western comedy movie when the phone rang. I reached over not taking my eyes from the TV.

"Hello?" I said, still focusing on the television.

"Hey Pop." A voice came from the other end.

"Mace?" I asked finally looking away from the TV because it was a commercial.

"Yeah it's me pop."

"What's up?" I asked.

"I'm at the hospital." That was kind of a shock.

"Are you okay Mace?" He didn't sound hurt but you never know.

"Yeah, I'm fine. But you gotta come down here Pop." I was right in the middle of the movie, and it was really good.

"Well can it wait Mace? I'm kinda busy right now. And seeing as you're not hurt and all." The movie had come back from commercial and I refocused my attention on it.

"Pop, it's Tex that's hurt."

"Oh. Is it bad?" I know I said this with less enthusiasm in my voice then when I asked about Mason. I really didn't mean for it to come out that way. Its just Mason is my son. Tex isn't. But I still don't wanna see the kid get hurt.

"Ya pop, it's really bad. Would you just get down here?" He sounded annoyed. So I picked up the remote and turned off the TV.

"Yeah, alright I'm coming." So we both hung up and I grabbed my keys and headed out to the pick up. I started making my way to the hospital with music blaring.

I pulled in and parked. I had no idea where to go so I stopped at the desk at the front. The lady was typing on the computer. She then turned and noticed me. "May I help you?"

"I'm looking for Tex McCormick."

She typed into her computer. "Ah yes. He's on the fourth floor room 404."

"Well thanks." I started walking away.

I heard her call from behind me. "But sir, only family is allowed right now it says."

"Alright thanks." I replied walking to the elevators. Once inside I pushed the number 4 and waited for the doors to open. Finally there was a ding and they opened and I walked out. Directly in front of me was a sign that said CRITICAL WARD. That didn't sound good. I kept walking, room 402, 403, when I got to room 404 I saw Mason and a doctor sitting outside the room.

I walked over and I heard Mason. "Hey pop." I just smiled and nodded.

The doctor now spoke up. "Mr. McCormick, we've been trying to get a hold of you for awhile. I'm sorry."

I nodded. "Its okay doc. I wasn't home. Listen is he going to be okay?"

The doc took a minute then answered. "Well, I'll be honest with you. There's a chance it could go either way. There's a good chance he'll pull through, but there's also a chance." And he just drifted off.

Sorry that's it! I have to go now, but if u guys have any ideas please leave them in a review or email me at Terran_Blatenzuk@hotmail.com thanks guys. I'll try and update soon
