When you don't really have parents you learn to get over things easily. I mean when my mother wasn't absent, she was drunk or high or hung over. She made me believe I ruined her life. But Ty and her were the ones who didn't use a condom… so yeah I may be an accident. But it is NOT my fault I was born. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't hear what Ty was saying, but the girl who looked to be about my age and the toddler walked inside. And then.. All eyes on me. I saw Ty look over at Amy. Desperation in his eyes. "U-um guys. T-this is Em-emery W-W-Whinefeld" She stuttered out it was clearly painful for her. "S-she's Ty's daughter." Everyone's jaws dropped.
Ty's POV
It wasn't between Amy telling the group about Emery and Tim slamming me into the wall behind us. "I… Ty.. I… can't be… WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?" he screamed my back still against the wall. My feet no longer on the porch beneath me. "I-I guess I wasn't. Tim- You know that I-I've made some mistakes in the past. And look we don't even know for sure she's my kid. We still want a paternity test" and with that he dropped me. "Let's f*****g go… now."
"Well now we wait." Jack said, calmly. He looked down at Emery remorse in his eyes and blurted out "So you're mother passed away recently… Where have you been staying?" Emery looked up at him emotionlessly. "Um… I… I… I've just been staying wherever.. every night I found a new place." Jack looked at her even more remorse and confusion in his eyes "What do you mean wherever?" everyone was confused at this point including me.
Emery's POV
Jack looked at my questioningly… I felt bad lying to them all like this. Even though I've only known Ty for the day… I feel like I can trust him. I don't know why I just can't lie to them! "What do you mean wherever?" he asked. "Look I can't do this. I don't know why I did that stupid f*****g DNA test and go ahead knock your damn selves out with the results. But I don't need a family. Ty guilted me into this s**t but I don't want to do this. I'm fine on my own. I don't care if I'm only 13 I've made it this far on my own! I'm done. I'm finished and I'm leaving." I just couldn't stand lying to them about Sarah anymore. I couldn't stand lying to them about her death. She left me. She didn't die and I can't tell them that. "Maybe it's for the best" I could barely hear that Tim guy mumble as I walked away. Suddenly I felt a strong grip around my upper arm. I turned around to see Ty looking into my eyes. "Look let me talk to you alone again." He said. I shook my head but he pulled me aside anyway. "Tell me what's wrong Emery! You were fine earlier." He whisper yelled. He was clearly angry and I was somewhat glad he was. That meant he would probably let me go. Let me leave and get out of their lives. "Look I just want to leave here Ty." Ty looked me in the eyes "No you don't." God damn it why was he so insistent?! "Yes I do Ty! Yes I do." I said tears starting to stream down my cheeks. "No Emery! What's wrong?!" We were both still whispering. "Sarah isn't dead okay?!" Ty looked at me "What? What do you mean she's not dead… if she's alive where is she?!" Still whisper shouting… "I don't know where she is Ty. She hasn't come home in weeks. For all I know she could be dead but I just… she left me okay?! I wasn't good enough for my own damn mother and she knew I existed so I'm out. I'm done. She didn't want me and it's just a matter of time before you don't want me either." At this point I was balling. "Emery…"
Ty's POV
Sarah's alive.. But she…she abandoned her daughter. Now I was pissed no matter how little time I've known Emery! How could someone just leave their daughter! The person you're supposed to love more than anything and you abandoned them! How could a person?! I was fuming. I knew Emery could see it but I didn't care. "Emery. Why wouldn't you tell me this?!" I was through with whispering. She quickly glared at me and then yelled back "BECAUSE SHE'S DEAD TO ME!" Everyone looked at us confused and I just stood there in shock as Emery ran away and Jack ran after her. "What was that about?!" asked Amy "S-s-s-Sarah she isn't dead…. She just…She left." Caleb looked at me "Why would she lie about that?" he asked. "She…. I don't know. But I kinda get it. I don't know why." Suddenly we heard Katie yell "Georgie wait for me I have little legs!" and then we saw the two running around the corner. "What's going on?!" asked Georgie Frantically. "I don't know Georgie…"
Jack's POV
"Emery!" I yelled I was still chasing her. Suddenly she stopped. She turned to me looked me right in the eyes and said "no…" and then collapsed to the ground crying. "hey… Emery come on. I didn't stick around long enough to hear Ty tell me what was wrong so why don't you?" Emery looked me in the eyes as I was kneeling down next to her and whispered "she didn't want me." I was confused, "What do you mean?" she replied "Sarah." Looking down at the ground she quickly sobbed. "Sh-she didn't die… she left… she left me cause I wasn't good enough for her…. She was my mother. And I wasn't good enough. I wasn't important…" I sighed. "Emery…"
Emery's POV
"Emery…" he said sighing "You know that… she left you because she was an awful person. Look…" Suddenly I started feeling Dizzy and I think Jack noticed because he started saying "Emery…. Emery are you okay?" I moaned still feeling totally dizzy, my head starting to hurt my stomach throbbing my heart pounding. It had only been 6 days since my last surgery. I shouldn't be up and about like that but I was. And suddenly, though all the pain continued. The world completely disappeared and faded into nothingness.
Jack's POV (again… I know.)
"Look…" I began to say but then I was cut off. Not by her trying to object but by her looking in pain. She gripped her chest tightly. "Emery… Emery, are you okay?!" I asked her putting one supportive hand behind her back. All I got in response was a moan of pain. Soon her head began to move in circles and she looked confused. And in pain. But then when I went to ask if she was okay she was out cold. "S**t s**t s**t!" I called 911 knowing that she's had a lot of surgeries in the past and they sent an ambulance.
I guess they assumed I was her grand father but… come to think about it what is my relation to her… I guess were not related but I guess through Amy I'm her s- NO I can't be thinking about this right now! Now is not the time. But anyway, they let me ride in the ambulance with her. They started asking me questions about her past and all I could tell them was all the birth defects they told us about. I guess they started to catch on that I wasn't really family from the fact that I wasn't squeezing her hand or whispering supportive words to her. "Sir, how are you related to this girl?" the EMT asked me, Emery was still un conscious. I answered their question very awkwardly. "I'm he fath- Next of ki- I'm her father's grand father in law… It's complicated." The EMT looked at me questioningly. "Sir, how could your relation to somebody be complicated?" I replied with "Well we just met her yesterday. Her mother disappeared and she just met her father- my son in law- yesterday and he didn't know he even had a child until then." I said quickly. Getting it off my chest.
The EMT looked at me questioningly and then seemed to accept it as I took out my Cell phone and called Ty. I waited for him to pick up and the heard "Hey Jack! Where are you? Have you found Emery?" he asked frantic "Yea I found her b-" then I heard someone in the background say "So?!- Lou, Shhh!" Ty came back on "But!?" I continued "I don't know something was wrong she passed out we're at the hosp-" I was cut off once again but by someone on my end of the line. "Sir, what is this girl's name? We have to look up her medical history." I put my hand over the receiver of the phone and answered "Emery Whinefeld." "And how do you spell that sir?" I replied once more "E-M-E-R-Y W-H-I-N-E-F-E-L-D." And then I went back to the phone. "Ty, something was wrong I don't know what though. She just grabbed her chest and started to look in pain and then she- she just fainted. I mean I know her surgeries and stuff but I-" "Sir? Um yes we see there was a paternity test involving Miss Whinefeld today." I looked up at the nurse and quickly said into the phone "Ty, I have to go." Ty answered quickly "I'm on my way."
Ty's POV
I don't care if I've only known emery for a day and a half. She's my child. She's my responsibility because Sarah didn't love her. I mean If Sarah wasn't going to be a mother to the kid, the least she could do was let me know her! Right now, I was fuming. Therefore after the call I ran straight to my truck and drove like a mad man. I mean I felt a bit bad to be stranding some people at the house but, this was important. As soon as I got there I walked into the emergency room and saw Jack talking to a nurse. I walked up and said "Hello my name is Tyler Borden father of Emery Whinefeld." The nurse looked at me and answered "Hello mister Border I was just telling mister Bartlett about our plans with Emery. So we have requested that we receive the results of the paternity test immediately just to ensure that you are in fact her father. But she is currently prepped for surgery because she is under 18 but has no next of kin other than you to allow her into surgery. So we will need your permission to operate. That is if you are in fact her father. She will be okay until the surgery it's just that the surgery, which will touch up the one she had last week, will just ensure that she is okay in the future." I looked at the nurse once more. "She had a surgery last week?" The nurse looked at me confused. "Yes sir, she did." And then there was a ping at her computer on the other side of the counter. She went to look at it "Sir the results from the test have just arrived. The odds of paternity are 99.9% therefore we can safely assume you are her father. So we just need you to sign off on these forms for her to admitted into surgery." I nodded quickly grabbing a pen and signing the pages. "Okay sir. I will hand these over to the doctors and they will commence your daughter's surgery." She said with a smile. God why are they always so chipper?
-Time Skip-
"Sir, your daughter's surgery is over." It felt like it had been forever. At this point the whole family was here. Amy gripping my hand tightly. I feel like she could almost get a vibe type feeling when I was upset. Although I wasn't doing much to hide my anger towards Sarah or my worry for Emery. I kissed her hand and then followed the nurse to Emery's hospital room.
Thanks for reading everyone! I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoyed! Remember to review it so I can change it. I would really appreciate grammar and story line corrections since this is a school project. Thank you!
