Secrets
Tommy growled to himself as his phone rang. It was 4 in the morning, the person calling had better be dying or they were going to get an ear full.
"Hello," he said groggily "this had better be important."
"Oh my, I am so sorry I didn't factor in the time difference." The woman on the other end said apologetically. "My name is Sandra Miller, I'm calling about your father, Daniel Oliver."
"What happened to him?" Tommy asked sleep forgotten.
"He had a stroke and he doesn't have much time." She said
"Damn… I'll be there as soon as I can."
He got off the phone and looked up to see Kira standing in the doorway.
"It's bad isn't it?" she said.
Tommy explained to her what happened. Then watched in confusion as she did something on her phone.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm messaging Trent to see if he can get you a ride to be with your dad."
"Kira…"
"We're family you know he'll help however he can, so will Dr. Mercer."
Tommy's phone rang again, it was Anton.
"Tommy, Trent told me what happened." Anton said, "When were You going to call me?"
"Probably at a decent hour," Tommy replied.
"I don't care, we're friends, friends aren't just there for each other during the day."
"I know, Anton" Tommy sighed.
"Look, I'll get you on the first flight out to your father, just text me where he lives." Anton paused "I will also cover your expenses while you are there. No arguments!"
"Okay, Anton." Tommy sighed "He lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. "I also think that he wants me to take custody of the young child he adopted, I'll find out when I get there."
He got off the phone and glared at Kira.
"I'm not going to be able to sleep but I want you to go at least try to go back to sleep." He told her.
"Tommy, I don't think I'll be able to sleep either." She protested. " But I get it, you want to be left alone, I'll see you in the morning."
"See you in the morning," Tommy echoed.
Kira left and Tommy finally surrendered to the emotions he'd held back until that moment. Once the tears started the sobs came quickly afterwards. He was then shocked to feel Kira pull him into her arms.
"I'm so sorry." Was all she said. What else could she say?
He finally calmed and thanked her.
"I've cried on your shoulder before, now you needed mine, it's the least I could do."
