Telling Him

Anna's POV

"Sit down Anna" Anthony repeated again after I refused the first time.

Dad has been transferred to a ward and we were told he was stable.

I felt tired and my head was throbbing from all the yelling.

I stood beside his bed and watched helplessly as different machines were connected to him.

"It's just a gunshot, why are all these connected to him?" I turned to ask the nurse that was about to leave.

"It narrowly missed his heart, he is in a critical condition. He will be fine after proper care" she said before going out.

"I need some fresh air" I said to Anthony and Nathaniel before I also left the room.

It's funny that I cried the most today, I don't know how much he meant to me until now.

My phone rang out in the quiet rest room.

I absentmindedly answered the call.

Anna?" Nicholas's voice reached my ears from the phone.

Oh Nick.

My eyes filled to the brim again, he must have heard the news.
