Chapter 21

Me and Conor were soon speeding towards the St Annes hospital. I kept looking out of the window and up at the ceiling to try and stop the tears falling down but it wasnt working. I didnt care that my dad had left me, i needed him and he needed me thats all that mattered.

Just as we turned a corner we ended up at the end of a massive traffic jam, i heaved a hugh sigh when i saw and the tears decided to fall and flooded my cheeks. Conor turned to me

"this is how much you mean to me"

Before i could question him he reversed slightly before driving but going onto the massive field next to us, he sped across laughing slightly

"ive always wanted to do this!"

"Conor what are you doing?!"

"getting you to your dad what do you think?!"

I gripped tight onto the seat as we arrived back on the road only to hear the beautiful sound of a police siren, i turned to him but he just laughed

"i hate the saying but YOLO!"

I kept a straight face but ended up laughing slightly, before we finally arrived at the hospital. I jumped out and pegged it to the hospital leaving Conor to deal with the police, i went straight to the reception desk.

"wheres david ashbrook?"

"floor 2, room 63" i nodded and ran off. I wasnt sure i was going the right way i just wanted. I saw a lift and dove into it pressing the 2 button. Within seconds i was rushing past people in the corridor looking for room 63.

I ran past room 22.

I ran past room 38.

I almost bumped into an old lady by room 45.

I ran past room 61.

I ran past room 62.

I stopped at room 63.

The door was closed and i paused, reaching out for the handle. I slowly reached out for the handle but soon saw Conor running up the corridor.

"i told the police and sorted it out... as well as having to pay £60.. you ok?"

I nodded slowly and turned back to the door, i felt Conor's hand slip into mine and give it a gentle squeeze before i turned the handle and opened the door slowly.

My dad was lying motionless on the bed, a policeman was doing some paper work on the side, he looked up when he saw me

"you must be Eleanor?"

i nodded slowly

"yeah.. is.. is he ok?"

The policeman stood up and his face turned grave before he took off his hat

"i'm sorry ma'am, i really am"

I felt my whole world crash and burn as millions and millions of tears fell down as i began screaming and shouting out in anger, he couldnt be dead, he just couldnt.

I felt Conor's arms wrap around me and try to hold/calm me down but it wasnt working, my dad was gone and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

A few doctors appeared as i was crying into Conor, they went over to him. They looked like they were going to take him away so i looked up quickly

"can i say a proper goodbye?"

They nodded slowly before walking out, the policeman and Conor followed, closing the door behind them, leaving me and dad. I walked over to the seat next to his bed and sat down, tears were falling down my face faster than i ever thought possible.
