I froze and then turned to face the voice. Shit!

"You horny teenagers and your raging hormones. This is a public area. Keep it in your pants you tramp" An old lady said "What type of indecent girl let's a boy do that to her in a hospital" the woman muttered as she left the room

Dawn broke into laughter and my face turned bright red

"She thought you were a girl" Dawn said in between his laughs

"Shut up. Geez, stop kissing me at the bad times" I said and punch him in the arm

"I'll try, lil Missy" I punched him again

It felt good to laugh about silly stuff like this after what happened to my dad.

"Hey, Dawn?"

"Yeah, Nick?"

"Stay with me"

I woke up again to someone calling my name. I peeked my eye open to see that it was a young nurse

"Mr. Patterson, please come with me. You're father is out of surgery and would like to see you" she said in a calm relaxed voice as if her words didn't mean the world to me

I sprung out of my seat and glanced back. Dawn and Mike were still sleeping. They did enough for me today, I don't think it would be necessary to wake them up too

I followed the nurse into the recovery room and there laying on the bed in a hospital gown and an IV sticking out of his arm was my father

I immediately embraced him in a tight hug but pulled back when I felt him wince. He must still be in pain

"Dad, are you okay?" I asked trying to stop the tears from welling in my eyes again

"I'm fine, there's no need to cry over me" he gave me a smile that showed a bit of sorrow in it

"Don't ever do something so reckless ever again! I thought I lost you for good this time!" I couldn't control my tears this time. My dad simply put his hand over mine and said

"I'm sorry, son. It won't happen again" He had said this to me so many times I stopped believing him but I felt this time was different. He genuinely meant each word and for some reason that made me cry even harder

"That's enough worrying about me for today. Go home and get ready for school. I wouldn't want you to tarnish your perfect attendance because of me" I knew he was joking to try to cheer me up and it worked. I nudged him in the shoulder and laughed

"School can wait" I stood there glad that I have my father with me again

I stayed up the remainder of the night talking to him keeping him company. At some point along the night a nurse asked me to leave so my father could get rest. I almost wanted to argue with her but realized that I she was right and reluctantly left the room. On my way out, I bumped into Mike

"There you are. I woke up a few minutes ago and you were gone. How's your dad?"

"He's doing well. He just needs to rest"

"So, about school. I assume we're skipping today?"

"No. Perfect attendance remember" I smiled at his frown. "Don't worry. It's not like we're going to learn anything today"

*** After school ***

"We had four pop quizzes today and homework in each class. You said we weren't going to learn anything" Mike complained on the ride home

" I expected the teachers to have us clean up classrooms that are still flooded or something. How was I suppose to know that they actually wanted to catch up for all the missed days?" I was as annoyed as he was. I was still tired from staying up most of the night
