I GOT TO BOSTON around ten at night and decided to go straight to the hotel my mother and sister were staying at and wait till tomorrow to go visit my father in the hospital. I knocked on their door, waiting for someone to open it. I then heard a faint 'it's open' and decided to go inside anyways. I smiled once I saw my sister sitting on one of my beds, even though it was a shitty circumstance, I was still very happy to see my family after these last few months. I gave my sister Chelsea a huge hug with a smile on my face. I then gave my mother a quick hug, setting my stuff down beside one of the beds. 

"So? How has LA been baby?" My mother asked me and I smiled, shrugging my shoulders. 

"It's amazing. Of course, I miss being at home and all, but LA is my happy place," I explained and my mother smiled, nodding her head with me, "How you guys?" I questioned and the room then fell silent, and I decided to not push it when it comes to asking questions about what had happened today. 

"So, who is this David character your sister keeps telling me about?" she asked me and I rolled my eyes, hitting my sister with a pillow. 

"He's a friend Momma. I promise," I chuckled as she nodded her head, deciding to leave it be. My phone then rang, and I saw it was conveniently Dave. I answered it and put the phone up to my ear, stepping out onto the balcony to get away from my sister. 

"Hey, you at the hotel yet?" David asked and I replied with a sigh. 

"Yeah, I am, I literally just got here," I explained and heard some screaming in the background of the phone call, "What the hell are you doing now?" I questioned and David just chuckled, hanging up the phone and then facetiming me right after. I smiled and saw Zane and Heath were at David's house drunk out of their minds. 

"This is what I'm dealing with right now," David explained and I couldn't help but laugh as Zane and Heath both dancing on top of David's pool table, singing some stupid song from 2008. 

"Is that David!" I heard Chelsea scream, making me jump a little from her barging in like that, "Hi! I'm Chelsea, her sister!" Chelsea said very excitedly and I couldn't help but laugh at how helpless David looked right now. 

"Well, I'm David, your sister's new friend," he explained and awkwardly waved, making me laugh, Chelsea then left and I talked to David for a little longer, mostly about how dumb Zane and Heath were being right now. My Mother then came out to the balcony, with tears streaming down her face. I looked at her confused and saw she had her phone in her hand, her hands alone shaking like crazy. 

"It's about your dad," he mumbled out, making me feel very nervous. 

"Don't you dare hang up," I heard David say, he knew a lot better than I like to remember some days. I then grabbed the phone from my mother, it is the hospital.
