Chapter Eighteen

Dylan

Soon as we got back to the hospital, my mom and dad was both there. I could feel the anger coming off of them from a mile away. Hell, China could possibly feel it.

"Where have you been?!" They both shouted.

I clinched onto Kyle's hand and pulled him close to me.

"We went to the beach. I just wanted to get out of the hospital for a little while. That's it." I told them, trying to be calm as possible.

My mom sighed but dad just grunted and rolled his eyes. I could tell he was way more pist then her.

"You honestly want me to believe that bull shit?! You need to stay in this hospital and that is final, Dylan!" Dad shouted making me and my mom flinch.

My mom looked over at him and disbelief.

"Calm down. He just wanted to get out of here. I would go crazy if I was in here this long too." Mom said. Hey, at least she knows the trouble.

My dad huffed and clinched onto his hair.

"I don't give a fuck. I just got him back and I am not losing him again!" My dad shouted and stormed out of the room and towards the elevator.

My heart literally crumbled. He really does care about me. More then I thought he did.

"I'll go check on him. Are you going to be ok?" Kyle asked me.

I nod and gave him a small peck on the cheek as he followed after my dad.

My mom sighed of relief and wrapped her arm around me.

"He is just worried about you, Dylan." Mom told me. I nod and gave her a weak smile.

She walked me over to my bed and she sat me down.

"Did you have fun at the beach?" She asked me.

Oh you have no idea.

"Yeah, It was fun. Kyle and I watched the stars last night." I smiled at her.

Also seen stars as he thrusted into me.

"Did you guys.... Um.... Maybe... God I never had this talk before." My mom sighed and looked up at the ground.

Oh god, I hope she is not going to say what I think she is going to say.

"Did you guys have sex?" She asked me.

Whop, there it is.

I looked at her nervously and looked down, shifting in my seat. I scratched at the back of my head nervously.

"Yeah.... I wanted to... Just in case." I told her and looked back up.

She raised an eyebrow at me in confusion.

"In case of what, sweetie?" She asked me.

This is really hard to talk about with her.

"Just in case that.... That I don't fight this." I told her.

She took in a deep breath before crashing me with a hug.

"You are going to get through this, baby. I know you will." she cooed in my ear.

Tears began to prickle out of my eyes.

"You don't know that mom. I'm in so much pain... So much." I cried out.

She patted my back, kissing my forehead.

"I know it does baby. But you are a fighter. I never seen someone with so much passion and love with going through what you are going through. I know for a fact that you are going to kick cancers ass." She told me. I chuckled and held onto her tighter.

After a few minutes of crying I heard the door open and I looked up, seeing who it was. My dad and Kyle.

I looked over at mom and gave her a weak smile.

"Can you give me and dad a minute?" I asked her.

She nodded and walked out the door, with Kyle beside her.

My dad walked in and sat down on my bed.

We just sat here in silence, neither of us knowing what to say to each other.

"You know I care about you so much, Dylan..... I want you to fight this with all you got. I just got you back and I can't lose you." Dad told me, looking over at me. I could see tears peaking out his eyes.

"Why didn't you ever respond to me when I tried contacting you awhile back ago?" I asked him.

I wondered this question for so, so long.

"I was in a bad place at that time, Dylan. I was always drinking. When I read your letters and emails, I got incredibly angry and drunk even more. I was barely there for Britt when she needed me. So that can tell you something. After I got sober, I tried finding you..... But your foster parents at that time, told me to never call you again. I guess this is when you were in some trouble or something." He said.

When I was in Juvy. He tried finding me.

Fucking foster parents.

"Yeah, that's when I was in Juvy." I told him.

He raised an eyebrow at me and chuckled.

"I was in juvy also when I was about your age. Probably why your mom fell for me because I was... What do they call it, 'bad boy' figure. And I guess that turned your mom on." He laughed.

"Dad!" I shouted in complete disgust. He chuckled and punched my shoulder playfully.

"I love you son." He told me and I looked over at him in shock.

"What?" I asked him.

"I said I love you." He told me.

My heart felt like it was melting. I never thought he would say that in a million years.

I wrapped my arms around him and cried.

"I love you too dad." I cried out. He chuckled and I could feel his tears dripping on my shoulder.

I am so happy that I got past all of this. I just hope that I get through this so my parents wont have to go without a child again. And Kyle won't go without me. I know he loves me so much. And I love him even more. It just hurts me thinking about if I don't make this. I don't know what will happen to Kyle. He may never find love again....... My dad may start drinking again and my mom...... I know she will be hurt more then words can even describe.

Why does life have to come in the way of everything?
