Nikki’s POV

I walked out of the bathroom and stopped. I just thought about something. I hadn’t seen Stevie since the accident, and I hadn’t seen Ashley in about an hour. I saw Danni sitting in a chair reading a book.

“Dan? Where are Stevie and Ashley?” She looked up at me and shrugged.

“Ask dad. I’m sure he’ll know…” that’s all she said and she looked back down at her book. She reached beside her and grabbed her pimp cup. She doesn’t go anywhere without that thing.

She won it in a carnival game 2 years ago. That would make her 12 at the time. I still think it should be mine. I’ve tried to steal it from her countless times, but yet she always catches me. I think she has a 6th sense about it.

I shrugged and went to find my dad. Where ever he was. I don’t really want to talk to him, but I guess he knew where Stevie and Ashley were. Unless I find Frank first. He’ll probably know.
I turned the corner, and who do I run into? Frank is who I ran into, literally.

“Do you know where Stevie and Ashley are?” I asked him. He sighed.

“Well, I don’t know where Ashley is, but Stevie is probably unconscious somewhere…” Wait… What?

“What do you mean? What happened?” I asked, starting to freak out. Why was Stevie unconscious? And where was Ashley?

I turned and walked down the hallway, trying to figure out where to go. I reached the end of the hallway and found that the elevator was out of order. I sighed and went to the stairs. I started down them, when I noticed something. Someone to be exact. It was Ashley, unconscious on the floor…

I waited patiently for Stevie to wake up for the past hour and a half. I was just about to get up and go to the bathroom, when I heard a strange noise. I walked over to Stevie and smiled, happy to see him awake. He returned the smile and grabbed my hand.

“So, I see you’re up and about again. Feeling any better?” he asked me.

“Yea, sure, I guess so. I mean, what happened to you anyway?” I asked, truly concerned about my boyfriend’s well being.

He sighed, “Your dad didn’t tell you, then?”

Curiosity filled me. “What does my dad have to do with this?” He shook his head at me.
“Well, after you were stabbed, your dad started yelling at me. I don’t really remember what was said, but the next thing I knew, I was here at the hospital.” He paused, “Where’s Ashley? Is she here?”

I nodded, “Yea, she’s here. I found her at the bottom of a stairwell, unconscious. She was admitted a little bit ago. Once everything with Ashley was settled, I asked the nurses if they had seen you, and they told me that you were in here. They wouldn’t tell me why, though.”
He looked at me, stunned. “Well, what happened? Is she gonna be Okay?” he asked me in a matter of two seconds.

“Nobody knows what happened, but she’ll be Okay. She’s a strong one.” I sat down beside him on his bed.

He nodded, “So, what happened to you? You’ve gotta fill me in, cause, you know…” he chuckled.

“Well, there’s good news and bad news.” I hesitated. “The good news is that I’m gonna be fine and that I get to go home whenever. But the bad news… I think we have just solved our baby problem…” His mouth fell open.

“What do you mean exactly?” Stevie asked over dramatically.

I shook my head, “What the fuck do you think it means? We lost the god damned baby!”

He nodded. I could see the sadness in his eyes.

“You know, as much as I was freaking out about being a dad, this really sucks.” I nodded.

“I know what you mean. Just, after I got to thinking about it, I really…” I paused. “Damn it, Stevie! I just, really fuckin’ love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I just really love you, you know?”

He nodded, “Yea, I know what you mean too,” he smiled.

“I’ve been meaning to ask you something for a really long time now.” I smiled. I know exactly where this is going. But before he could open his mouth, my father walked in.

He smiled at us, “I see you found your boyfriend.”

“Yea, no thanks to you. I mean, why the fuck did you knock him out?”

He sighed, “Nik, I am really sorry. I mean, I was just really pissed off, and all I could think about was getting you to the hospital. I really didn’t want to deal with fuck head over there, because he wasn’t even paying any attention to you, so I just knocked his ass out and solved the damn problem!” He took a deep breath. “Now, we got to the hospital, and look at you. You’re perfectly healthy.” He paused. “Well, not perfectly, but you know what I mean.”

I shook my head, “Why do you even care anyway?”

“Because you’re my fucking daughter, that’s why!” he yelled.

“You never cared before, so why start now?”

He sighed and put his hands on his face.

Stevie squeezed my hand, “Fuck him. You don’t need him, you’ve got me.”

I smiled, “I know, because I have you, and you’re all I’ll ever need.”

Stevie smiled, “Nikki, can you hand me my wallet?” I nodded, grabbed his wallet and handed it to him. He reached inside and pulled out two identical silver bands.

“This isn’t an engagement ring, it’s a promise ring. A promise to remind you that our love is strong and true.” He smiled and slid the ring on my ring finger. I wrapped my arms around him.

“Oh, Stevie. I love you so much!”

“Nikki, please don’t tell me that you believe him. I mean, you’re 16; you’ve got your whole life ahead of you. Don’t waste your whole life on this excuse for a human being. I mean, I wouldn’t.” He said that with the most serious face.

Before I could say anything, Danni walked in the room.

“What the fuck? Are we having a fucking party in here?” I could tell by the tone of Stevie’s voice that he was getting pissed off.

“What crawled up your ass?” Danni asked, walking over and standing next to her father.
“Gerard did, that’s what! Wait… That didn’t come out right…” Stevie said. I tried to contain my laughter. “You know what I meant!”

“Alright! I can’t take this anymore! I’m leaving, and going to find my mom.” I turned to Stevie, “I love you.” I gave him a kiss and left the room.
