Chapter 13
“He passed away – I am so sorry.” She said in tears. Those words made my heart stop and I started seeing everyone in slow motion and it felt like it was the end of the world for me.
Tears couldn’t stop from coming down my cheek as I took a seat on one of the waiting chairs in silence thinking about how bad this day went.
I woke up still with the events of yesterday in my mind. I hope Stiles is okay, of course he is not. He’s been out all day, probably with Scott.
Can’t blame him.
I get up and fix my short hair which was kind of messy going in different places. I put on a shirt and make my way downstairs to make myself breakfast.
I open the fridge to see some eggs, I grab the eggs and put them on the table. I start making breakfast and go for some good ol’ scrambled eggs which I love.
I start eating before I hear a ring coming from my phone. Gosh, what now?
I quickly run upstairs leaving my delicious scrambled eggs on the table.
I enter my room and pick up my phone which was on my night stand. I quickly pick up.
“Hi there!” I let out quickly waiting for a voice from the other side.
“Dayton –” I hear a sad voice coming from the other side. “Please come.” I hear and that got me worried out of my life. What could it be why am I being called to the hospital?
I quickly dress up clumsily before I am out the door and get on my car in which my father gave me which I had not used in a long time because Stiles is always giving me rides.
I place the key on the ignition and start my car. I quickly start driving while the thoughts of what could be going on were covering my head.
*
After a long time, I finally get to the hospital that the person told me to go to on the phone.
I park my car quickly, I get out of the car and lock it before I run to the entrance.
As I get to the entrance, as my eyes wonder for the person I need to see. My eyes land on the familiar woman in front of me where she quickly pulls me in for a hug.
“I don’t know what happened – he was with his friend and then he just disappeared and the next day he appeared with-” She said as tears threatened to fall.
“Is he going to be okay?” I ask while I felt the sadness overcome me.
“I don’t know – Dayton – he’s in a critical condition.” She said while placing her hand on my shoulder indicating me to take a seat while she goes and talks to the doctors.
What is going on? I feel like I might have a panic attack in any second and then, the only thing that comes to mind becomes my last hope. My mother.
I walk out and look at the sunny sky, giving it all my attention.
“Mother – I know you can hear me – I hope you – I believe you can. Please don’t let him go this way – don’t let him – not now. I need him so much mother. Please!” I ask while some tears left my blue eyes and rolled down my cheeks.
*
I have been waiting for what seemed like hours. I felt a buzzing feeling in my pocket. I reach for my pocket and drag my phone out to see the person who is calling.
“Hello?” I ask, answering the phone.
“Dayton – Hi, where are you?” I hear Stiles’ voice which makes me calm down by itself.
“I’m at the hospital –” I say, trying not to sound like I have been crying.
“Why – which hospital.” He asks and I take a moment in silence as I don’t want to cry anymore, it’s one of those feelings where you know if you start talking you will break down crying. “Dayton?” The boy asks from the other side of the phone and I can sense in his voice that he is worried.
“Stiles –” I say and I can feel the tears already arriving. “Something happened – to – to my dad.” I say as I can’t control my tears anymore and I let them all out.
“Oh my – I’m coming.” He says as I can hear him walking on a fast pace on the other side.
“You don’t have to – you already have a lot of problems in your hands.” I say while wiping away my tears.
“I’m going –” He says before he hangs up.
Candice walks out of the room with tears falling from her eyes, walking her way towards me. I stand up and await the words from Candice.
“Dayton – He passed away – I am so sorry.” She said while crying her eyes out.
I take a seat in shock as I let the words sink in.
“No – no. This is not happening.” I whisper to myself as I quietly cry thinking about everything. I am totally alone.
Why did this happen? I already lost my mother but why, why my dad.
“I am so sorry.” Candice says one more time still crying. I stand up and give her a hug as we cry everything we have.
A doctor asks me if I want to see him before he is taken away but I decline. I don’t want to see my father in that state.
“Dayton?” I hear someone shout coming from the entrance, I see Stiles walking inside the hospital out of breath and pushing a doctor away while coming towards me and pulling me to a hug.
“He’s – he’s gone.” I say as the love of my life stood here with me. Maybe I am not alone after all. In that moment I felt like I wasn’t alone.
*
Me and Stiles hugged for what felt like eternity. I wished it was.
He went to get a snack from one of those machines. He demands to stay even though I have told him to go home since we are a few hours away from Beacon Hills.
My mind is devoured by memories from me and my father and every single one of them leave me in tears.
“You have to be strong, Dayton.” My father spoke as I cried in my bed. “Mother is still here.” He says putting his hand on my chest.
“Thanks, Dad.” I say as he hugs me.
“No problem, Oh – my boy. Remember, I am here for you, no matter what. Always. For the whole infinity. No matter what happens or how distanced we are. I love you so much.” He says, saying the only words I wanted to hear after my mother’s passing.
I wanted to say it back but it felt like I couldn’t. But I know he knew. Or I hoped.
I look to my side to see Stiles fighting against a machine. That makes me slightly smile. He is the only person who could make me smile in a moment so low like this.
This is definitely my lowest point in my life.
I just feel so numb.
The memories from me and my father make me realise one thing. Never let one thing go away, always take your opportunities and never let them beat me.
That makes me realise that I need to do this. So I do it. I am not going to make the same mistake with my father. I am not going to let an opportunity go away.
Every second counts and every action counts.
I get up and run towards Stiles, placing my one of my hands on his waist and another in his cheek as I pull him for a kiss. His soft lips were taken by surprise but then He places his hands on my cheeks and kisses me back.
This is the moment I have to tell him how I feel because I know that I might somehow never get this opportunity as it might be too late.
“I love you, Stiles.” I say right away as my lips leave his. A slight grin is welcomed to his face as he kisses me one more time.
“I love you too.” He says. I’m not alone and I will not be forever.

That moment didn’t save my father, in fact. I went to his funeral along with his friends. There was not a seat left in that church. That made me realise how much of a wonderful man my dad was and that made me proud.
I was still sad and I cry a lot. Jeez I’m crying now but the hand holding my hand makes me feel way better. Stiles.
Thanks to last night. A lot of good things came my way.
I smile slightly at Stiles as he gives my hand a reassuring squeeze. I am here for him, especially since our best friend is missing after he went with Deucalion and his father is also missing after being taken away from Stiles.
I hope we can rise away from this.
I know my father is looking down at me with a smile along with my mother.
I look to my side to see Candice who has a tissue on her hand full of tears. I smile at her and give her a quick hug, thanking her for being there for me in this moment. She is a guardian angel sent from my mother, and I believe that.
I look up knowing that my father is looking at me, thinking what I didn’t have the courage to say to him face to face.
I love you dad, and Thank you.
