"I just can't believe you dated him and didn't tell me. I thought you were more responsible than that." My dad rambles on, anger visible in his voice.
"I, I'm old enough to date, Dad. I'm 16, you know." I state, Jesse squeezing my hand as a way of comfort.
"And you, if you're going to even consider dating my daughter, you'll have to get my permission first." He stares at Jesse then starts chuckling.
I exchange a glance with Jesse, a puzzled look on our faces.
"Son, all you had to do was ask." My dad continues to laugh.
I was down right confused, I thought my dad didn't even like Jesse and I being friends, this was weird
"Oh, um, then sir, may I have permission to date your daughter?" Jesse asks, his voice shaky.
"Yes. But if you ever, EVER hurt my daughter, you'll be facing me."
"Dad..." I whine in embarrassment.
"I won't ever hurt her, I promise." Jesse says, looking at me and smiling.
"That's right, well, I best be going now. Anna, call me when they release you from the hospital, ok?"
"Yeah, Dad. I will."I say and he walks over and kisses my forehead, then exiting the hospital room.
"Well, wasn't that a nice way to meet my dad?" I tease, my tone mocking.
"You can say that." Jesse laughs.
I laugh as well and sit back in the hospital bed.
In the corner of the room, a shadowy figure appears. I scream and Jesse looks in the direction I had been looking at.
It disappears before Jesse can see it.
"There, there was something there! Jesse, I swear! It was dark and scary..." I tremble, and he pulls me into his chest, rubbing my back.
"Shh, it's ok Anna. It's ok, shh..."
The next thing I know my eyelids are getting droopy and then I fall asleep.
