April's pov:

5am...

I was sitting next to my dad watching him the whole time. I couldn't wrap my mind around it.
Him being in a coma...

I sit up from my seat after hours of sitting there. I kiss my dad on the head...

April: "I'll be back after work."

I grab my things and head out of the hospital.

I walk home...

I head inside and go straight to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror as my eyes were all red and puffy from crying. I also had huge eye bags since I haven't slept yet.

I then start getting ready for work...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

At Panera Bread:

Noah: "Hey there's my favorite coworker!!"
April: "Not today Noah."

My nose was stuffy and my eyes were still puffy.

Noah: "Oh no what happened?!"

Noah gives me a hug. I start crying.

April: "I'm trying so hard to keep it in but I can't!"
Noah: "It's okay."

Noah calms me down. I wipe my face...

April: "My Dad... he's in a... a coma."
Noah: "Oh my god! I'm so sorry April, you look exhausted! Why did you even come to work?"
April: "I thought if I came here it would distract my mind but it's not working.
Noah: "I think you should go home and rest!"
April: "Yeah, your right."

Noah rubs my back...

April: "Thanks Noah. I really appreciate it."
Noah: "Of course. Now go rest!"
April: "Okay."

I head home...

I lay on my bed and trying to sleep but can't.

~~~~~~~~~
Dad: "Your going to college!"
April: "Ugh your so annoying, I hate you!"
~~~~~~~~~

My eyes started watering. Tears rolling down my face.

"I hate you!"

I cried in my bed till I fell asleep...
