ALEXIS
I turn my phone back on with shaking fingers as I wonder whether
Thanksgiving will always be clouded by this event moving forward.
Will I sit at the table next year with my father? Or will his seat be
empty?
I’m not sitting at the table with him this year, and it’s because I’m lying
to him as I do things behind his back.
I didn’t even call him to bid him a Happy Thanksgiving. I didn’t call him
to tell him how thankful I am for everything he’s done for me.
I didn’t call him because I’m hiding out with my boyfriend.
And now I might not get the chance to tell him everything I need to say.
Thank you for being there for me when we both lost Mom.
Thank you for raising me into the woman I am today.
I may be twenty-eight, but I still need my daddy.
I thought I was living the past twenty-four hours in complete bliss, but
that bliss has quickly shifted into a nightmare.
I can’t lose him.
I can’t have no parents left. I’m too young. He’s too young. So was my
mother.
These details plague me as I wait for answers.
I have no idea what’s going on, and Gregory found out exactly zero
details, so I need to call Brooks. And if my father finds out where I am,
well, so be it.
I need to know he’s okay.
I ran upstairs immediately after telling Gregory let’s go and I started
throwing all my belongings back into my suitcase.
He has to be okay.
He’s going to be okay.
I’m still throwing stuff while cradling my phone between my ear and
shoulder when Brooks answers.
“Hello.”
“Is he okay? What happened?” I demand. I pause what I’m doing to hold
the phone tightly, as if that’ll make the reply any different. Any better.
“He passed out during dinner. Just slumped over. Scared the hell out of
my dad and me, so we called nine-one-one. The paramedics said he had low
oxygen, but they won’t tell me anything here at the hospital since I’m not
immediate family.”
“I’m coming home.”
“When do you need to be back on set?” he asks.
“Monday, but if I don’t make it, I don’t make it.”
He wouldn’t want that. He wouldn’t want me to put anything careerrelated on hold for him. But I will. I don’t care if it costs thousands of
dollars a day. I’ll pay the difference—it’s only money.
This is my dad we’re talking about.
Danny walks into the room just as I say the words. He watches me
quietly while I pack and talk on the phone, and he walks over to his closet
and grabs a small suitcase.
My heart lifts.
Is he coming, too?
No. He can’t come. Obviously.
But I need him there. I need him to stand by my side while I walk into
the unknown. I need him holding my hand as I hear whatever news awaits
me.
