Inside the ambulance,

Joe just sits there as the paramedics look over his injuries. Just staring at Chess thinking

"How could I leave her home alone like that? What was I thinking? What kind of a father would do something like that?"

He sighed

"Nancy was right. The way I've been treating Chess was all because I wanted her to be the perfect daughter. But... There's no such thing as the perfect daughter. But how could I have not realized this sooner. Why is it when you finally realize your mistakes...It's always too late."

Tears started dripping down his cheeks

"Oh Chess... I am so sorry for how I've treated you. And I promise i'll make it up to you one way or another. But...sweetie you have to wake up first. I can't do anything for you if you don't wake up first. Please... Chess...please wake up. I just can't lose my own daughter... Please... Don't(Sniff...) don't go. I love you."

(Sniff)...

"What have I done?"
