I LOVE YOU

" JACKIE , YOU AND SOFIA NEED TO GO" RUSHED INTO THE ROOM WHERE MUM AND I WERE

SHE WAS BRAIDING MY HAIR

" WHY , AND AM NOT LIVING WITHOUT YOU" MUM RESPONDED

" REMEMBER WHEN I SAID WHEN ITS NOT SAFE YOU AND SOFIA HAVE TO RUN " HE GRABBED MUM'S HAND AND LOOKED INTO HER EYES

" BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU" JACKIE ASKED WITH TEARS ROLLING DOWN HER FACE

I on the other hand had no idea what was going on I saw mum cry dad hug her assure her that everything is going to be just fine

" PACK UP SOME SMALL STUFF AND LEAVE " DAD SAID

THEN REACHED DOWN TO ME AND SAID

" where are we going daddy " I asked hoping he would give me a reason to why we were moving in a hurry and why was mum all worried and in tears

" YOU AND MUM ARE GOING ON A LITTLE TRIP TOGETHER OKAY" HE SAID CARESSING HIS LITTLE GIRL'S CHEEKS

"what about you " I asked I didn't understand why dad said you and mummy " aren't you coming with me and mummy " I tilted my head to look at my dad he was avoiding my gaze because his eyes were all teary

" BECAUSE DADDY HAS SOME STUFF TO FINISH UP HERE BUT ONCE ITS DONE , I WILL COME RUNNING TO YOU AND YOUR MOTHER , OKAY PRINCESS " HE TRIED SO HAD NIT TO CRY INFRONT OF HIS DAUGHTER

HE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT HE WOULDN'T SEE HER GROW UP

, GO TO PROM , IN HER WEDDING DRESS

GOD THERE WAS ALOT HE WAS GOING TO MISS

" YOU PROMISE MEET DADDY " I SAID SOFTLY

" YES I PROMISE " HE SAID AND THEN HUGGED ME TIGHTLY I COULD FEEL IT LIKE HE WAS SAYING GOODBYE

LIKE HE WASN'T GOING TO RUN TO US

AFTER MUMMY WAS THAN WITH PACKING

SHE HELD MY HAND AND WE STARTED WALKING TOWARDS THE SECRET EXIT

" I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DON'T FORGET THAT , JACKIE " HE SPOKE

" I LOVE YOU TOO , PROMISE ME YOU WILL COME SOON " MUM SAID BUT THERE WAS ALOT OF WORRY IN HER VOICE

ME AND MUM STARTED WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS IT WAS FREEZING OUT SO COLD THAT MY CHEEKS TURNED RED

"WALK FASTER , SOFIA " SHE SPOKE AS SHE PRACTICALLY DRAGGED ME THROUGH THE WOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

I PULLED MYSELF OUT OF HER GRIP

" I WANT DADDY " I STARTED CRYING
