i just finished watching BIG TIME CHRISTMAS, and i got inspiration for this immediately. please review! POV: Kendall Knight (7 yrs old)
"Mommy?" I asked.
"Yes, sweetie?" She was holding my little sister Katie, who could walk now, but was still persistent about staying in our mother's arms.
"Mommy, why isn't Daddy here? Where did he go?"
She sighed, put Katie in her high-chair, and took me to the couch. "Honey, Daddy's not coming back, okay? He's not coming home for Christmas. We're not going to see him again."
The tears were already pricking at my eyes. "Why? Why isn't Daddy coming back?"
"He left us, sweetie. He packed up everything and left. He didn't want us anymore. He didn't need us, so we don't need him."
I felt the water falling down my cheeks. "WHY?" I screamed. "Why did he leave? Why can't he come back? It's not Christmas without Daddy!"
"Kendall, calm down! Oh, you woke Katie up!" Mom got up and ran to my little sister's aid.
"Katie doesn't even know who Daddy was! She can live without knowing him! I want Daddy back!"
"Kendall! Calm down or you're not getting anything tomorrow for Christmas!"
I sniffed and ran up the stairs, slamming the door to my room so hard that the windows rattled.
Daddy wasn't coming back. I just had to face it. Daddy was gone, and he always will be.
