It was a quiet peaceful summer night at a city called Boston, Massachusetts. The sky was clear, making the stars shining across the dark sky. The full moon was rising above the sky, making the ocean sparkle.
Killian Jones was sitting on the back porch of his house, looking out at the ocean. The warm breeze blowing through his skin, making his body feel calm. Killian was staring at the ocean, seeing waves come crashing into the shore. Hearing those waves crashing in makes Killian feel peaceful. When he has a stressful day, whenever if it is his work or taxes or something like that, Killian would always go to the back porch and just sit on his chair, looking at the ocean. It would make his rest of the day feel happier and calm than it used to be.
Some days his wife, Milah Jones, and their four year old daughter, Riley Jones, would sometimes join him. Milah and Riley would make Killian laugh or smile every time they would join him. Some days, Killian would play with Riley and Milah at the beach to calm his stress down. And it actually works. With all of the laughing and giggling from Riley and Milah, it definitely helps him.
Milah and Killian knew each other ever since middle school when Killian moved to Boston with his parents. Somehow the two had a thing for pirates and they became amazing friends. During their high school junior year, Killian and Milah started dating and became high school sweethearts. Then about four years of dating, Killian finally proposes to Milah and she accepts it gladly. A year and a half later, Killian and Milah got married a year before they had Riley. Riley looks a lot like her father. She jet black hair, sky blue eyes and his smile. Her personality is like her mother and her father's combine. Happy and adventurous.
For the past five years, Killian has gotten an amazing family. An awesome wife. A beautiful young daughter. Killian knew his life was like a fairytale ending. A 'happily ever after' life.
That wasn't until a car crash that night.
Killian and Milah was on a date when this happen. It was right after their date and Killian was driving to their house to let the baby sitter leave for the night. A flash of lights and Milah's scream got Killian's attention right before the car impact. The impact was hard it knock out Killian and Milah hard and their world went black.
When Killian woke up, he turned to his wife and saw something he wish he should never seen. His wife, Milah was stabbed in the stomach, arms, and face with pieces of broken glass that came from the windshield. A big one stabbed Milah's stomach. One went through her head, cheeks and her chin. Her eyes open, not moving nor breathing. Killian felt himself panic when he tried calling her name so many times. She didn't respond at all. Killian tries waking her up in so many ways, to make her come back alive. But it wasn't working.
His wife was gone. His Milah was gone.
It has only been a few days since the accident. The man that hit Killian and Milah apologize so many times to him and Killian accepted it slowly. Killian knows the man didn't mean the accident but that accident cause his wife to die. Right in front of him. And it killed him losing his wife right in front of him. What even got worse was when Killian had to tell his daughter the next day about her mother's death.
"Daddy? Where's mommy?"
Riley was staring at her father, who was sitting on the bed, hands on his head. Killian jerks his head up and looks at his daughter with a fake smile on his face.
"Come here baby girl." Killian whispers to her sadly. Riley walks over to her father slowly. When she was facing him, Killian was looking at her with tears in his eyes. He takes her hand right before he speaks.
"Mommy and I got hurt last night baby girl." Killian softly saids to her. "Are you and mama okay?" Riley ask, having a little panic in her tone. "I'm okay...but mama she is hurt baby girl. The doctors tried fixing her, but they couldn't do it. They told me that she isn't coming home at all." Killian chokes out.
Riley looks at her father, very confused of what he said to her. "What do you mean daddy? Why isn't mommy coming home?"
Killian squeezes Riley's hand a little bit. His lips was trembling as tears was pouring down his cheeks. "Mommy is gone. She isn't going to be here anymore." Killian chokes out.
Riley looks at her father with wide eyes, knowing what he meant. Riley started sobbing immediately as she hugs her father tight. Killian hugs his daughter tight in return. Both Riley and Killian was shaking badly as the two were loudly sobbing across the house.
That was a few days ago. Milah's funeral was earlier today. It killed him and Riley (mostly Riley) to see Milah laying peacefully on the coffin. Right when Killian and Riley walked over to see Milah, Riley started crying her eyes out. Killian holds her the whole time during the funeral. Right after the funeral, Riley and Killian sees the coffin going underground. Being buried made Killian's heart break. Killian immediately left the graveyard right after. He didn't want to see no more.
His wife was gone. There was no way in the world that he can have his wife back. God decided that Milah should be in a better place that night and he took her. Away from Killian. Killian can't blame God nor the man that caused the wreck that took his wife away from him. If God decided to want somebody in heaven that is his choice not Killian's. He misses Milah so much right now.
His thoughts came back to life when he heard a voice right beside of him. Killian turns around and sees his daughter, holding her teddy bear close to her chest, having tears in her eyes.
Killian looks at her softly. "What's wrong love?" He asks. "I had a nightmare daddy." Riley softly explains. Killian motions her hand to come over to him and she obeys quickly. Killian picks her up and puts her in his lap.
"What was your nightmare about sweetie?" Killian asks softly. Riley gulps before answering his question. "A monster came and killed mommy."
Killian's eyes went a little wide. This was a first time Riley had a nightmare about her mom. Killian rest his hand on Riley's head and moves it to his chest. Then he can feel Riley shaking badly. He started hearing her sobs as he hug her tighter.
"I miss mommy too baby girl." Killian whispers in her ear. Then he kisses her temple. This made Riley cried even more. Killian rocks back and forth, trying to calm her down. While he was doing that, Killian looks up at the moon, feeling tears in his eyes.
He wishes his Milah was hear, comforting her daughter. He wishes he would just hug her and kiss her and just be with her every day every night. But that can't happen. Because Milah was already gone.
