Flashback.

She folded her arms against her chest and pouted her face. Her big blue eyes had tears building up by the minute. Her pigtails jumped within each step she took toward her parents. She took a look at her mother, who had an aggravated look on her face, and her father, who was trying to reason with her. In each hand, he held two suitcases.

"Go, just leave!" she screamed to her long term boyfriend.

"Gianna, don't act like this," he replied with pleading eyes.

"No! Your leaving us, our daughter and I. How the hell dare you!" she continued with tears streaming down her face.

" I need to go. Its my new job, and it requires me to be on the road. Don't you understand? It will help pay of our apartment and help take care of her." he explained, placing the suitcases down, and trying to drag her into an embrace. Instead, a stingy slap connected to his face.

"Your such a liar! You have some tramp out there waiting for you. Go and take care of her. We don't need you." she exclaimed throwing the suitcases at him. He nodded his head, as his relationship came to an end. There was no way in convincing her otherwise.

"Get out!" she shouted in a raspy voice. Gianna opened the door completely gesturing him to leave the apartment.

"Hold on!" he snapped walking toward his daughter .

The little girl stared at the horrific scene. Her mom and dad seemed so happy, now they're family was falling into shreds.

She continued to cry, and sat on the kitchen floor. Her face glanced at her dad, who was now kneeling in front of her.

"Honey, you know I love you right?" he assured, the three year old nodded.

"Yes daddy, I wubb you."

"Baby, daddy is going on an adventure." he told her.

"Why? Please take me with you!" she began to cry again. He wiped the tears dripping down here face with the pad of his thumb.

"I'm sorry baby girl, you can't come with me. Its work, and pretty risky." he denied her request.

He shook his head, trying to hold back the tears. He didn't like seeing his three year old daughter like this. He cared too much to leave, but he had no choice. It was the opportunity he had been working for a while.

"No! Please daddy. I wanna be with you, take me on your adventure. we could have tons of fun, the two of us and momma! please!" she begged with her big blue eyes full of tears.

"Listen to me, I'm going to come back for you. I promise." he promised her holding her small hand.

"Okay daddy, I trust you," she agreed rubbing his cheek with her opposite hand. Her mother watched in pain, as the two spoke.

"I love you baby girl." he whispered in her ear.

"I love you too daddy, I'll be waiting for you." she sobbed giving him a huge hug. He kissed her forehead, however she kissed his cheek.

The young man stood up, and took his belongings. He glanced at his former girlfriend one more time, and winked at his little girl.

Her mother closed the door, and picked her up. The little girl frowned, and stared at her mother.

"Will he come back momma?" she asked. The twenty year old shrugged her shoulders and tears dared to leave her eyes.

"I don't know. Maybe." she replied holding her daughter in a warm embrace.

"I think he will." she quietly stated
