FLASHBACK
"CATHERINA WAKE UP NOW" I heard that in the morning every day my mom woke me up just like that and then I
fell on the floor every morning "I'M UP MOMMY" I got off of the floor and looked at my room I was still 7 and I loved pink.
I got up to go to the bathroom and I brushed my hair and took a shower. Then I went to my closet and picked an outfit,and I went downstairs then I kissed my mommy and said "mommy where is daddy". She said "he went to work early he did not sleep last night" I was halfway through my pancake when my mom said "we need to go, I Have to be at work at 9:00 and you need to be at grandmas" . I ate my breakfast and went to grandmas she always smelled like apples and we were making brownies today yum! I checked the time and it was 3:00 that means mommy is gonna pick me up. I went outside and started to wait () it took 10 minutes.
Then I saw a black SUV it was daddy yay I jumped up and went to his car Dom and Lucas were waiting I waved hi to them and they both gave me a hi-five and said hey there princess. I went to the back and said hi daddy he looked at me and said hey there kitten we began driving and I was telling him about my day when his phone rang he picked it up he began getting tense the driver stopped the car and Johnny and Lucas took me out. I asked what was going on they did not tell me,the car drove off and Johnny and Lucas stayed with me another car drove up I got in and ended up at home. I went in to look for daddy and then I saw mommy I said "MOMMY what is going on" .
"Daddy just left what is happening" I looked at my mom she looked sad I had no idea what was going on she said "honey daddy is just having a tough time at work ok don't worry everything is ok" she went in the kitchen and made me grilled cheese sandwich it was 7:00. I had to take my bath and my mom took one with me that was our family routine. My mom was SO funny and she was making little waves and splashing my face with water I loved taking a bath it was fun my mom was washing my face when we heard a loud bang from the door. My mom said shh she grabbed me out of the bathtub dried my hair and said "go to your room" she got very serious. I went in my room and I heard yelling it was daddy
It went on for about two hours then I heard my mom go to her room. I got out of my room and went downstairs and saw daddy in the kitchen I said "daddy are you and mommy ok" he looked at me he was tired he said yes honey me and mommy are really tired he got out of the chair he looked me in the eyes what's wrong you could sleep he went to the fridge took out a glass of milk and and a container of Oreo cookies we began eating the cookies and daddy started making stupid faces and making jokes and tickling picked me up and tucked me in bed and turned on the night light I went to sleep and I when woke up I saw a note on my door it said
Dear,kitten
"I love you and mommy more than anything in the world but I want you both to be safe and happy. I never wanted to do you this to both of you especially you but for both of you to be safe I can't be there with you and mommy . Kitten this is not about you or mommy this is about something bigger than both of you .I want you both to be strong and brave while i'm gone but don't worry I will be back when everything is okay remember to take your special classes it will keep you both safe don't worry daddy will always be there when you need me and you both will be safe. Please don't look for me and stay out of trouble.I promise I love you and mommy to the star and moon and back'"
Sincerely, Daddy
I went to the driveway his car was gone I ran to my parents room and looked at the closet I saw nothing I took the note and gave it to my mom I was crying I did not understand why he was leaving why he left me and mommy. I went to her and all she said was "I knew" she was trying not to cry she was trying to be strong for me but I said " mommy it's okay you don't need to be strong" she started crying too she held me in the bed and we both cried everything was different. I had no dad anymore just painful memories.
