A few weekends have past, and Me and Arthur have gotten really close.

Until I met him I didn't even know that big kids could be so nice.

He also super funny, he tells me so may jokes and he tends to laugh alot..sometimes a little to much but it doesn't bother me.

Normally we would meet at the park and he would push me on the swings. Or hold me up high enough to help me cross the monkey bars.

Even though it was fun, I was secretly nervous about going to the same park.

I was worried that the boy who pushed me would be there and try to hurt us.

But luckily he hasn't shown up so I've calmed down after a while.

Currently it was Friday night. Mommy had ordered a pizza for dinner, and she said I could eat it while watching cartoons.

She even got me my favorite grape soda to drink.

I was ontop of the world, my favorite food, my favorite drink. Watching Rainbowbrite on TV. And best of all I'm gonna get to see my favorite person tommrow, I couldn't be happier.

But all that happiness and excitement went away when I heard the sound of shattering glass hit the wall of my parents room.

"Great they're fighting again" I whispered to myself.

"What the hell is this Maurry?!" I heard my mom scream.

"Calm the fuck down will you?!"

"No! Who the fuck is Karen?! And why have you been writing to her?!""

Karen? Who is that?' I said as I kept listing to them.

But the yelling got louder and I couldn't really understand them anymore.

I tried to block them out by turning up the volume louder. But I knew things were just getting worse.

Finally the door to their bedroom burst open and Daddy stormed down the hall. He picked up his house keys and wallet off the Coffey table and looked over at me with a frown.

"Are you leaving Daddy?" I asked on the brink of tears.

"I'm just going out to get a pack of Cigarettes honey. Daddy will be back soon okay? I love you Jenna."

With that said Daddy gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked out the door.

"Daddy?..." I said before I started crying into my hands.

"Dont cry baby girl, we don't need him" Mommy said as she sat down next to me and hugged me close.

"He's not coming back is he mommy?' I asked through sobs.

"No baby..I'm sorry. But we'll be okay. We'll take care of each other.'

Despite her comforting words, I felt like my heart had been wripped from my chest.

This was so painful, and I didnt know how to handle it at all.

I just continued to cry until I fell asleep in my mommy's arms. Praying that this was just a horrible nightmare.


"Jenna! Over here!" Arthur called out as he waited for me at the entrance of the park.

I waved at him but kept my eyes to the ground. I was still sad about Daddy leaving, and this sad face felt permanently glued to my face.

"Jenna?..What's the matter?"Arthur asked as he put a hand on my shoulder.

"N-nothing...I'm okay" I said trying to fight back more tears.

"Jenna you're crying, did someone do something to you?" Arthur asked.

Before I knew I was breaking down once again and clinging onto Arthur's waist.

Instead of pushing me away or trying to get me off of him. Arthur held me and picked me up in his arms.

I held onto his neck and cried on his shoulder.

"Tell me what happened."

"Daddy..he left us...I'm never going to see him again.'

I continued to cry and didnt noticd that Arthur was carrying me away from the park.

But I was to sad to care anway.
