~8 1/2 years old~
"Aleeah!"
"Yeah?" She asked her mom.
"That was Mr. Hernandez on the phone. He told me your misbehaving in class?"
"Mom! That's not fair!"
"What's not fair?"
"Mom! Abby and Morgan weren't doing their work either!" Aleeah yelled.
"That does not mean you don't have to do your's either."
"What's wrong?" Beck asked walking in the front door.
"Nothing, Beck I think we should tell Lee what we found out." Tori said.
"What?" Aleeah asked. Beck took a seat next to Tori on the couch across from Aleeah.
"Do you know what cancer is Lee?" Aleeah shook her head no. "It's a desiease, people can die from it." Beck explained.
"Who has it daddy?"
"Baby girl, I do." Without another word, Aleeah stood up and ran to her room.
"Oh gosh," Tori quickly said standing up, starting for Aleeah's room.
"Tori don't I'll go in and talk to her." Beck stood up and walked to his daughter's room. "Aleeah?"
"What?"
"What's wrong?
"I don't want you to die daddy."
"Hey, I'm not leaving you with that crazy lady in the kitchen anytime soon!" They both laughed.
~1 Week Later~
Aleeah went to play on her parents laptop to see Tori didn't sign out of facebook. The screen was on the messages with Randy Coping.
Its great to finally be happy again talking to a guy like you besides beck lol

"Hey Lee, what you doing?" Beck asked coming insdie from work. She quietly waved him towards her. He read all the messages: You'll love her

Beck whispered something under her breath that Aleeah couldn't hear, "Tori!" He shouted.
"What?" She asked stepping into the living room.
"Who's Randy, Tori?"
"What do you mean?" she played stupid.
"Who. Is. Randy? I know your seeing him behind my back!"
"Why don't you just leave Beck? No one in this house is happy!" Then everything went downhill from there.
"Daddy don't leave, I'll do anything to keep you right here with me! Can't you see how much I need you?"
"Aleeah go to your room now!" Tori yelled.
"Daddy, don't leave. Mommy's saying things she don't mean, she don't know what she's talking about!" Aleeah yelled.
"Aleeah!" Tori yelled once more.
"Somebody here me out..." Aleeah whispered under her breath walking to her room. She went into her room and got on her knees, "Father, listen, tell him he's got a home and he dont have to go. Father, listen, I will do anything in return! Ill clean my room try hard in school. Father-"
"Aleeah! Dinner is done!" Tori called to her.
"Father, I pray to you." Aleeah finished praying.
Now she hasn't slept in weeks, and Beck's cancer is getting worse. She on't wasnt to close her eyes, because she's scared her daddy will leave. They've tried just about everything, but it's getting harder for him to breath.
"Daddy, don't leave I'll do anything to keep you right here with me, can't you see how much I need you?"
"Aleeah, daddy doesn't have a choice," Beck said weekly.
"Daddy don't leave! The docters are saying things they don't mean, they don't know what they're talking about!"
"Aleeah go to your room." Tori said.
"Father listen, tell him he's got a home and he don't have to go, father save him. I'll do anything in return, I'll clean my room try hard in school I'll be good I promise you father...I pray to you," Aleeah prayed. She made it a routine to use this prayer everynight.
