PROLOGUE
The world has changed, that is what I have to say.
Life goes on? However, why does it feel like mine has stopped a decade ago when I was just an innocent girl looking for nothing but happiness? A lie, that is what it is, I wish I was still the same at least I had a place somewhere; I belonged to a certain category. what about now? I do not know anymore.
I looked at my own reflection in the mirror, empty eyes and a blank face, a dark aura and a girl that I no longer recognize. I closed my eyes and remembered the only person I am certain would have been disappointed
********
"Honey, get down here. Your dad has a surprise for you" shouted my dad from the living room.
He is here, my father is home.
I run down the stairs excited to see my, I long for him. He is a fireman and has been away for three days. I know for some people it would be normal, but for me, No!!!
I adore my dad, he has been here for me since the day I was born, for a whole 13 years he never said no to me. He treats me like a princess, and took care of me, my mom is a surgeon so she is rarely home, I spend most of my time with my daddy.
I saw him sitting on the couch in the living room holding a sky blue box, while tapping his foot on the ground impatiently.
One thing My Father dislikes is waiting, and well I made him wait.
I bounced on him hugging from behind. Tightly letting him know I missed him so much. He turned around and looked at me, chuckling softly while patting my head.
"Oh, your daddy misses you too, princess" he said while grabbing my hand making me sit beside him.
"I missed you so much, papa". I said while hugging him close to me, putting my head on his broad chest.
He put his finger on my chin making me look at him, he smiled.
"Your daddy was busy saving other people's lives, my dear princess. But he got something for you, and he is pretty sure you will like it," He said while pointing at the blue box that I saw him holding earlier.
"Really, is that for me? You didn't have to bring me something dad, all I want is your presence beside me, since mom is never free even on a Saturday night" I said sadly, knowing that this is a sensitive topic for both me and dad.
"Your mom is doing that for you, honey. So you can have the life you always dreamt of. Now open the box." He told me while giving me the box.
I smiled at him, and opened it.
My god there was the most gorgeous necklace ever. It was a silver necklace with a teardrop pendent. It was so simple, yet so beautiful, just what I like.
I felt tears streaming down my face, I was so happy, such a beautiful thing for me.
I hugged my dad so tight while sobbing on his chest.
"Thank you so much, dad. I really like it. "I said shakily, my voice hoarse from crying.
Even if he was busy, he never forgot about me. I am really lucky that I have such a father.
Please god; please don't let him leave me forever.
He smiled at me, wiping away my tears and said the sweetest words ever.
"You deserve the world princess, don't ever take it off. Whenever I am away from you, look at this and remember your father is always with you."
***********
I soaked my shirt with tears I should have never shed, I failed, I don't deserve to cry nor grieve over promises that are long forgotten. He promised he will always be with me and I promised I will follow his lead, the path he paved for me.
Two strong promises that got easily broken, he left me all alone in this cruel world and I failed him into becoming a person I don't even know anymore.
