I'll stand by your side.
The theft.
"Amber? Sweetie, i need to talk to you.." My father sighed and took a seat on the couch. I looked up from my drawing pad and put down my crayon.
"Okay daddy." I smiled up at my father.
"C'mere baby."
I jumped up from the floor and skipped over to the couch, he scooped me into his arms and pulled me close. I could feel his body shaking, he looked tired and sad.
"Daddy are you cold? Do you have a cold?" I asked. He shook his head, and sniffled, wiping his nose with his sleve.
"No baby.. Listen to me. Your mother, she's gone away for awhile."
"Like a holiday?"
My father let out a dry sob, i felt his arms tighten around me, as if he were holding onto me for dear life.
"Amber, baby.. She's gone to New York. That's where she lives now.."
"Oh."
The room fell silent.
She was gone?
I stared up into my fathers eyes, confused.
"..She's not coming back Amber. It's just me and you now."
"Okay daddy." I smiled up at my father.
