Skylar's POV
"Daddy I want ice cream. " I say looking at my father as he held me in his arms
" After we get out of here sweetheart. "
"but dad. I don't wanna be here anymore "
"tomorrow is your birthday. so what does my princess want? " my father smiles looking at me
"I want a new bear. and I want a puppy. " I say excitedly
" the bear I'll get you but I don't think your mom wants a puppy princess. so I'll talk to her. "
"okay daddy. Ice Cream!"
"alright alright let's go" my father put me down and I went running. Pushing past people. dragging my father along with me.
"Wait princess. your mom is calling me "
" ice cream : D I want ice cream. "
" Haha OK tell the lady what you want and I'll answer your mom"
"okay. Hii!"
"Haha Hi Sky. Haven't seen you in so long. you've gotten so big. Hows your brother? and your mother? "
"She's fine. James is fine too. being mean like always. "
"ahh alright. so what do you want today?"
"chocolate and vanilla on a cone " I smile
"Ok got it. "
"thank you"
"princess you order already? "
"yea dad."
"sky! "
"mommy!! " I rushed towards my mom almost slipping on juice.
"I missed you!" she hugged me tight
" hi love. " my mom and dad kissed.
I yell ew and get off to hug James.
" skylar come get your ice cream!"
"okay!" I run and pay the girl taking my ice cream
"share some with me" James whines
"mine" I playfully growl at my little brother.
" share!"
"OK OK here " I pass him the ice cream.
" OK let go home" my dad said and I grabbed James and started walking towards the parking lot.
"wanna play wii?" I asked jay
"yeaaa " he looks at me. his eyes shining bright.
"Ok let's run to the car"
-------------------------Skylar's Birthday----------
waking up to my families voices. All saying Happy Birthday and singing to me with a cake in front of my face made me smile.
James Jumps on to my bed and hugs me.
"Happy 10th Birthday princess" My dad brings in a huge stuffed bear. probably the size of my mom.
"omg beary!!" I grab the bear and hug it .
"OK so since I wasn't gonna buy you anything I decided that maybe we should go to Ihop and eat some pancakes " -mom-
"can I bring beary with me? "
" Yea. He'll take up half the seat. But it's okay."
"yay " I get up and get ready putting on a red polo shirt, black jeans and my Jordan's on to go eat pancakes
------Walking out of Ihop------
"run Jay run!!" I scream and I run into someone and notice someone holding my brother.
"oh what do we have here? Williams kids I see."
"who are you?" I ask
" I'm your father's... uh friend " the guy said
"I don't believe you" I glare at him and look at the other dude
" let them go." my father yells walking out and I notice the guy holding my brother shoot my father 2 times.
as the men drop us both. I start crying. my mother falls to her knees and hugs my father as he bleeds out while taking her phone out to call the cops
looking over to James I see him just standing there looking mad. I walk over to him and he walks over to my fathers body. He slowly bends down and hugs my mother as she cries. Then I notice he whispers something in my father's ear. I scream and yell.
"Dad!"
he looks at me and my brother
" protect your mom. don't leave her alone. that's all I want. " all I feel is pain as he says those words
"Sky. take my necklace. put it on and never take it off. not for a second. I'll always be watching over my kids.And my son.You.. you will wear my ring. put it on your own necklace until you can wear it on your finger. "
I nod and take my father's gold necklace off his neck and put it on mine as my brother takes his ring
. I'm not gonna let those men get away with this. I'll make them pay. I'll make them suffer is all I think as I wipe my tears away. My pain quickly goes away. I feel my fathers hand on mine. and I hear him say "I love you all" and then his hold loosens and he closes his eyes.
my mother screams
"noo please don't leave me! Please! please stay awake!! I can't be without you!"
James hugs her and she hugs him back. I look at them both and I see my brothers hatred. He's not happy. even for a 7 year old I see he's strong.
I look up to him. No matter what he always seems to keep serious.
I can't do that.
I finally stop thinking and look down . I lay next to my father and hug him. I don't care that his blood is getting on me.I don't care if I ruin my clothes. all I can think about is holding my father for the last time.
" I love you daddy" I whisper.
