Daddy's Little Girl

• Part 1 •

"Allana darling it's time to go, your flight leaves in an hour we don't want to be late" i hear from downstairs

"Coming mother I'm just finishing off here" I yell back

Today is the day I get to go off on my own, my own freedom

I'm 19 and going off to college took me a year to convince mum to let me go off by my own, I'm an only child

I pack the rest of my stuffed toys and clothes putting them neatly in my suitcase, and making my way down

I meet mum at the bottom of the stairs already know what she's gonna say

"Are you sure you want to go baby girl, you know I won't be there to protect you! You will have to make friends straight away and find someone to take care of you" mum says with such worry in her face

"Yes mama I'm gonna be fine, I'm 19! I'm all grown up now remember!" I say giving her a comforting smile

"Alright dear come one let's go, get the rest of your stuff in the boot, have you got your pacifiers darling?"

I'm a little and my mum has always been okay with it, she's been my caregiver for a long time. She's in a pattern with me.

"Yes mama I got everything I need" I say smiling at her, she knows it's a smile of thankfulness

"Okay beautiful get your butt in the car" she opens the door for me and carries my suitcase to the boot

We drive to the airport which feels like forever, I've never been okay with driving it scares me so much.
But mum puts my favourite song on to calm me down

At the gate

"Gate 32 boarding to Los Angelas, boarding now gate 32" a lady speaks through the speakers

"That's you beautiful, mama is gonna miss you so much I made sure to book you a seat next to the window and right as you walk in the plane door it should be right there on your left, do you have your bear with you?" Mum explains to me

"Thank you mama and yes I got him" I say pushing him in front of me

Mum pats my head for one last time and gives me a kiss on the forehead then leaning in for a hug
"I love you so much darling, text me and call me as often as you can I'll miss you" she says with tears building up in her eyes

"I love you more mama and I'm gonna miss you twice as much! I'll call you when I settle in to my dorm room" I hug her back tightly knowing this is the last time I'll see her for a while

"Gate 32 boarding to Los Angelas, boarding now gate 32" the lady speaks through the speakers once more

"Okay darling go quickly, give the lady your ticket and follow the rest of the people down" she gives me a gentle push towards the gate lady.

I wave back tears falling from the both of us, I give the lady the ticket with a soft smile and she opens the gate and gestures towards a long hallway with everyone walking down, I look back one more time to my mum still there giving me a smile and a wave goodbye. I make my way to my plane to board

"Right here darling" a kind lady shows me my seat

I sit down with my teddy on my lap and see two more men sit down next to me. They look way to fancy to be sitting in lower class I think to myself
