"Dad, daddy can you teach me how to ride a bike today?" I asked my dad while he was looking at his bills.

"Not today April, I'm really busy sweetie. Tomorrow, I promise."

"But dad you promised, you said today!" I stomped my feet towards him and turned his face with my pointer finger.

"Baby, daddy's busy. He can't right now-"

"No, dad. I won't take no as an answer. You said today now come through with your promises. Wasn't it you who told me, 'if you make a promise always keep it, unless you want to always break your promises and looked upon as a liar.' Dad don't become a liar."

"You're too wise for you age," my dad chuckled.

"Just stating what you told me dad," I smiled brightly to him.

"Okay, April lets go teach you how to ride a bike!" My dad grabbed my hand and led me outside.

"Thanks dad, I love you soooo much." I told him while pulling him down and kissing his cheek.

Once I got on my safety helmet, and pads, I was off on my bike. I didn't make it past my mailbox without falling 5 times. Every time I would fall again, my dad would laugh harder.

"FUCK!" I cursed loudly.

Whoops I wasn't suppose to say that. But when I looked at my dad he was bent over, holding his stomach laughing.

"Honey, you're not keeping yourself balanced. Like this," he told me and positioned myself straight and held my bike for a little before letting go.

"And April, no more cursing till your 50," he said while kissing my nose.

I giggled and said, "okay dad, promise."

After awhile of practicing how to ride a bike, I finally learned.

"Look dad, LOOK!"

My dad swiftly turned his head in my direction and cheered, "great job darling, you're doing it!"

"I am, and it's all thanks to you dad. I love you sooo much, I hope you never leave me, like mom did." I hugged my dad tightly after seeing the pain creep on his face.

"I won't darling, I promise. I love you too," and with that we went inside.

-Present-

I woke up with freshly stained cheeks. Panting, in my mind I thought at least it wasn't a nightmare.

The memories started all flowing back to my mind. He lied to me. He said he would never leave me like my mom. But he did.

Now that I think about it, I remember the way I told him never to leave me like my mom. He seemed like he was hesitant with his words. I was only 6 then. So blinded by happiness that I never acknowledged how my dad was hurting over my mom.

He use to tell me stories about her. His eyes would literally bright up like diamonds whenever he talked about her. One day he told me how my mom first ever got drunk with him. He said that she was singing thriller, and every time she did the hand movements her beer would spill. He said every time her beer would spill she would say, 'oh no there goes more pop corn.' I asked him pop corn? And he would say 'yeah I never knew why she would say pop corn,' and he would laugh uncontrollably like he was living that moment over again.

I never asked much about her though. I knew he would cry at night whimpering her name. One night I walked in and he had a picture of her in his hands and was whispering, 'why'd they have to find us, why'd that had to take you in the beginning?' I walked up to him and asked him who took her and he said 'God' took her. I was confused by that but never questioned him.

My dad was a man of inspiration. Whenever he was down he made it positive. He inspired me to be the person I am today. To stand up for myself, and fight for what you believe in, for your property, for yourself. And that's exactly why imma fight. Imma fight for him. For us. Imma fight and get revenge. My life was taken away from me. But I will NEVER let it happen without a fight.
