Prologue got deleted, so I wrote a new one...

*** 

"Sage? Sage honey will you come down?" My mum calls out to me. "I've got something to tell you, hurry down dear." 

"Coming!" I yell. I put my laptop on the bed and sprint down the stairs. 

"What's up?" My mum looks so pale. "Are you feeling alright?" I ask her and take a seat next to her on the breakfast counter. 

"Honey your father called," 

"Who now?" I joke. 

My 'dad'  broke my heart way before any boy had the chance to. 

"You'll be visiting him." Never in my 19 years of life did I hear something so wrong. 

"Yeah no I'm not meeting the guy that crushed your heart and doesn't have the balls to raise his daughter." I say. 

"Sage listen to me dear-" 

"Mum I don't understand, why do I need to visit him?" 

"Go pack your clothes, all your questions will eventually be answered." 

"I'm not going to meet him-" she storms up to my room. I follow her. "Mum what you doing?!" She gets my luggages out fills them with clothes. 

"Let go!" I take the clothes off her and chuck it to the other side. 

"Sage try to understand! I don't have a choice and nor do you, please just listen to me. And go!" She holds on to my hands. 

There's a momment of silence. 

"Mum, I know I can be a handful, I know right now I'm lounging around the house but I promise you I'll get back into uni, I know I didn't make you proud but please mum don't give up on me..." 

Tears start to trickle. 

My mum gasps. "Oh no sweetheart!" She hugs me. "It'll never be that, I am so proud of you Sage Evelyn, you grew up and I am the most blessed to be your mother. But the time has now come honey. You have to go to him, he won't hurt you. I promise, don't be scared." 

Growing up without a father is hard, but it isn't that hard to do when I have an amazing mother who plays both role fantastically. 

"Me scared? Yeah right!" 

That moment when you realise growing up without a father... made you stronger.

Big up to those who are fatherless, for whatever reasons, don't worry you got this! Just keep on overcoming all the obsticles life throws you. Keep rising, keep healing and keep smiling. Xx lots of love S.
