Falling
Ch.1- He's Gone

Everything was moving so slow. The fear of losing my best friend was devastating.

I'm scared.

Who will protect me now?

Right in front of me was the only man I have ever loved. My father. The medics were trying to calm everyone down but for me, I can't even hear anyone.

I can't feel the tears that are soaking my pained face. I can't hear the people who are trying to tell everyone to move as they lift the dead body into the ambulance. I can't feel my family putting their arms around me to keep me from breaking.

But the thing is, I broke as soon as they told me I had lost him. My friend, the one who kept me out of trouble. The one who saved me from everything. My daddy.

He's gone.

^ The date of my father's death. The date of my broken heart. The date I lost myself.

<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>~<~>

It was the end of the funeral and I was the only one here.

I don't want to believe this. I want to go home and play soccer or football with my dad as we laugh at the dumb things we say.

He taught me how to stand up for myself. And how to play different sports. He taught me the right vocals when singing and how to play some instruments.

Who's going to teach me now?

He promised to at least be with me for my wedding.

"Daddy will I ever find the one meant for me? Will I fall in love just like you and mommy?" He smiles at me and squats down to my height. He grabs my hands and puts them against my beating heart.

"One day a very special and lucky man will have that heart and make it beat fast every time he's there. He will keep you safe and never let you go for as long as you guys live. Than one day you two will be ready for marriage and I will be the one to bring you down the isle. I will be right next to you for your special day and hopefully longer. But always remember I will always be by your side."

"Thank you daddy." I hug him and smile into his shirt.

You broke your promise dad. I believed you but you're gone and I haven't gotten married yet. Who's gonna walk me down the isle now?

"Y-you pro-promised." It came out shaky and full of pain but that's all I feel now. The tears were flowing like a waterfall and I fall to my knees right next to the giant whole that still needs to be filled with more dirt.

It's becoming dark out but I can't move from this spot. It would feel like I'm leaving my father.

Why did it have to be you daddy? I'd rather it be me. I would have happily switched places with you but you just went to quick.

He's not here. He's not with me. It's real and it's killing me.

I already know now that He's Gone.
