Melanie Martinez Imagines (gxg)

Don't Want To Leave

Requested?: Yes, by Queen-Me-Love

Ship: Mother!Melanie Martinez X Child!Reader

Word Count: 245

A/N: So this turned out to be a drabble more than a full one shot. If y'all don't know what a drabble is it's basically an idea that you write, typically, in 100 words or less. This one is over 200 words though. I used gender-neutral pronouns because I didn't want to give the child a gender. I hope y'all like it. I open to writing more drabbles like this in the future. I definitely enjoyed writing it.

Warnings: None.

Melanie's POV
  "Mommy! Please don't leave!" said my four year old. "I have to go, baby. But I promise to call everyday and take a bunch of pictures for you." I smiled at them. I hated that I had to leave. Seeing them so upset to see me go. I wish I could take them with me. "And just think about how much fun you'll have with Grandma and Grandpa." I was trying to cheer them up so hard. I didn't want to go with them being sad. "You promise to call?" Their eyes were pointed to the floor, not wanting to meet mine. "I promise (Y/N)." I held out my pinky to pinky swear with them. We did this often when I had to go away. They held out their pinky and we put ours together. "Pinky swear." "Pinky swear."

  I started to cry in the taxi to the airport. I hated leaving them so much. I had to pursue my career, my dream. Not just for me but for them too. So one day they can see that anything is possible with hard work. I want to inspire them someday and if that means I have to leave them for months on end. Then that will be, I'll never be happy about it though. That's what you do though, you make sacrifices for the ones you love. I looked out the taxi's window watching as our home faded away with the distance.
