It was July 16th everyone was having fun playing outside in the pool. I was 9 nine years old at the time, I was playing in the sprinklers with my bestfriend Arianna.

"Aaah no ari stop" I scream as ari squirts me with the water gun

"Stop running Lillian" ari yells while chasing me. We kept running around until it was time to eat.

"ARI, LILLIAN COME AND EAT!" Ari's mom called out.

"COMING" we both yelled at the same. We walked over to the table and talked while eating.

------------------3 hours later---------------------

Ari and her mother had left. I was just sitting on the couch with my dad watching t.v.

"Hey Lillian?" he asked

"Yes dad" I replied

"You know I love you right?" He asked

"Yeah of course I do dad" I said

"Just remember that I will always be with you no matter what okay I love you Lillian" he said

"I will and I love you too dad" I said while hugging him he hugged back as if it was the last hug he would ever give me.

"Come on lets put you to bed its getting late" he said while getting up and turning the t.v. off.

"But dad I'm not tired" I said with a pout. He laughed

"Come on how about I read you a bed time story" he said

I jumped off the couch in a mila second "yes come on lets go dad" I said running up the stairs.

"Coming" he said while laughing. He walked up the stairs down to my room.

"Okay Lillian what story do you want for tonight?" He asked.

"Um how about this one" she said holding up a book.

"Ah peter pan, this was actually my favorite as a kid" he said remembering the times his mother would read him to sleep, he smiled at the memory.

"Okay get into bed Lillian" he said while walking over to the chair next to her bed.

"Okay dad" she said getting into bed. He started reading the book making hand motions and facial expressions, Lillian laughed and made some too.  Once he finished the book he looked over to see Lillian sleeping peacefully with a small smile on her face. He smiled looking at her, he walked over to her and gave her a kiss on her forehead.

"I love you lillian and I'll miss you I hope you will forgive me for this" he said while walking out the door.

----------------The next morning---------------

I woke up to crying coming from downstairs. I got up and went to go check it out.

"Mommy?" I said from the top of the stairs. I saw her on the floor crying holding a note. I walked downstairs and closer to her.

"Lillian I'm sorry to say this but daddy's gone he's not coming back" she said holding back tears.

"What why?" I said I could feel tears coming, I didn't stop them I started crying.

"He's dead Lillian he's not coming back" she said in a emotionless tone.

I started crying so hard for my little body I was actually heaving from the force.
