"What did I tell you?" He punched me with the boxing glove

"What did I tell you?" He punched me with the boxing glove.

"Never fear." I groaned trying to block his hits but they were coming fast.

"WHAT!?"

"NEVER FEAR!" I screamed dodging the hits uppercutting him in the jaw.

"Damn, that was good." He smiled getting off the floor.

"You didn't have to hit me that hard." I massaged my cheek. "Why do we have to keep doing this?"

"I want you to be prepared for anything. Now, grab that gun and show me your aim."

I rolled my eyes doing so. This was my life after I finished high school. He wanted to be ready for anything that came my way. I kept a steady hand while aiming at the target. I eyed it before taking my first shot and many more.

"Okay, that's enough for today."

"Already?" I only shot five times.

"Yes." He simply answered. I couldn't read his face well but something didn't seem right.

"Dad?"

"What's up babygirl?"

"What's up babygirl?"

"Are you okay?"

"I'm always good, why?"

"Are we always going to be together?" Nothing will ever happen to you, right?"

He took a deep breath. "Sometimes a person has to make sacrifices for their family. But no matter what happens in the future, I'll always be with you... in your heart."

I went to say something but his phone ringing cut me off. I didn't like his choice of words. It gave me a feeling I couldn't describe and I knew it wasn't good.

"We'll finish later, this is important. I love you."

"I love you too." I mumbled in defeat.
