I was acting like such a baby when we got back to Reds place. I didn't want to sleep alone.

I'm sick of being alone.

Being Red he was alright with my feelings.

He slept on one side of the bed and I slept on the other.

He seemed so peaceful.

One arm coming across his torso and the other by his side.

I really couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about school, my job, all the things that I really haven't had time to think about ever since Red came into my life.

I really don't know anything about Red. I have seen files on a table in his room that said F.B.I but other than that, nothing. I never asked him either. I always see him talking on the phone with someone named Lizzie. I asked Dembe about her once but he didn't tell me anything. He just said "don't worry about it", and changed the subject. I don't even know if Red cares about me. I'm so in the dark with him.

I reach over to wake Red feeling curious about this character. I stop. He's sleeping, I don't want to be this little nosy girl.

I switch sides, turning my back to him.

"Are you alright?" His voice quiet. It still startled me.

I turn back to him.

"I can't sleep."

He moves closer to me.

The moon shining in the window. I could see him blink his eyes open.

"Is there something on your mind?" He was giving me his full attention.

"Do you love me?" I say soft uncertain of my words.

It was a really dumb question and wasn't relevant, but I still want to know if he loved me. I want to know if I died, would he even care. He fell silent.

"You're my child, of course, I love you."

I smiled at him

"When I was younger I was never told that. I felt that if I died no one would care. I needed to know before I go and try to fight Jackson, that someone loves me. It's stupid I know." I look down at the white sheet.

"If you feel any doubt, you know you don't have to do this. I know this little villa in Guadalajara. We can go there. Stay for a while. See the sites."

The thought of that made me smile. Me and my dad together.

I lay my head on his arm.

"I'm scared," I say softly.
"What if I die? I don't have anyone."

He sits up and looks at me

"You have me, and I am not going to let anything happen to you."
