I never expected running for my safety, visits from my dead best friend and an estranged fiance were going to be the main points of my life.. I wish they weren't, but it seems the universe had different plans for me.

The next morning, I woke to the feeling of Marley sitting on top of me.
I opened my eyes and found her staring down at me.
"What we doing here mommy?" I rubbed my face, trying to decide what I could say to her..
"Just on a little trip." I lied.
"Daddy?"
I looked away from her, thinking about Keith. I sat up and set her down next to me.
"Daddy went away for a while, he had to do something important, you'll see him later on.." Her child-like mind seemed to accept it, as she nodded and took a lollipop out her pocket.
"Where'd you get that Mar?" She looked up at me.
"Daddy." I sighed.
Leave it to Keith to give her candy on the low.. I smiled, thinking about him. I reached over and checked my phone and to say it was blown up, was an understatement.

I opened the picture to find my note and a "Please tell me what's going on??" underneath it. I sighed, scrolling through the rest of the messages, the most recent one stabbing me in the heart.
Keith: Please come home.. I need you here...
I never felt as much pain as this.. I missed him so bad.
