Dad gave me a big, warm blanket which I quickly used to cover my freezing body with.

The heating pad actually helped a lot more than I thought it would.

Dad gave me my phone, which I quickly used to text my friends with, letting them know that they could sleep over next weekend.

After that I put my phone back down.

Dad again walked away but came back after around 5 minutes.

He had changed his suit to some sweatpants with a hoodie.

"Didn't you need to go to work today?" I asked, pain clear in my voice.

"I cancelled everything."

"Why?"

"Because I want to be here for you. You've gotten your first period, got some bad news and I know you miss your mom" dad said sitting next to me.

I cuddled up next to him, making sure that the blanket is now also covering him.

"what was she like?" I asked.

"Your mom ...your mom was an amazing woman principessa. Always helping where she could, being nice to people even though some didn't deserve it. Then the bad ass side of your mother, she was the best female assassin in the world. Getting revenge for people who couldn't do it themselves and more. She really was something else. Making sure her family was okay and safe before looking out for her own. She was so kind, sweet and breathtaking. She loved you so much Val, so fucking much.....I miss her a lot, so much that I feel like I can't breathe sometimes." Dad said voice breaking as tears made their way into is eyes.

"I wish that I could've met her." I said tears falling out of my eyes.

"Me too baby, me too." He whispered.

"Where did you guys meet?"

"In a club-" he chuckled at the memory before continuing "-Back when I was in college, me and some friends went out to a new club in town. I went to the bar and had ordered us a few drinks when I saw your mom. She however wasn't looking very..happy, some drunk old man was touching your mother without her consent, trying to get her with him. She didn't want too but he kept going, so I stepped in between them. I'd punched the guy in his face, making him run of scared for his life when he saw my murderous expression. When I had turned back around to your mother she looked at me with the same expression. Turns out she was on a mission to kill the guy for touching his children in..unspeakable ways and I blew everything to shit by 'helping' her. She was so mad that she started scolding me like a child." he laughed.

"Did she eventually get the guy?" I asked when we both stopped laughing, the thought of my mom scolding him like a child was too funny.

"Yeah, we went on our first date together to celebrate" he smiled.

It's been a week since I started my period and let me tell you when I say that it's been hell.

I've been in pain for a week and have been nothing but an emotional wreck.

I've been crying over the most stupid stuff ever, two days ago I cried because I let my book drop and felt bad for it.

It was a math book for gods sake!
