"We've been assigned some work in Europe, buisness stuff" He said

"That's awesome!" I said standing up and running to hug him

"Should I start packing?" I asked oblivious to Jakes laughing and Liz's stares.

"Sweetie it's a dangerous mission,we will be gone for 6 months." Liz said swatting Jake who was still laughing.

"What?....." I said turning to my dad who was nodding in agreement

"But...who will I stay with..." I said confused sitting back down

"Here of course." Dad said placing a hand over mine "But I'm afraid to leave you alone considering my enemies are everywhere."

"That's why we've been moving" I said finally getting it

He nodded and started to speak again

"But don't worry we have a companion for you to stay with" Dad said with a small smile

I already knew the answer I said it anyway.

"Who?"

"Jake" Dad said expectingly

-------------------------------------

Once the guests had left I ran to dad's room closing the door behind me

"You're kidding me right?" I said practically screaming

"Geez Olivia it's late can we talk about this later?." Dad said startled

"No I want to know NOW" I said tired of all the lies tonight

"Fine fine calm down" Dad said sitting down patting a hand on the bed for me to sit down

"I know 6 months seem long but it's not a lot" He started "And Jakes a good kid he'll take care of you." He sighed

"But why him? of all people?" I said dramatically

"What's wrong with him?" Dad asked now questioning me "Did he do or say something to you"

"No just wondering why that's all" I lied

"Well he's been specially trained since he was 12, and he's trustworthy" He said shrugging

"So am I" I said with a frown

"Yeah but you're my little girl" Dad said smoothing my hair out "If anything happened to you I couldn't forgive myself"

"When do you leave?" I asked

"Tommorow morning" He replied

"Oh, you'll miss my birthday" I said reminding him

"I know and I send my deepest apologies." He said kissing the top of my head

"Is he staying here?" I asked

"Yes, it's a better way of keeping you safe" He said

" And you trust him that much?" Hinting the thing that was on my mind that could occur while he was gone. Not saying it will but I couldn't stop myself from thinking it.

"No but I trust you that much." He said with a serious look

I smiled at that and leaned into him strong embrace.

"I'll miss you." I mumbled smelling his scent for the last time

"I'll Miss you too Livy" He said frowning

After what seemed like hours of just talking and hugging I finally left his room and into my own changing out of my clothes and into my PJ's.

I crawled into my bed and stared at the ceiling specifically the chandelier that reflected off the moonlight from the windows.
