Sealed With A Kiss

Emily's POV:

Scared of losing.

I lost my grandparents and then my father.

People say you only have one dad and one mom. I guess I realised its meaning a little too early at my tender age of 13 when I lost my father in a car accident. He was chasing terrorists at that time. He was a martyr and I am so proud of him and will always be.

Mia went into the fist of mania upon seeing me at such hour. She thought I had been robbed or something. I never told her the reason.
