Holding your hands, yeah, we'd never let go

*10 years ago. You two were just lovebirds, crazy for each other. Yall had known each other since you were kids, and it was always clear how much yall meant to one another. As carefree 18 year olds, you two were head over heels for each other. You guys both lived in a small apartment. While you went to college, he as trying to start his music career. You guys were stay up late, talking about your futures.

"Promise me something, Chris..." You asked in a hushed tone, the whisper sending a shiver down he's spine. "Anything, baby." He responded back in a reassuring tone, rubbing circles on your back.

Squeeze 'em five times, that's our own little code

"Promse you won't leave me behind when you get famous...I need you...the baby needs you..." A silence settled in. A beat. Then another. Before he spoke up, pulling you closer to him. "I'll never forget you or the baby...never..." Oh how you wished that was true.

Present

You are now 28 with a ten year old girl named Hailey. You and Hailey live in a decent neighborhood in a decent apartment. You work 2 jobs, a waitress at night and a hairdresser by day. Your dreams of becoming a nurse had gone down the drain the minute Christopher left and you had to figure how to provide for the baby. Hailey had never met her father, but she knows it's him, the "famous guy on tv" as she calls him. For some reason, she always seemed excited whenever she sees him on TV, instead of being mad. You never understood how she could love the man that didn't even care for her.

Told you good night but you're spending all-nighters alone

It was a Saturday morning, you were eating breakfast with Hailey. Cereal with toast on the side. Yall watched the morning news, savoring this day off from work and school. As the news switched to their entertainment segment of the show, there was that sickening name.

Bang Chan from Stray Kids joins us today to talk about the upcoming show here in our very town.

You nearly snorted out loud. Who did he think he was? The best kpop idol on the planet? But to be fair, many people would agree with that statement, and it drove you nuts.

"Mommy, mommy! Look, it's daddy!" Shouted in a very cheery tone. Her eyes wide and bright, staring at the man who left her without a care in the world. "Hm. Yep...that's him alright..."

The newscaster held the interview with Christopher, or aka, Bang Chan. As they talked, right at the end, he speaks up. "And for a special surprise for the STAY here in this cute little town, me and the rest of Stray Kids will be holding a fan meet at town square. Completely free! So please come and say hi. Me and the boys will love to see STAY there.*

"MOMMY WE NEED TO GO! WE HAVE TO SEE DADDY! MOMMY! MOMMY! PLEASE?! Didn't this kid know that this man abandoned her? You sigh heavily, not wanting to see that liar, but you also didn't want to tell Hailey no. And besides, a part of you wanted to go. Not to say hi or anything. Just to see him. In person and not through the television. You mutter softly to yourself. "Fuck..."

Should've never said goodbye I wish I could turn back the time
