Evil, I {Slow Updates}

An Elephant's Memory (Part III)

I'm finally eighteen. It was the month of February, 29th day, the year 2004. My girlfriend whom I was living with greeted me this morning.

"Good morning. Happy leap year. And Happy birthday"

"Good morning and a happy leap year to you too, and thanks" I said as I kissed her cheek, she then looked at me with her big round eyes and said

"Go get dressed, I have a surprise waiting for you..." She said as she caressed my hair

 "Oh, Okay." I said as I hurried and ran upstairs to get the best clothes I had in my closet. I knew this was a special day for me and I had no intentions for it to be ruined. I wore a long-sleeved polo shirt and on top of that a vintage-looking, brown sweater vest. I had jeans on and brown (nicely polished, if I may add) shoes. I put on a watch that my mother gave me, it's not working anymore but I still like to use it because it's pretty much the only thing I have left to remember my mom with. Anyway, I can honestly tell you that I was honest to my girlfriend in a way that I did tell her about the deaths rather suicides of my mom and my uncle. But I never trusted anyone, not even her, with the knowledge of me having an extreme grudge against my father. I mean, I am moving on and in order for me to do that is to just ignore it for now. Just ignore the fact that I absolutely hate my father, and I will tell Summer in my own time, but as for now--that secret's between me and myself. So I went upstairs, got dressed, and headed down only to see that Summer had undressed and was already in a cute dress in light blue. Damn. I shouldn't have hurried climbing up the stairs..... Sighing I waved at her. She giggled and said

"You know, you shouldn't have hurried--"

"I know, I missed the real show...."

She then kissed me on the cheek and smiled at me. Without warning she put a blindfold on my eyes, when I dared to touch said blindfold she scolded me

"Don't you even think about it"

I knew I couldn't see her face but I was sure that it would've been better to keep the blindfold on. At first I was a bit timid in living the apartment--I mean don't get me wrong, I trust Summer and her following directions with my life, but I'm not so trusting about myself being able to follow the instructions clearly because I can't even follow her "instructions" even when we're in bed--but with a bit more encouragement coming from her, I finally made it out of the apartment. Our apartment was a two story apartment and thus was very spacious yet it was a little on the expensive side but luckily for both of our scholarships, we were able to afford it. We were in the same classes and college level although I was two years younger than her.

"Come on smarty pants...." She said as I heard the car door open, she carefully maneuvered me in there.

"Watch your head"

"Very funny, you very well know that I can't see..." I said as I was a bit peeved off. I don't know why but whenever it gets dark or when there's not enough light I get a little cranky.

Later we finally got to our "date place," and I'm sure this is going to be one terrific date. Soon the car had stopped

"We're here Spencey," she said in such an endearing voice and that made me feel a little bit more at ease

She helped me outside the car and then she slowly removed my blindfold. I loved that about her, she causes me to be excited in anticipating stuff. She got the blindfold off and the next thing I notice was this amusement park. I turned around

"We're going to spend our date here?" She then smiled back

"Yep, I wanted us, just for this day, to feel like kids again. I wanted you to experience my childhood, full of amusement park rides and amusement park food."

"I don't--"

"Don't you dare say no.." She glared

She doesn't understand..Maybe that's because she's two years older than I am.. She doesn't understand me after all, but I shouldn't think that yet. Maybe it may help me, the food and rides.She then grabs my hand and pulls me to the nearest ride...

A teacup shaped sitting place and it just revolves and moves at the same time

Then after that she heads to the nearest coaster. Now that sacred the shit out of me.

She went to several more....with me attached to her hand....

Ten hours of non-stop rides and eating we were finally tired out. And I hat to admit it but it was fun and sort of therapeutic. Well, I guess it time to go. The park opens at 7 AM, exactly when we arrived, and closes at 5:30 PM. It's already five now, but we both seem to out of it to go on with the rides and food. Haha. So this is where our scholarship money will go, just kidding. But it sure was fun today, but anyway...We should prolly be going... I started to hold her hand and pull her towards the gate. When I heard a familiar voice.

"Nice to meet you again you little sonofabitch"

I turned around, only to see the bastard that ruined my entire life. It was him. the man I used to call my father.
