1909 was one of the worst years for me and my siblings both our parents left us. My mother died and almost immediately my father left, leaving me a 16 year old girl and my three older brothers to look after my little sister Ada and a new born baby, Finn. That same year I had been attacked, leaving a scar across my neck. Of course my brothers found who did it and beat them so badly that his face was unrecognisable. After the attack every dress I wore had a turtle neck, now I don't care. I'm a fucking Shelby so no one dares to try and harm me now.
I walk into the house laughing with aunt Polly, we make our way to the kitchen when she stops in her tracks. There is my father sat at the table with Arthur. John is leaning against the counter tops with his arms crossed while Finn is stood next to him looking confused
"YN, my goodness how you've grown. Look a lot like you mother" he smiles at me
"Why are you here?" I ask him with a disgusted face
"Came to visit my children"
"10 years to late Arthur"
"Arthur.." he chuckles "I'm your dad" earning a scoff from me
"Maybe dad would like a sandwich?" Arthur asks looking at Polly. She angrily throws together a sandwich and places it in front of him. Arthur Sr then prays earning a scoff from Polly and a string of cursing
"Please woman not in vain"
"Finnish your sandwich and sling ya hook" aunt Polly says with distaste
"Pollyanna, I'm a guest of the head of this family. So why don't you and YN maybe tend to your mangle and scuttle?"
"The head of the family ain't here" John says. I walk away from the kitchen door arch and over to John and Finn. That's when Arthur Sr looks at Arthur Jr, Arthur gulps then begins talking
"Tommy.. uh.. he sometimes helps me with uh... with business dad"
"Dad" i scoff crossing my arms. Just then Tommy walks in who looks like he's seen a ghost
"Aye well, speak of the devil" Arthur Sr stands up "how are you son?"
"Get out"
"Come on son I'm a changed man"
"This family needed you 10 years ago. YN needed you 10 years ago"
"I heard. I'm sorry about what happened YN"
"Your sorry? your fucking sorry?" I yell "you walked out on us and then you knew what had happened and you still didn't come to see me?"
"YN you have to understand that after your mother..."
"Do not talk about my mother"
"YN..."
"Get out of this house" Tommy says as tears start to fall down my face
"Tommy he's different"
"Shut up" Poll says
"It's alright son. Arthur Shelby never stays where he's not welcome" Arthur stands up and grabs all of his belongings "quite something you've become" he then walks out of the house. I hear the door open then close. Silence washes over the room
"He's our dad" Arthur says making Tommy sigh
"He's a selfish bastard"
"You calling someone a selfish bastard?"
"Arthur" I groan
"I'm just saying it's a bit rich from Tommy. I mean thanks to you... we're already down a bloody sister"
"If you want to see him, Arthur. You wanna see him you go with him" Arthur gets up off his chair and begins to walk out
"But remember Arthur where that man was when our YN was clinging on for dear life. Who was there holding her hand in the hospital after..." John rubs his face
"He knew what happened to me and he never came to check to see if I was ok. I love you Arthur, your my eldest brother but I hate that man and I will never want to see him again" with that the door opens and shuts it behind him
"That was our dad?" Finn asks, I had almost forgotten he was here
"No, that Finn was the man who walked out on us after our mother died after giving birth to you. He's no dad of ours" I tell my baby brother before walking out of the kitchen myself.
