"Come here my little brandy snap, I have a gift for you." I run as fast as I can over to my father, my yellow dress with blue polka dots ripples in the wind, the natural ringlets in my shoulder length hair bonce with every step I take, I hold onto my hat so as to stop it from blowing off. "What is it dad?" I ask intently. He hands me a small blue box with silver calligraphy over it. I open the box, lying on the white cushioning inside, lies a small orange bracelet. The band is a shiny silver, threaded into the silver are large glass beads lined with the same beautiful metal as the band. Underneath the glass is different orange patters, one has small flowers with yellow and gold centers, another has orange wave like patters all over it. "I love it!" I say. "Will princess Scarlet please put out her hand so that the knight of candy can place the jewels on her majesty's person?" he asks in his most royal, English accent. I hold out my arm, he places the bracelet on my wrist and attaching the clip to the first hole, making it secure on my arm. He pulls me in for a huge, "I love you princess Scarlet" dad whispers in my ear. "I love you too candy knight" I push out of the hug, kissing dad on the forehead and run off to join my friends. "Scarlet, come back here, I still need to give you your birthday kisses. Its seven this year!".
This is one of the best memories I have of my father. It was one of the few things about him I have dismissed from my memory. That's what I really didn't want to do,get rid of dad but the school counsellor insisted. Fucking idiot. She told me to let go, he was gone now and I wasn't allowed to think of him, ever. It would make my life so much better if I was to just banish my father from my mind. Seeing her was the worst decision if my life, but I had no where else to go. My brother was always crying in his room and mum was just going mad. I put in so much effort to forget him, I was doing so well for years. Then for the first time in three months, Blade left his room.
Apart from the odd trip to the toilet and when he opened the door so I could give him food, he never left his room. I almost fainted when I saw him at the foot of my bed when I woke up one day. "Hey" was the first thing he had said you me since he went in his room for the first time. "You know, your counsellor, Mrs Anesteen, she is fucked up if she is telling you to forget dad." Blade never swore, he never minded me swearing but he hated the noise that they made. At least that's what he told me. "She has no right in saying that, what we should be doing is remembering him with all our heart. Memories and possessions is all we have left, so we need to make do, but know that dad wouldn't want to be forgotten. Now I'm going to have a shower then I am leaving this house." With that he got up off my bay window, turned around and left. We didn't see him for six days. As selfish as it sounded, it felt so good not to have him around.
With that small speech, knowing that blade was getting better and realizing remembering dad wasn't bad, for the first time in months I smiled...
