Reconnecting With My Dad John

everything is gone.

Something about me felt different. What it was, That I didn't know. I felt certain that something was wrong. It's like a feeling in the pit of my stomach that I couldn't understand the meaning of it.

The way people were treating me and looking at me felt like they knew something was wrong but everything seemed normal to me.

I turned my head and looked at the lady sitting next to me. She had blonde hair and pretty big glasses and she had a real kind face and again I got that feeling in my stomach that something about her was familiar but I've never seen her before so I couldn't understand why I was feeling like that.

"Why are you still here?" I asked genuinely wondering what was keeping her here.

"Because you're my daughter and I'm not leaving you."

"I'm sorry I think you're mixing me up with another little girl as your not my mummy."

"I'm not mixed up sweetie, you had an accident and you've lost your memory."

I looked at her like she has lost her mind I'm totally fine there is nothing wrong with my memory.

"you're crazy of course I can remember."

"What's your name?." Cyn asked

"That's easy ask me a harder question."

"No answer the one I already asked you please"

"Ok my name is Princess."

Cyn couldn't help but smile Princess was what John always called Tilly when she was 4. Tilly only realized at about age 5 her name was Tilly.

"No that's wrong. Princess is a nickname that your daddy calls you. What's your real name?"

I thought for a while but I really didn't know. There was nothing in my head. I felt like my head was empty.

"I'll give you a clue it begins with the letter T" cyn added

I began to cry totally feeling overwhelmed and confused as to what was happening.

"I don't know"

"It's ok don't get upset."

Cyn tried to hug her but Tilly moved away

"It's ok Tilly it's just the accident making you forget stuff but it will be ok."

"What accident?."

Cyn took a deep breath. She didn't know how to answer that question. Tilly was 15 years old but she felt 4. Cyn wanted to answer in a way that won't scare her too much as mentally she was 4 and all that information can be too much for her to process. Cyn also thought that maybe if she knew she was shot it might trigger a memory that might help bring her back.

"A bad man shot you sweetie"

"what" Tilly screamed

"A man with a gun shot me?"

"Yes"

"But why?"

"Because he wanted to hurt your daddy"

My head was buzzing and it began to hurt. I didn't understand what was happening. How could I have been shot?. Who shoots a 4 year old?"

"I want my daddy please" I cried completely overwhelmed.

John had left earlier to go back home to the Dakota to tell Yoko about the latest developments.

"Your daddy has gone back to Yoko but he will be back later"

"Who's Yoko?."

Cyn wanted The world to go back to how it used to be. She knew what happened between herself and John happened years ago but it still hurt and she was left wondering.

How is she gonna explain Yoko to Tilly?.
