09 - "No happy endings, Avy"

He never said Avy to me, he'd always call me flower, princess or angel, my father. He drove off and never came back, those were the last words he ever said to me. Mother came to school a few hours later, apparently panicking but impeccably dressed as always (that white mink coat always reminds me of Cruella De Vil, it's a look that really suits her).

Sometimes I forget what he looked like, there are no pictures of him, he was always the one behind the camera. He failed me for the first and only time and they told me he was broken, that something was missing in his life but it's not true. He just had too much of everything and most of all he had what made him the man he was and that so many others are lacking: a truthful, beating heart.
