The main purpose of me coming to a school in England is so I could visit my dad. Being sent here over behavior issues is kind of ironic since my dad is in jail. I'm sure I had some time I could've came and see him but I've been scared to meet him. He did abandon my mom when he found out she was pregnant. I doubt he even wants to see me. It's summer now so no ones even going to question where I'm going because the only two people left at the house are out. Jerome's at Alfies for a few days and Trudy is out with her daughter since she trusts me to tend the house well. I push all my fear down to the bottom of my stomach as soon as I step out of the taxi and pay. I walk in the jail and get my visitors pass and get searched to make sure I don't have anything. I can't believe I'm finally meeting my father after 14 years. The officer points to him. My dad. He's sitting down at a table his head down staring at his hands. I sit in the chair across from him and he finally looks up. He gives me a wide smile and his eyes get glossy. "Is this real" he asks and a tear slips from his eye. I grab his hand that on the table tears forming in my own eyes "it sure is". We talk until the guard tells me I have to leave. I hug him across the table and watch as they take him out of the visiting room. I come to visit him frequently over the summer and we learn more about each other. I found out that I have a brother my age and a younger sister from a different mom. I was telling him about the boys I've "fancied" this year. I was telling him about Fabian. Then I was telling him about how I thought Jerome was hot when a sudden realization hit me. I gasped and my dad looked at me and asked "what". "Jerome Clarke is my brother isn't he" I asked. "Yes" my dad sighed. "Why doesn't he visit" I ask. How could he not want to see this incredible man? "I think he blames me for being sent to Anubis House. It is my fault but he would've ended up there by year 7 anyway. We've always been a poor family. I was trying to get us some extra cash but I fucked everything up like I normally do" my dad says as he begins to sob. "You do not fuck everything up dad! Jerome would forgive you if he would give you a chance. You're an amazing man!" I tell my dad and reach over and wipe his tears away. He grabs my hands and squeezes them. "Thank you Nina! Thank you for giving me a chance" he says. "You're my dad! I've barely got any family left I can't go around ignoring what I've got" I say and squeeze his hand back. We agree that I won't tell Jerome or my younger sister who I've come to find out her name is Poppy that I'm their sister but I'm going to start putting letters from dad in Jerome's mail since Jerome got letters from the jail blocked from getting sent to him. I take a stack of past letters dad has written and head on my way back to the house. I slip all but one in my purse. When I walk in the house I holler for Jerome, he comes out of his room looking like he's been asleep for three days. Which is actually a possibility with him. "This was on the doorstep for you" I say and hold out the letter. He rips it from my hands and heads back to his room. I smirk knowing soon my plan will play out and he'll go see dad. Maybe we can be a family soon.
