(Don't You) Forget About Me (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
He scanned the room, searching for us. You were lying on one of the cots set up for anyone who had frostbite or heat stroke. Both of your feet were wrapped in bandages. I had been sitting on a cold metal chair, swinging my legs because they didn’t reach the floor. I froze when he walked in. I’d seen other kids my age run to their fathers, screaming, “Daddy!” It puzzled me; my instinct had always been to run to him and then kick him in the shins. He was made of secrets and lies, many more than I could count at four years old, but that wasn’t what made me hate him. He mostly ignored me, but sometimes—as if he was testing me—he’d stare at me and I would feel my heart squeeze like he was trying to pull it from my chest. The whole time he’d have that oily smile on his face, but behind it his teeth were clenched. Now he walked straight past me, and took the chair on the other side of the cot. “It’s going to be okay,” he said, taking your hand in his own. His saying it made it feel true—to you at least.
