Corine Bailey Rae - Just Like a Star
I'm trying to learn how to play this song-- and I can't seem to get the right fucking chords. [frustrated she gently set her dad's guitar down before sighing a little]
I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from things or people or moments that hurt, but I took joy in the things that made me happy.
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane (via observando)
Wow, six? I couldn’t even imagine in being one. But it was good that you were adopted then; at least have that stability and security of a home with parents.
I wouldn’t say it sounds terrible I’d say you’re more accepting. Are you.. worried about him because of how he’d take it or..?
I got kicked out of a few for fighting. Some I instigated, I will admit, but. [shrugs a little bit before taking a drink of her coffee again] Yeah, it's been a rough and interesting few years but it could have been a lot worse. I love them.
I guess so -- death just doesn't affect me as much as it probably should. Yeah, I guess that's it. I mean, they've been together for over twenty years, that's-- that's my entire lifetime, so it's-- it's gonna be really hard for him when he passes.
Hm.
Looks like you & I can relate to the whole verbal-acuity-thing.
I guess you would get used to it.. I can’t really empathize with you there, I apologize. How many.. foster homes have you actually been in, if I can ask? I don’t mean to be nosy, I’m just curious.
That would be the best place for him; I mean, at least he wouldn’t be in a tough, uncomfortable hospital bed and be with the people that matter most to him, right?
No worries. About six. I was adopted three years ago, it was final adoption.
Yeah. I mean, it sounds terrible, but I'm not really worried about him or really me when he passes. More worried about my other dad.
Just okay?
I'm always okay.
Always.
How have you been?
I've been okay, I guess.
Don’t the babies just cry in that wing? I don’t get how that would be fun, but each to their own. Oh, shit, I’m sorry about that. He’ll be fine, won’t he?
I don't notice the crying. Growing up in different foster homes & orphanages, you get used to the crying until it gets to a point where it's just white noise. But babies are cute to look at, and when you're stuck here for a days on end, you find entertainment in the small things. [she shrugs a little before taking a drink of her coffee]
Probably not. We're probably taking him home soon to get him comfortable.
That… really doesn’t sound thrilling at all. Why are you there in the first place, may I ask?
It's not, unfortunately. Going through the baby wing was kind of fun, though. One of my dad's is sick.
[Shoves her paperwork from her appointment into her bag before studying her] Sorry, stupid question, we’re in a hospital. Uh, what’s, what’s wrong?
[she bites down on her bottom lip, zoning out for a second as she put her stuff in her bag before running a hand through her hair.] Its fine. [shakes her head quickly] One of my dad's has HIV.
Well that’s no fun. I’m supposed to make you look sad. How do I do that when you’re already there?
Don't you have sort of a knack for making people feel shittier about themselves when they're like this especially, no?
That sounds mind numbing. Is everything okay?
Just a bit. [rubs the back of her neck before laughing a little, she had never been good with emotional things] Um, not really, no. There's just not much to do about it, yeah?
I think I've seen about every hospital floor there is to see.
Hm?
Oh. Hey there, sunshine.
Hey. You okay?
Three years ago? So, how old are you now then? God…I’m sorry. That’s really rough. How are you holding up…? My bad if I seem intrusive. Queens! Lost my accent when I moved here, but I generally slip back into it when I go home.
I'm nineteen, turning twenty in August. No, it's okay. It's just hard on my other dad. I don't live with them anymore so I don't have to deal with it every day and like watch and stuff... But, it sucks. I'm sort of emotionally stunted. Yeah? Very cool, I lived in Oregon. I don't think we have accents.
One of your dads? As in, you have more than one? Right on, right on. What’s he sick with? If that’s not too personal to ask. New York, New York — that’s my homeland. Good choice in destination!
Yeah, they adopted me three years ago. He's got HIV. [looks down a for a moment before rubbing the back of her neck, looking up at her] Sort of sucks, I mean, he's had it for a while, it's just kicking into full gear. Yeah? What part? I loved your homeland.
