Asty

Asty cuddled up into her armchair, turning pages of a family album. Last night hadn’t been pleasant, but Dad took it better than she thought. He was a bit awkward about it, but he promised to help her out, and she imagined talking it through with his friends helped him cope.

In the old pictures, Bell and Asty were dressed in new pajamas as they unpacked their gifts in front of the tree. Mom still wore that silly hairdo she had in the early 2000s, and Dad didn’t yet have a single grey hair. After the pictures had been taken, the four of them spent the day stuffing themselves full in the company of their friends. The biker brothers had many children at the time, all a similar age, which resulted in an epic snow battle outside. In the mornings, Asty would frequently climb into her parents’ bed and wake them up. In the evenings, Mom would read to her until Asty was in her teens and started finding it embarrassing. Then, at thirteen, Bell started spending more time at the garage and for some time didn’t have much patience for his baby sister.

Asty looked at the photographs of a young Beelzebub repairing a car under the supervision of good old Don. If she didn’t know the truth, she’d assume it was a joke picture, but her brother’s interest in bikes and cars really ran that deep at an early age.

As Asty browsed the album further, all the memories of her family—both good and bad—were somehow recorded on its pages. There was that year when Dad wasn’t allowed home on Thanksgiving. It was the year when Mom found out Dad was still seeing Lucky, whom he had with another woman. Thankfully, the two of them worked it all out later.

In the more recent photos, Dad sat on the sofa with Bell, Lucky, and her, but Mom wasn’t in the picture this time. Come to think of it, not a single photo ever caught all of Asty’s family. A conflict always prevented them from doing so, and now that Mom and Bell were dead, there was no way to amend that. She blinked, fighting her tears when she opened the album on an empty page and slid two new pictures in. Both were of Mom in the hospital. Thin, ghastly pale, and with short hair that was barely growing back after the chemo. She had her journals on the bedside table. They were all she could think of in the last days of her life. A legacy she wanted to leave for Asty. Last instructions that needed to be followed.

Asty closed the album and cradled it against her chest. She hated that her mom’s wishes once again were in conflict with Lucky’s. He deserved to have a sister, just like Bell deserved to come back, but Lucky at least had Tooth, and Dad needed to be reunited with his beloved son. Asty knew he loved her too, but their relationship was somewhat awkward, nothing like the closeness Dad had shared with Bell.
