Today is my birthday and i am 8 years old. i ran into my mothers room and started to jump on her bed waking her up

" it's my birthday mum" i shout still jumping around the bed

" happy birthday sweetheart i can't believe that you are now 8 where has my little girl gone" Cynthia said not quite believing that India is that age already the time has went past so quickly that it scares Cynthia

" im right here mum im still your little girl"

India and Cynthia went downstairs where Cyn started to make India some chocolate chip pancakes when Hollie can into the kitchen

Hollie is now 4 and she is a complete dream she is a quite child who likes playing by herself she is so opposite to India. India is like her dad she has Johns eyes and she has John's personality she can be funny but she is hard work also but she is loving and caring while Hollie is like me she is quite like me and she looks just like me which i love 

" hoppy birdy India" Hollie said running towards India

" oh thanks Hollie" 

India still does not like Hollie because they are so different they can't connect they dont play together because Hollie ends up annoying India and then hollie gets upset and its to much drama they both love each other but they cannot get on

India was sat quietly tucking into her pancakes

" where is Daddy is he still in bed"

" no India he had a errand to run he should be back soon "

Cynthia and India were dancing around the room to jailhouse rock when John returned home with Yoko

" oh you listening to Elvis again"

India turned around and her face lit up when she saw him

" Daddy she squealed and ran to him and hugged him tightly

" i take it you missed your dad then" he asked laughing

" yeah i did lots and lots and lots"

" well i heard it was someones birthday today"

" oh its mine daddy im now 8 im a big girl now"

" you are growing up far to quickly for my liking"

' don't be silly daddy it took me ages to turn 8"

" i got you a present"

" oh what did you get me " India asked excited as she loved getting presents

John placed in her hands a new elvis record

" oh daddy you got me elvis can i play it now daddy? thank you so much i love it"

" you can play it later as your uncles are coming over  you can play it then and get uncle ringo to dance with you"

" yeah that sounds like alot fun"

" there is something that i have to tell you first though" John said turning serious which made India feel uneasy

John sat down on the sofa and India sat beside him

" what is it daddy?"

" well i  have to leave tonight to go to America for a month or so as me and Yoko are opening a art gallery over there"

John was expecting India to be upset and he was surprised when she smiled and looked happy

" oh that's cool i have always wanted to go to America is mummy coming with us"

" no India it is just me and Yoko going this time"

" so you are leaving me again"

" only for a month or so"

" why do you have to go to America?"

" because America is where its happening the art scene there is huge and it is a great place to open a gallery"

" why are you always wanting to get away from me. it feels like you don't want me no more"

" India darling you know i love you and i love being with you "

" then prove it to me and stay"

" i cant angelface i have to go"

" stop lying you dont have to go you want to go"

" i do want to go but that does not mean i am trying to get away from you"

" why dont you go and live there for all i care" India shouted her lennon temper rising

" do not speak to your dad like that" Cynthia shouted

" why not its not like he cares about me he is leaving me again i should be used to it by now"

" india i do not always leave you you are being a drama queen now"

" no im not you left before then came back married to yoko"

" that was one time"

" and now you are doing it again. Why cant you be like every other dad and stay and look after your kids"

" i do look after you and Hollie" 

" you look after Hollie i bet if she was 8 she would be going with you."

" India you are being stupid"

'no im not stupid daddy you have been so different since you have been with Yoko."

" how am i different?"

" well you spend no time with me you and yoko spend lots of time with Hollie because Hollie likes Yoko and because Hollie is perfect and im just a hand full"

" india this attention seeking needs to stop your 8 now your not a little girl no more"

" im being honest you do like Hollie more i bet you wish i was not here."

John's temper was reaching breaking point he honestly could not handle anymore of India's attitude

" i bet you wish you only had her as a daughter" India continued pushing her dads buttons

" you know what your right i do love Hollie more than you and yeah i wish she was my only daughter she is so well behaved not like you with your attitude so yes i do love Hollie way more than you are you happy now" John  shouted losing his temper

" i hate you" India screamed running out of the room her eyes filled with tears

John sat on the sofa and once he calmed down he regretted what he said of course he did not love Hollie more than India he loved his girls the same but the anger in him made him blurt out those cruel things he said and he knew for sure that he had messed up big time with india
