‘Go on, Blossom,’ Billy urged, pointing at the cracked brown teapot on the
table. ‘Give it what for. Smash it to smithereens.’
I tightened my hold on the cricket bat, psyching myself up as Survivor’s
Eye of the Tiger blasted in my ears. Come on. You can do it!
The music segued into We Will Rock You by Queen. I looked at Billy and
laughed with embarrassment. ‘I’m sorry but I just can’t.’
‘Why not?’
‘I don’t know. It would seem . . . bad!’
I’d just watched in fascinated horror as Billy picked up an old golf club
and swiped with a surprising amount of relish at a cluster of drinking
glasses on a nearby table. The noise of glass shattering and breaking all
over the floor had made me wince – and feel mightily relieved I’d given the
open-toed sandals a body swerve that sunny-skied morning in early May.
Now, Billy was aiming the club at a picture on the wall.
I braced myself. It wasn’t a great picture and the frame was broken and a
bit mouldy-looking. But that wasn’t the point. Someone had spent time
painting those sheep and those hills, and it pinched at my soul to see it
destroyed.
I’d always been a bit of a wimp . . . too soft for my own good, as my
sister Skye was forever reminding me – but this was ridiculous! I mean, the
whole point of Billy booking this Smash-’Em-Up session was supposed to
be so that I could take out my anger at my mother lying to me all my life –
by bashing the hell out of a range of inanimate objects! Because after the
shocking revelation that the man I’d thought for years was my dad actually
wasn’t, Ada was still sticking to her new and rather dubious (I thought)
story that it had been a one-night-stand mistake and she’d been too ashamed
to tell everyone that . . .
Billy smashed the picture – sheep, hills and all – off the wall with a shout
of glee and began hammering at it with the weathered old golf club. ‘You
need to try it. It’s so therapeutic.’ He handed me the club. ‘Give it some
welly! Go on, you know you want to.’
‘But that’s the point. I don’t want to. I’m not a violent person.’
‘And you think I am?’
I couldn’t actually see if he was grinning beneath the really rather
sinister-looking protective head-gear he was wearing, but I knew he would
be.
Billy was always smiling. And he was quite possibly the least violent
person I’d ever met.
‘Sorry, I thought it might cheer you up a bit,’ he said, removing his headgear. ‘But you’re definitely not getting your money’s worth here.’
‘I’m enjoying watching you, though,’ I said, which wasn’t strictly true.
Removing my own head-gear, I grinned at him. ‘I’m pathetic. I know.
