Summary:

In a distant future, there sits a woman who has seen her fair share of heart breaks, pain, and love. Along side her stands her son with a hand on her shoulder. He stands there waiting to see his mother of earlier times but with each passing day he grows more and more impatient with his mother's recovery until one day he waits no longer.

Chapter One:

"Mom...you okay?" the young mad said worrying about his mother

The mother sighed "Yea..." holding her son's hand "he'll be back, he always does"

"...Mom, why are you sitting here still waiting for him?" the son said agitated "You deserve..."

Before he could finish the mother said "Shh...I wait because I love him, son"

"If he loved you then he'd be here with us! He left us mom, why can't you...why can't you see that!"
"You don't understand son, he's been there for me more times than you know..."
"Me?...me not understand? Mom he's been gone for years! Where is he now, huh mom? You hold out hope for someone who abandoned us!" the son said as he stormed out of his mother's room

The mother sighed and started to cry as she stared out her window watching the night sky so similar to the night he proposed to her. She held herself with her arms as she quietly said to herself....

"You just don't understand...I know he'll be back" the blonde heiress said

Years Earlier

There lived a family who was filled with love and compassion. The family consisted of a wife, her husband, and her seven year old son. Together they lived in harmony on top of a hill where the wife and husband used to live. On their wedding anniversary the wife and husband decided to take a sea voyage around the world and be back in time for their son's birthday...sadly fate had other plans for this peaceful family.

A storm brewed up and threw the ship off course...Dark Clouds illuminated the sky and soon after the clouds cried to their hearts content. The sky soon screamed out with rage and anger, the sea thrashed around making the ship toss and turn as if it was the sea's play thing, and the winds howled and raced hitting the ship with a force unimaginable.

The captain was screaming "MOVE! Get to the holding areas and stay away from the windows!". Mothers and fathers were grabbing their children and running while the kids were crying, holding onto their parents for their lives. Boyfriends were holding onto their girlfriends(and/or boyfriends) and running around the deck frantically.

The couple we're focused on was there in the middle of the crowd also holding onto each other and heading for the holding area. The wind picked up as if it was a sign signaling them the end of their lives and the sea crashed even more ferocious than before. The thunder and lightning was even more loud and damaging than before as well. A wave hit the deck of the ship sweeping some of the patrons off their feet including the young man.

"HARIMA!!!!" the woman screamed with tears in her eyes and her hand reaching out

"ERI!!!!" Harima yelled trying to reach the hand but was interrupted by a wave

"NO....NO...NO!!!!!!" Eri yelled as she saw her husband fall to the ever so cruel ocean "HARIMA!!!"

"Don't worry, I'll be back I promise!" Harima said with tears in his eyes and a smile on his face before he hit the ocean's surface

Before Eri could answer, a sailor grabbed her hand and said "Miss, you need to be at the holding area!" And like that, Eri was in the holding area trying to figure out what happened with tears still in her eyes. Others around her were also crying and one was crying for the same reason as she was.

In Eri's mind all she could see was Harima falling to the ocean's arms telling her that he'd be back. In that moment, even if she didn't say it, even if no one heard it, she vowed to hold out hope for her husband....No matter how long.

Present Day

Eri was still sitting in the chair she'd been sitting in. That chair had it's own history within this family. It was there when Eri fed her child, it was there when Eri was proposed by Harima, and it was there now. Eri felt the handles of the chair and felt Harima's embrace. She thought she felt a hand on her shoulder but only found nothing when she turned to confront it. Eri sighed as she said "You know it's hard waiting..." She imagined he'd laugh and say "Then don't wait, get up and do something." then he'd smile and hold her until the sun rose. Eri slowly rose from the chair and walked the steps she'd walk every night, to her bed. As she lay down she'd let one more tear fall from her cheek and as it hit the floor, she hit the bed and fall into a deep slumber.

The next morning she rose to see Harima next to her but found that the nightmare was reality. She got up and watched the birds sing to welcome the beautiful day, she only gritted her teeth. As beautiful the day was, her day was empty without him.

She was awakened by the sudden noise of sound the door made as it was pushed open by her now calm son.

"Mom...I'm sor-" the son started

"It's alright" Eri interrupted "I understand how you feel but I love him so very much"

"Why though...he left you!"

"I think it's time you learned the truth..." Eri said choking on every word "He didn't leave me...I mean us son..."

Eri told her son about the voyage and sudden storm. Even about how she decided to lie to him about the whereabouts of Harima.

"When the police stopped why didn't you?" Eri's son asked tripping with his words "Why don't you stop loving him!"

"Do you really want to know why I love him?"

"Yeah!" the son admitted finally "I want to know why you still hold onto him!"

Eri just smiled as she motioned her son to sit down at her table while she grabbed her chair and put it at the table.

"It all starts at when I was at High School"

To Be Continued....

Author's Note

So, it's the beginning of something I had in my mind. Do you like it? Or should I just kill it? Now I know the idea is kinda well you know, out there and I'm stretching out the character-ness of them but still. And the son really doesn't have name, I'm not good at giving character names but if you'd like to name him then please leave a review with a name. If I someone had this idea I'm sorry and I didn't mean to. Please read and review and thanks for reading the start of my story.
