Chapter1: If only
If I could tell someone about the day it all started it would probably be 2 years ago and 3 weeks before my birthday.
My parents were having another fight and of course it started over something stupid.
My birthday.
I was 11 about to turn 12 and I thought I got it all figured out. I would get into a boarding school far away. I thought my life would be better if I was far away. Today's argument was no different even if I had the stereo blasting. I heard a glass shatter and covered my ears.
I looked at the window then and then at my door which was closed and locked tight. I think this was the thing that led to all of the events. If only I had stayed in my room and not climbed out my window.
I sat on the park bench and pushed my hair out of my face. It was dark and no one was there, it was so quiet. I remember thinking to myself that it was easy to get taken. I remember putting my headphones from my iPod in my ears and closing my eyes. I knew that no one is around so I sang loudly.
Got it all figured out inside of my head. There's a bag packed up at the foot of my bed. You say the word, baby I'm all set. We'll cover our tracks tell a few white lies…
If I hadn't sang the tall men in black would not have known I was there. If only my parents hadn't started arguing about my birthday I would never have sneaked out. If I hadn't sneaked out I would not have been in the park. If only I hadn't sang loudly I would have saw heard the men and they wouldn't have heard me. But I guess if I hadn't done all of these things then I would have not met Nagi.
