Ayumi stared at her legs the whole time that her father was talking, she couldn't bear to look up at him in fear that she would say something that she shouldn't. Every insult he made brought her closer and closer to the verge of tears until finally he sat down with his head in his hands. Her mother was inconsolable and Hinoe had a very disappointed look on her face and she watched their father yell and scream.
If only they hadn't found out about it, she could've waited a bit longer and told them herself but they had to find out themselves. At first, they thought it was Hinoe's and they were overjoyed but once Hinoe had denied everything and even took proved to them that she wasn't, it came straight for Ayumi and hit her hard.
"Get out of this house," he yelled, "I don't want you to ruin the family name."
Ayumi wiped away her tears and walked up to her room while thinking about where she should go, she debated whether she should go to Kishinuma's or Nakashima's. Going to Kishinuma's was probably going to make everything worse but she needed him at the moment.
She packed away her clothes that she would need but was stopped at the door by Hinoe, "Call me when you're at a friend's house to make sure you're safe and I'll try to convince mom and dad to let you come back, okay?" Ayumi shook her head and walked through the door. It wasn't particularly great for a seventeen-year-old girl to be walking out and about at 11 pm but she couldn't bear to be in a car with her father at the moment. She walked to Nakashima's but she wasn't there which was strange so she ended up walking to Kishinuma's. Yoshiki had given her his address just in case that she ever needed to talk so she doesn't bottle up her emotions, she didn't particularly need his help because Hinoe understood everything but it was useful tonight.
Kishinuma lived in the bad side of town, everything seemed to be okay if she walked down the main streets because they were packed with nightclubers and bouncers. After what seemed like an hour of walking, Ayumi finally made it to an old apartment building. She knocked on his door which was pretty old. "K-Kishinuma..." Yoshiki opened the door; still in his work uniform, he must've fallen asleep in it because he looked drowsy. "Shinozaki... It's pretty late," he said with a frown on his face, Ayumi couldn't contain her emotions and start crying inconsolably, she threw herself on to Yoshiki and cried into his shirt.
He stroked the top of her hair and wrapped his arms around her, "Shhh... Everything is going to be okay," she came out of his shirt, "c-can I stay the night?" Yoshiki nodded and opened the door so she could fully come in. Yoshiki's apartment was small and was only two rooms, the kitchen and living space were one while the bathroom was in another room. He only had a futon, mini fridge and cupboards, a guitar and an old computer at the end of the room. The bathroom only contained a traditional bath, toilet and a sink with a mirror, apart from a few loose clothes around the place; it was clean.
Ayumi sat down at the table while Yoshiki made her a warm tea, Yoshiki finally got the courage to ask Ayumi what she was doing but she evaded the question and went back to texting Hinoe. Yoshiki finally sat down and looked into her blue eyes, everything about her was perfect to him, he didn't need a girl with massive breasts; he loved Ayumi for who she was. "Yoshiki, can I have a bath?" She asked in a low quiet tone, he nodded, she grabbed her pyjamas and walked inside the bathroom. Yoshiki sighed and decided it was a good idea to put her clothes in a neat pile, he opened her suitcase and start with all the basic things, at the bottom... Was a pregnancy test which was positive.
Yoshiki nearly fell over, "Wh-what," he knew it wouldn't have a good outcome but he didn't regret it. He held the pregnancy test in his hand and stared at it blankly for what seemed like hours before Ayumi came out of the bathroom, "Kish-" she saw what he was holding. She start to hyperventilate and fell onto the ground with her hands around her legs, Yoshiki ran over to her and put his arms around her, "Sh... It will be okay.. We can figure this out," she shook her head and went back to crying.
It took about twenty minutes for her to finally stop, she now slowly rocked back and forwards while muttering irrelevant things. "Shinozaki, why don't you sleep on my futon and I will figure something out?" she nodded, the futon could probably fit two people but she wouldn't probably want to be with him right now. He held her hand until they made it to his futon and she had made it into the covers, she fell asleep right away. He grabbed a pillow and a blanket and laid down next to the futon, he stared into her now closed eyes and listened quietly to the small noises she was making. He couldn't manage to sleep because he was too busy thinking about being a father, was he ready? Not really, however he would be there for her in the time that she needed him most.
He was just starting to drift off when she sat up, let out a loud scream and started hyperventilating, "S-Shinozaki?" He wrapped his arms around her once more and laid with her on his futon, "Shh, it will be okay," she was sleep so peacefully after a few minutes, he didn't want to disturb her nor wanted to leave. He slowly drifted off while his arms were still wrapped around her in a protective cage.
