Chapter 1 : " Hope "

5 years. No, 10 years...

I've lived in the hospital for 10 years. Well not entirely my whole life. There were times when I was discharged, But , A few days later I'll be sent back once again.

I was one of those people who were born with a frail and weak body, Other than being weak And frail. I easily get sick, So yeah. That's the reason why I've lived in the hospital for 10 years.

So probably now your thinking how pitiful I am. How un-lucky and how miserable my life must have been. And in my case, Truthfully. I feel the same way...

" I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the way I feel so hopeless, I'm sick of the treatment I get from my family, I'm sick of the feeling I get every single day with out anyone to talk to, I've lost hope Years ago. And maybe in my entire life if I continue to live in this lonely place. "

I looked at my right wrist." Melody Suzuki. " The name tag attached on my right wrist, It's been years since anybody has called my nickname well except for me, Obviously. I seriously want to get out of this hospital. Oh I wish an opportunity would just pop out, An opportunity to get me out of this place.

Is it just me or am I hearing familiar voices?

" I wish that sickly daughter of yours was never born, She's such a nuisance to our 's worthless. Because of her. Some of our money is wasted."

Don't worry my sweet Kikyou, We wouldn't worry about her once we enroll her to that boarding school. No more expensive expenses for our family.

" So my guess was correct. Those voices belonged to my ' father ' and to my ' step-mother ' Wait. Weren't they talking about a boarding school? My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the loud voices of my so-called parents, Who have. Just now, Entered my room.

Were getting you out of this hospital. For the past years. Your hospital expenses have increased greatly, Were sick of paying for your all the money we've wasted on you, You still aren't getting better. So were enrolling you to a certain boarding school.

After we get you enrolled there we will never care for you again, I'm so happy. We will have more money for ourselves, right my dear husband?

" Of course, My sweet Kikyou, "

Is this for real? Am I dreaming. I'm finally getting out of this place, I paid no attention to their public display of affection in front of me. Suddenly, i heard the piercing words of my Step mother. Which literally hurt my feelings.

" You know after all this years. I really, Really wished you were never born. Me-lo-dy. "

After all the years they've left me to suffer here alone. This is what i get from my step mom? I felt the tears strolling down my face. 10 years..., 10 whole years with out anyone to be with who truthfully loves me.

" We are discharging you now, Because tomorrow you will start attending the school. "

But father. How am I supposed to study there when i haven't even finished middle school? Since I've spent my life here for 10 years. I'm now 15 but i haven't finished middle school due to my health.

I hid my face from the embarassment of not being able to finish middle school. My step mother had that " Your-such-a-shame-to-the-family face. "

" Do you think I'm that stupid? The school is a music school. I've talked to the principal about that matter, What kind of stupid question is that. "

I'm..., I'm sorry father. You should have told me that it was a music school, I mumbled. The cold air has dried my tears. And right now I could feel their piercing stares at me. Well good thing they stopped staring since' dad 'started to speak.

" Your stuff is already in your dorm. Were dropping you there today. "

Ok.., This is moving quite fast. No wait it's not quite, It is fast.

It's like, They come in to my room after some months to tell me They're sick of paying lots of money because of me. Then my ' great step mother ' tells me that " I should have never been born. " Then now they're totally getting rid of me by sending me to a boarding school which I'm a little bit happy about. That's a nice conversation after not meeting me for some months. What ' great parents 'they are, You know they should get the ' Best Loving Parents ' award.

I packed the few things I had in my hospital room. After packing my stuff. I followed my parents to their luxurious car.

Finally I'm out of this horrid place. But I'm not all that happy about what I heard from my step mother. Heck nobody would be happy if you were told that you should have never been born. They don't understand me at all. And precisely, They never will.

I looked at the window. I didn't notice how fast time flew. I just stared at the Bright lights with different colors. I placed my right palm unto the window I saw a big walls, After some time We were already in front of a big gate.

This is it. I wish this place will bring out the old me that has died many many years ago. I wish that somebody would want to be friends with a person like me.

This school is a music school, " Music " It's one of the things I lost in my life many many years ago. I've lost many things. Many many important things. Not just things, But I've lost people too.

I wonder, Can I bring back the things that I've lost?

Perhaps, There might be a small chance to bring back what I've . Just maybe there is still hope for me. Just a little bit of hope for me to..." To Dream On. "
