Life Story
Chapter 1
The Start
Sakiwa Saemi was your typical average girl living your typical average life. She lived in a 2-storey bungalow with her mother, father, younger brother and older sister and almost anything a girl could wish for. However, she, being the middle child, was constantly bullied and tricked by her siblings. She didn't mind, though. It was quite fun, really, and it brought all three of them closer.
Her looks were average (Its what she thinks), her grades were average and even her social life was average. She absolutely loved watching anime and also collected soft toys. Currently, she has almost 200 soft toys, but mainly because they were small soft toys with only very few large ones. She thought her life was perfect, especially since her parents did not seem to argue very much.
How wrong she was. It all started on a slightly rainy weeknight during the December holidays when she had just turned 13 and her sister was home from England (college vacation ^^).
Saemi sat down on the couch, knees drawn up, arms hugging a pillow. She was at the TV room upstairs, watching a horror-slash-comedy movie on television with her brother and sister. After a while, she decided she was bored, since she's seen the movie before, and went into her room. Almost immediately, she dashed out again, upon hearing her siblings laugh at some hilarious scene.
Still stupidly holding onto the pillow, Saemi watched from the doorway of her room as the idiotic servant exposed his vampire master to the sunlight in an attempt to get away from the enemy. Suddenly, Saemi heard a cry that sounded suspiciously like 'Iie!!' coming from her parents' bedroom. She whipped her head in that direction just in time to see her mother run downstairs. She blinked. Two seconds after, her father came running out of the room, apparently giving chase.
When she turned her head towards her siblings, they merely shrugged and turned their attention towards the television once more. However, being the worrywart she was, Saemi made up her mind to follow her parents and find out what was wrong.
When she reached the main hall, she froze in shock. Her mother was attempting to open the front door and get away from the house while her father was struggling to keep the door locked and her mother in the house. But what really shocked her was the fact that her mother was crying.
"Saemi! Go call up your aunts! Go!" Duero yelled upon seeing her.
In contrast, Saemi's mom, Kitori, screamed, "Iie! No! Don't Saemi, don't!!"
Saemi didn't move. She was in too much of a shock. In all her 13 years, she had never seen her parents argue, much less fight. She had never even seen her mother cry, for goodness' sake! SO, she just stood there, rooted to the ground, still clutching the pillow to her heart, not knowing at all what to do.
Finally giving up, Kitori pulled away and ran to the prayer room (they're Catholics) and slammed the door shut and, judging by the soft 'click' behind it, locked it. Sighing, Duero walked upstairs again. Once her father was out of sight, Saemi let out a small sob and ran upstairs, into her bedroom in a flash.
For nearly an hour, with the door locked, she lay down on the bed, sobbing into her pillow. What she had just seen really frightened her. Finally, she stopped when she heard her aunts had arrived and they were going out for supper. Later, during the supper, Saemi's parents seemed to have already made up. Everyone was happy. They all talked and laughed during supper. Everyone. except Saemi.
From that night on, Saemi always felt and acted a little subdued on Thursday nights. Everyone understood, of course. After all, Thursday was the day she saw her parents fighting violently (for her) for the first time. And Thursday would always be the day she would remember.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
AN: Eurgh, this is so crappy. Actually, I didn't make the fight seem as bad as it was. And also, most of this chapter is based on a real life experience, hence the title 'Life Story'. However, I made it so crappy, you're most probably laughing your ass off. Whatever, just review please! Thanx a ton! - said by the most gila person on Earth.
P/S: I have no idea what rating this should be, or what genre, apart from romance for the later chappies. Help me?
P/P/S: This piece of crap is dedicated to all of me fwenz who helped me by simply existing and being my fwenz.. Five of them will appear in the next chapter ^^
