Chapter ONE: Causes of Her Miserable Life
You can die anytime but living takes courage…That's a little quote, a little saying in which I believe was true. It's a choice. There's always a choice. You can give your life up anytime you want. I have this friend of mine. She's important to me but she can't see that. She can't see herself as an important person. That was just because of some incidents that changed her life…
"Hey you over there!" yelled a boy from somewhere.
A young girl of eight looked around.
"Nice look! Are you joining a carnival or something…?"
Everybody in that corridor laughed then someone else replied…
"NO! She's going to the zoo…to feed the horses with her straw hair…"
"I don't think she's fit for the zoo…the animals might freak out at that freak!"
"Freckle Nerd!"
"Dumb Girl!"
"Loser!"
"Drooling Horse!"
"Four-eyes!"
The girl started running as fast as she could, her short blonde hair rushed against the wind, her blue eyes began to well up with tears behind her lenses. She ran and ran and ran. Not knowing when to stop…I wished I did something…I wished I could do something for her…
That was what everyday looked like for the girl until one day…
"Naminé, you're already all grown up but nothing's changed. You're still depressed like always." said a woman with blonde hair in her thirties." You were never the same again…thought.
"Good you noticed, mother." replied the pale depressed girl.
"Naminé! Why are you talking to me like that? Don't you know the word respect anymore?!" yelled her mother. This was what every night looks like at the Misaki's house.
"Naminé! Are you even listening to me, young lady?" complained her mother. "Why can't you just tell me what's happening at school? Why are you acting like this?!"
"Mother, even if I tried to tell you what's happening everyday you wouldn't believe me." murmured Naminé, her head lowered.
"What do you mean I won't believe you? I believe you honey…" the mother began, she was already frustrated.
"You never believed me, mother! Just like the time when I told you I had no friends!" the girl yelled. "You just said honey don't be ashamed of your friends!"
"Well, it's true! Why are you ashamed of your friends?!" the mother said furiously. "And then you keep on stuffing me with lies like nobody liked you at all! That everybody calls you a horse…"
"See? It hasn't even occurred to you that I had no friends or that I was even telling you the truth!" Naminé screamed out, she was already crying because even her own mother didn't understand her.
"You know it's not true honey…You-your—you're just pulling your self down…" the mother said with complete denial.
"Man, I can't believe that you were my own mother! You can't even hear what I'm saying!" screamed the young girl. "You're so blind! And so numb!"
"YOU'RE GOING OFF-LIMITS!" she yelled back. "Go to your room, Naminé. I've enough of this…Tomorrow, we're moving! We're leaving this forsaken town!"
"Oh, I can't hardly wait…" the girl said sarcastically.
"ROOM!" Naminé was about to take a step when she turned around and said…
"I thought we were already a happy family, before that day…"
There she ran upstairs, crying. She slammed the door behind her and locked it. Naminé sobbed between her sheets.
"She blamed me for all of what happened…" she thought. I guess she wished that it was me who died instead of dad and Kairi."
Naminé saw something on her bedside table. It was the only family picture in that house. She took it and stared at those smiling faces of her past, she remembered the day of the accident…
"Come on, Kairi!" said a smiling girl with short blonde hair. "Look at that big one."
"Namie, fish…" pointed a three year old toddler, smiling toothily.
"Yes, Kairi it's a fish!" exclaimed Naminé, clapping happily at her sister's wit.
"Fish! Fish! Fish!" Kairi said, over and over again, jumping with delight.
"Whoah! Girls, don't let the boat shake…" said a woman with blonde hair.
"Come on honey let them have a bit fun…"a man named Danny bearing auburn hair said.
"Fish! Fish! Fish!..."
"Kairi, come on let's sit down now…"
"Fish! Fish! Fish!"
"Kairi sit down please…" Naminé pleaded.
"Fish! Fish!..."
The three year old kept on jumping in that part of the boat until…
"KAIRI!!!" screamed the blonde woman.
Little Naminé tried to reach Kairi's hand but she was too far to reach. The blonde girl didn't know what to do. She jumped off the boat and tried to swim after the toddler.
"OH NO! Naminé!" yelled the man with auburn hair.
"Mommy! Daddy!" screamed Naminé who was also drowning.
"DADA! MAMA!" Kairi was also screaming.
The man swam after Naminé first because she was nearer and then he took her back to the boat. He swam out again and tried to reach Kairi but…
"DANNY!" this time it was the blonde woman who screamed again. Danny had an asthma attack and he can't hardly breath. He was swimming for his life. The waves came out of nowhere.
"Daddy! Swim!" yelled Naminé. It was too late. His skin turned blue and his body was already lifeless.
"Mama! DADA!" screamed Kairi, she was already too far to reach.
"KAIRI!" the blonde woman sobbed and she saw the huge waves of the ocean toppled over the little girl. She was never seen again.
"Dad…Kairi…" whispered Naminé, tears trickling down her wet cheeks.
"They're gone…"stammered the mother. "It's all your fault. You killed them!"
Naminé was crying harder. Her hair was pulled by her mother. Then, she was pushed forward. She tripped on one of the paddles and hit her head. She was bleeding. Luckily, some men came on a boat and took them to the nearest hospital…
"It's all my fault…It's all my fault…It's all my fault…"
