Without a family: an Orphan

It was a beautiful day on Sailor's Isle. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and Mother's Day was just around the corner...

"Hey Vyse!" Fina yelled to the sailor who had just exited his house.

"Hi Fina, what's up?"

"I was just wondering, you know, with Mother's Day coming up and all, what are you getting your mother?"

Scratching the back or his head, Vyse thought for a moment. "Uh... I have no clue."

Fina sighed. "Well I was hoping I could get some ideas from you. Maybe I'll ask Aika..."

His eyes suddenly widened. "NO!" Vyse yelled so loud that it startled her.

"What? What's wrong?"

"You can't ask Aika, remember? Her parents... they're..." Vyse slowly dropped his head.

"Oh my, I forgot. I am so sorry."

"It's okay. Just don't say anything about Mother's day around her, I don't want her to think about it." Fina nodded. "Okay Vyse, I won't." She turned around and walked off to think about an idea for a gift. Vyse sighed. This holiday was always the worst one for Aika. He hoped that she hadn't remembered that it was in 2 days. He felt so awful. It wasn't his fault, but it hurt him like it hurt her. He hated seeing Aika so depressed, and knowing there was nothing he could do made it that much worse.

Walking back to his room Vyse spotted Aika, checking her hair in the reflection of the house window. Peering through it, she saw the calendar, and a red circle around a day two days away. Mother's Day. Her eyes became puffy and she couldn't help them getting watery. She looked past herself in the window and saw Vyse staring at her. Turning around she greeted him with a fake smile and walked past him without another look. Vyse just blinked. "She must have remembered," he said to himself.

Later that day, Aika had gone up to the look out to stare into the horizon, which now was getting a light orange color. She was just in time for the sunset. Sunsets always made Aika think of her mom. Her mom was beautiful. She always had a smile on her face, and was extremely spunky and outgoing. (Sounds familiar doesn't it) Aika sighed and lowered her head so that her face lie in the palms of her hands. Tears slowly fell, and then rapidly increased. She missed her parents. She hated being an orphan, and Mother's Day always seemed to remind her of the huge part of her life that was missing. Just she began to breakdown once more, the sounds of footsteps stopped her. It was Vyse. She didn't even have to turn around to know that.

"Aika… please don't cry…" he said, standing behind her.

"I can't help it Vyse. Ever since my parents died, I've had this empty hole in my heart, and nothing to fill it with." She had both sadness and a hint of anger in her voice.

"You know that my family is your family, Aika. We all love you. I don't mind sharing." he laughed a little as he put his strong hands on her shoulders, trying to brighten the mood.

"I know that Vyse. But like you said. It's your family. And I don't want your family. I want mine…" And with that, she stood up, walked past him, and climbed down from the look out.

Vyse stood there dumbfounded. He didn't bother running after her, for he knew she wouldn't talk to him anymore tonight. He just sat down, and watched as the stars randomly appeared in the midnight sky…he closed his eyes, felt the breeze, and drifted off to sleep… but only after he shed a single tear.
