He was warned and he was escaping until he reached to the end of the ledge of the motel building. He almost falling down the building due to the slippery cold rain. The helicopter light shines upon the architect father, as he covered his blizzard blue eyes with his arms.
"It's over." He heard the voice of a police lieutenant, who explained how his son disappeared, but only cared about his badge. "On your knees. Hands behind your head." Ethan looked behind him, as he looked over the edge to find the SWAT team aiming their guns at him from above. "Easy pal, there's nowhere to go. You're surrounded."
As he walked closer him, he showed that he wasn't going to use his gun on the father….
At Seiko High School, a young seventeen year old teen was running out of the high school, as she was running in her clean school uniform and her green peacoat with her bandages wrapped hidden in her clothing. She had been shot in her left arm and she was in hell.

She ended up running into the front door of the school to see cop cars around the building and also her mother inside of her car, until she climbed out to see her daughter surprised and betrayed by her.
"You're surrounded, Harumi." The police lieutenant said over the megaphone.
She didn't know what to do or how to escape this. She was all alone, as the helicopter was flying from above and also Seiko High students were looking out the window, taking pictures of the policemen and also the wounded brunette, with her hands up.
This was it. She was giving up on everything that she went through to save her brother…

1:27pm
Ethan Mars' House
Ethan Mars was laying down on his bed. He had nothing to do but pick up his two children. His soon to be seventeen year old daughter, Harumi and his ten year old son, Shaun. He was in his own mind and own thoughts, until he was snapped out of it, when he heard his iPhone ringing on the nightstand. He picked it up to look at the caller ID.
Harumi's high school, Seiko High was calling him, once again. He sighed at the phone screen before answering it.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Mr. Mars." The Seiko High principal greeted him over the phone. "This is Harumi's school principal and I need you to come pick up your daughter, because she was in another fight."
"Again?" Ethan asked. "What happened?"
"I'll explain to you more in my office."
"Ok, I'm on my way."
Ethan immediately hanged up his iPhone, grabbed his car keys and brown leather jacket, as he drove his car to Seiko High, where his daughter, Harumi is held captive in the principal's office.
1:40 pm
Seiko High School
Being called to the principal office was hard on Harumi Mars. This was her second time in the familiar room. She was sitting in front of the principal desk, as the principal was looking down at her waiting for her to answer a simple question on how did she get her school uniform clothes dirty and wet from the rain.
"Now, Miss Harumi Mars." The principal began talking to her. "This was the second time I have seen you in my office during your first semester of your sophomore year. The reason why the gym teacher find you and this other girl in the rain fighting and pulling each other's hair out, is because…" she waited for the girl to answer her question, until she looked up at the woman's death stared eyes.
"She was making fun of me and my name, so she decided to push me into the ground." She mumbled under her voice, since she felt so guilty that she had to be in another fight again.
"Now, I have already called you father to come pick you up and for now if you have extra clothes in your locker. I suggested you clean yourself up, before your father arrives…" Harumi stood up from the chair and walked towards the door, as soon as she grabbed the door handle she heard the principal's voice once again. "And don't run away, just to get away from your parents, like you did last time."
Harumi left the office without another word and ran straight to her locker.
Ethan Mars arrived at Seiko High School principal's office and he knocked on the door before entering. "Come in," he heard the voice of the female principal calling from the inside of the office. He walked in and greeted her, before sitting down in the chair in front of her.
"Mr. Mars, this is the first time that you've been in my office and your daughter, Harumi has been in this situation twice during her first semester as a sophomore."
Ethan was confused. He thought this was Harumi's first time in the principal's office. "I didn't know that my daughter has been here over a couple of times."
"Well, that's because your wife came here the first time and she said that you were at work." The principal explained to him. "Now the reason why I call you here is because your daughter has been into another fight and she claims that the other girl, started the fight."
"Well, if my daughter is telling the truth then…"
"Actually, when she entered sophomore year, somehow she wasn't the same young lady we knew since freshman year." She sat down at her desk and type up Harumi's school records. "In her freshman year, she was a perfect AB student and she's very talented on her cello, but when she entered sophomore year, she earning A's B's and a few C's in a couple of classes."
"Well, I'm proud of her, but what about her music classes? How is she doing?"
"She didn't signed up for music classes this year." The principal replied. "She's in art class and she's passing with an A."
Harumi walked out of the girl's bathroom wearing her secondary clothing. She was dressed in a black cardigan with a white tank top, red and black plaid skirt and black knee socks, but she kept on her black high tops. As she walked to her locker to pull out her black backpack with anime and rock band pins, a two envelopes fallen out of the school ground. The first one was personal and the other had her name on it. So she put both of the letters in her backpack and close her locker, before going back to the principal's office.
The melancholy teenager was looking out the window of her father's car, while he was driving back home. Whenever he looked at his daughter, somehow she always kept that emotionless and bored face. As he stopped at a stop light, he was thinking about what the principal said to him, earlier.
"Mr. Mars, I'm worried about your daughter's behavior and there could be something wrong with her, ever since the loss of her brother changed her." The principal said.
"Somehow, I am worried about her, as well." Ethan replied. "She's non talkative, always depressed, and also I miss seeing her smiling face."
"Well, for now I'm just going to let your daughter off with another warning, since she's a very promising sophomore student, but if this happens again, she's going to be suspended for three days."
Ethan stands up and says his goodbyes to her. He walked towards to the door and grabbed the handle, before looking back at the principal. "Even though my daughter haven't done anything to anyone or something is wrong with her she still is my daughter."
"Harumi, this is the second time this year that you been sent to the office and… I don't know how am I going to tell your mother about this, since she never told me." Ethan said.
"So, what if she never told you?" Harumi said. "She always help me whenever I'm in trouble."
"Harumi, you know that I'm always here for you." Ethan said.
"Dad, you were never there for me when I started high school. I was just fine when you were gone and I don't need you I just only need Mom in my life now."
Harumi got her iPhone from out of her black cardigan pocket, places her red earbuds in the headphone jack and start listening to some music, while trying to block out the noise of her father's voice and also the heavy rainfall. She was staring out the window as felt the cold rain touching the window glass of the passenger side.
2:05 pm
Ethan Mars' House
When they arrived back the house, Harumi immediately ran out of the car and into the house, leaving Ethan behind. The architect father finally caught up with her, as she was laying down on the couch, still listening to her music until her father got her attention and taken one of her earbuds out.
"Yeah?"
"Are you hungry? You need to eat, Harumi." Ethan had noticed some of Harumi's body weight. She was getting skinny by the minute if she doesn't eat anything. He noticed her sudden weight loss ever since his ex wife, Grace and him got a divorce.
"Alright, get me something while I meditate."
Ethan walked into the kitchen to grabbed Harumi, a bag of potato chips, a bottle of water and he made her peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich. When he walked back to the couch, he noticed that Harumi's long brown hair was making the couch cushion wet, since she was went into the rain with an umbrella. She was fast asleep on the couch, until her father shaked her shoulder and she finally opened her big blizzard blue eyes staring back at her father.
"Here, I made you a sandwich and here's chips and a bottle of water."
"Thanks otō-san."
"What did you call me?" Ethan asked, while Harumi finally bite into her sandwich.
"Otō-san. My friend, Tomoya told me it means father."
That was first step of talking to his depressing daughter.
"Oh, ok." Ethan smiled at his teen daughter and he left her alone in the living room. He climbed up the stairs, into the bathroom to find her black hairbrush. The architect father climbed down the stairs to see his daughter distracted by watching anime on the TV, while eating her lunch. He he secretly sneak up behind her with the brush, until she immediately jumped when she felt something in her hair.
"What are you doing?!" She asked.
"I'm just fixing your hair, like I always do. You need to take better care of yourself, Harumi." Ethan explained.
"Dad, I'm ok." She picked up her plate and her water bottle. "I'm taking me and my food upstairs in my room." She ignored her father trying to call her back, as she climbed up the stairs and close the door to her room.
Harumi place her plate and her backpack down on her bed, as she layed down down on her beenie chair looking up at the ceiling. She looked under her bed to find a black shoebox containing important and private things.
Once she opened it, all of her private stuff were in it. A pack of menthol cigarettes, a black lighter, pictures of her and family, and a two cash rolls that is exactly one thousand dollars that she earned from her job working at a neighborhood grocery store for the past year.
She picked up her menthol cigarettes and lighter and hid it under her pillow of her bed. After placing back under the bed, she noticed a green notebook spiral and it had her old music sheets from her music and cello days growing up. As she looked at the old music she created or collect, she remembered that she received a letter from the music teacher.
Ethan, who was confused about her daughter's strange behavior and he also worried about, as well. Grace had never told him about the first time she was sent to the principal's office. It must have happened after the divorce was finalized and when he moved into this old house on his own. Harumi has changed over the past two years and so as his youngest son, Shaun. They were both melancholy and non talkative, unless they're fighting over something that they want.
He sat down on the couch, as he heard Harumi stomping her feet upstairs in her room. He felt bad about making her feel uncomfortable after he wanted to do something to her hair, since he was always brushing through it when she was just a bubbly child. Now, she more of a distant teen, who don't have feelings now. Ethan doesn't even remember when was the last time that she was happy. Maybe it was before Jason died.
He stood up from the couch, as he walked towards the boxes on the table, near the bathroom. He opened one of them to find a picture of just him, Harumi when she was fourteen, Jason, nine years old, and Shaun seven years old. They were all smiling and Harumi was kissing her father's right cheek, while hugging his waist. Harumi was a complete Daddy's girl, growing up.
There was lone tear coming out of Ethan's left blizzard blue eye.
Harumi, who was on top of the stairs hiding her cigarette and lighter in her cardigan pocket. she was about to go outside for a spell to smoke her cigarette in the backyard, until she heard her father's sniffling and crying.
But now, ever since Jason died and Ethan ended up in a coma, everything has changed in the past two years.
Ta-da! Here's the start of the remake of Ethan and his teen daughter, which the original and old story was deleted by me, because of crappy writing on a school computer, but doing it on my phone is better and it helps me!
