Ok, here's the next chapter I couldn't wait to write more! Also thanks for all the reviews. xXx
It had been 2 days since Ami had passed away and I felt empty; Miki, Su and Ran tried to get me to think of what Ami would want me to do, but I just couldn't believe that she was gone. I still hadn't told the rest of the guardians yet; my mind was too resistant to accept what happened.
My mum and dad were taking it hard, moping around and constantly crying their hearts out. I too was trying to be strong but the result of Ami just ate away at my heart. I after 5 more days decided that maybe going to school would help me to move on and accept fate's choice.
I dressed in my usual 'cool and spicy' outfit and made my way to school. I was concluding in my head on how I was going to explain why I had been absent from school the last week. I held back my tears as I entered the school office receiving some curious glances.
Through school I avoided the guardians and pretty much everyone else like I was the mouse and they the crazy, bloodthirsty cats. Tadase had tried to catch me on occasion but Ran helped me to do a quick dash around the school, I was beginning to admit that running away was tiring and extremely obvious, coming to the conclusion that it wasn't the best idea.
I wanted to have the trust and comfort from friends and family but my family were too busy mourning. For my friends, I didn't think that I would be able to talk about the situation; it seemed to burn a hole deep within me when it was mentioned, even my sister's name felt to me as though I had just been punched me in the gut. It was reported in class today that there was a guardians meeting in the garden. I dreaded the moment of walking in and facing the truth.
All through lessons Tadase had been constantly staring at me obviously trying to get me to look at him in the eyes. I felt so pressured to release my emotions and thoughts that when the bell rang for the end of school, when I was supposed to be heading to the garden I made a sprint out of the school; hearing my name being called by none other than Tadase I ran with quick urgency. As I returned home I found a simple note on the kitchen counter. The poor writing I immediately recognised as my dad's.
Amu,
Gone out for the afternoon. Will be back around 8.00pm, there's food in the fridge so help yourself.
Love you,
Mummy and daddy
P.S – do all your homework when you get home. Love mummy
I chose to take my mum's advice and finish off my homework, spending as much time as possible on it. While eating a cold sandwich I began to feel extremely lonely, I longed to cuddle with Ami but unfortunately… I knew that could never happen again. Su, Miki and Ran I assumed had gone to sleep, I hadn't seen them around after school. Neither had I checked my egg bag.
Maybe they were just tired from me running away all the time?
When my parents eventually got home they had clearly been drinking and both fell asleep on the sofa, curled up next to each other. I fetched a blanket from upstairs and gently places it over their laying figures. I left them to sleep and made my way back up to my room, I dived straight into my bed and huddled myself deep within my duvet. Before I went to sleep I secretly wished I could be stronger and wise. Once again I fell unconscious with crystal tears streaming down my face. Knowing that the nightmares would haunt me in my sleep.
