Chapter 2: A Crush?

After all that hectic mess I start to walk home, slowly, in the pouring rain.
I open the door to our shop and walk in, taking my jacket off.

"Shion? Oh my god! Your soaking wet! What happened?" My mother says as she rushes over to me, patting me down in case of wounds.

I grab her hand lightly and smile at her. "See I'm fine."

She sighs in relief. "Thank god"

"I heard on the news what happened. That must have been really scary." She says.

She noticed me dazing off as well as being extremely quiet. "Shion? You sure your ok?"

I nod. "I think I'm going to go lay down for a little while ok?"

"Oh... alright Shion. I'll start on dinner then!" She says and rushes off to the kitchen.

I head up stairs and plop down on my bed. "Crap... I forgot to change clothes." I sigh and close my eyes.

Who was that guy,? And why did he hug me? Do I know him? What does he mean sorry? What's this infected? Does it involve the disease?
I'm thinking too much about this. I need to relax.

I turn around and lay on my back, covering my eyes with my arm. I start drifting to sleep. Maybe just a few minutes of sleep won't hurt.

* 1 hour later *

"Shion are you up? Dinner is ready!"

I slowly come to, and sit up on my bed. I regain vision and stand up. I head downstairs carefully, making sure I'm actually awake. As I get down to the bottom nearly falling, I head towards the table and sit down.

"Have a good nap?" She asks bringing in the delicious smelling food. I nod in return and start to dig in.

After all the food that we could handle was eaten we sat in silence. My mother decides to break the silence by saying: "So the market today huh?"

Hearing her say this made me jump. "You know what went on?"

"No, just what the news told me." She says standing up and going to the sink to wash dishes.

I just look down and stare at my hands. I cant stop thinking about that guy for some reason. I want to know more about him. It's just so weird.

"Shion? you sure your ok?" She ask coming towards me.

I nod, not saying anything to her.

"What's on your mind? Is it your crush?" She says as she starts to lean towards me, nudging me with her elbow.

"W...WhAt? NONONONONO NO WAY I DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH!" I say looking flustered flailing my arms around in the air.

"I was just teasing Shion." She giggles.

I heave a breath and watch her head back to the kitchen. Crush? I just met the guy, but i feel like i've met him before. Right as i begin to think about when and where i've seen him before there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it" i say as i jump up and jog to the door. "Yes?" I say as I open it.

"Your Shion right?" A large man asks me.

"Y...yeah is there a problem?" By that time my mother starts walking towards me to be at my side.

"You were at the market today correct?"

"Yes." I say giving him a confused look.

"You were knocked over by a strange man right?"

"Y..yes"

"I see." He says sighing a bit.

"I'm sorry , we're going to have to take your son in to custody and have him answer some questions."
