Chapter 2: Pieces
Sometimes when things break we can pick up the pieces and glue them back together again. Other times the pieces are so terrifyingly small that we don't even bother to pick them up and try again but instead we just blow them away and watch as they become...
" Nothing. You mean nothing to me anymore."
I sat in bed with the phone held so tightly to my ear my knuckles we're ghostly white.
" But Taki I-"
" Hiro get over it alright. Look it's just not working out ok."
I sat on the edge of the bed and watched as the floor began to water.
" Who are you seeing? Is it someone else Taki?"
I knew I sounded desperate, he knew I sounded desperate.
" Look you'll be all right. I have to go now. Bye."
I listened to the dial tone after that and it wasn't until a couple more minutes that I actually hung up the phone. I thought about calling Shuichi but it wasn't like he approved of my relationship with Taki anyway. So instead I walked over to my closet door and took out my guitar.
Without a second thought I made my way downstairs, pulled on my shoes and left the house imagining I could leave...
"Forever."
I listened to the last notes of my guitar as it flowed through the quiet air. The park was completely empty and it was probably due to the clouds overhead. But if it rained it wasn't like it mattered anyway. Maybe they could wash away my tear.
" You play beautifully."
I looked up quickly and found myself looking at familiar golden eyes.
" You?" I whispered. I doubted very much that he could hear me but his eyebrows seemed to rise in amusement at my shocked expression.
He walked over to the lamp which was right overhead shining down on the park bench. I noticed he was smoking once again and just like last time I found the cigarette hanging from parted lips.
" Do you always stare at people like that or am I just special?"
I gasped before quickly looking away. My cheeks, once again were scarlet red and I looked at the pick in my hand twirling it around my fingers.
" Sorry."
I wasn't quite sure why I was apologizing, maybe because I was so use to doing it at home.
" My names Eiri Yuki by the way. What's yours?"
I stopped twirling the pick in my hand for a second to look at him.
" You mean as in Useigi?"
He nodded his head once before blowing a puff of smoke in the air. I looked down again stunned that I was sitting here talking to one of Japans most famous authors.
" My names Hiroshi Nakano...but my people usually just call me Hiro."
We stopped talking for a while after that and for some reason I found that I wasn't uncomfortable by his silence.
" Was that kid... the one with the pink hair your boyfriend?"
I found myself stunned by his question and I caught myself gaping like a fish in his direction.
" Who Shuichi? No. No he's my best friend...my only friend. My boyfriend and I- Ex boyfriend now broke up today. Well he broke up with me and-"
" Do you always talk so much?"
My mouth closed instantly and once again I looked away from him. For some reason I was hurt by his words even though I didn't know him. Even though I shouldn't give a damn.
Above us the sound of thunder began to roar and I looked up at the sky wishing it would all pour down.
Eiri flicked his cigarette on the ground, crushed it beneath his shoes, before looking at me.
" You better get home kid it's going to start raining soon."
I watched as he turned around and headed in the direction I presumed was his home.
I placed the pick carefully between my fingertips and played the first note.
The minute I did the rain began to...
Fall. My knees hit the ground with a resounding thud and I found my face pushed onto the cold hard ground.
" I'll show you to fucking disobey my rules buy."
I tried to get out of his reach but in all honesty my father was much stronger than me. I felt my pants being yanked down and could hear the breathing in my ears, louder than my own breath, my own heart.
"...Promise me Hiro. Promise you'll..."
I blocked out the voice and cried out when I felt fingers touch my skin, screamed when he pushed it in, screamed as though I'd lost my-
Mind. Maybe I had lost my mind.
Lines now adorned my wrist, I barely said a word anymore to anyone even Shuichi. Especially Shuichi.
Was there no one who could save me?
But how could someone save me when I couldn't even save myself?
Was it even-
" Possible... This can't be possible."
I never thought I would see him again and in the same spot no less.
Only this time the sun was now setting, the rain wasn't falling, and the bruises were more visible.
I watched him watching me.
This time he was sitting on the same bench as me looking closely at the badly hidden bruises on my cheeks.
" When do you plan on doing something about it?"
I looked at Eiri slightly annoyed and agitated.
"Would you like a fucking date, the time of day, the fucking week, or month, or year?? What the hell am I supposed to do?"
I looked away from him and glared at nothing.
He doesn't understand why I stay... It was a promise I couldn't break but...
Eiri shrugged his shoulders as though we were casually discussing the weather.
" So who does it? Your father, boyfriend?"
" Does it matter?"
" I suppose not. Just know that it isn't going to stop unless you do something about it."
I looked at Eiri, looked down at my fingers, looked at Eiri again.
" I'll run away."
He looked as though he was thinking of my answer for a moment before a small smile graced his lips.
" Of course. Run away like everyone else-"
" Damn it! Then I'll come stay with you."
He looked stunned for a moment before a cold look came over his face again.
" No."
" But you just said I should do something."
" Yes. I meant go to the police, get help from someone you can trust."
" I trust you."
I stopped talking after that and watched silently as Eiri pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
" I'm going to tell you this now. It's your fault if you don't listen or don't believe me or whatever."
I watched as he placed the cigarette between his lips and lit it up.
" Never trust me... never trust anyone. Because the minute they do something to hurt you, your going to break into pieces and you'll never be able to pick yourself back up."
I know Eiri was giving me a choice but thing was I had already made up my mind.
" I want to stay with you. And besides Eiri I've already been broken."
