(* * = Environment Sound)

I refer the character's surname as"N" because I couldn't think of a surname at the time.

A/ N: It's been a while! but I've written chapters for this story and I'll upload them :)

Chapter Seven - Escape!

I grabbed my bag and made my way towards the front door. As I reached the stairs I saw Hikaru standing at the bottom. His eyes full of concern "What happened?" Hikaru asked, taking a step forward. I stood there in silence, watching Hikaru make his way towards me. Each step filling my heart with anxiety. I had to get out. I jumped onto the railing and slid down the rail, only to fall off and land on my back. I winced in pain gaining everyone's attention in the house. That done it, everyone knew something was wrong. I managed to pull myself together and grabbed my bag that slid across the hall. As I picked it up I glanced back at the stairs to find Kaoru staring at me. His eyes were emotionless as if he'd just seen someone being shot.

I stood there in silence, wanting to say something... But before I could a loud roar of thunder & rain filled the hall. That was my cue to get out of there. I limped out the door and into the rain. I ran and ran until the house wasn't in sight. When I knew I could be alone. It seemed like I was walking for miles but then I came across a newly built park, the rain made it look surreal. It felt like this place was made for my asylum. I dragged myself to the jungle gym and took shelter from the rain. I placed my headphones in and began listening to Claire de Lune.

All I could think about is how did a sleepover ruin my first month in Japan. Just as I was about to be dragged into the pit of doubt. A mysterious voice called out to me "God, you look straight out of a cliche" I look up to see a brown haired figure looking down at me as if I was a lost child. "Whats it to you?" I muttered. "It's Virgil right..? From violin class. You probably don't know me but my names Damien" He replied with confidence. "Wait... your names Damien? where are you from?" I questioned, eagerly awaiting his reply. "Well you know I go to the same academy as you but my family moved to Japan from the UK 3 months ago. " Responded Damien as if we were playing 21 questions.

"Hey, it looks like you've had a rough morning. I know we've just met but you cant stay out here. especially when you're injured. If you want you can rest up at my place, I only live down the road. While you rest up we can play the Last Guardian on the PS4 if you want to that is." Continued Damien. as he glanced at me.

That caught my attention. I've wanted to play that since it got released. I'd thought Hikaru wanted to... Before I could finish my trail of thought Damien grabbed my hand and dragged me down the road. "What was I doing?" I thought this guy could be a killer for all I know. As I'm being dragged down the road. I regrettably take a glance back down the road.

*Beep Beep [Text Message]*

I glance at my phone to see who would text me now. It was Hikaru:

[Hikaru]

Where are you!? Kaoru and I are worried sick! We in our car looking for you now. Kaoru won't even speak to me! You better reply!

But I couldn't "Hey do you mind if we get to yours quickly. I think I'm gonna be sick" I asked Damien with urgency. "Uh.. yeah sure" Replied Damien. We began running "Its just here on the right" Damien continued.

Damien kept his word he actually had the Last Guardian and boy I was excited to play it. Hours passed by and I forgot all my problem thanks to this stranger. then it hit me "Hey umm thanks for this" I mumbled to Damien. "It's all good, you looked like you needed someone to talk to" He Replied sheepishly. "But you know you should probably answer your phone it's been lighting up like Guy Fawkes day!" Damien Mentioned.

"Haha yeah, I guess I should get going. Em's gonna be mad and worried" I said glancing at my phone. "But I'll see you tomorrow, right ?" I questioned, knowing I was pushing my luck with my new "friend". "Of course! bud" Said, Damien. "Oh, could you help me avoid the host club? I really don't want to be near them." I said as I exited his door.
