Entry Eight – Homesick?

~~~Today the most surprising thing happened to me, you wanna know why? I found a bottle. But not just any bottle, it had a note in it. And what it said on the note shocked me even more.

It was a message from my dad.

I had no idea how it sailed all the way here, but it did. From the sea. I couldn't believe it when I read the letter, fate has a weird way of twisting people huh?

But it wasn't the letter that you would expect.

It was actually written quite a long time ago, around maybe the time when my dad would travel around the world in his sailboat. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that my dad used to be a sailor before, and owned his own boat. It's not surprising with the money he's got, but yeah...he's been in the sea more than ten times I guess.

The note contained a detailed adventure from South America or something; it was hard to read since the message seemed worn off and smudged. But his full name was still seen clearly on the paper, that's what made me gasp...but I didn't tell Miyu my relation to him. I simply told her that this was a pretty cool discovery and all which is why I was in shock. And she believed me...

For some reason, I don't really want to say much about my outside life yet, but the folks already know I'm rich, so I've been really careful with what I say to Miyu. The 'rich' thing is the only thing they probably know...at least, I hope so.

Reading the letter honestly made me a little homesick...to be honest, the only reason I left my house was because I felt lonely...and at that time, I felt mad at my parents for keeping me in every day and night...I've been thinking about the whole thing, and maybe it wasn't their fault in the first place...what if I just over exaggerated the whole problem that they leave me alone too often? They're busy, they can't help it, and because of that, I'm always alone with maids. The maids aren't much company too, so I'm pretty much by myself.

They never listen to me since they have work. They ignore me all the time because they can't spend any time with me. That's why I got mad...that's why I decided to run away. I didn't want to live alone a single second more before I thought of the idea. Now that I'm here...now that I'm away from them...

My parents must miss me...don't they Tomo?

Oh, sorry...I...suddenly just...*sniff*

Really...I'm crying...sorry...can...we cut this now? I...I need some time to think...

Night Tomo...and, I'm sorry for cutting this short, I really need to clear my head...you can understand that...right?

Thanks.
