Author's note: Sorry this chapter is short and ends with a cliffhanger. But I kind of like it that way.
I am out of here! Goodbye Wammy's! thanks for being my home for 16 years I guess. It's cold out, but not too cold, its brisk and dry and just the perfect temperature for the clothes I'm wearing. Even better part about ditching the old place is that Mello wants to be rommates again. I thought that after his outburst I'd have to find my own shitty apartment and get by on Ramen. But NOPE. I get to live with Multi-Milionaire Mello! Who happens to also be the sexiest man alive and my best friend. Mello comes to get me and now in his car I notice that he hasn't yet replaced his rosary.
"Haven't gotten a new one yet?" I ask wondering why he hasn't.
I can't buy myself a rosary, it doesn't work like that. It's given often but not always as an apology to someone you care about, and seek forgiveness from, then as long as they have it you and god are looking out for them." I wonder if Mello's mother gave him the rosary as an apology for her death.
"Mello, why did your mom give you the rosary?" I asked him. His only response was a cold, emotionless
"She didn't it just belonged to her" Oh, okay I guess. Maybe his dad gave it to him when he left him at Wammy's?
"Who gave it to you then? And why?" I say looking at Mello with my goggles down, simply because he likes to see my eyes.
"My older brother." He says without a hint of emotion in his voice or face, luckily he and I are making eye contact, and I can see that he's broken about it.
"What did he have to apologize for?" I ask hoping now for some form of answer.
"Leaving me with dad".
