-~Chapter XI~-
Unpredictable Longing
So little time has passed and yet, all these emotions have rushed in and out of my head.
I can't seem to gain most control of my emotions at this point. Especially with the question my best friend asked me…
I couldn't answer him, and I even said that I couldn't and I just ran off. I practically ran away from my own problems. I must've looked pathetic.
I mean, I'm sure that all I'm doing is giving an even bigger impression that I'm a true idiot.
What are my feelings for Minami? Can I really answer that? Minami, the harsh girl who abuses me but is just so sweet on the inside. I could tell that she's always been there for me…
She's one of my closest friends…
I can't ruin that, all the time we've spent developing our friendship is very valuable to me. I will never take it for granted.
I wonder who she might even have feelings for, is it anyone in our group or our school? Or is it someone outside of school? Maybe a sweetheart back in Germany…? That seems likely…
Hey! Why am I getting sad over this? Do I really care about who she likes…?
Oh boy. I can't help but wonder…What type of guy does she li- Okay! Seriously!
I rant at myself as I smash my head against the wall in my room. Ah right, I'm in my bed just laying here thinking…
I was so lost in thought that I forgot I was even in my room, what time is it?
I glance over to the bright red light creating numbers and flashing a glint all over my dark room. It's 9:48. Welp, it's not that late. I don't have to worry about sleep right now.
I'm too busy realizing that no matter how hard I try I can't get Minami out of my head.
Damn! What's up with me? Do I actually like her? No, I'm too afraid to answer myself at this point. I just need to get some sleep, yeah most likely. Alright, I've changed my mind. It's time for me to get some sleep.
I mutter something right before I drift into sleep.
Ah, it's morning. I actually feel much better than I was feeling last night. I feel like time is getting a bit faster now, other than the past few days.
Funny, I don't remember any of my dreams of last night…Could that mean something or…?
Nah, I'll just brush that idea off my head and head into the shower. I need to properly wake myself up.
I grab my towel out of my room and head straight for my bathroom. I turn the nozzle to let loose a stream of very cold water. I push my hand into the thin air river and feel it as it gradually gets warmer. I jump right in to experience a daily event that occurs everyday, the warmth of water cleansing me.
I'm used to it, but taking a shower feels great.
I pack up my things, say goodbye to Nee-san, and then head out to another day of school.
As I walk toward my destination, I notice that I'm walking past Minami's neighborhood. I had urge to, so I decided to walk to her house and walk with her to school. I guess she wouldn't mind. I've done it a couple times before, just not as much this year.
As soon as I turn the corner, I start to get this bad feeling in my stomach. Ah, must be my body acting up. I'm sure it's just no big deal.
I continue to stroll down to her place, I'm actually getting a bit excited for some reason. What it is? I have no idea. I swear, there must be something wrong with me. Is it because of hormones that I'm getting these random emotions and feelings?
I stop walking and let out a huge sigh. I look around to see trees and other people walking.
No one really seems in a hurry. I guess this really isn't a busy day for any one else either. Good for us.
Well, while I'm randomly staring at people, they could be thinking I'm a creep or something. Time to get a move on.
I'd call Minami to let her know to wait, but I kinda want to surprise her. I haven't really interacted with her in a while now, so I think I'm going to try better these next few days.
Like I said before, she's always been there for me. I just hope she hasn't left yet.
Right as I'm walking, I feel a large body of force push my aside into the floor.
All my eyes could see was a dashing flash of black. My whole body slams into the ground, not only that, I also crashed into a couple trash cans. Oh, I haven't felt this much pain a while.
I was too surprised to realize what was going on, but apparently a man with a black mask pushed me over but then tripped on his own foot. Soon enough, he fell over into the other side of the side walk.
I try to get up but my leg is stuck under this large black sack of trash. Great.
While I stare at my stuck foot, I hear the man in black get up and starts stomping his foot. Until he speaks,
"Hey, YOU! Watch where you're goin' you stupid kid! You made me almost lose the b- What? Where is it?!"
While I'm trying to pull my foot out, the man looks around the ground desperately.
He speaks again, but with a more edgy tone. "Oh man! Where is it? I got lucky the first time getting it, where is it now?!"
From the looks of the black mask, he must be a…robber.
I surge of fear and panic overwhelms my arms and hands and increases the force I'm using to unlock my foot from all this trash.
The robber ends his search and looks toward me.
I couldn't help but plead, "H-hey! I'm sorry, I didn't see you! D-don't try to h-hurt me!"
The man looks at me mercilessly.
I knew that this was only going to get worse, and that my words alone will not get through to him. Whatever he lost, must have been valuable.
He slowly walks up and looks down at me. "Well, it looks like I have time to beat you down, boy. It's time for you to learn some manners when it comes to walking through the streets."
I'd scream out but there's no one else around in this street.
He puts his right hand into his pocket and grasps my head with his left. judging by his looks, he must be almost 150-200 pounds of pure muscle. The worse part is, I don't know how to handle this situation, fear is barely letting me move now.
I close my eyes only to feel cold metal pres against my temple. Right after, I hear his voice,
"You know what this is, boy? This piece of metal is going to blow your brains out. You just made me lose an item that's worth more than your life and 20 more freaking generations of you!"
I couldn't even respond, when I opened my eyes, I saw what he was talking about.
He was pointing a gun to my head.
Panic in me was rapidly swelling inside me, ready to burst out at any moment now. I guess this is it…
I never really knew that this was how my life was going to end, but heck, I lived a happy life. I had the best family and friends I could ask for. I'd love to say thank you to all of them.
I hear a click on the side of my head, I knew that I just had seconds left. I can't think straight but I can accept my early death-
"Or not!"
I scream out two words and remove my foot from the trash, my other foot sweeps and takes under the robbers right leg. His right knee hits the concrete floor pretty hard, he screams and lets go of both my head an the gun.
Out of pure rush, my left foot kicks the gun into the pile of trash. I managed to gain my balance and stand up, looking down at the robber grieving in pain.
As I stare at him, I remember that dream…or nightmare. When Minami was getting mugged, how I came in and did my best to take them on, only to get a blow to the stomach by a bullet.
Anger build up inside me after I realize that this man was going to try to take me away from my family and friends. He wasn't going to let me ever see them again, and I could not let that happen at all costs.
I grab his shirt and pull him upwards towards me, I raise my right hand only to swing down as hard as I ever possibly could.
As the pain in my hand grows, I can only anticipate that the man's face is only worse. He passes out before he falls to the ground.
I stood there, wondering what just happened. Is this me? Did an idiot really beat down a robber and escape death?
Who…am I?
While I'm in shock and I hear shuffling behind me, I turn around as fast as I could only to see a man in a suit holding a bag.
"I see you stopped this man from escaping with my package, young man."
He walks up to me while I still look at him with awe. He must be a from another country, he has a type of accent…Is he American?
"Hmm, why this is quite a mess. I apologize for the trouble, sincerely. You're just a kid and this man wanted to take your life just for this package. That makes me sick."
He walks closer, takes off his black sunglasses, and puts his hand on my right shoulder.
He sets down the bad and digs his left hand into his jacket pocket and pull out a card.
He proceeds to speak, "Here, this is my service number. I seem to be in your debt, if there is any favor you need please call me. Just…make it reasonable, okay? I'm not that powerful, yet." He laughs while he hands me the card.
"Take care kid, I'll catch your name when you all me later, alright?"
The man lifts the bag again, while throwing the robber over his shoulders and continues to walk away.
I realized that, I'm still alive.
I stood at that same spot for a few minutes, trying to process what happened. Soon enough, I continue to walk and get to Minami.
That…detour wasn't too long…
When I reach up to her place I notice that there are no cars near her place. I shrug it off and ring the door bell, seconds pass. No answer.
I ring again, feeling less confident that anyone will answer.
Again, no answer. I give it another try, but the result is still the same.
No one is home, Minami probably already left for school. I decide to hurry to school until right after I turn around, a slip of paper falls from the door.
It seems to have been slid into the door, it's a letter or a short message…
The Shimada Family,
It seems you've only been here for a short time. I've enjoyed being your landlord for all this time. I guess this time would have came eventually, so why not now? I'll miss the company.
I'm sorry I couldn't help with the moving last night, I'm sure you'll find this note when you guys come back to visit.
I wish you the best of luck on moving back to Germany. Take care!
From what I'm reading, my mind is starting to explode.
"S-she…moved…?"
Yep! You have just read the 11th chapter to my continued story!
So thank you for reading and please review! It will definitely help me with more stories!
Please wait for another chapter, the 12th chapter could get emotional...who knows? Aha!
Thank you again, sincerely.
Until next time.
