[Kaito Shion]: Broken
None of the girls I've seen before really mattered to me. I dated them, I whooed them, I got bored of them, and bang. They're with someone else the very next day. I gained some reputation as a Ladies Man. That was that, really.
Everytime I came home, however, my mom would be beaten on the floor, and my dad would be ready to raise his fist against me. I guess girls were some sort of vessel to distract me from the crappy life I had waiting for me at home. I soon felt guilty for treating girls like they were toys to keep me from feeling this pain that was always in my heart, like a tight knot that won't ever release. I left them alone, and I guess I distanced myself.
That was when Neru came along. She was a feisty blonde-haired spitfire, and she was fun to be around. The first time she came up to me, I was mesmerized. The second time she came up to me, I was hers in a heartbeat. We began to date, share the things we have in common, and we eventually got together. As a couple.
Yeah, it was great. For about a month, that is. But soon, I found that she was controling and demanding. She kept a tight grasp around my life, and chose who I hung out with and who I stayed away from. I lost all my true friends, and lets face it. The people Neru wished for me to run with hated me, too. It soon became a terrible type of life. I had no one to run to, and that's what Neru wanted. She wanted to be the only person I could go to when things got rough.
I decided to call it off, but boy, was she angry. She didn't seem so at first, though. She kind clung to me, and cried and begged for me to stay. When I didn't relent, she started screaming that I would be sorry. And I was.
The next day, she had managed to turn the entire school against me.
She knew all of my secrets, including my life at home. She told them all of it. She broke me in ways I couldn't begin to describe. I'm supposed to be an emotionless chick magnet, but now, I turned into a vulnerable shell of a man. It became crappier each day, and I refrained from letting anybody know.
That's when my mom left.
I wake up, a cold sweat on my face. I was surprised at myself, especially when I vowed off those memories forever. How could I dream of them that way? I never wanted to think of my life with Neru around ever again.
Rummaging came from the other room, and I knew that my old man was awake and drinking. That meant I was pretty much trapped in my room until he passes out, which probably won't happen until around seven or so. Subconsciously, the thought of Meiko enters my mind. Was she awake right now? What was she doing? Did she have dreams of her life before?
Suddenly, I smile. I don't need to be so upset. I have Meiko to look forward to the very next day.
[A/N: I'm sorry for the wait, and even more sorry for the short chapter. I just wanted to get it up so that people won't get impatient. Thank you so much for those reviews. They're what keep me writing this fic. Thank you for reading.]
