Sissy's Song

I, Dan Kuso, was walking around Bayview Mall one summer's day with no real place in mind to stop and look at their products. I had been told to get out of the house for a little while by my mom because she was tired of seeing me mope around the house with nothing to do with my free time. I was thinking about my girlfriend, Runo Misaki, who lives in Wardington, Japan, and I have not seen her in two years now. I had suddenly remember that the mall was holding a singing contest for country music fans for one day only when I heard a girl singing along with Gone Country by Alan Jackson. I walked over to where the stage was setup in the food court and listened to the singers, who could not hold a candle to Runo's great voice. I was going to leave the area because I had enjoyed it, but I wanted to hear something else when a guy walked up on stage.

"We are at the end of the show, but there is one more act to perform for you. Do you want to hear her?" The guy asked the crowd and he was told yes. "Welcome to the stage then in her first time up here since she moved away from here to Japan, Runo Misaki." The guy said to the crowd and left the stage after giving the microphone to Runo.

"Hey, everyone. I hope you like this song that I had wrote recently." She told the crowd and started to sing a song that she called Upon My Broken Heart. She finished singing her song and went off the stage.

I went back stage to tell her that she did a great job out there.

"You were wonderful on stage, Runo." I tell her calmly and sweetly.

"Thank you for the complement, Dan." She told me sweetly and softly, which is very unusual for her to do with me. I knew that something bad must have happened to her and it hurt me deeply because she is the love of my life. "Did something bad happen to you, Runo? Please just tell me the truth." I tell her calmly and coolly so she did not kill me for asking her about it.

"My parents were killed a month ago and their killer is after me now. I had to flee for my life, Dan." She tells me while she was sobbing very hard on my shoulder.

"I think you should go home and get some rest. You will hurt yourself very badly if you push yourself to hard, Runo." I tell her calmly and softly because she looked like she was about to pass out on me.

"Okay, Dan. You will walk with me, right." She told me with a small smile. "Yes, I will walk with to your house." I told her putting my arm around her waist incase she did pass out on the walk to the diner where she lived.

We finally reached the diner 15 minutes later and went up to her bedroom to talk for a little while. A few hours later I had got up to leave her to get some rest when I felt her hand grab my hand.

"Can you stay with me tonight please, Dan?" She sked me quietly because she was half asleep by now.

"Yes, I can stay with you tonight, Runo." I told her laying down beside her after making sure the covers were tucked around to keep her warm during the night. I was happy to have my kid back with me. I love you, Runo.
