Part Eleven -C-
My mommy and daddy had a big fight today. I was in my room, playing with
my little brothers, and I heard them yelling! Daddy started to throw things. I
know, 'cuz I heard them break. Mommy started to cry. She said that she was
sorry, over and over. She didn't stop for a while. Later, after she and Daddy
got quiet, a man came over. I don't know who he was. He was a stranger.
Mommy didn't think so. She knows him. I don't know from where. Daddy
didn't like him too much. The man came into my room. He had yellow hair,
like mine. Like my little brother's too. William and Takeru had yellow hair
and blue eyes, like me. I'm the oldest. William is a year younger than me,
and Takeru is a year younger than him. I'm almost 6! My birthday is in a few
days, and I'll go to school soon. I'm excited about that! The man came into
my room. He picked up William and said that I'd never see him again.
"NO!" I said, running to him. I tried to hit the man. He just walked away.
He carried my little brother away. He didn't take Takeru, just William.
I don't like that man. Takeru started to cry. He was only 4. He was scared.
I tried to be a good big brother and hug him. Daddy came in and Mommy did
too. Mommy was still crying. Daddy still looked angry. Daddy looked to
Mommy and asked, "Which one do you want?"
She cried, "No… don't take them…"
"What do you mean, Daddy?" I asked, trying to hold on to Takeru.
"One of you is going to live with Mommy, and one of you is going to live with
Daddy." He said, looking angry.
"No! We're going to live together!" I yelled. "I don't want to only have one
parent!"
"Matty… please…" Mommy said, reaching out to me, "Don't be this way…"
"Takeru, is that what you want too?" Daddy asked.
Takeru nodded.
"Where's Willis?" Takeru asked. He could never say William, so he always
called him Willis.
This made Daddy even more mad. "William is with HIS daddy."
"He has a different daddy?"
"Yes. Your Mommy made a very bad mistake. Now, Daddy is very angry with
her."
"I know! You've known for years! It's just that Rigel hasn't!"
"Rigel? Is he the Stranger?" I asked, scared. I didn't like Strangers. They
were mean. They took my friends away. I only have one friend left. He's not
even real. He's one of the Big Boys. He likes to play on his computer. He
plays games. He lets me play them with him sometimes. I call him my Angel.
He laughs when I say that. He says that Angels are only um…celestial… I
think… beings. But he likes being called that by Yamato. I like being called
Matty though. That's the name that William came up with. It just sounded
right. My Angel… he's real nice. He teaches me things about a lot of people.
He says that I'll have real friends one day. That'll happen when I'm older. I'll
be a Big Kid then.
"Yes, Rigel is the man that took Willis away." Daddy said.
"Rigel is his real daddy." Mommy said, crying again. "But Daddy is your real
daddy, Matty, Takeru."
That's what happened. That was a long time ago. That's how my Mommy and
Daddy got a divorce. That's a big word, divorce. It means that Mommy and
Daddy don't love each other or you anymore and they leave. I had to go and
live with Daddy. Takeru went to live with Mommy. Mommy calls me
sometimes. She told me that Willis moved to America with his daddy. He
lives in some place called Colorado. They have a lot of mountains there. Not
as pretty as Mountain Fuji though. That's the best place ever. Except for
Tokyo Tower. My first grade class went there last week on a class trip.
There are a lot of first grade classes in my school. It's a very big school. I
met a lot of people. I don't remember their names, but Angel did. He smiled
real big when he saw them. There were two girls and one boy. He was real
fun to be with. He was jumping all over everything and the teacher had to
punish him! He liked to play soccer and he wore these weird things that
made him look like an alien. I thought it was funny, so I laughed. He said,
"Make my day, sissy" and we pretended to be cowboys. Like in America,
where Willis lives. The girls pretended to be princesses. Boring. Just like a
girl. At least the boy knew how to have fun. Angel said that the boy is always
going to be like that. I want to be his friend forever.
At Tokyo Tower, my class had a lot of fun. I had to stay with my class until
lunch. None of the kids in my class like me. I try to be nice, and they ignore
me. I try to make friends. They don't want to be my friend. They say that I'm
a 'momma's boy'. I tell them that I don't even live with my mom. Then they
say that I'm a freak because I don't live with both my parents. They say that
my mom is evil, because she had a kid with a person that wasn't my daddy.
When the kids say that, I punch them. They have no right to talk about my
mommy or Willis like that. They're my family. My family are the most
important people to me. So, I didn't have much fun with my class. At lunch
though, I had a lot of fun. Angel took me over to those kids, the `princesses'
and the fun boy. I wonder how Angel knew them though.
AN- And here's MATTY!!!! Another new POV to add into the mix! I hope y'all
like, and I'm sorry that this took so long to put up... I've been REALLY busy...
*can we say LIVING at Econofoods?* Anyway, thanks for putting up with me,
and I hope I get the next parts up faster!!!
THANK you EVERYONE!!! Becci D, Saya (and I'm still REALLY sorry about that!),
Faith, Eternal Haven, Chryseis, and everyone else who reviewed!!!
