~Chapter Two~
*PRESENT TIME*
I'm now sitting on a bench in Central Park, watching passer-bys. Even though I'm not back in Odaiba, Central Park sure makes me feel like I am in Odaiba Park. We use to hang out there. Sometimes all of us would have group picnics or we'd just sit around and talk about life in general. Vividly I can remember when I was around 7 years old, I'd always take my little brother Tk to the park whenever our parents fought. I didn't want him to know that something was going on. Eventually the fighting got worse and I found myself constructing a tough exterior for my scared younger brother. I kept all my troubled feelings inside because I had to be strong for Tk. He looked up to me so I had to keep myself together. I couldn't break down in front of him. I just couldn't. then our mom finally filed for divorce. Unfortunately she left me and my father and took Tk with her. I had never cried so hard for anything. I had missed my brother so desperately. I guess I needed him more than he needed me.
I glanced around and see a couple snuggling comfortably under an oak tree. I cant tell rain is approaching because of the dark gray clouds hanging over our head. I love snowy days, but I was never too fond of rainy days. They tend to make me feel depress and gloomy. The day Mimi left was a rainy day. It just makes me miss her all over again. I know I said I've moved on, but sometimes buried feelings like to resurface.
Suddenly a rain drop splats unto my forehead. Great. It has approached. The next thing I know, it is raining. I didn't bring un umbrella and now I'm going to catch a cold or freeze to death on this bench. A group of people rush pass by to get themselves out of the rain while I remain sitting on the bench. This little boy who resembled a lot like a younger version of Tk spoke to me.
"Aren't you going to get out of the rain mister?" He asked.
"Eventually." I gave him a small smile.
"My mommy says you can get nee-mon-nee-a from the rain." He warned.
"Thanks for telling me, kid." I grinned.
"EVAN!!! I told you not to talk to strangers!!" yelled a woman under an umbrella who was running towards me and the kid. I'm guessing it's his mother.
"Look, I didn't harm your boy miss." I explained. It was hard to tell what she looked like due to the rain and the bucket hat she was wearing, but I'm assuming she was around my age. She didn't even glance at me but started talking to the little boy. I guess I wasn't heard over the loud pouring of the rain.
"I've been looking all over for you!! How many times have I told you not to wonder around without telling me Evan??!!" She asked, raising her voice so she can be heard over the rain. She kneeled down to place a raincoat over him.
"I'm sowwie mommy." He said, putting his head down in shame.
"It's ok. Just don't do it again." She smiled, planting a small kiss on his forehead.
Then she turned around to find me staring at her.
"Oh! I'm sorry if Evan bothered you." She apologized, straightening herself.
"It's ok. He just gave me a small advice. Don't stay out in the rain." I said.
She smiled. "It's just that I don't like it when Evan runs off and starts talking to strangers. It worries me."
"I wasn't planning on kidnapping him." I joked to find her giving me a stern and serious look.
'Don't joke around about that." She coldly replied. "I have to go." She said, grabbing Evan's hand and walking away before I could say anything. I was left lost and confused, standing in the pouring rain. I think I've offended her in someway.
I went back to my apartment and I took a quick warm shower. I think I'm getting sick because through the whole night I couldn't stop sneezing. Splendid.
