Chapter 2: CARING...

She is walking down the running tracks staring upward as if expecting something to fall, and then she smiled.

"Was it real? Or just a dream?" and she smiled again, staring at her shoes.

"Well…if it was real it sure is…good…wonderful."

"Come on now Hitomi! Of course it was real!" she shouted.

"You…just don't want to admit it to yourself." *Why?* she thought looking serious.

"Because…because…it…hurts…" unconsciously holding her chest. She smiled again and looked at the sky.

"Well…I just hope their all doing fine." And walks away still holding her chest with a smile playing on her face.

"Hitomi is that you?" her mom shouted from the kitchen as she opened the front door. (I do not know exactly anything about her parents so if anyone knows please inform me. Thank you).

"Yes mom!" Pulling off her shoes. (The house is a typical Japanese house, not the old style. I imagine it like the one with Usagi Tsukino's house ok)

"Can you help me? I'm in the kitchen."

"Coming mom" Running towards the kitchen.

"How many times did I tell you not to run around the house!" her mom said glaring at her.

"Sorry…" she washed her hands and started cutting the carrots.

"Hitomi…" her mom was stirring the pot while she is sitting at one of the chairs.

"What is it mom?" she asked looking at her mom's back.

"Hitomi…if you have any problems, you could always tell me." Hitomi stared at her for quite sometime before giving her answer.

"Mom…I'm fine…" then she remember what Yukari sand *you are not good in lying*.

"Hitomi…"

"You're never good in lying. I'm your mom. I've known you ever since you were born. Don't expect me to believe that." She turned and smiled at her, one of her mom's brightest smiles. She always loved her mom even though they argued sometimes. She smile at her mom and was about to say something when her mom cut her off.

"Tell me when you're ready okay?" her mom smiled and continues stirring.

"And Hitomi…Don't hide on that smiling face of yours. Sometimes smiling even though you're hurting can be VERY bad to your health, just like smoking." And then she laughed. *maybe* she thought and continued cutting down carrots.

"You go change, while I finish this." Her mom said after putting the cut carrots to the pot. She pulled herself up the chairs. It seems all her energy was drain out of her after what her mom said. She got to her room and dressed in a white fitted t-shirt and shorts. She looked at her bed and groaned. She feels drained. She lay down and stared at the white sealing.

"Maybe their right, I've been keeping this for so long…but will they believe it?" she turned to her side and faced the glass sliding door that faced the other house across the street. The other house has also a glass sliding door and the afternoon light came through the glass door so you could see the inside of the house. A door stood ajar. She stared, and thought that maybe there is already someone living on the house. She stood up, opened the glass sliding door, stood at the veranda, and stared at the other side as if waiting.

"Hitomi!" she heard her mom shouted from downstairs…pulling her away from her thoughts. *What am I doing staring!* instantly blushed.

"I'm coming!" she ran and closed the door and one's more looked at the other side.

"Oh! Hitomi stop it!" and ran towards the door before even seeing a person opening the door from the other side and stepping outside the veranda and staring at the place where she stood up.

She's on a grocery shop and buying fruits for her mom. She picked up an apple and stared at it. *Red* she thought and remembered Dilandau *Burn! Burn! Burn!* she shake her head and placed the apple in her cart. She looked around, not really seeing anyone. She sighed and pushed the cart towards the counter. She was staring at her shoes when she accidentally bumps someone.

"Sorry!" she exclaimed, looking at the broad shoulders.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to..." before she could finished her sentence the guy turned around.

She stared and started shaking. Her hands coming to her lips, trembling.

"No…It can't be…it can't be…" 

To be continue…
