Deadly Flashbacks
Chapter 4 (Haruka's Point of View)
I was 13 at the time. Michi had asked me to spend the weekend at her house.
"Umm, dad, Michiru asked if I could stay at her house this weekend...can I?" I stood, my hair back in a ponytail and my arms behind my back.
He looked at me...A look I had seen many times before. "No." was all he said to me before going back to his paper.
I had learned not to fight him. To just go along with what he says. Quietly I climbed the steps and used the phone in my room to call my friend.
"Mrs. Kaiou, is Michiru there?" I hid my hurt tone. Moments later, I heard Michiru's voice greet me. "My dad said no to this weekend...Sorry."
"It's ok babe." her voice sounded depressed. "I had actually half expected him to say no. He doesn't let you do anything anymore."
If only I had to courage to tell her the hell I go through. But I feared my own safety.
"Ruka, I've got some bad news." she started out slow. "I asked you over this weekend to tell you...that we're moving...to Osaka."
Her and I had grown up in Tokyo together. And now, when I needed her the most, she was leaving.
"They won't change their minds. I'm sorry Ruka, We're leaving in August." It had been May at the time.
"I'll miss you Michi." I hung up the phone and broke down into tears.
