Chapter 3
* * * * * *
Yukari is huddled in one corner of her room shaking with fear. She has a phone in her hand and is attempting to dial. I can't take it anymore, the shouting, cursing, dishes and lamps breaking; my house is a war zone. Ok, 736-0047.
"Ring, ring, ring" "Ring, ring, ring" Come on Hitomi, pick up the phone, pick up the damn phone! "Hello?" "H-hi its Yukari, I-is Hitomi home?" "Yes Yukari, one moment" Muffled shouting is heard, and then the front door bangs shut. "Hello?" H-hey Hitomi" "Yukari? Are you ok? What's the matter?" "They're doing it…again!" breaks into soft sobs. "Ok, come over my house and bring your school things for tomorrow. Ok?" "Uh-huh" "I'll see you soon" "ok" click. Yukari quickly gathers her things and walks out the door.
15 minutes later* * * *
Ding Dong! Feet running down stairs are heard, and shortly after the door burst open revealing a worried Hitomi. A red, puffy- eyed Yukari stands in the doorway looking thoroughly disheveled. " Come in Yukari, let's go up to my room so we can talk." Yukari walks through the door and starts slowly upstairs towards Hitomi's room. Hitomi closes the door and locks it.
A/N: Sorry this chapter's so short but it's more of a setup chapter for something much bigger. R&R please! ^_^
