CHAPTER 11: acceptance


Hitomi was walking with her mother down town.

"So there is a movie in town today not at the movie theater."

"Yep! Right outside there setting up a screen." Sora said.

"What movie?" Hitomi asked.

"I dunno no one said."

"What if it's a crappy movie."

"Than we'll sit through it."

"We can't leave." Hitomi asked.

"Nope."

"Can't we go to Folken's?" Hitomi asked.

"No."

"Why?" Hitomi asked.


*Flashback*

Sora threw open the door to the diner and walked in.

"Where the fuck is he Folken?"

"Who?"

"Your nephew."

"I don't know."

"He almost killed Hitomi."

"He what!?" Folken asked.

"He crashed a fucking car with her in it and now she's in a hospital."

"Where is Van?" Folken asked beginning to get worried.

"I don't give a fuck where he is cause he better hide because when I find him he's going to die."

"Is he okay?" Folken asked.

"I don't care Hitomi is hurt and it's all his fault."

"Did he crash the car on purpose Sora, do you really think he wanted to kill Hitomi!"

"I don't know!" Sora yelled.

"What do you mean I don't know, do you really fucking think he wanted her dead and now I don't even no where he is and he could be hurt!"

Folken yelled he grabbed his jacket and walked passed Sora.

"Where are you going!?" she yelled.

"To find Van before he attempts to kill anyone one else!" Folken yelled back in a bitter sarcastic tone.


"Why?" Hitomi asked snapping Sora out of her flashback.

"Because."

"Why?" Hitomi asked again.

"Because I don't." Sora said walking toward the chairs that were scattered in front of a large screen.

Hitomi sat beside her and mother in silence listening to the movie and than something caught her ear it was Merle and Miguel talking with each other, Merle was known to no everything that went on in town.

"Miguel did you hear what happened, Folken sent Van away."

"Where?"

"Back to New York, because of the accident with Hitomi."

"Oh where'd you hear this?"

"It's all over town."

Hitomi's facial expression went from frustrated from fighting with her mother to shocked at the news she just heard. Hitomi got up from her seat and started walking away.

"Hun where you going the movie is about to start."

"I need to go for a walk, I'll be back in a sec."

"Ok." Sora agreed.

Hitomi waved bye to her mother and walked away once she passed the corner she started to run and didn't stop.


*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*

Dilandau was walking out from the arcade when he saw Hitomi run passed she looked upset.

Maybe Allen died. Dilandau thought happily.

He started to run after her, she was fast but Dilandau was faster he caught up with her quickly and than grabbed her arm. Hitomi fell backward and Dilandau caught her.

"Hey Juliet."

"Let go Dilandau I'm not in the mood."

"What's wrong did Allen die?"

"No."

"Than what is it."

"Why would you care."

"Because I'm a caring guy."

"You sure fooled me." Hitomi said smiling.

Dilandau laughed "So what's wrong, I don't see you running like that every day some things wrong."

"He's gone."

"Who?"

"Van."

"Van's gone?"

"Ya."

"Why?"

"Because of me." Hitomi said sadly, "It's all my fault."

"How is it your fault?" Dilandau asked as he leaned against a telephone booth.

"Because it is."

"Is it because of the crash?" Dilandau asked.

"I did you know?" Hitomi asked.

"The crash is all over the news and it wasn't anyone's fault just the idiot who cut the brakes on the transport truck."

"Dilandau............"

"And New York is only and hour away."

"Dilandau........................"

"And you can go see Van if you want to see him so much."

"Dilandau................"

"Can I finish talking without you interrupting me?"

Hitomi giggled "Thanks you made me feel better."

"Can I get a thank you kiss?" Dilandau asked grinning.

"Nope."

"Why?"

"You have to wait till the play."

"Damn you, you no how to torture me."

Hitomi laughed and patted Dilandau on the back "There, there."

Even though she's smiling I know she's sad. Dilandau thought.

"Hitomi." Dilandau said.

"Yeah."

"You have to accept that he's gone and who know's if he's coming back."

"I...I...know." Hitomi replied biting back tears.
