Chapter 2:

Kimiko sat on her bed, she didn't want to leave her room, but she could feel the earthquake in her stomach grumbling loudly. Kimiko stepped out of her room, being sure to close the door, she could never tell if Brian was going to sneak into her room. She gently closed the door and walked along the landing, she stopped at the sound of a voice "goin' out" it was Brian's voice, she heard a door opening and then slamming. Kimiko took her chance to speak to her mother while he was out. Kimiko walked downstairs and found her mother sitting on one of their wooden chairs with her head down, hair covering her face.

"M-mum?" Kimiko asked apprehensively "Are you ok?"

"umm yes, yes of course" Kimiko's mother looked up at her, Kimiko could tell that she had been crying but knew better than to bring it up. Kimiko thought that she would and should get straight to the point, who knows when Brian would be back.

"umm well mum, I need to talk to you about something, something real important ok?" Kimiko said looking at her feet. "well firstly why the hell did you like Brian and secondly what do you argue about?" Kimiko's mother was taken aback by these questions seeing as she looked up at Kimiko, she cupped Kimiko's chin with one hand and moved Kimiko's head up so that she could see her face, Kimiko's eyes were full of tears and one slid down her face but her mother wiped it away.

"Kimiko, sweetheart, it's complicated but, things are fine, every relationship goes through this stage, now go upstairs and play your guitar" she said smiling, Kimiko smiled, she was glad to know that everything was ok, but a small part of her didn't believe her mother.

As Kimiko closed her door her mother began to cry again, she hated lying to her daughter, but she couldn't tell her that… that things weren't fine and if she could she would get rid of Brian but she was scared of what he might do to her and Kimiko, she wished their was something she could do, but there wasn't.

Kimiko sat on her bed and picked up her guitar, she began to play a song called 'it'll be alright' this was another favourite of hers when she was near the end she was interrupted by more shouting, she stopped playing and decided to go downstairs and stop the argument she was half way down the stairs when she heard her name

"Kimiko is worried about us Brian, what do you think of that hmmm or is that just one big joke like the rest of your life?" Kimiko's mother shouted. Kimiko sat on the stairs not daring to go downstairs when she was the argument subject. She stayed on the stairs, peering through the banisters.

"my life is not a joke you stupid cow, you don't know half the story" Brian shouted.

"that's because you are out half the time getting laid" she retorted. This remark seemed to have an effect on Brian, Kimiko's mother was expecting him to storm out, but he didn't.

"how DARE you, you don't understand ANYTHING" he said through gritted teeth

"I know more than you thing" she said back

"you BITCH" Brian shouted at Kimiko's mother and slapped her round the face, but he didn't stop there, he slammed her against the wall and began to slap her continuously…

"Stop" Kimiko whispered to herself, she wanted to shout out, she wanted to scream the word out to Brian, but she was terrified of whet he would to her. Brian stopped slapping Kimikio's mother and walked away, Kimiko's mother put her hands on her face and crouched on the ground, knees up to her chin and began to silently cry, Kimiko stared at the scene of her beloved mother crying, but then ran up to her room…

A/N: ok ok so that was a bit strange and you probably think I am rushing into things, which I am not so in your reviews don't go ' oh good story but you are rushing into things' because I AM NOT ok? Ok bye bye…
