Chapter 2- Family Problems

He was taking his daily jog one night when he came by a house and heard voices yelling at each other. Suddenly, a girl slammed the door and walked out onto the sidewalk. He couldn't really see who she was because there was no street light on that part of the street. But he could make out that she had short hair and wore really casual clothes. She looks familiar. Akito decided to follow her so he could find out who she was. He followed her silently. He watches as she kicked the wall giving out a slight groan of pain. His eyes narrowed. His eyes narrowed. So she does what I do when I had to leave the house. He looks at his watch. 7:30. She should be at home eating dinner right now. Then again, I should be too. But I already ate. Maybe she did too.

She placed her hands in her jeans pocket, and looked up into the sky. There were many stars shining down. Ches somehow knew that her dad was watching over her from the stars. 'Dad...why aren't you here? Can't you see how much mom has changed? She hates me now.' She felt her eyes watering. Blinking rapidly, she raced to the park. Her place of solitude.

Akito blinked. Who knew she could run so fast. Running after her, he watches as she sits on an empty bench. He walks closer and soon, he sees tears running down her face. He stopped in his tracks. It was her. Ches. Why is she crying?

"Hey."

She jumped up in fright. She faced the voice behind her. "Oh, what do you want now?" Akito kept silent and sat on the bench.

"You're crying." He said simply.

Ches glared at him as she dried her tears. "So? Why would you care? I'm not weak!"

"Never said you were." There was a moment of silence. "What's your problem anyways?"

"What?! I got no problem! So shut your face!"

"Liar."

Ches stood silent. How would he know? "Fine. I got a problem. But it doesn't concern you!"

"Why would I care? You were the one crying. Plus I heard yelling from your house. I was just curious." He coolly pointed out to her.

There was a pause of silence.

"So?"

"'So' what?"

"What's the problem?"

"Hah! So you did want to know."

"So you do have a problem."

"uh.....no I was just proving you wrong."

"But that still proves that you do have a problem anyways. So what is it?"

"Ummm...I'm not telling."

"Suit yourself."

"Fine! I'll tell! My mom hates me!! There!! You happy now??"

"Why?"
"When I was three, my family lived in Japan. We were very happy together. On Christmas day, my parents lit candles in the rooms. Being the clumsy person that I was, I accidentally knocked over a candle. I didn't tell my parents what happened; I just stood there and stared at it. I had no clue of what was going on. My parents were outside at that time, so they didn't notice it. But when I felt that it was getting hotter, I started to run out. The fire grew really quickly. My dad noticed that there was smoke coming from the house. I can't remember much but my mom said that he ran in to same me. He found me and started to get out of the burning building, but when we got to the door, a piece of wood fell down and blocked the exit. He handed me over to someone outside, but he was caught..." she paused for a second, "and then the building collapsed onto him. We rushed him to the hospital, but it was too late. There my dad died. After that my mom didn't want to see anything that would stir up her memory, so we moved here, and she hated me since for knocking it over, for not telling them ...for killing my dad." then he saw a single tear roll down her eye.

"Oh.........." he didn't know what to do, so he just reached in to a bag and took something out.
"What, you have nothing else to say about it?" he handed her the tape. "What is this?"

"My friend made it. I think it may help you and your mom."

She stared at the tape. "Why should I watch this? Why should I trust you?"

"Because it helped me."

"Why should I." She warily eyed him, still distrusting him.

"Because I said so, and I'm trustworthy."

"You? Trustworthy? Hah!" She scoffed. He rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Don't believe me. Give me my tape back when you're done." With that, he left her sitting on the bench.

He got home and headed straight to bed. He just laid there unable to fall asleep. Is this how Sana felt when she was trying to help me? Did she feel sorry for me like I do for Ches?...............Sana, wish you were here………..Sana, and with that thought, he drifted into a deep sleep.

A/N: Kawaii Violinist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(karebearluv15) This story was pretty much co-written with her. I gave the main ideas and she gave the details. So thank you!!!
