Chapter # 4: Tohma's An Angel
I sat beside my mother, hugging her. She hugged me in return. We just cried into each other. I looked like her. Everyone said I looked like my mother. It was the eyes. I had her violet eyes. That's the only reason I looked like her at all. I had my father's pink hair and my mother's violet eyes. Maiko had our mother's brown hair and our dad's blue eyes.
I lie in bed, staring out the window, watching the rain fall. My bedroom light was on, so if anyone walked by, they'd see a pink haired boy staring his window at nothing. Suddenly a car pulled into the drive way. A taxi cab. I heard foot steps in the hallway and soft sobs. I stared out the window. A pink haired male went out the door and started down the long driveway.
"Dad?"
I got up and ran out of my room, my mother was crying in her doorway. I didn't have the time to help her right now and besides, she had Maiko. I ran down the stairs and out the door.
"DAD!" I screamed.
"DAD!"
He was already in the taxi and the taxi had pulled out onto the road.
"DAD!"
He didn't tell the driver to stop the car. It started down the street.
"DAD!"
My mother came out of the house,
"SHUICHI! COME BACK HERE!"
"NO!"
I didn't dare. I wouldn't just give up.
"SHU-CHAN!" My little sister Maiko called,
"COME BACK! COME BACK SHU-CHAN!"
"NO!"
I could hear other voices talking to, in the background while I was running.
"SHU HAVE YOU LOST YOU MIND!" Hiro called after me,
"GET BACK HERE!"
"NO!"
"Tohma? WHERE ARE YOU GOING TOHMA!" Suguru called out.
"AFTER SHU!" He called back.
I kept running, I followed the car, seeing it get further and further out of my reach. Finally, I slipped and fell. I pounded my fist off the ground. Tohma suddenly showed up, he skidded on his knees beside me. He took my injured hand and wrapped it up. He embraced me,
"I know how much pain your in…Emotionally…I lost my father this way too, only I was four."
I cried into him. I wouldn't struggle against him. Somehow I trusted him.
"Come on now, I'll walk you back home."
I wouldn't listen to my mom, sister, or even my best friend when they all called me back home…
But I was going to listen to Tohma.
