Chapter 3 There Goes the Freedom I Though I was going to get

School ended very fast today. Now I'll have to go to hell and fulfill my duties. I walked home as slowly as I could even though every time when I arrived too slow "home" I always got a lecture about picking up the pace and getting home early to do my chores. As I was walking a black car went past me. When it went past me the tires splashed the muddy water onto me. I was covered with the muddy water from the rain the day before from head to toe. My hair was soaking wet. My white T-shirt was chocolate brown and my blue jeans seemed like it was tie-dyed.

"Were you blind or something? Can't you even go around the freaking puddle?" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Some people passing by were looking at me like I was some kind of crazy person. I clammed down and started my dreadful walk.

When I arrived to the Li's house the gates were open. That meant someone was over. I quickly ran inside the house hoping no one would see me. Luckily I made it to the bathroom without being discovered and took a clean shower and changed into some new clothing. I didn't know if I should stay up in my room or not. I decided to go down incase they needed any of my assistants. I always did have to act like a maid in this stupid house.

As I got closer to the end of the stairs I could hear the conversation that was going on.

"So he'll be taking over your company soon Mr. Li?"

"Yes. He's 22 now. He's been to college and graduated and now he needs to take care of the Li Corporation. He can't just sit around and get free money from me. He needs to learn how to get a life. Now he has too much free time. Beside him taking over the business, he'll also be living somewhere else too. I can't have him live here for the rest of his life too.

"So when is he moving out?"

"After Sakura graduates from high school, I'll need her to go and live with Syoaron and take care of his house for him. I know she'll be starting college pretty soon and she can still go too. I'll provide the ride."

After what Mr. Li had said my jaw was dropped to the ground. I didn't want to go live with Syoaron! Even though I didn't talk to him at all I hated him the most here. When he's violent, he gets very scary. I didn't want to be put in danger. It was possible he might even kill me!

"Oh, Sakura, there you are. Come into the living room and we are going to talk about your future." Mrs. Li spotted me still at the end of the stairs. I followed her without saying anything. I knew what they were going to say. I didn't want to do it at all, but I knew for a fact I wasn't going to be able to get out of it. Even if I was going to be 18 years old soon I still wouldn't be able to get out of their grips.

As I sat and heard the same conversation all over again I only kept my eyes to the floor. I wanted to cry, but the tears I wanted to fall had to be held back. The freedom I had hoped for was not going to come like I'd planned it would.

"Yes. I understand. After my gradation I'll move in with Syoaron and take care of everything in the house." I replied.

"Great. It's settled then."
