Charlies POV

I look at the violin case, I had viewed it twice in my lifetime since my mother gave it to me as she was leaving my house never to return and the first time being when I was much younger and the lone memory of my mother had returned and the second time had been just now, I still had alot of the same emotions of when I was younger, however I decided to open it.

I opened it to find a violin, it looked used and it was quite dusty from the lack of use over the years, there was also a bow that was still in very good condition, However there was also a small teddy bear and a rolled up note which caught Charlie's eye.

Charlie picked up the note and unrolled it, seeing its contents

Dear Charlie

I'm not sure if you will ever read this, but if you do then I need to tell you some things.

First of all the reasoning i'm leaving you and your father isn't yours or your fathers fault, its mine, I felt like my heart wanted to return to Japan to see my family and also to reunite that flame with the pianist I idolised since I was 5. Did you know before I faked my death and went to Amercia to cure my disease, that me and Kousei were in love with each other.

I was close of thinking of taking you back to Japan to live with my family and Kousei, but by doing that Dil would lose everything and hes too good and kind of a man for me to do that to him. so I left you regrettably which will possibly haunt me in the time to come as I didn't want to leave you as your my son and I love you.

So I decided to leave you my violin that I have for many years before, the same one that I used to peform my duet with Kousei, the same one that I used to peform in music contests and the same one that I first ever had.

I don't know if we will ever speak again

Love From

Your mother Kaori Miyazono

I also saw a picture enclosed in the note, it showed a picture of my mother holding me as a baby, she looked alot like me, my father wasn't wrong in saying that I look alot like my mother, she had my hair colour (Blonde) although my hair was very curly like my fathers, she also had my eyes. According to my father I also smirk very similarly to her as well.

I smiled at the note and realised she was in a difficult situation, but also a feeling of annoyance came to me, why couldn't of she contacted me on the phone or tell this Kousei of my mere existence in which they could connect with me again after all these years

After Arguing with myself for 10 minutes, I decided to leave it under the bed for now, although I might show my teacher Miss Ichinose tomorrow, she apprantly knows a thing or two about violins.

Afterwards I was on the computer and later fell asleep

The Next Day

I woke up around about 7, got breakfast and then got changed ready for school before taking both my bag as well as the violin case from yesterday, I then met up with my friends: John and Brian as we walked to school:

"Whats that big pink box your carrying Charlie" said John

"Its a violin case and I found it under my bed" I said

"Why are you bringing it to school" said John

"You know supersell" I said

"Yeah" said both John and Brian

"Well Im thinking of selling it, so I wanted to show Mrs Ichinose, our music teacher as she knew all about violins" I said

"Yeah arent you also one of her favourite students" said John

Not this again

"Yeah she treats you way nicer than most of us" said Brian

"Guys, its probably because that I know bits and pieces about music, also I've got good grades in it as well" I said

"Good genes as well" said John giving me a smirk

Yes John and Brian know my mother is a musician, my father may have told them before.

"Doesn't Mrs Ichinose teach Science as well" said Brian

"Yeah me and Charlie have her, she is just as nice to him as she is to him in music" said John

"Again, I do well in classes unlike you" I said

"Hey, I do work hard" said John, me and Brian are chuckling at that remark.

We enter into the school and did lessons, afterwards I approach Mrs Ichinose who was sat on her desk

"Hello Charlie, what did you want to see me about" said Mrs Ichinose

"Ive got this violin and wanted to know how much it was worth" I said as I hand Mrs Ichinose the violin

Mrs Ichinose examined the violin and looked at stuff such as the Bow, Case and Nametag

"Is the violinst Kaori Miyazonos original violin" said Mrs Ichinose

"Yes it is" I said

"Yeah this is worth a fortune, estimated between $5000 and $10000" said Mrs Ichinose

I couldn't believe the last thing my mother gave to me is worth a fortune

"How did you obtain it" said Mrs Ichinose

"It was given to me by my mother" I said

"Aww did she buy it as a present or auction maybe" said Mrs Ichinose curiously

"She was the one who orginally played the instrument" I said

Mrs Ichinose jaw dropped, she looked at my face and examined it before responding "Are you Kaoris son"

I sighed and said "Yes I am Kaoris son, although I haven't seen her since I was 3 as she left me and my father to move back to Japan to rekindle her old romance, she gave me that violin before she left"

Mrs Ichinose then gave me back the violin and said "Im not sure its a great idea to sell the violin"

"Why not" I said

"Because this might be one of the only things that remind of you of your mother, although the memories might not be as strong, its a sign that your mother must of really loved you to leave you something as priceless as this" said Mrs Ichinose

"Ok, i wont sell the violin" I said

Im about to leave and then Mrs Ichinose calls me back

"I need to talk to you about something"

I walk back to the desk

"Right, your grades have been really good in not just in mine, but in many other classes" said Mrs Ichinose

"Thanks I guess, I try to work as hard as possible" I said

"As a result the school has asked you to mentor a upcoming student in your year" said Mrs Ichinose

Upcoming Student, we are two grades away from finishing school, why would a student switch schools

"Why would this person be new if he or she is in our year" I said

"Because She had been expelled from her previous school for fighting and disobedience, also for being a delinquent, her parents are close friends of mine and I offered to help her by moving to the states" said Mrs Ichinose

"Whats her name" I said

"Ushio Okazaki" Mrs Ichinose said
