This is the next chapter. I'd like to apologize for not updating yesterday. I was actually planning to, but was tied to bed with a stomach virus. Nothing serious, just one of those sick days that some people get. I think it might have been food poisoning. I don't really know, mostly because I toughed it out in bed instead of the doctor. Yeah, stupid, but I hate going and only go when needed, not for something I could sleep off in a day.
*Another thing, I picked Yokohama Station (an actual station in Japan) because, according to the character book, Akihito was born in Kanagawa Prefecture. For those of you who don't know, Yokohama is the capital of Kanagawa. Just wanted to point that out if any of you guys questioned why I picked these places. If you have any more questions later on feel free to PM me, because I may not see your comment or might miss it.
Enjoy the chapter!
January 10, 1991
7:35 pm, Wednesday
Eiji is babysitting me for the day. Basically, I'll have to wait for dinner, if it ever comes, and lock myself in my room for the rest of the night. Judging by the time I can make a pretty good guess that dinner won't be coming any time soon. Time to lock the door…
Now, without any worries of Eiji coming in without permission, I can write down my plan.
1) Get Money
The main issue I may have for my plan is the need for money. I hate to admit it, but I won't be able to survive long on my own without a means of purchasing food. Even I need to eat at least once a day, and considering I will be on my own that makes it even more important to have now. I'll have to check how much I have saved and how much my 'mom' has in her drawer.
2) Set a Specific Date
I can't just leave any day. Even though she doesn't care for me, 'mom' would still stop me from running away. She probably doesn't want to get in trouble with the police. It could be a Saturday, maybe even this Saturday. I'll already be out, I'll just leave earlier than usual and never come back.
3) Packing
What exactly am I supposed to bring with me? A backpack full of what exactly? Money, my camera, a few clothes i guess, and a couple packs of gum should do it. Gum will always be a good source of distracting hunger.
4) A Destination
Where exactly am I planning to go? *Yokohama Station is about an hour walking, then from there I can see what train is leaving next. Maybe I'll stay somewhere close. It would make it easier to know the area I was in. But, staying close could also make it easier for them to find me, and we wouldn't like that now would we?
I skipped a little to show that I left for a bit. It wasn't really worth to skip a page. Anyway, I had one of the scariest experiences with Eiji ever.
I was going to the bathroom, and I made sure that the coast was clear before I stepped out into the hallway. When I was about halfway to my wanted room, Eiji stepped out from behind the side wall. It scared me so much I jumped. I decided to speak to him, only to distract myself from the creepy look he was giving me.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I remember yelling at him.
He smirked at me, almost seeming amused by my outburst, "Can't a man walk around his girlfriend's house?"
"There's a man here?" I mumbled mostly to myself.
Apparently, it wasn't low enough because he let out an angry growl. Eiji came up suddenly and pushed me against the wall, his hands wrapped around my throat dangerously tight. "I'd watch that tongue of yours, unless you wish to lose it you filthy excuse for a boy!" he threatened.
By that point he was squeezing my neck really tight, to the point that air couldn't get past. I started to struggle, clawing at his hands around my throat. "L-let me g-go!" I managed to choke out. The funny thing is he did. He let go, and even bent down to see if I was okay.
At first I was confused, that is, until I heard him whisper, "Can't have your mom seeing that. She'll flip out and won't have sex with me for a week!"
I gave him a disgusted look. I mean, who wants to have sex with my 'mom'? "Stop touching me you stupid old man."
His eyes darkened in a way I haven't seen before. "Wouldn't you like me to touch you?" he asked, one of his hands going towards my thigh.
I, with much dignity if I may add, began to freak out.
"Get away from me you creep!"
I managed to push him back to the ground, getting up and making a run for the bathroom. I just barely jumped over the hand he reached out to grab me with. Once at the door I slammed it shut, taking plenty of deep breaths to calm my fast beating heart. Yes, it may have been over dramatic, sue me, I don't care! I was extra careful when coming back to my room.
What did I gain from my little run in with Eiji? The 100% true fact that he was a selfish jerk. A jerk I need to stay clear of. He keeps becoming creepier and no one believes me, or more like 'mom' doesn't believe me. She spanked me when I told her what he was doing. She called me a liar, that I was just jealous of her spending more time with Eiji and for having someone who loves her, unlike me. She said I was just trying to make her unhappy. Who am I supposed to tell then, when my so called mother doesn't vouch for me?
They can both go to hell, Eiji first because 'mom' doesn't try to touch me all the time. Then, after Eiji burns and is left for dead in a den of hungry demons, can my 'mom' go in as dessert.
Was that a little mean? I wouldn't care, but my dad would be disappointed if he ever found out I thought like that. Maybe they don't have to go to hell, they can just go into one of those poor, neglected elderly homes. Then they'll be treated like me and get a taste of what it feels like to be helpless. They will know how it is to not be able to defend themselves, and have people laugh at their misfortune. Yeah, that idea sounds better.
