Hearts Disguised
Chapter 8
A Broken Heart
Note: I hope you're all enjoying this story. Here's another update for you all. I'm sorry that it's not as long as you all hoped, but things will get better in the near future. I'm just setting up the story for you guys. After this is when things start to get really interesting.
Why was there another note that I had to read? Yang was so hesitant walking into the room. Seeing two empty chairs and an ominous note was a horrible sight. She was wondering where Coco was or why there was a note there. She dropped her things next to the chair and picked the note slowly. She took a deep breath and opened it up.
I'm sorry I have to do this to you. I wanted to tell you in person, but you weren't here yesterday so I guess this was the only way I could tell you. My father and I packed up and moved away. I don't know where or why, but I do that he was furious. I'm sorry that you had to find out this way, but there was nothing I could do. My father isn't the type of person that can be influenced by words. I just want to say sorry. I wish I could be there to help you out and be your friend, but that just won't happen. However, I'm sure you'll be fine. You're a great person and I'm sure you'll alright. Good luck.
Your Friend,
Coco
Yang let go of the note and watched it float to the ground. Right as it touched the floor, a tear hit it as Yang fell to her knees. It was impossible to let her true feelings, but the tears weren't going to stop. It was happening again. Another note about someone being taken away from her. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. These kind of things weren't supposed to be happening to her. She never did anything wrong. She want to do anything wrong and yet, she felt like she was being punished. She suddenly grabbed her bag and stormed out.
As she did, she somehow bumped into Blake. The two of them were knocked to the ground, but Yang didn't pay attention to it. She just got up quickly and ran off. On the other hand, Blake saw her tears fall to the ground and knew that something was wrong. She tried grabbing her things off the ground as fast as she could, but by the time she looked up, Yang was already gone. She stood up slowly and was completely confused.
There's something going on with that girl.
Completely disregarding school, Yang made it off of campus and headed into the city where she found herself dying off in a park. She collapsed under a tree and pressed her hands against her head. She kept thinking about what's been going on and what might have caused her to have to go through such horrible things. She never did anything wrong and yet, things were happening to her that she couldn't explain.
She's lost her parents. Her little sister was taken away from her. And now, her only friend was no longer attending her school. What else was there to take? She looked up towards the sky and screamed as loud as she could. She was so confused and so hurt. Nothing made sense anymore. She suddenly grabbed her things and stood up like a zombie as she made her way back to the orphanage. She creeped her head through the door and saw that Cathy wasn't there. Once it was clear, she headed to her room was she locked the door behind her and stared at herself in the mirror.
Is there something wrong with me? Did I do something to cause all of this? I don't think I did, but then again, I'm probably looking at things from my own point of view. Maybe that's my problem. I'm only thinking of myself and not anyone else. That thought remained her head for a long time as she continued to think about it. She was being selfish. Selfishness is a part of everyone, but maybe it was just a little dominant in her life. Suddenly, a conflicting thought entered her mind.
Maybe things are just meant to be this way. I'm pretty sure that I've done nothing wrong. Sometimes, innocent people are punished for no reason. Maybe I'm one of those people. Maybe I'm just meant to be punished. I guess there's nothing I can do.
After about an hour of staring at the mirror, she made her way back to her bed where she sat down and stared at the ground. Time went by as the building started to fill up with other girls' voices as school was finally over for the day. However, Yang decided to stay in her room. When dinner was called, she remained in her room and continued to stare at the ground. Eventually Cathy came knocking, but Yang didn't answer. With the lights off and as night seasoned, the darkness started to surround her until she was completely blind except for the small light from the moon. That's when she finally moved.
She got up from her bed and walked over to the window. She looked up at the moon and for some reason, it felt like it was staring right at her. It wasn't a pleasant feeling and after only a few seconds, she hid from the window and collapsed to her knees. At that moment, tears started to escape her eyes as she couldn't hold it in any longer. She screamed out in pain and pressed her hands against her eyes.
"What is wrong with me?! What did I ever do?!" Her whole body fell onto the floor and drowned in her own tears. Time went on like it usually does until the night was late and everyone was finally asleep. By that time, Yang finally calmed down and stood up, wiping her swollen eyes. At that moment, she knew what to do. I can't stay here anymore.
She quickly walked over to her bed and pulled out her bag. She started to pack everything she had into the small bag. Everything inside of her told her that this was the right thing to do. Nothing there offered anything to her so it was just a waste to be there. If she want missing, she didn't care. She just assumed it would be part of the list of punishments she would go through. She continued to pack her things until the last thing that was left was a picture of her and her once family. She examined the picture carefully and saw that everyone was smiling and happy. She gripped the picture frame tightly and threw against the wall, shattering it to pieces.
"I don't need you anymore. That'll never happen, and I don't need to be reminded of what used to be. The past is passed so I'm done with you." She threw the bag over her shoulder and walked over to the window where she slid it open. Without even looking back, she jumped out of the building and went to find somewhere to live. She didn't know where she was going, but she knew that wherever she was going, it would be better than where she was now. She was alone. She knew it and she was prepared to live out the rest of her life the darkness she knew now as her life.
