Welcome to chapter three, yes I know I am slow on updating which is why the unrewritten went a bit too fast for my liking. I WILL update it once this story catches up a bit and the story might slightly change in this version, but that is all you will hear from me for now. Just enjoy reading!
I haven't spoken to the members of the club since that day, heck, I even ignored Momo and Kaoru. How was I supposed to know that all of that was about to change.
After the final ring I quickly pack my back before I run home.
"Mom, dad! I'm home!" I shout as I storm inside. I look around and find my dad lying on the couch.
"Dad?" I say as I poke him a few times. I wouldn't have gotten a response either way, because as I hysterically called out to my mother nothing happened. He didn't even move. I couldn't think, but I remember that I started crying on the floor and I remember seeing people walking into our house and taking him away. Yet I couldn't think, I couldn't believe it. Hell, I WON'T believe it! The days that passed, did so in a blur. I can't even remember making the tests we had to take for the semester, I can't remember the classes.
"Miria-chan!" Alicia and Serah yell as they run towards me.
"Alice, Serah?" I ask, though I still feel numb.
"What the heck happened?" Alice asks in shock as she looks at me.
"Maybe something happened to Kintaro-san." Serah says as she voices her thoughts.
"Want to stay at my place for the night?" Alice asks me with concern evident on her face.
"Sure." I say as I look at her.
That night was the first time I talked about what had happened, about how I felt and how I didn't know what I wanted to do myself. I told them how I felt about being forced into playing tennis, about how I want to walk my own path. I even told them about my mom's plan to force me to date tennis players and how I've hated it since the beginning. I remember telling them that I'd never wanted to date a tennis player, how they're obnoxious and irritating. It felt as if they truly are my family instead of just friends.
"Come on, time for school!" Alice and Serah shake me as they yell in my ears.
"Yeesh, you guys sure are cheerful." I moan as I sit up straight.
"Breakfast is ready!" Alice's mom yells from downstairs.
"Sweet!" We shout in unison before we all get ready.
"So tomorrow's the day, huh?" Serah says as she stares at her breakfast a few minutes later.
"Yeah, let's all go." Alice answers her.
"Thanks girls." I say as I reluctantly eat my breakfast.
