CHAPTER 3: The Stormy Night
Ran's POV
"Yoru!" I called out Yoru's name. He had just ran past me and Nao, he seemed in such a hurry, I wonder why? Maybe his parents were strict about times and stuff.
"Ran, why were you walking out of school with Yoru?" my twin asked.
I smiled brightly, "Because he's my friend, Yoru's really nice once you get to know him."
"Ran you do realise people will start to talk and say bad stuff about you right?" he asked.
I blinked, why would people do that? Sure Yoru was a little different but was that a good enough reason to be so mean to him?
"And ah, even though I hate to ask who's jacket is that?" asked Sunao.
"It's Yoru's he let me keep after these guys nearly raped me and tore my shirt." I said calmly.
"Oh I see - wait, YOU WERE RAPED!!" exclaimed Sunao.
"NO!" I said, "well almost, but Yoru saved me!"
"Ohh."
He he, that shut him up, Sunao's always been over protective of me, like I'm the little brother and not him. I don't act like the older sibling, I like to goof off and I tend to never look before I leap. I'm also the more timid one out of us, I hate being yelled at and I don't like being called stupid or worthless. I guess you could call me girly to a certain point, if I had a boyfriend I'd be the Uke in the relationship and I'm perfectly happy that way. When we got home Sunao checked the phone and squealed.
"What?" I asked.
"Sora rang I'm gonna call back okay?" he said.
"Kay I'll be upstairs." I said, our parents had gone away for the week to attend a wedding, no children allowed you see. We were seventeen and still treated like little children it was so frustrating! I entered my room and flopped on my bed and sighed, I was bored I wanted to keep talking to Yoru more. I peered out my bedroom window there were dark rain clouds coming this way over the mountains, a storm was brewing and I shivered. I didn't like thunder or lightening, it frightened me but not as much as water did. I can't swim, and you won't get me near a swimming pool. As I looked out at the cloud covered sky I wondered wether Yoru was watching it too, I wonder if he liked the rain. A cold sudden shiver went up my spin, that was strange I only ever got that feeling if something bad was happening, oh God I hoped Yoru was okay. Gah! Now I'm getting paranoid, maybe I should have asked where he lived so I can check on him, NOOOOO! Now I'm acting like a stalker!
"I AM NOT A STALKER!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, only to then realise my brother was standing in the doorway, I laughed nervously, "h-hey Nao."
"Stalker?" he said putting his hands on his hips.
"I didn't mean it like that." I said quietly.
"Your obsessed with Yoru right?" he said as a matter of factly.
"NO! I am not, I just hope he's okay." I said, there whatcha gonna say about that?
"You've known the guy for a day and your already obsessed with him." said Sunao.
"I am not obsessed!" I said defensively.
"Come one Ran! You know you get obsessed with people you like," he said, well my twin did have a point if I found someone I was interested in I did tend to get a bit needy, "what is it you like about Yoru anyway and what do you think you can do to help!?"
I blinked, why was Sunao getting so mad about it, "he's a really nice and kind person he just needs a little help finding his voice again."
"Oh and what you think your just going to be that special person! Your not even that special Ran!" ouch, that one hurt, and it hurt bad.
"Why are you yelling at me!? Why are you being so mean!?" I snapped with tears rolling down my cheeks.
I saw Nao's face fall, "I'm sorry, it's just, I - I miss Sora and when I don't have him to lighten me up I guess, I just snap and get really angry," he said looking close to tears, "I'm- I'm sorry."
I walked over to my little brother and hugged him, "it's okay I forgive you." I said, "don't worry Sora will be back before you know it."
He hurriedly wiped away his tears and smiled, "yeah your right."
I smiled and said "good," this day couldn't get any worse could it? As if to mock me lightening cracked and the power went out and I screamed latching onto my brother nearly making him fall over.
"I'll go get a torch," he said and I whimpered, "just go sit on your bed I'll be right back." it was as if our roles had switched from me being the calm one to the scared one. Being alone scared me, I wondered if the power had gone out in Yoru's house too. GAH! There I go again, why can't I get him out of my head!?! I saw light coming up the stairs and my brother came in holding a torch Nao sat beside me and muttered, "well this sucks." I laughed, it meant we had nothing to do but sit and we really had hoped to watch TV tonight, our favourite show was on tonight it was called Weiss Kreuz(1).
"Ran," my brothers voice cut through the silence, "you should ask where Yoru lives tomorrow."
"What- wait your suggesting that?" I asked amazed he had suggested something like that.
"Yeah, well you like him right? Go over and hang out." he said just the tiniest bit smugly.
"You know, that's not a bad idea," I said, "alright I'll ask maybe he has a mobile I can text him!"
"You are so obsessed." he said with a sigh.
I blushed and denied, "I AM NOT!"
Nao just laughed and my outburst, I smiled a little, it was settled tomorrow I was going to ask Yoru where he lived. Who knows maybe I'll get to meet his parents and ask exactly why he was mute, I could hardly wait until tomorrow.
