My Life

Existence twenty-two: Jin

Guh! This is a HUGE waste of time! At least 100 words! That sucks! Who made me do this…

'ight. So I live with my mom in a flat in Tokyo and she works as a guidance counselor at Yamabuki Junior High which is the school I go to. Right now she's going out with this prat named Kamio Kensuke. He's so dumb and partially crimpled so he can't walk very long and it's really annoying because we went to the park and we kept having to stop.

Oh no, it gets worse.

He's going to marry her in 6 weeks.

She used to have a husband- it wasn't always me and her.

She got married to my dad at seventeen. Yeah, young, but legal. Dad was a big sports star, he played everything; soccer, tennis- you name it, he played it. Then they started screaming at each other. When they would start to fight I would call Taka. Taka would talk to me at any time- it didn't matter if it was two AM, he would still talk. Then Taka went to Australia with his mum and I didn't have anyone to call so I listened to what was going on. It turned out my dad had been seeing other women who… well… were not the cleanest of people and had a kid with one of them when I was two. Finally I was listening and he hit her. I ran down to the kitchen and she was lying on the ground, hand on her cheek- tears crawling down her face. He then ran of with one of his girlfriends. They're married now.

I took my mum's last name after that. I didn't want any connection to that man, Kyo Osakada.

Anyway.

I tend to make everything worse.

Taka used to be my best friend, but after my dad left I just stopped talking to him and started being meaner to everyone. So eventually… I was just left by myself. No one wanted to be around me anymore. I pretended it was what I wanted. I found myself sinking into a deep depression. Deeper and deeper.

Now my mom is always worried about me and crying all the time so she thinks what I need is a daddy. So her friends hook her up with that sissy and his two sons. Yes, one of those Fudomine, we-love-tennis prats is one of them. And then there's a baby named… Oh God, I can't remember. Whatever.

But now everyone is planning their wedding and I've just been sort of erased. I wish I really could erase myself.

Would my dad have stayed back home is I hadn't been born?

But I can't erase myself because, despite her insane mistake of what I need, I really care about my mom. That's why I don't want her to get married. What if his Kamio guy turns out to be as much of a jerk as my dad? I don't want my mom to get hit ever again.

I won't let any man hit her again.

When I decided to write this chapter I got so freaked out. Ahhhh! I haven't written in this forever! Well, I do have a few excuses:

1 I was away for 4 days.

2 I don't get wireless on my computer and I didn't have it plugged in for quite some time while we had guests.

3 I have been working on other things.

4 I haven't been in the mood for writing in this fanfic.

There. 4 excuses.

Also I noticed that in a lot of reviews I got questions about the competition. The main one being:

"Who is Taki Haginosuke?"

Taki Haginosuke is an ex-regular from Hyotei Gakuen. He was defeated by Ryo and Ryo got back his starter spot. Does that help? Who have as long as you want to write but I would prefer it if you did it soon.

Reviews!
