Chapter 3:

Ikuto's POV:

Wow ... She -

"Wow mate she looked at me ! She's hot , I meean I wanna do her b-". (Kukai speaking)

"What?! I think she was looking at me! Well sorry Kukai I'm coming before you.", I said , tryig to sound calm. Butseriously this girl was as hot as bruning fire.

Like hell.

She was hell. Her attitude was amazing. She acted like she didn't care.

"Hey if i follow her to find out where she lives , would that make me-"

"Yep Kukai. That would make you a stalker.", I said laughing.

....

"Well let's meet at the football ground today, kay mate?", Kukai asked excited.

"Gosh. Stop screaming like a fan girl. You sound pretty gay."; I said cooly.

"Aw come on Ikuto-kuuuuuun~. I know yo love me.!", he said childishly.

"Yeah in your dreams, I'm not into guys. YOu of all should know that. Well see ya later, kay?", I said chuckling.

It wa already 7 cause I was with Kukai all day. No! nOt that , like I said I am NOT gay! We were just talking about a party we want to make on the weekend for celebrating.. yeah ...what celebrating? The beginning of school? nah...better not.

More like, -The beginning of a term full of girls and sex and fun.- sounds better.

I was walking through the small park, shortcut home. When I suddenly saw a flash of pink.

Guess what. God's on my side. Amu.

She was sittin on a bench in the park, phoning. She couldn't see me, case her back was towards me.

"Ok, look Chuck. I know it isn't hard."

.....

"Yes. Apparently I have to go to school and learn."

....

"Doesn't matter I still don't have time to get it, kay."

......

"I'm not a slut!... look I can give you the money tomorrow."

......

"OK. Just look that you'll have it thursday."

.........

"No. Definitly not you tosser !"

...........

Okay ....what was she doing ? what the hell was she talking about. Now I was really concerned.

"Could you stop stalking me already?", she asked annoyed.

WTF?! i wasn't stalking!

"I wasn't stalking!"

"Oh really. So it was just a coinsidence that you were listened to my conversation for 5 minutes ?"

"Well. I couldn't overhear it. What the hell were you talking about. Trying to kill somebody?", asked her ; acting serious.

"Try to do that again, and I'll have a target.", she asked looking at me closly.

Then she chuckled and started to laugh loudly.

I had to laugh, too. We laughed a long time together and people passing were thinkin we were weirdos. Well not so far from that.

"Well I have to got now. I'll be late. So see you tomorrow at school. Playboy.",she said smirking.

"Okay...well yeah see ya !"

And then she went...

WTF JUST HAPPENED!?! she made me laugh! LAUGH! A girl made me do that. What the hell is wrong with this world. And she called me playboy. ! well it's not like she's lyieng but still...

Amu's POV:

I could hear the loud voices of my mum and dad. Propably fighting. Like ...always.

I opened the door and got in. It looked like there was a bomb attack in my house. Everything was on the floor and broken.

"Yeah!! And youre the slut who just had to fuck with my boss !!! Am I right?!", my Dad screamed at my mom. I couldn't see them they were upstairs in their bedroom.

"Oh yes ! And guess why?!!! Because youre never there. NEVER! You just ALWAYS have to work. Your work is more important than your family!!!!", I heardher screaming with a cracked voice.

I sighed. Oh boy, again. Can't they just break up?

I know it's sounds horrible when I say that. It's not like I want them to but it'd be definitly better than this fighting all day long.

My Dad used to be a bird photographer but then got a really big job for photographing models. And we moved to tokyo. That was about 2 years ago. Everything went smooth but after 6 or 7 months my Dad got a lot of jobs and wasn't there for days. Sometimes a week or 2. My Mum got frustrated and drank a lot in that time. She stopped working and just lied the whole Day in her bed and drank and smoke.

My little sister Ami, she is 8 now, is always crying. I practicly have to do everything. You know I have to get her ready in the morning for pre-school and pick her up after school. Today my mum picked her up. She was in quite a good mood the last few days. But well. Thanks Dad, that changed just now.

I hated my dad. Of course it was bad that Mum betrayed him, but that was no reason for this behaviour. He shouts at her everytime he is here and he hits her until she bleeds. And then he would come down and look at me and Ami full of hatred.

He hated us , yes. Why ? Dunno ask him. He propably hates everything he lived with the last 20 years with mum... That includes us. He just came here to pick up his stuff left. But sometimes just because he wants to shout at mum and let his anger out. we wouldn't let him in, but unfortunatly he got the keys.

He still sends mum money for us, he's rich and he has enough. But he wouldn't do out of love for us or care. No. He just gives us money so that mum wouldn't contact the court and tell them. She is scared of him, like hell.

And me and ami? I would tell the court but well , mum would be mad at me.

I got up the stairs and got in my room. I heard them even more now. Their bedroom was opposite of mine. I threw my bag somewhere in my room and put some music on. Now it's better. I opened my closet and guess what I saw. ?

Ami was sitting there, more like curled up in a ball. I heard her quiet sobbering.

I sighed "Ami. You still do that?" I took by her hand and got her out. I put her on my bed and she lied down. Her back was toward me and I couldn't see her face but I could guess that she was still crying.

"Amu? W-why are they d-doing this?", she asked me quietly.

"... I really don't know. And I guess I will never.", I said .

I heard her sigh. I lied down beside her and hugged her. I felt her responding hugg. "It's okay to cry, ami.", I told her.

Then I heard her sobb and cry. After 10 minutes she was quiet and fell asleep.

I got up from the bed and put the blanket over her.

I turned the musik a bit lower and put on some nice, slow music.

I heard the door of the othe bedroom close. Hard.

I opened the door and there he stood. He was looking at me with a really angry look.

"So youre leaving. Huh?", I snapped. He looked at me, confused.

"Obviously. Why should I stay anyway.?", he grumped.

"There's money on the desk in the livingroom. For this month is it enough."

Then he just left without another word. Or goodbye.

I went to my mums Room. She was sitting on the floor, crying. She was bleeding

at her head. I went to the bathroom and took a wet towel and put some alcohol on it. After 5 minutes she was sleeping in her bed.

I went down to the living room and cleaned the mess up. That took me about 1 hour. I was used to it anyway.

Now I took some of the money that dad left and wrote a note.

'I am going out to buy some food. Be here at 11.00'

I had to get of here, I couldn't stand it anymore.

So I went to the small park near my house.

I sat down on that bench. I sat before.

I pulled out my pack of cigarettes and took one. I was thinking about mum and dad and ami. Why did it had to turn out like this.

We had been such a good family. My dad was a loving dad and husband. My mum always took care of everything. They were both pretty clumsy and pretty embarrasing. How I missed that time.

Ami was always cheering, laughing and loves everyone and everything. Now she just was scared and shy.

I used to be good kid too. I always took care of my sister, which I do now, still.

But I always had good graded, never smoked, never drank alcohol and never took drugs. I always came home on time.

And now I was really fucked up. Everything changed. And the only time I can to calm down and forget the stress is in school or with my friends.

My best friends, Yuuki, Ash and Sam. Sam and Yuuki were twins and had kind of the same problem. Family. Their dad was abusing their mum and them, they always ran away. And Ash lived with his big Brother, Eve. Cause his parent and his grandparent were all dead. We were practicly a gang of problem kids.

We were hanging out all the time. I just had to send a message to them, when I wanted some time out and they came. We were always meeting here. Because the park was usually empty in the evening.

I could already see them coming....

Ash's POV:

So Amu called us and wanted to meet. Just to hang out and forget her problems, like we all wanted to.

I saw her sitting on the bench. Her long, pink hair was swaying in the wind and her golden eyes were looking at me. Us. She looked pretty messed up. Her eyes were red and her hair was a mess, but she still looked stunning beautiful.

Yep you noticed. I am madly in love with her. Tough she doesn't know it.

I try to hide it but it gets pretty obvious.

And i definitly don't want to ruin our relationship.

"Hey amu-chan!!", Yuuki screamed and huggeg her. Like we all did.

"Did you bring it?", Amu asked Sam.

"Of course, but it's not much. Did you phone Chuck and told him?", he asked curiously.

"Yep. That Idiot will have it tomorrow night. So on Saturday it's settled then, right?", she asked brightly.

Yep Saturday....

Again.....
