Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits basket but I do own Suki. She's my own character. :)
A/N: Sorry it took so long. This chapter goes more into the daily life of Suki. It's a little dramatic, but whose life isn't? R&R :)
"Can we be friends?"
"What?"
"Friends? You know? Talk about things, hang out, go places… Friends."
"I guess. You seem alright."
"Thanks, I think. You wanna hang out after school tomorrow?"
"Sure. I don't have anything better to do. You should come over."
"Okay, can you wait for me after school, I don't know where you live."
"Yeah, I'll wait for you. See ya."
"Bye…"
Well, that didn't go terrible. But it didn't go great either. Can we be friends? What the hell was I thinking? I was wanting to ask more if we could go out together sometime… Well I messed that up already no didn't I?
I walked inside. The house was near silent. Something that rarely happens around here. My sisters, Norbera and Karin, were sitting on the couch watching TV. While my mother was sitting at the table with a cigarette and bills in her hands. She looked drunk. GREAT!
She looked up and saw me.
"Who was that?"
"Who was who mom?"
"That boy? The one with orange hair? Your boyfriend or something?"
"I don't have a boyfriend, and no, he's just a boy from school. He walked me home from the bonfire."
"Why didn't you tell me there would be boys? Are you trying to piss me off? Do you want to end up like me? You want to be stuck with 6 kids, no job, and a shitty life?"
"Mom, knock it off. You don't need to be acting like this in front the girls."
"Who gives a shit? I don't!"
"Well, that's obvious. So shut up and go to bed. I'll put the girls to bed. Did you feed them tonight?"
"Don't talk to me like that you bitch. What kind of mother do you think I am, of course I fed the kids."
"Whatever. Come on, Karin. Norbera. Time for bed."
I put them to sleep, and by the time I came out to the living room, mom was passed out on the table. I went over to her, and got her awake enough to stand. I helped her over to the couch and she fell instantly into sleep.
I deal with this every night. Some things never change. I want out of here, but I'm scared to go. Not scared for myself, but for the kids. Mom forgets that they need to be watched. She forgets they need to be fed and bathed. That's usually my job every night. She also doesn't have a job, so it's hard to leave when I'm the income of the house.
I cleaned up the kitchen and the dining room before I grabbed my cell phone and called my dad.
"Hello?"
"Hey, daddy."
"Hey baby girl. How are you?"
"How do you think? Mom's passed out drunk, I just got home an hour ago and I already had to put Karin and Norbera to bed and clean."
"Why so late? Were you out or something?"
"Yeah, some friends were having a bonfire so I went and hung out. Mom flipped because a boy walked me home."
"A boy, huh? Boyfriend?"
"No, just a boy. Just a friend. We just talked and that was it, mom just freaks out over everything."
"I know sweetie. But just think, You'll be outta there soon right? I mean, you're 16. 2 years and you're done. So just hang in there girlie. I love you."
"Love you too dad. I'm going to go to sleep. School tomorrow. So I'll talk to you later."
"Okay. Be safe. And Call me if you need ANYTHING. Bye bye."
"bye."
Dad has always been the one person I can count on. I don't know why I didn't go live with him instead. That was the worst mistake of my life.
Hope you enjoyed it. New chapter up probably today, I've got spare time and inspiration. :) reviews are wonderful.
