Chapter 1: My new Home

I made it to Yokohama. It was nothing like the states and to be honest I didn't like it. There were so many people at the train station that I couldn't even walk without being pushed! Not to mention people kept stepping on my feet! It made me very uncomfortable. I was praying that Abi would hurry up soon and god answered my call.

I saw her pushing her way through the sea of people and looked annoyed when some guy started talking to her. Finally she made her way to me and without saying a word; she grabbed my hand and started to run out the station.

"Sorry about that. I should have mentioned how crowed the station gets but other than that….I'm so happy to see you! Wow did you get taller? Did you cut your hair? How old are you again? Goodness it's been ages!"

I didn't have enough time to answer he questions because she grabbed me by the hand and started running again. "Why are we running?" I asked. I'm too out of shape for this!

"Because it quicker and plus we have a lot of stuff to do!" she said happily.

"A lot of stuff? Shouldn't we…find me a place to live first?" I asked.

"No because you're staying with me silly! You are going to live with me until we find you the best job in the world!"

"Ok that sounds good to me."

"I'm sure it does. Now let's go celebrate!" She is way to happy for me but then again it has been 3 years since we saw each other. She lived in the states with me for awhile until her mother got a job in Japan.

I was angry because her mother didn't care about what Abi wanted and only cared about herself. I was glad when Abi told me she moved out and started living on her own. She said her life was better than with her so called mother.

Finally we stopped running and went into a bar. I knew what Abi meant by "celebrate" but I'm not the drinking type. She knew this and still brought me here…I wonder what she's up to.

"Ok I know you don't like to drink but since we haven't seen each other in 3 years I am asking politely that you have one drink with me."

"Just one?" I asked.

"Just one." She said nodding her head. I trust Abi but sometimes she's just sneaky…very sneaky. I nodded my head and said ok. I'll play along for now.

"What do you want to drink?" she asked.

"Hm…Just get two of what you get." She gave me a malicious grin and said ok. I regret everything I said before. She got me a Baltimore Bang.

After we got the drinks we started talking about the past and what we did throughout the 3 years we missed together. Abi told me about how she was dating a guy named Akiyoshi and how he was dating other girls behind her back. She said one of them was her friend and that she would always laugh when they saw each other. What a horrible friend.

"So what about your love life?" She asked throwing me off guard.

"I…uh…I haven't been seeing anyone."

"Really? What about the 3 years we haven't seen each other?"

"No one. I'm not interest in dating right now."

"Wow…we are so changing that!"

"No we are not! I'm fine."

"No you're not! I bet you haven't had sex have you?"

"What! No I'm still pure and always will be!"

"Sigh…yea we really have to fix that."

"Whatever." I started drinking my Baltimore Bang and felt sick. I hate the taste of liquor but for Abi I'll drink it.

After awhile I started to feel woozy. Once Abi saw this she suggested that we go to her place before it gets dark. She called a cab and we went to her apartment. When we got there I was surprised at how small it was. She had 2 rooms, a bathroom and a bedroom.

"Um…where am I going to sleep?" I asked looking around the small place.

"In my room if you want to or you could sleep on my couch. It's little but it's better than the floor." She said looking slightly embarrassed. I didn't care where I slept as long as I get some sleep. So I walked over to her couch and passed out. I told myself that when I wake up I have to look for a job.
