I felt my heart stop when he said my name. 'Here it come' I thought preparing myself to be kick out. "Ruth-chan your wounds have healed which means you would be leaving now . But I have a different idea in mind. I would like you to stay here with us a bit longer. Of course you will have to get your mother's permission".
I looked at him in disbelief. I not know what to tell him exactly, I stayed silent . "Give me time to think about it" I asked
"Take all the time you need, I can wait until you have come to a decision" he replied.
"Thank you, may I go now" I said.
"Yes" he said smiling at me. I stood up and left. I went straight to the clinic, wanting to get my things together. I sat on the bed that for the pass weeks I had slept on. I spread my items on the bed, sitting there I stared at each item as I packed them. I grabbed my phone from its charging station. 'Like always no calls, texts or even emails from mother but that wasn't something new. Mother has always trusted me to behave. She never felt the need to give me too much attention. I guess that's a good thing' I thought as I looked through my phone. Wanting to avoid everyone I slipped outside through the clinic, leaving a note on the bed.
"Ruth-chan dinner is ready" said Mui as walked in the clinic. "Ruth-chan?" she asked going to the room Ruth slept in. She found no trace of Ruth in the clinic only a note.
Going home. Thanks for everything
Love, Ruth
P.S. this is my phone number (xxx)-xxx-xxxxx
Mui sat on the bed sadly looking at the note. She walked backed to the others, hold the note."Hey, Mui what is wrong? .. where is Ruth" asked Kenichi looking around for Ruth. Everyone turned to look at Mui. "She left" She said showing them the note.
"Well... we all knew this was going to happen" said Sasaki
"Ruth's wounds have healed so she didn't have stay here anymore" said Akisame
"We will still see her at school" said Kenichi trying to cheer up Mui.
Even with all that said Mui felt sad that her friend had left without tell them in person. It was not just Mui that felt sad for Ruth abrupt leave. Ruth had became part of Ryouzanpaku as she had stayed there. Dinner was quieter than usual without joy Ruth inserted.
Ruth was going through the stack of mail that she took out of mailbox. She looked around at the large apartment. "Looks like she hasn't come back" she said as she searched for food in the kitchen. See the lack of food she dailed for one of her favorite take out place. Fifteen minutes later, the deliverboy came " Miss Martinez, long time since you have called us. I thought you forgot about us"he said playfully. "How could I ever forget about you Shokatsu-kun you are my favorite deliver boy" she replied smiling as she paid her order.
Ruth sat down to eating her dinner. "I forgot how empty it felt here" said Ruth. Ruth's thoughts wonder to Ryouzanpaku and the people that lived there. She truly felt happy there among friends. She smiled at the thought of them. But she knew that she had to come back here to properly decide if she want to stay in Ryouzanpaku or not.
'No life just an empty apartment' thought Ruth before falling asleep.
