Risk It All Chapter 6
Why would a person like me risks everything,
When we had absolutely nothing.
Oh My God, what just happened? Last thing I remember was seeing Nagi and psycho and her friends...NAGI? I sat up, startled. I quickly closed my eyes, I mean the light was just killing my eyes, Light? Okay, really where am i? I opened my eyes slowly, making sure I gave enough time for my eyes to adjust. I looked around, I was in a room, navy blue walls, king-sized bed, a basketball in the corner. Now that you mention it, most of the room were filled with sport supplies. Okay, I'm confused. I don't do sports, it's just not my thing...I'm stupid, I just now notice I'm on the bed. I swung my legs to the side and jumped off. That bed was either huge or I'd have to admit I really am a midget.
Thump...Bang. CRASH!
My head jerked to the direction of the noise. The door..huh..it's not like I'm lock up in here, your so smart, Rima. I walked toward the door, and put my ear to it. Nothing. Slowly but surely, I twisted the knob, and gently pushed it opened. As soon as I opened it, it kinda squeaked but other than that was the yelling coming from downstairs. I walked down the hall, which was becoming dark by the second. I stopped by the stairway, stood up on the tippy toes and looked over the railing. It was above the living room. Nagi, Ikuto, Tadase, Kukai...and Amu were down there. I remember finally what happened in the forest between Amu and me. My eyes started to sting, and the lump in my throat started growing. I looked at my clothes, covered in dirt. My hair tangled with no mercy...I'm scared to go down there. I looked back down there, Amu was crying her eyes out, Ikuto was looking at her in disbelief, Tadase...was,well..being Tadase, Kukai looking silly enjoying every minute of this argument, and Nagi was looking up at me. Strangely though, he looked...dead? I let go of the railing, and crawl to the first step down, slid my butt off quietly down to the 3rd to bottom step. No one heard me, but then Amu's sobbing became to loud.
"AMU! WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP! I mean, It's all your fault she got hurt in the first place." Nagi said, his voice lingered with rage.
"Nagi, man. Chill out. A small mistake. They were having problem it's not like she knew, she'd get Rima beaten to a pulp." Ikuto said trying to calm Nagi.
"SHE'S BEEN SLEEPING LIKE THE DEAD FOR THE LAST 4 HOURS!" From the looks of it, Nagi's self control broke.
"I'm-sob-SORRY!" And amu started sobbing like a little kid, even though she put me through this, it still broke my heart. Ever since we were little, she'd stand up for me, and I'd always be the shoulder to cry. Ever since we were little, that brings back memories from the old orphanage. But it brings back memories before that time too.
"YOUR SORRY? WHY WERE YOU BEING SO! SO! UGH!" He sat down, and somehow he was radiating heat from his body. Yet, Amu sobbing stopped.
"Your asking why i was being so bitchy, weren't you?" Amu voice was still shaking, though. "Because I had to leave her yesterday. No, I'm not her mother but I've been living with her since we were kids. Your probably thinking, your related now aren't you? Were not, WE'VE BEEN LIVING IN THE SAME ORPHANAGE SINCE WE WERE 7, NOW WERE 14. I'VE KNOWN HER SO LONG, THAT I KNOW SHES UPSET BECAUSE I GOT ADOPTED! THAT'S WHY I WAS TRYING TO GET HER TO HATE ME! SO SHE WOULD FORGET ABOUT ME!" As soon as Amu finished, silence eloped the room, and Amu ran up to the door, opened it, looked at me like she knew i was there, gave me a sad smile, and slammed the door shut. I realized something. I can't stay, I can't even face them. I crawled back upstairs, and looked back to see Nagi at the bottom of the stairs, processing what he'd just seen. I ran for the room I woke up in.
"RIMA!" I heard stomping up the stairs as I slammed the door shut and locked it. Banging could be heard from the other side of the door. Also with Nagi repeatedly calling my name. I ran for the window, fiddling with the lock. The other side of the door became completely quiet. Silence was nice, but it bothered me. The window clicked, and I opened it. I looked down, 2-stories high. I could do it...maybe. I swung my legs out the window and sat on the ledge. I looked closely along the trees. Pink hair could be seen in the shade.
Bang!
I looked to the door, Ikuto with a bobby pin in hand, and Nagi looking at me with concern. I looked out the window, back to the room, swallowed my tongue, and hope for the best, I jumped. I landed and looked up, seeing the tip of purple hair turn around, and hear the soft thumping down the stairs. I stood up, looked to the pink hair, and see Amu running pass me, grabbing my hand, and running for our lifes.
We made it back to the orphanage, and looked at each other at the same time, you could find us clutching our tummies laughing on the floor. That was fun, I'd have to admit. We bid each other goodbyes, and i started climbing up the stairs. Halfway up the doorbell chimes, and someone comes in. I turned around, Nagi was looking at me in disbelief, followed by Ikuto, Kukai and Tadase. I started running up the stairs, only to hear 8 feet following me. I turned in to my room, slammed the door, and locked it. It be only a matter of time. I turned to Yaya, I walked up to her.
"Yaya, whatever you do, do not tell anybody I was here, or how i got here ok?" The lump growing in my throat.
"Mmhm! Yaya, promises!" She said, showing her toothy grin, door busted open, and I jumped over and climbed up to the top bunk. I looked above, where a little door that led to the roof was. I pushed it open and busted through it. I ran across the shingles, looking back to see only Nagi, walking towards me.
"Walk Rima, you don't want to fall." He said, whether he was truly worried about me, i don't know. But I should've listen. I slipped, lost my balance and next I could find myself hanging off the railing. Nagi was already there, trying to get me to calm down.
"Rima, give me your hand." He stretched his hand out towards me. I gave him my hand, and he started pulling me up. He gave one last tugged and now i could find myself in his arms, with him patting my head. "Now Rima...tell me...why are you here?
Did ya like it? I liked to give a thank you for reviewing toooo...
