Chapter 2
Tenshi's POV
After I grabbed the blue box from my mom, I went to my room. Then I set the box on my bed and then grabbed my iPod from the tiny desk I had in my room. I sat back onto my bed and took a deep breath. When I opened the box, there were tons of letters. I lifted the box upside down and let the letters scatter onto my bed. I grabbed a letter and looked to see who sent it. It was from my dad to my mom.
Before I started to read, I went to the other room.
"Who started sending the letters first?"
"Your dad, I believe it was the first of December," I nodded and headed back to my room. I put all of the letters in order. I put all the ones from my dad on one side and the ones from my mom on the other. After doing so, I carefully looked through them and then found it. I plugged my iPod into the speakers and then took a deep breath.
Dear Hinata, Dec 1st
I'm really sorry I left so suddenly. I just want you to know that. Maybe if I had tried a little harder, I would've been able to stay. Well stay healthy and see you later babe.
Kiba
I shook my head. I grabbed another letter, this time from my mom though.
Kiba, Dec 8th
I miss you. I really do, it's just that things are getting so crazy at school. Going back and forth from my appointments and to school isn't easy. I'm actually considering of just dropping out. I really wish you were here with me. I also want you to know that I forgive you. I know you tried your hardest to stay, but hey, you can also visit as well. You don't have to be away all the time, right? Well I wish I could write more, but I have an essay to finish.
Love you
Hinata
I kept on reading the letters. By the time I was on my fifteenth letter, my phone was ringing like crazy. It startled me and quickly, I grabbed it off my desk.
"Hello?"
"Hey Tenshi, what's up?" It was my friend Ashley.
"Nothing, just reading some letters."
"Oh, I was wondering if you wanted to go out. Since we only have a month left of summer break," she had a point, but I really didn't wanna go out. All I wanted to do was read these letters. While reading them, I was finding stuff about my mom that I never knew. I just didn't want to stop. These letters also started to make me tear up.
"Not today, I just want to continue reading."
"That's no fair, well I wanna see you so I'm coming over."
"Alright then. I'll probably be in my room crying."
"Just don't drown," she started laughing at her own joke. We both hung up and I went to the other room. I made myself a cup of tea. When I looked into the living room, I saw my mom crying. I didn't like seeing her like this. I felt as if it was my fault. Since I was the one that asked about my dad.
I couldn't stand seeing my mom like that, so I went back to my room and started to read again.
Dear Kiba, Jan. 14
It's official, starting Monday, I won't be going to school anymore. I know you said I shouldn't dropout, but it isn't easy. It's not fun if you're the laughingstock of the school. One thing I don't like is that you're not here. It's too lonely at home. I'm still wondering why you didn't come here during Christmas break. I was looking forward to being able to see you. That breaks my heart but I'm not mad I just want to know why. Talk to you soon.
Love Hinata.
PS- Everything is going well, the baby is growing fine.
After I read that letter, I heard the door open. I looked up to see Ashley. I smiled at her and then grabbed another letter.
"Any good letters?"
"Here read this one," I gave her the letter I just read and then I continued to read.
Dear Hinata,
I'm sad to know you dropped out of school. It was for the best right? School sucks here 'cause I don't have friends or you here. I didn't go see you because my dad was being an asshole. He wouldn't give me any money to go see you. So, I have been thinking of getting a job to save up money and see you. Not sure though. I gotta go, I miss you babe.
Love Kiba.
PS- I'm glad to hear the baby is growing fine.
Dear Kiba,
I know dropping out of school wasn't the greatest idea, but I need to be healthy for the baby. Why haven't you made any friends yet? That's not like you. If you want, I could send you some money to come see me. I really miss you, I want to see you so badly it hurts. I get really lonely at night because I know you're sleeping alone like me. Write soon.
Love Hinata.
After I read that letter, I looked up at Ashley.
"Why did your mom and dad write letters? Weren't they together?"
"Nope. My mom said that after they found out she was pregnant, his mom got him to move with his dad. By what I can see, my dad didn't like his dad."
"Oh okay. One more question. If you don't mind me asking, how did he die?"
"Well," I let out a shaky breath. "From what my mom had said, he committed suicide." I closed my eyes.
"I'm so sorry to hear that," she got up and then gave me a hug. I pushed away from her and then looked at her.
"It's alright, let's go get a coffee. I've read enough letters today."
"Okay, Starbucks?" I nodded. Then we both walked out of the room. I looked around the room to see if I needed anything, there was nothing. Then the two of us walked out. It was sunny outside, but it had a cool breeze. I liked it a lot.
When we got to Starbucks and ordered, we sat down.
"You okay, you seem kinda sad?" I nodded.
"I'll be alright, it's just, hmm... How should I out this? Guess I'm just shocked because I just found out about my dad."
"Well you'll be alright. I'm sure of it. Besides you have great friends."
"Yeah," I took a sip and then looked around. When I looked at the door, I saw my friend Keiji. He was a year younger then me and looks so much like his dad. He had these bold lilac eyes, but he was one of the most kindest people I know. I gave him a wave and he started to walk towards us.
"What's up?" I asked him.
"Nothing, just gonna get some coffee and maybe go home. Don't feel like doing much today anyway," I nodded. "Hey, you didn't do your fang makeup today?"
I grabbed my phone and looked at myself. He was right, I didn't have the make up on.
"I must've forgotten to."
"You okay? You look like you've been crying," I gave him a shocked look and then I quickly shook my head. He patted my back.
"Let's hang out later."
"What about me?" Ashley practically screamed. I forgot she was there.
"I'm just gonna go and yeah let's hang out later Keiji," he gave me a nod and I left Starbucks. I just took a bus back to my place.
When I got home, my mom still wasn't home. So I went to my room and laid on my bed.
