" Arata whats up ? " teina asked. She had been my friend since preschool her and taein her twin brother with their identical black hair taeins a black mess and teina hair blunt cut and chin lenght. They both had the same piercing grey eyes. Their the only true friends i had. I couldnt leave them.
" can i come over to your place i have bad news. " i asked my voice almost breaking at the end. I felt a lump in my throat that threatend to choke me. I couldnt do this why was it so hard. I couldnt leave them.
" Sure" she said " besides taein has something to tell you too" i smiled. Oh taein that sweet boy. His sweet smile his warm laugh. He was like a little brother even though we were the same age. Why did i have to leave him. I couldnt leave him.
"Ok ill be there " i said my voice breaking at the end as tears streamed down my face. I hung up the phone and stood up off the bed looking at my vanity and the mirror above it i saw photos of us. From the point of us swinging in elementary to laughing like idiots in middle school. I couldnt leave them.
" I dont wanna go..." i said into the still air " i cant leave them just yet" looking back on my bed i saw the blanket they made for me on my 14th birthday it was overly colorful and a disaster of diffrent fabric patches but it was perfect.
On top of the blanket was my suitcase id be leaving them soon. Soon this room would be the same. Id meet knew people and forget everthing. Would i ? I couldnt forget them.
It felt like my heart was being frozen over the sharp icicles stabbing into it deeper each passing second. Its warmth being taken and my blood running cold. Itd be incased in ice and become ice itself.
I felt a pang of guilt in me. If only i were better. If i wasnt so weak. If my deck was stronger i could have beaten my sister. I wouldnt have to leave. I couldnt leave them.
I couldnt forget them...
Sitting back on my sheets i stayed crying tears running down my face. I felt sick to my stomach i wanted to yell out my hate. I felt a monster inside of me begging to claw its way out.
I hated my sister ! I despised my parents ! Why !? Why did they do this to me !? Did my happiness matter did they care ?
I was sick of it !
That black and red demon threaten to rake its way out of me, to be unleashed onto the people who caused me this pain. To run fast and far ! To scream out in hatred !
To do anything but sit here ...
I stayed sitting though holding the monster at bay keeping down the hate that wanted to run through me...
I got off the bed reaching under the bed for my small book sized silver box. It was a gift from taein and teina on my 10th birthday when we swore to always be friends.
Using my little key that i wore as a neck lace i opened the silver box in it a million photos and small trinkets that we had collected over the years. I rummaged through it looking at each piece. A small broken porcelan bird statue that we found at the beach, sea glass, a old fashioned camera.
I pulled out a picture of use in dorky outfits at age 9 holding duel disk models that we were trying to create each of us smiling not knowing that dueling would become a huge part of our lives.
And what took me from them now.
I couldnt leave them ... I couldnt forget them ...
" Arata ! Get down here !" my father called. The demon came back wanting me to yell at them that i didnt want to. I didnt want to lose my friends.
" Arata !"
I couldnt leave them ...
" Arata ! "
I couldnt forget them ...
" Arata ! Wake up ! " i shot up in bed shaking hearing Jane yell at me. I looked up at the clock seeing we were gonna be late for class.
I rubbed my eyes and remember where i was. I was on an island in Duel Acadamy far from home and those distant memories.
I didnt need them.
I was Arata Kensho a solo duelist. Those people from the past i didnt need them. I left them i forgot them. I didnt care.
That demon now powered me. It wasnt a demon at all more like someone that finally knocked some sense into me.
It took away the pain of leaving. It didnt hurt to leave. The day i left i welcome the feeling of freedom of getting to leave people who didnt care about me.
With open eyes i shook off the dream of the life i once had. I didnt care for those people.
I had to get to class anyways ! I wouldnt be late though i had perfect time management id get to class on time.
Today was my duel with thay slifer, Jaden and i couldnt afford to be distracted by a dream of memories from so long ago.
I left them ...
I forgot them ...
I did not care !
