I DON'T OWN ANYTHING


Calem's pov

7 years ago

I saw a little girl, with small messy brown hair playing alone in the park all alone . I went near her, "touko?" she looked up towards me, "how do you know my name?" I knew she might not remember me clearly, after all, I barely ever talked with her . "Calem,... serena's older brother, you remember her, right?" she smiled and nodded "but, serena never talks with me, she always avoids me," she looked at me "do you know why?" 'because of mom' obviously I can't say this to a kid.

"No", after that we talked a lot and I didn't went to cram school that day, after that mom yelled at me for skipping the lectures but I didn't felt sad at all, on the contrary I was more than happy to be able to see touko.

Present day

After that whenever we used to go to ecruteak I used to meet hee without mom knowing anything about it. I think I had a little crush on her, she is cute and mature for her age. I put my books in the bag and got up from my seat to go back. "Calem" I looked at the entrance of the classroom, a girl with blue hair was standing, " president is calling you to meet him " she said and I followed her.

"Now, what business do you have?" I asked, the girl from earlier had already left and no one was there to hear us. "Stop being arrogant, I didn't called you to hear your complaints " touya said, he got up and continued "you knew where touko was, right?" "huh, wh- what are you-" " I heard it from a reliable source, that you used to go there at off hours and told the receptionist to keep quite ".

'How did he...wait, did kyohei-' "why aren't you replying, is it true whatever I said " "no, absolutely not " I said with my most confident tone. "But when I did my research... something other than that came forward, they said that you did visit her and that is also for two years now " he glared at me I tried not to look like suspicious but yet he figured it out. "Why?" " huh" " then why did you made us say it at our family dinner, and that too in front of uncle " he came towards me, put his hand on my shoulder and said " I know you are not the culprit, but... a puppet " my eyes widened, I looked at him but there was no specific reaction from him.

He looked at me and said, "kyohei and you... the only thing I see is common in you two is that... you both are just puppets to your parents, nothing more " I didn't said anything but turned to face him, then punched him in his cheek and ran away before he could retreat. But once I was faraway I noticed that he didn't came after me yet I kept running.

Touya's pov

I didn't felt a bit of the anger or pain from that punch, on the contrary I felt piti towards him, he just behaves like aunt wants him to be, though I know that it is just a fake personality that he is making for himself. I looked at the door and saw dawn, her eyebrows furrowed and she came towards me and touched my cheek where calem just punched.

"Is it still paining?"

"We can say, yes"

"Why didn't you defended yourself at that time" she said and pulled me, "where are you taking me?" "infirmary " I didn't said anything.

Same day, afternoon

"Touya, we need to talk" dawn said with a serious tone, I am getting used to it though. "What happened?" we went on the rooftop to talk about whatever she wanted, "I know, this is not my place to say anything or even to ask anything but" she looked here and there and then continued, " what is the other thing that you are hiding " "huh?" "when you were not here, I mean before I knew about your sister... someone had kept a letter in my locker and told me about your sister ".

"That means-" "yeah, I'd had lied but it was also the thing that was said to me in that" I gulped and decided to say everything.

Present time

She applied an ointment on my cheek, "it will be okay if you applied it for two days" she said and patched it up. "You... what will you do now?" she asked me, "I don't know,...but I will, see to it that..." I turned "you and your mom will remain safe" Dawn's dad just never came back after he got the news of her birth, or so she says, she only have her mother whom she calls her family 'it might be very painful for her' I always felt like that, a part of her always feels alone.

I don't want that because of me her only family will be taken away from her, "Touya " she called, I looked at her and suddenly she hugged me, " dawn!?" "I love you!" she said, I looked at her and the other thing I knew was that her lips intersected with mine.

It was just for a minute but I felt warm, her embrace, her lips, everything, she pulled herself away from me and touched my cheek again, "sorry, it might have hurt you " "not at all, on the contrary it was more painful when you pulled yourself apart" that last part came out suddenly but it seems it made her blush even harder, I took her hand and pulled her towards myself and we both again kissed, I whispered in her ear, "I love you too, will you date a person like me" "always ".

Later, when I called mom, she was shocked to hear the fact that I got myself a girlfriend, and I also said this to dad ,I don't know what will happen tomorrow at school but right now I am happy that I got to tell her that.


Done..
