You'll Always be With me.

Chapter 19: News

Shirabu was worried sick, it had been 2 weeks today "It just has to be lost mail. Nothing serious.." he said to himself pacing around "It'll just be coming any minute. Any minute now." He looked out the door as he the saw the mailman bring in mail he looked around and saw a letter, he cheered and went upstairs. And put it down "I'll read it later." His mother called him "Kenjiro get ready, darling!" Our copper-haired boy was going out with his parents that day, leaving to go eat at a restaurant. He was already ready but he just need to get his phone, he walked downstairs "I'm ready." His dad smiled and hugged him tightly "You look handsome my boy." He chuckled then held his wife's hand and walked out to the car, Ms. Shirabu entered it and sat down putting on music for they can chill out to. The music she had put made him feel calm inside. So Kenjiro got comfortable "How was work dad?" His dad smiled "Tiring, but hey it's how we get money." Kenjiro nodded and laughed "I mean you aren't wrong." Shirabu looked out, it was misty and it had just finished raining. They were going through the city, the bright colorful lights lighting up his eyes. It only made him wish Semi was here. Oh how his parents would love him. He stared at the night sky, the stars shimmering brightly "It's so pretty with all the lights, don't you think?" He asked his parents in which they both said yes in unison. Which led them to laugh, and made Shirabu laugh. Once they got there he stared at his phone, watching his favorite show as they waited for a waiter to give them their table. Kenjiro stared at his parents and smiled, and his parents smiled back. His mother started to order along with his father, he opened his mouth "Pasta please. And pink lemonade." The waiter nodded and quickly walked away. His mother smiled "So how have you been feeling?" Our main character nodded "I've been doing fine actually, I've been hanging out with my new friend more." His mother looked at him and clapped her hands "What's their name?" His father asked. "Tendou Satori." His mother nodded and added"We should meet him." Shirabu didn't have a problem with that so he nodded "If he wants to though." His mother nodded, she stared up at the TV. They were giving the news "Hm...bingo numbers, Oo they opened that new mall." Kenjiro laughed "Mom you act so old." His mother rolled her eyes "Oh shus-.." she went silent "Oh that poor kid.." Kenjiro noticed how she went silent, he laughed "What's wrong?" His mother looked down "It's nothing." Kenjiro nodded before hearing something on the news from behind him

"The devastating news about young boy, Semi Eita. Only 18 years of age striped away from life at such a young age. Not much is known about what has happened to the boy, but the child was sent to a Boot Camp for trouble youth. And so far a kid named Akira said the poor boy was going through a living hell in that Boot Camp, and that the people responsible for his death are 3 staff who work there. More on what happened to come soon...now I'll be passing onto..."

Shirabu froze "What..." he looked at the table That can't be him...it can't be him...no no, they probably mixed him up for another 18 year old. Semi is okay, he's coming home soon...He's coming home soon... we'll be happy together. He shook his head and continued to eat, shrugging it off they mixed it up. They mixed it up...once him and his parents finished eating they payed and left, entering the car. The parents of Kenjiro could tell something was wrong but they didn't know what. He was quiet the entire way, once he made it home. He turned on the TV. They weren't talking about Semi, which assured him he wasn't dead. Until...he saw a women talking about it.

"Touching back to the topic of Semi Eita the young boy killed due to the cruel ways of the Boot Camp, tomorrow you will hear what his parents have to say. From what we know, he died from what they say a kick to the head. He was a charming boy with dreams...and I hope he is resting well...-"

Shirabu froze, his eyes trying to fight the tears back. He was shaking, his fingers went up to his hair gripping tightly onto it "No...it can't be true..." he breathed in an out, panicking "Eita you're okay, they mixed you up for another person. I know you're okay." His parents saw him staring at the TV, panicking "Kenjiro?" He was trembling "You're okay Eita, I know you are! PLEASE EITA JUST BE ALIVE!" He yelled his voice breaking. His mother held onto him "....Shh...." Shirabu continued to cry "Please Eita..."

"Please."
