Rely On Me

Chapter 1: "I'm Fine"...

Two best college friends all the time together, they know about each other everything, but wait! Not everything can be told , even if it was your best friend.

Yabu kota, one of the best student in his college, all the student know Inoo Kei as Yabu Kota's best friend who never go out with anyone except him. But this time is different, Kota is looking for Kei? Why? They never looked for each other before? They always say where they are going to each other so they don't worry, but this time it seems like Kei didn't say anything to Kota which make him worry.

"Excuse me, did you see where is Inoo Kei?". He asked a student in his way.

"Inoo-san? I think I saw him at the music club a few minutes ago".

The student answered and Kota bowed to him thankfully and run to the music club. Kei was alone in the club playing piano, its evening and there is no class at this hours, he stop playing and release a heavy sigh, Kota enter the club room and saw Kei with his teary eyes.

"Kota-kun!". Kei's tears and his weak voice make Kota rush to him and hug him tightly.

"What's wrong Kei-chan? Tell me!".

"N-Nothing, I'm just tired". Kei wipe his tears and release the hug from Kota.

"No You Are Not! What Happened That Make You Cry?! Tell Me The Truth". Kota shout at him but he received a smile.

"I'm fine Kota, don't worry, I will tell you if anything else happen, I need to rest for now only". That smile make Kota nodded.

"Don't overdo yourself, we have a job now you know!".

Kei nodded for him, after minutes they walked together to their part time job, in the way they were silent, every time Kota talked to him or asks, Kei will reply with *I'm fine* then stop talking again.

They start their shift at the restaurant, Kota was looking at Kei who was taking the orders from the customers, he looks normal for the others but for him it's not at all, one customer enter and Kota welcome him and led him to the empty table, he take his order and when he turn around he didn't see Kei.

"Maybe he went to the restroom". He think. He serve the food to that customer and go to the changing room.

"He is late". He open his closet when he suddenly heard his name.

"Kota...kun!".

He knows that voice very well but from where it comes? He looks around and find him under the table crying and trembling while hugging his both legs. Seeing that Kota hugged him tightly.

"What happened to you?!". He asked him worriedly but Kei didn't answer and keep crying and trembling in his arm. After a few seconds their friend come.

"What's wrong with Inoo-chan??". Kota looked at him.

"Sorry Hikaru-kun , can we go early today? Kei-chan is not feeling so well".

Hikaru nodded for them and give them the permission to leave.

*************************************************************************************

Kota walked silently next to Kei who just stop crying a few minuets ago, Kei stop walking which make Kota stop too.

"What's the matter?!". Kota asked and Kei looked at him with a smile.

"I will go by myself now, Thanks".

"No I will go with you, until you enter your house". Kei shake his head.

"No, Please, I want to go alone, I will let you come with me next time".

"But----". Kei cut Kota's word.

"Please Kota-kun".

Kei begged him and make him nodded disappointingly. He watched Kei walking away until he disappeared from his sight.

"I Know you, Yet I don't know you, what am I to you to not telling me the truth Kei?". Kota said sadly and sighed as he go to his house.

*****************************************************************************************

Kei enter his house sadly, he said "Tadaima" with a low voice, but he didn't receive a "Okaire", He received a hard slap on his face make him fall on to the ground.

"D-Dad!". Kei said weakly with his teary eyes.

"You Late And Yet Nothing in Your Hands?!!". His father shout angry at him.

"S-Sorry but I didn't have the time to buy what you want".

Kei said but his father kick him in his stomach so hard, his father keep beating him and he try to protect himself. Is that why Kei don't want from Kota to come to his house? After the father stop beating him he will go to his room but he will never get rest, his big brother will enter the room and start raping him until he satisfied. After that, Kei will stay all the night crying in pain, he can't move his body from the pain.

"K...Kota...".

That's all he can say, he can't tell his friend about this problem, as he know from his friends and what he always see in daily life, Kota will never shut up and let the things go like this, he may kill them if he know about what they do to his best friend. Kei close his teary eyes tightly and tried to sleep, he tried to forget all the pain in this day.
