After the killing of Koro Sensei.

Limey was depressed for days and was constantly going to her Mother. She wouldn't say anything, just laid down and looking at the night sky. She was miserable.

As for me,

I was miserable also.

During Graduation, I could tell Limey wasn't excited at all to graduate. Not because of Koro Sensei's killing, if Koro Sensei was still alive she would've not want to graduate either, she just didn't want to go to High School.

She was going to a different High School then me. I was staying at Kunugigaoka and she was going to some public school, it was even worse because no one from 3-E was at her school. So she would be all alone. Her Grandma was actually the one who told her Father that she had to transfer. Not sure why.

According to Limey, her Moms Side of the Family hates her Dad, they never liked him.

But now it was the first day of break and Limey came over and slept over practically everyday. We would stay up late talking about our favourite memories with Koro Sensei while we flipped through the year book. There were many pictures of us at moments Limey and I don't even remember ourself.

Pictures of Limey and I at the Winter Carnival, at the stairs, the first time we ever kissed, us eating stolen ice cream from the Teachers Lounge, us picking out Ice cream when 3-E went on a walk, which resulted in going to the Convenience Store.

"I like this picture" She said suddenly as she points to picture of Her, Me, Kayano and Nagisa having a snowball fight while everyone was going home.

Again, my parents were back for a couple of days.

"Wow, Ray's really letting him do that?" I hear my Mom say from downstairs.

"I mean, only if he doesn't have any plans for the break" My Dad says.

"What" I say as I walk down to the kitchen, pouring myself a glass of water.

"Perfect Timing! You know Ray? Your Uncle? He's letting you stay at his beach house in L.A, usually he would be there for the summer but since his Wife wants to go Portugal, he wants you to stay in it for the break, I mean, only if you want to, if not he'll just rent it again" My Mom shrugs.

"Can I bring a friend?" I asked immediately.

"Um- sure, who?" My Mom asked and I laugh a little.

"Limey.." I say.

"Sure, I'll go inform the jet-"

"What! He can't bring a girl on to L.A?! Let alone stay in a house with her for a month?!" My Mom complains and I sigh.

"Its not like we've been doing this since Kindergarten" I muttered, quiet enough for them to not hear.

"Why not? He's gonna be lonely in that huge place, plus its right by Santa Monica," My dad shrugs and my Mom looks at him with a glare.

"A boy... and a girl... alone in a house... does something not ring a bell for you?"

My Dad and I both laugh.

"Who cares...?" My Dad says and my Mom looks at him unbelievably.

"He's fifteen!?"

My Mom let Limey go.

Limey was ecstatic when I told her because she loved L.A and the beach house was near Santa Monica Beach. Her Dad and Sophie only let her come so she would be out of the house, kinda sad to be honest. How much her Dad hated her.

Apparently my Uncles Private Jet is gonna be taking us so that was fun.

We would be going in a week.

We were both happy.

We needed this vacation more then anyone in the world.

We needed to escape, atleast for a month.

We had to wake up at 7:00 AM for the plane ride. You may think its easy to wake up at 7:00 AM, but for us, it was a harder thing because we went to bed pretty late.

When we were on the private plane, I could tell she was surprised because she's never been in such a place. We slept for the whole way there, her head resting on my shoulder.

As we got off, the smell of the airport rushed through our senses. We were guided to a car, that was taking us to the beach house.

"You said you wanted to try In-N-Out, right? Lets have that tonight" I say and she nods smiling.

When we get off the car we were standing infront of a large beach house. Unnecessarily too big, lets be honest.

"Woah" She whispers as he turned to her right and saw Santa Monica Beach distances away. "Woah" She said again.

"Come on, lets go in" I pulled her in and the place was even bigger then imagined.

It looked like a White Family with three kids owned it. It was Beach themed and the couches her white. The place sorta had a beach themed/wood and white theme to it. It was overall a nice place. I've been here once when I was 4 but I don't remember much from it.

When we were unpacking Limey had opened the windows to take pictures of the sunny day because Nakamura and Yada begged her to take pictures.

"This place is amazing!" She said as she came back.

"It is" I agree as she throws me a bottle of water.

"You must be thirsty, right?"

"Yeah sorta" I shrugged as I chugged it.

She continued staring at the window and I smiled to myself.

"Wanna go on a walk?" I asked and she nodded vigorously.

We walked to the beach and admired it, played in it, took pictures. We don't go to the beach often but we both loved the beach.

We were there till sunset and I noticed, we were two kids who needed an escape from reality. Thats what was so good about this vacation. We were young, stupid and clueless. We lost someone who we loved and couldn't process it throughly.

"Karma! The water isn't that cold!" She yelled from afar.

"Yeah! Karma come! Its not cold at all!" Koro Sensei's voice yelled from the back of head.

I laughed a little and ran over to her dunking my feet in the water with her. Limey and I stared at the sunset and hoped that one day, we can be this free again.

Free again.

Free Again in L.A without a worry in our minds.

A Decade and One later,

We were Free,

Free,

Well atleast for a month.

LIMEY SPEAKING:
holy fucking shit.
no way.
