Meet You Again (Banana Fish)

Cape Cod (3)

-Ash Lynx-

It's been a week since I told everyone about my plans. 

I at least made sure to spend the last few days I had with the boys and that's what happened. 

I made them swear to not do any crimes or killings when I was still around, but I know for a fact that I can't tell them to stop those for life. 

I wasn't their boss anymore. 

The other gangs have been mocking us but we couldn't care less. We didn't want to waste the short time we have left.

"Good bye, everyone." I waved at them with a smile. 

I looked at them one by one and realized that my boys were tearing up like 3 year olds.

I mentally face palmed myself. 

I honestly still can't believe myself but at the same time, I never felt so right about making a decision. It feels refreshing.

I felt nervousness, and excitement flow through every vein in my body.

All my life, I've done lots of crimes and shameful things. I would be lying if I said that everything about this is totally fine with me. I would have to get used to the new path I'm taking in order to get the life I desire to have.

I opened the car door and went in. I looked at them one last time. I felt the tears flowing down my face. I was crying. No doubt that I'll miss them so much.

I wiped the tears off my face and turned the engines on. 

I smiled at myself. 

I promise. I'll see you all again in the future.., as a whole new person. 

I stepped on the gas and drove off. 

I looked at everyone through the side mirror.

Just by driving away without my gun with me made me feel like a brand new person already. This is thanks to you, Eiji.

-Eiji Okumura-

I sighed, resting my head on my palms. 

My parents looked at each other then back to me. 

"Eiji, is there something bothering you? You've been sighing a lot since earlier this morning."

My mom said with a hint of worry in her voice.

I stared at the bowl of rice in front of me, not hearing what she just said.

"Eiji, your mom just asked you something." My dad said. 

I sighed once again. 

My dad persistently tapped my shoulder to wake me up from my thoughts.

"Eiji! What's wrong?" I snapped out of it and looked at my dad.

I covered my face with my hands, feeling depressed. "Dad, mom. What do I do? I can't seem to get rid of my feelings...I miss them so much."
