FREEDOM

RIO'S POV

Our class ended and it's time to go home, but I don't want to. I packed my things and started going outside.

"Rio, bye and see you." Kayano said and waved her hands.

"See you, guys." Isogai our 'Ikemen' said and so did the others.

I wave my hands at them and start walking at home.

The reason I don't want to go home is because of my mom. Mom has been depressed ever since she and dad got divorce. My dad cheated on my mom and filed a divorce paper and left, leaving me and mom depressed. We were once rich and our house, we still have the mansion and it is near the cliff.

And everytime, I want to be alone I would go to the balcony. It's the place I would forget my worries and sometimes I would think of jumping off and letting myself drown in the sea but I can't leave her. I can't leave my mom in that state but I wish to be free.

I arrived at the gate and opened it. I opened the door at my house and said, "Tadaima,", but nobody responded. I quickly took off my shoes and ran to her room.

There, I saw her, standing at the window, crying her heart out and she hurting herself again. I ran to her and hugged her. I made her face me and said. "Mom, it's going to be okay, don't worry, I'm here." I give her nice words. And she looks at me and carries her hands on my hands.

"My daughter, you're so lovely, I love you, you are the only one who is left." She smiled and then her smiled turn into a frown and,

*SLAPS*

My face was burning to the pain but I keep my head to the direction where she slap me and she shouts at me saying, 

"YOU ARE AN UNGRATEFUL CHILD, I RAISE YOU PERFECTLY AND YOU JUST KEEP GETTING DUMBER AND DUMBER, EVERYTHING I DID FOR YOU WAS FOR YOU TO BE PERFECT, AND NOW YOU ARE IN THAT STUPID CLASS, AND YOU ARE THE RESON WHY YOUR DAD CHEATED ON ME, YOU ARE THE REASON I'M MISRABLE, YOUR THE REASON WHY MY LIFE IS LIKE THIS, I WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN, EVERY SINCE THAT I GAVE BIRTH TO YOU, I BECAME A WOMAN I NEVER WANTED TO BE."

 And keep on slapping my face. 

Shit it hurts but I keep my face straight and not letting myself cry. She stopped and she slowly kneeled.

"But you are my daughter, I gave birth to you, I gave you everything, you wouldn't leave me right? You wouldn't be like your dad, right? Cause you are my lovely daughter, I raise you, give you everything you needed but you end up to be stupid but you still won't leave me right? Right, Rio?" She told me and I can feel my arms hurting from the nails she keeps pushing on it while kneeling down.

She cried and mumbled lots of words and my arms were full of blood, my face was burning from the pain she slapped. I kneeled down to her and wiped her face. 

"Mom, I won't leave you and I will never ever leave you because I love you and you are my mom." I smiled at her and hugged her. She hugged back.

But the truth is, I wanna run away from this world, I don't wanna feel pain again, I wanna be free but I can't, I can't leave.

I carry her hair and look at her, "Let's go to sleep mom." I helped her stand up, "Yeah, let us sleep." She whispered and I laid her down to bed. I kissed her forehead and said, "I love you mom, Goodnight." 

She went to sleep and I closed the door.

After I close her door, I slowly sit in front of it. Why? I keep asking myself. And I went to the restroom to wash my arms.
