Sano's 'Kid' | Mikey x Teen Reader

A splitting image

(1 year later...)

"Hey my love, I've been pretty busy but here's secret 5 *ehm* Promises are the sweetest lies love ya! Bye!" I lay on my bed in the dark. Listening
to mom's last voice message on repeat. I'm 15 now, you would think that the teen age years of your life would be the best or the highlight years. If my current status is considered the best the I wonder what's the worst. After the fall out... after the accident I've changed. It wasn't just me though, but everyone as well. I can't help but feel guilty for what I did. I apologized to Kazane for putting him in a predicament that he doesn't deserve to be in. I tried to get in touch with Hondō to apologize, but he never answered or returned any calls or text so I just left him to himself. Kazu tried to get me out the warehouse more, but I simply deny his offer each time. Sanzu... I try to reason with him, but each time we talk it ends in a argument that I end up apologizing for. Ran, he tries to lighten the mood but it doesn't work no matter how many times he's tried. Then there is Mikey. He's still on the look for the Peccare even though they haven't attacked since then. I told him to stop and that what he did was enough, but no. He is still going. Finally me. I've lost interest in everything. I lost interest on socializing, going out a taking pictures, hanging out with friends if I can still even call Hondō and Kazane that. My camera's just sit the corner of my room collecting dust. My under eyes darker from staying up late as my skin got paler from getting little to no sun. "Meow" I hear Miko so I sit up "what is it" I say weakly, she walks over to her bowl and sits next to it. "Hunger?" I ask and she nodded. I go over to my fridge and stare at a picture. It was of me, Kazane and Hondō. I suddenly got a flashback of the last thing Hondō said to me "How you gonna lie to me! Lie to Kazane when all we've done is help you! Time over time with your shitty family!" Repeated in my head over and over. My legs got weak and i fell to the floor
and began to cry. My sadness turned to anger and I started to punch the fridge "How dare you! How dare you blame me! How dare you make me feel this way! Fuck you for leaving me when I needed you!!!" I furiously yelled. Miko ran to me jumping on my back distracting me. Once she saw me stop she jumped off me and curled into a ball on my lap. "I'm sorry... did I scare you. I didn't mean to" I whispered sincerely. I got up with miko in my arms and opened the fridge Looks like there's no more cat food....dammit... I have to go out. I grabbed my hoodie put on some sweats and headed out.

I wince from the bright sun did the sun get closer to earth or what I kept on walking. As I walk around I feel out of place. I see kids play around in the streets it makes me smile a bit.  I make it to the store and it was very crowd. I feel my heart pick up its pace and my hand being to shake Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit. I quickly cover my hands with my hoodie and take a deep breath I'm only gonna get cat food. I'll be in and out within seconds. I squeeze myself through the crowd  and feel so uncomfortable. I was back to back with people, I can smell and feel everyone sweat. Was the store always this crowd? I finally make it to to the pet isle and no one was there. You're gonna tell me that the rest of the store is crowded but this isle I roll my eyes. I look for the food that I usually get for Miko, while I was still looking up I felt a tug on my sweat pants. I look down and was confused when I was met with the eyes of a small child. It was a boy. He had thick ash brown hair with glossy dark eyes. He's eyes were a bit red it looks like he was crying  "ma'am" the boy's voice was frantic "yes" I looked down at him. I guess I scared him because he had let go of me and took a few steps back. I felt bad so I took of my hood and squatted down to his height. "Um... I um.. can..." He stuttered and his eyes began to water "Its ok take your time. Is there something you need?" I ask him with a more welcoming tone. "I was at the park with my mama and I lost her" he cried "Would you like my help to try and find her?" I suggest and he nodded, "Let me get this cat food and we can go to that park and see if she's there." I tell him. I get the food and hop on this long ass line. It probably took about a half hour till we got to the register. I hand the food to the middle aged lady and the whole time see her looking at me then the boy holding my hand then back at me. My patience was thinning but I didn't want to cause a seen infront of the boy, but that didn't go as planned. I grabbed the bag as I was heading out the door I heard rushing foot steps  coming towards me then felt at rough tap on my shoulder. "Young lady what are you doing with that child. You came in her with no child in hand" she said cocky, my eye twitched and I covered the boys ears with my hands "Is this your child" "No it isn't bu-" "Then shut up" I said briefly and held the boys hand again and left the woman in shock.
