KAI

Kai Part 6

-flashback-

 I didn't see Kai that whole day. I searched everywhere he possibly could be when it hit me. He might be on the old school building rooftop. That building was abandoned and only some cleaners went there to keep the building neat and tidy as ordered by the municipality. So, it was basically open 24/7. I went to the rooftop an there he was......

"You need to stop disappearing like this you know?" he looked at me with a shocked expression as I said that. "Oh, it's you." He chuckled. "Why? Were you expecting someone else?" "What? NO not at all. You're the only person I'm always happy to see Aish." "You seem pretty low. What's up?" "It's nothing." He said that but it couldn't convince ME. I knew what he was thinking about. He always goes to open areas when he's reminded of his.... mom. It's a word we all have experienced but some of us just aren't that lucky enough and one of those unlucky people is Kai and him blaming and harming himself for that is very stupid but he is just confused between....... a lot of things. "She's a part of you Kai." "Doesn't make sense Aish, I don't feel her." "Kai. When I say part of you, that doesn't mean you're like her. It means you love her so much; she has a permanent spot in your heart and no one can take that. Sure, you'll miss her but she's in a better place now and she's probably having time she could never have with your dad. And yes, she could have the best moments with her son but she chose to make him strong, so respect her decision. And before she left you, she made it ok to cry and that's why me and my shoulder is always here." Saying that I gave him a smile. He looked at me and then just put his head on my shoulder and sobbed quietly. It never burdened me to hear his troubles.

Those days......they were different.

It was fine until Kai told me about his parents in the cafeteria yesterday. Damn, THAT IS SCARY. But well, at least Kai has someone to share that with. Me. I think I'm happier to be in his life than he is to be in mine. I'm just scared that someday his parents might show up and threaten me to leave him because I'm not worth their standards. I'm sure Kai wouldn't care about how I look. I mean I know he loves me OR I'm just confusing myself and am gonna get hurt soon. That's scary as well. I was wondering upon all this when I felt someone pull my hair from behind and push me by the lockers. Before, I could see who that was there was stinging pain in my left cheek and my face turned toward a side. I looked up to see Aramis, the school bully and apparently Kai's step mom's colleague's daughter along with her minions. She was always picking on kids around the school and sometimes my classmates. She thinks she's the GREATEST since she's one of the transfer students. I admit she was like the goddess figure of the school. I mean I was popular but her? She was something, I mean when I first saw her, I myself wanted to date her. But that was just the first time.
