A New Beginning

Drowning my sorrows

After my shower I got out to see the outfit Hiroshi wanted me to wear. It was a short skirt and a cropped t shirt. There were heels near the door that I assumed I had to wear. I moisturized and put on the outfit. I never dressed like this I felt so much like a whore. I was uncomfortable, very, very, uncomfortable. I usually wear baggy clothes or clothes that make me feel comfy. These did not.

When I got done I opened the door to an empty hallway. I wandered around to see no one around and then I spotted the stairs. I saw a door and thought maybe it could be my chance to escape. I looked around and went closer only to see it had three different locks that could only be opened with a key. I sighed and wandered around a bit more, I mean it was my first time out of that room so why not enjoy it. I wandered into a kitchen and opened cabinets to them being completely empty. I still hadn't eaten in a while so I checked the fridge to find fruit. Better than nothing I guess.

I opened another cabinet to see a bunch of different alcohol's. I've never drank but I felt helpless, I needed something to drown my sorrows. I grabbed one and took a big swig, trying to down as much as I could before I got caught. It burned my throat but I liked it. I liked the burning sensation it caused my raw throat. I took a chug, after a chug, after another chug. I didn't stop until the whole bottle was gone. I went back to the cabinet rummaging for a stronger one.

"What's wrong what are you doing!" I heard a voice call out from behind me. Well I guess it's my time to die. I turned around slowly to see the girl from earlier.
"I'm sorry I-I didn't see anyone and I got lost." I said letting out a deep sigh.
"Hey it's okay, I won't tell anyone. I know your going through it I sometimes do the same." She said walking past me to the cabinet with the alcohol.
"Here take another, you might need it for later but make sure you hide it." She said with a warming smile appearing on her face. Although she seemed so broken she still had such a kind heart.
"Thank you so much." I said also letting a smile appear on my face.
"Your welcome." She replied. "But I do have to take you back to you room before they notice you've been gone too long." She finished. Motioning for me to follow her back.

I got to the room and gave her a long hug. She smiled and then closed and locked the door behind her. I could tell she felt bad, and i didn't wanna make it worse for her so I listened. I did as she said and hid the bottle. After a minute the room started to swirl and I could feel the alcohol working. I could finally be a bit happy.

Today was Tuesday and after school me and bill had the same routine as yesterday. Go straight home, shower, change, and go meet dad. The rest of my dads gang should have arrived already and should be waiting for us at the safe house. Bill was still giving everyone a cold shoulder and I didn't blame him. I didn't like lying to mom either. If mom found out dad was in Tokyo and we've been communicating with him, she would make us move again. Even worse she'd probably have a heart attack.

On our way to the safe house it was so quiet. When we arrived our cars where in the driveway and I couldn't help but smile so hard. Bill went running to his and slid his finger along the side of the matte blacked out sports car. Mine was also blacked out and a matte sports car but it was a different kind. Although we hated dad sometimes, I could honestly say this was the first time when I truly thought that he was the best. Obviously it was only because he got us cars but still. We were so happy.

We knocked and the door opened but this time we didn't get pulled in surprisingly. We looked around to see the gang we grew up around as little kids.

"You guys ready?" Dad questioned as he threw us each our pair of car keys. He could see the smiles and excitement on our faces and I could tell he was amused at the sight.
"Fuck yeah!" Bill shouted.
"Yeah I'm ready let's go!" I yelled excitedly.

*Bill's POV*

I looked around but I didn't see Fritz. I mean good I hated him for what he did but I did still want to know. I've been thinking if we were too hard on him, like I mean he did do what he thought was best and it was beneficial, but he also betrayed us.

"Fritz isn't coming along with us?" I asked dad.
"Oh no don't worry I sent him back to Germany I know you guys hate him now." Dad spoke and I felt immediately so bad. Maybe it's for the best though is said in my head Trying to convince myself.

Everyone left the house and got in their vehicles. I couldn't stop cheesing so hard I already loved it. I put the key in the ignition and put it in drive. The sound of the car starting sent chills down my spine. Everyone followed dad since he knew where Hiroshi and their gang's property was at. I felt a rush go through my body as we rushed down the streets swerving around cars in our way. I was finally going to save Amy and it just wasn't happening quick enough. I'm so eager to see her, so eager to feel her, to smell her. Amy we are coming for you hang in there.
