Chapter 3: Birthday - Part 2

____________________________


Saturday, October 22


"Come onnnn, one moree~ ugh.." I fall down on my chest. My arms are shaking. And that doesn't surprise me, because I've been training all day without taking a break.

I try to stand up, feeling unsteady. I carefully walk towards my sports bag and drink everyting I've left in my water bottle. Then I grab my phone. Father hasn't called me, he must be very busy...

I look at the date. Why does it look so familiar... "Wait a second!" I scream surprised. "It's October 22th! I'm turning 15 today!!" I jump up and start doing a happy dance. At least, that's what I wanted to do, until my legs begin to shake heavily and my head starts spinning. "Ow, nevermind." I say to myself as I sit back down.

~ Time skip: 30 minutes ~

Back in my room, I change into some comfy clothes and walk to the living room. My heart skips a beat when I see my father laying on a hospital bed. I drop my phone and run towards him. "Father?" I ask with a high panick voice. "Father are you okay?"

I startle when I suddenly see my father's nurse coming out of the kitchen. She's been here so often since Toshinori beat my father in their last fight. Toshinori is severely injured, but my father has suffered so much damage that I doubt he'll ever be able to fight again.

To be honest, I thought he was doing better already. He was able to walk again and he gave me daily training. That's why I was so surprised this morning that I didn't see him in the gym. But apparently he has deteriorated again...

"Hello there, Hoshiyoru-chan! How are you?" the nurse friendly asks.

"I'm fine, but what about my father? What happened, oisha-san?" (Oisha means doctor)

I look at her with eyes full of concern.

"Nothing to worry about, Hoshiyoru-chan. Your father had to undergo 1 more surgery. He came home about 20 minutes ago. I'm taking care of him- and you of course, until he wakes up again," she replies with a way too high-pitched voice. That kind of voice that makes you want to slam their head through the wall.

"Okay." I grab my phone off the ground and run back to my room.

I'ts not fair. Today is my birthday, which means I'm supposed to be alone with father. Not with this bastard pretending to be my mother. She talks to me like I'm a toddler!

Even though being alone with father isn't the best thing either... I think, looking at the scars all over my body. But it's at least better than the nurse's voice, which is just mental abuse.

10 minutes later I hear someone knocking the door. That must be the nurse. I open the door, ready to scream until I see who's standing there.

"Father?"

"Yes, Tsuki, it's me. Happy Birthday. You better have trained today," he says with a monotone voice.

"Y-yes I have, f-father.." I stutter. "A-are you okay?" I ask, afraid of his reaction on me minding his business.

He turns around and walks away. At least that's better than what I expected.

~ Time skip: 1 hour ~

It's always silent during dinner. And today is not different. Until I decide to ask something very riskfull.

"Father, I w-would like to a-ask you something," I stutter.

Silence.

"W-well, I'm turning 15 today.. s-so I was wondering if... if I could finally g-go outside. I-I mean I'm not l-like 7 a-anymore, s-s-so~"

"So you thought you could leave," father interrupts me. "You thought you're big? You thought you can handle the world alone? Let me tell you something. You're nothing more than just a rat to all those shitty people out there. Besides, what could you possibly even do out there? You're here to surpass me, you're here to beat Toshinori and restore my honor. You should be training, not running around with other stupid kids. You're not like them."

Silence.

"Ugh damn it, Tsuki! I've told you so many times before! Stop asking me this, it's not even a question. Now get back to studying or training!" he shouts. I can feel tears pushing it's way through my eyes, but I manage to hold it in. Somehow, I always do.

"I'm s-sorry, father. You're right, it was a stupid question. I won't bother you with it again."

I stand up and put my dishes in the dishwasher before walking back to my room. This is going to be a long night...
