Chapter Six: The Yu's

Ayzen had been asleep for the whole bus ride, surprisingly. Their stop was the first one in town. "I wonder why the school feels so much more farther than the first bus ride." Cosmo questioned. "Maybe the whole campus moves over night." Sage laughs. 

"Oh it does." Ms. Haven added in. "It moves gradually, about one mile a day." The two were stunned. "GOOD MORNING!" Ayzen yelled as he woke up.

"It's seven pm Az." Sage shook her head.

*FIRST STOP REACHED: THE YU'S*

"As an honorary member of the Yu family, I'll be getting off." Ayzen said sprinting off the bus.

Sage had to explain while Cosmo caught up with Ayzen. Ayzen promptly knocked on the door. "YOUR CHILDREN ARE HOME!" He yelled. "That nap really recharged you huh." Sage said walking off of the bus. 

When the door opened however...

-------

"Mom...dad... nice to see you." Ayzen said weakly. His parents had decided to visit the Yu's and well he had trying to avoid them. Sage and Cosmo went inside while they stayed out. "So you were trying to avoid us huh?" Mr. Thompson said sternly.

"I- um... no." Ayzen stumbled on his words. "You know that you need to be top of your class right? The Ni-eme whatever kid can't be ahead of you. We've already ran out of money from the compensation the school gave us." Mrs. Thompson asserted.

"The top student by the end of the school year get $5,000... were you the top student Jackie." Ayzen remained quiet. *SMACK* Mrs. Thompson slapped Ayzen across the face. "Sorry..." "Don't show your face in this town until you have the money." Mr. Thompson said shoving Ayzen to the ground. 

Ayzen got up and went inside as his parents drove off. "You good Azzy?" "...yea lets go meet your parents."

As they walked through the hallway a sense of nostalgia came over them. "Remember the old vase that used to be on this stool." Ayzen pointed out. "Yeah, before you hit it with a soccer ball." Sage rolled her eyes playfully.

"Hey, indoor soccer is better than outdoor soccer." Ayzen laughed. 

They made the dinning room and saw Cosmo sitting down with Mr. and Mrs. Yu. "Look at the beautiful couple." Mrs. Yu smiled. "When are my grandbabies coming?" "DAD!" "Just joking, just joking."

Dinner went well enough. "Thank you for the food." Ayzen said, politely. "Anything for my future son in law." Mrs. Yu smiled. 

The three made their way upstairs and there was only two rooms. "Well you can sleep with Cosmo, Ayzen." Sage said. "...no." Ayzen grabbed Sage and went into the first room. "Don't do anything weird!" Cosmo said as he went to bed.

*STOP REACHED: ILU RESIDENCE* Jace walked off the bus, headphones in ear on full blast.

As he walked in there were beer bottles all over the floor. As he trodding past he saw- "What the fuck is wrong with you! Do you not even know how to cook noodles!" His foster father was yelling at his foster sister.

Tory was there with a burnt bowl of noodles in hand. She was only six so she didn't really know how to cook anything, especially since her mother abandoned her on the doorstep of an adoption center when she was only three.

She had been living with them for two years until Jace had to leave for P.D High. The man suddenly picked up a broken beer bottle. "Step the fuck away from her." Jace said sternly.

"Oh, the little shit is back. Where's my compensation for giving you to that government school." "I'm using it to get me and Tory out of this hellhole." "You bitch, give me the money. Now!"

Tory ran towards Jace. "Get back here-" "Leave her alone. Go outside ok T?" Tory ran out the door, shutting it behind her.

"You're in for it now little punk." The man stepped closer and without a second thought Jace increased his heart rate and punched the man into a wall. The man then fell head first into a broken beer bottle, piercing his skull.

"Well shit." Jace said. 

Slowly he dragged the body into the backyard and covered it with a mat. "..." Jace wanted to feel bad but... he was about to hit his sister. He made his way back to Tory. "Let's stay at a hotel tonight."
