Let Me Be Your Hero

Let Me Be Your Hero ~1~

Chapter 1

Lyric's P.O.V

I looked around my room. I had cleaned it because I'm leaving. Everything's just too much now. I left a letter on my pillow explaining why I'm gone, if they ever notice I'm gone. I grabbed up my duffel bag and jumped from my bedroom window, which by the way was on the second story. I landed on the balls of my feet bending my knees some so I could land just right. Then, I took off running as tears started to pour out of my eyes. I could still hear them fighting. This is why I'm running. I just have to. I have nobody and I can't go through this anymore. I've finally broke.

One Week Later

Luka's P.O.V

"TROUBLE MAKERS! TROUBLE MAKERS! TROUBLE MAKERS!" I heard the crowd cheering our band's name as me and my band mates walked off stage. Yeah, life is good. SMirking, I walked with my band mates onto our tour bus. We have about a 10 hour trip to go. We have a concert tomorrow night and we have to get some sleep in before then. I fel onto our couch as the others fell in a chair or the other couch. See, my band is called Trouble Makers. My band mates are Tanner, back up singer and guitar player, Adam, key boardist, Jimmy, drummer, Kaden, bass player, and lastly me, lead guitar and singer.

Our manager Tony came out looking nervous. Huh, that's weird. Tony is never nervous. He spotted me and blew out a deep breath. Confused, I asked,"Uh, Tony, is everything ok?" He sighed before handing me an envelope. He explained,"It's a letter from your parents." I looked ta him shocked. My parents have never tried contacting me. Why now? And why so suddenly? I took it and said,"I'm going to the backroom to read this." He and all my mates nodded, knowing I needed my privacy.

I went back and sat down on my bed. It was the bed room, it had two bunk beds and one single. Mine was the single.

I sighed before looking at the envelope. On the front, it said:

To Luka Rain

From Mom and Dad

Yeah, like they deserve that title. After a second of thinking it over, I decided to open the envelope. I pulled out two letters. The first one was from my parents and it read:

Dear Luka,

Your sister has finally opened our eyes to everything. For years, we fought and basically destroyed your and hers childhood. We can't believe it took us this long to realize our mistakes. Now that our eyes are finally open, we're going to quit fighting and try working things out. We miss you son and want to restart everything even though we understand if you don't want to. We're just sad that it took the fact that we lost two children to wake us up. If you haven't heard the news, well read the next letter to know what we're talking about. Just know that we're doing everything in our power to find her and get her back.

Love, Mom and Dad.

Confused, I looked at the other letter. Even though I haven't seen her in about a year, I still recognized her hand writing. It was a letter from Lyric to our parents. It read:

Dear Mom and Dad,

I can't take this any longer. Your fightingmore than ever now. I've finally broke, so congratulations, you've managed to lose two kids! Hope your so happy. Now, thsi letter is just to tell you hwy I ran away mostly. I've left because of your fighting, and the fact that I'm alone. When Luka was here, he raised me and took care of me, unlike you two. I had looked up to him. I always knew your fighting was hard on him, and especially since he had to raise me, I had always stayed strong for him hoping I could help him through everything. But, since he has been gone with no contact, I just can't handle this. I'm alone now, I have nobody to help me through this and I have nobody I need to be strong for. My mask has finally fallen off and broken. The pain and hurt I've bottled up has shattered and hit me with full force. Luka had always been the one to keep me together but now I'm just alone. So, maybe one day you two will get over the fighting and live a happy life because I probably won't. My childhood was taken from me. I had to grow up too fast. Finally though, I've cracked. So, hope your so happy with what you've done. Have a great life.

Love Lyric

The words were harsh, but true. I was shocked though, because for one, I can't believe she actually ran away. Two, it's half my fault. How could I have been so stupid. She had looked up to me. She had stayed strong for me. She was always there for me. And yet, I abandoned her, and left her to fend for herself. I never knew that she was hurting just as bad, or even more than me. How could I have been such an idiot? Looking back, all the signs were there.  The way she would blink, I thought she just got stuff in her eyes alot, but it was to hold back tears. The way she would clench her fists, as if she were wishing she could hit something.

She had always helped me, like when I cried because everything was too much, she was there to hug me and wipe my tears away. When I would hit something, she would always wash out the cut, bandage them up, and then put ice on it to keep the swellon down. I should have been the one doing that. I was the older brother and while she was the younger sister. All the years I was always jealous of her becasue she seemed unaffected, she really was just trying to be strong. I shound have been the one to be strong. I'm such a jerk.

I hadn't realized it, but tears were silently falling down my eyes. I roughly wiped them away. I can't jsut sit here and cry, I have to help find her! I need to apologize and make it up to her. She could come on tour with me. Or I could buy her anything she wants. I just have to make it up. I walked back out and everyone looked at me, curious to knwo what the letter was about. I scratched the back of my neck before letting out the breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding. Looking at Jimmy, I asked,"Hey, I need you to call up Jeff and have him try and find someone for me." He nodded and asked,"Ok, but, um, who do you want me to have him try and find."

Well, see the guys don't know about Lyric so this'll be a big shock to them. I sighed before replying,"Lyric Rain. My 15 year old little sister." They all gawked at me. Tanner exclaimed,"YOU HAVE A SISTER?" I nodded. Adam asked,"Why did you never tell us?" I frowned and then replied back,"Well, I basically abandoned her when I joined the band. I didn't think she'd need me. I never actually appreciated her and just left her alone." See, they all knew about my parents but I had never mentioned Lyric. They all nodded but Jimmy then asked,"Why do you want to suddenly find her? IS she knot with your parents?" I sunk down in a chair with my head falling in my hands befor I answered,"No. She ran away and it's half my fault." The pain in my chest doubled knowing that if anything happened to her, I helped caused it. My whole world just got flipped upside down.
