Take Me Away

Daiki

It took every ounce of my control to sit quietly the entire time. I wanted nothing more then to hunt down her father and beat the living shit out of him. But even more so, I wanted to beat the living shit out of myself. How could I not have noticed? This shit was happening all this time and I didn't know? I promised to protect Ambi, how could I protect her when I couldn't even pick up on something as grave as this? And she said this shit started NINE fucking years ago? How the fuck did I not know? I swear I'm gonna fucking kill him. How could he do this to MY Ambi? Put her through so much pain. He's sick. He's fucking sick. His OWN fucking daughter? He seemed so nice. So caring. So normal. This goes to show us you can't trust a person so simply. You can't trust faces.

When we were younger ambi always seemed so happy. Smiling broadly. Never caring what the other kids said about her or how they treated her. I loved that smile. I'm sure it was hard to keep. I was young too but still I should have payed more attention. I should have seen through her happy façade. I swear I'm gonna kill him.

It hurt knowing that this all was happening all this fucking time without me having even the slightest clue. I'm sure there must have been signs. Kuso! I have to be here for her now more than ever. She believe it's her fault. It's not her fucking fault and I'm going to beat the shit out of that man first step he takes into this house.

I've wondered why ambi was harming her self in such dire conditions but I never imagined a scenario as vile as this. All those years she had to endure this shit night after night. With no one to be there for her. I should have been there for her. I'm going to fucking kill him.

'Calm down Daiki Ambi needs you right now.'

I cant fucking calm down all I see is red and I swear I'm gonna fucking kill him. Kuso! I try to push those thoughts away for now and focus on comfortimg Ambi. She's still crying and i've never seen her cry this much. Not since her mother left. I squeeze her tighter pulling her even closer, face buried in my chest. I don't know what I can do to keep Ambi with me, and it scares me. She needs reassurance but she's so far gone I have no idea what I can possibly do. She wants more than anything to leave this world and I want more than anything for her to stay with me. But I will support her in the end and if it comes down to it, when she leaves I'm going with her. I don't know if I can save her from herself.

Ambi has a gift though, we found out when we were younger no matter how serious the injury she always heals unnaturally quick. I think she was blessed with immortality, her name says it all. But she was always keen on calling it a curse. I guess now I know why.

By now she's stopped crying and we're sitting in silence. I have no idea how much time has passed.

"Ambi, I'll always be here to protect you, you know that right?"

She sat up straight to look at me eyes searching mine. She never gave me an answer. We heard the front door open. It wasn't long after that all hell broke loose.
