All or Nothing

Chapter 1: The Guy

A/N:

Hi guys! I've put a photo of my character design for Ryuji in The Sims 4 version. This is just for now cos my brother and my friend are making the illustrations of the characters and the scenes stuff in anime style. I am not so good with male sims lol! But yeah, that's how Ryuji looks like but more in a Japanese look, forgive me if he doesn't look so Japanese in this sim. I'm really not good with male sims :( Here's a The Sims 4 version of Ryuji's character design. I played with The Sims 4 and I goofed around heehee and made something out of my boredom lol. Again, forgive me for not making a good Japanese looking guy sims model for Ryuji. I'll try my best next time. :)

Ryuji's POV*

As I'm fixing my necktie and my coat, a knock on the door interrupted my routine.

*knock knock*

"Come in.." I said while doing my tie.

"Ryuji, everyone's waiting for you." Casimiro said when he entered my room. We're buddies since we were kids so I trust this guy even though he can be so annoying sometimes. I call him Miro for short but he doesn't like that, such a kill joy.

"Yeah, I'll be right there man. " I said while walking towards my bedside table. I can't find my watch. Why does it disappear whenever I need it? Darn it! Forget it. Miro raised his one eyebrow like a lady, losing his patience, I guess.

"You know this is an important meeting, right?" He asked while crossing his arms.

"Of course! Don't worry man, I'm done." I flashed a smile towards him and he gave me a sigh before walking out of my room. Why is everyone so tense about this meeting anyway?

Oh, pardon me for not formally introducing myself. I'm Ryuji Matsumoto, 26 years old and I'm a singer and actor back in my home country, which is Japan. I traveled here in England with my family to open up a new branch of our department store business. This business thingy is not really my thing so I don't know how this will work out with me. I've been here before so it's not a new thing to me, but still, girls are always exciting, aren't they? My parents kept on bothering me to get married, but hey, you can't blame me for being single for years since girls just want my family's money so no can do. I just wanna have fun while I can. I'm too young to get tied up with a woman forever, I still want to do more shows and movies before entering the married life.

(Dining Hall)*

Dad is talking with his brothers about the opening of the department store here in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Mom's busy discussing something with my grandmother until she looks my way.

"Ryuji.." Mom called while she smiles and lifts her glass of wine.

I smiled back at her and raised my glass of wine as well. When grandma whispered something to my Mom, she stood up and walked towards me.

"Son, there's something we want you to do for us." She explained while putting down her glass of wine.

"As long as I'm not gonna die, of course! Anything for you, Mom." I joked with her and she did laughed softly.

"Oh sweetie, don't worry. It's for your own sake and for our family." She replied.

"Then what is it?" I wonder why do they have to ask me when my brother should be the one handling all these business stuff.

Oh yeah, I have a brother. He's name is Kenrick Matsumoto. He's 2 years older than me but he's so serious with life and business. That's why I know he can handle this department store more than me. Where the heck is that guy anyway? I thought this is an important meeting but why is he not here?

"We'll talk about it later, sweetie." She said and kissed me on my forehead. I'm too old for that but yeah I still let her do that to me.

And so, my dad started the meeting and discussed the stuff they're planning for the store.

(Matsumoto Estate Garden)*

"Sweetie?" Mom approached me while I was gazing at the stars above.

"Mom." I smiled at her and let her sit beside me on a swing.

"Uhm, I know this is going to shock you..." She stopped.

"Hmm...?" I'm waiting for her to continue when Miro came running towards us.

"Aunt Yui, Ryuji, it's grandma..." he said, looking so worried. So without second thoughts, we followed him back inside the house.

(Outside Grandma's Bedroom)*

Oh darn, this is what our relatives are waiting for, grandma's death. But no, she's not dead yet. She's inside now when the doctor went out of the room.

"How is she?" Mom asked the doctor.

"To be honest, she's not doing well. Her heart rate is falling and she needs a 24 hour observation. I suggest we take her to the hospital and run some laboratory tests for further check up. I'm calling an ambulance to take her there." Doctor said while putting her stethoscope back in her bag.

"Do what you must, Doctor. Please, save my mom." Mom cried.

I couldn't do anything but to hug and comfort Mom while she sobs in my arms.
