Komi's Life After

- Day One -

Authors Note: -ff.net induced mental breakdown-

TTTTTTTT

Night had befallen the trio, they where all emotionally drained and tired from the days events. Komi had not stopped driving so far, with the exception of the now full tank of gas they had. They all dared not to speak too much, or too little either. Kori and Ryan were still in the backseat, Ryan had gotten out once at a gas station to use the faculties, and Kori as well to get a few bites to eat for them all.

Now, Komi drove on an isolated road, Kori and Ryan alseep in backseat, Ryan laying atop Kori's back as the slept so peacefully.

Komi, however, was still wide awake, still driving down the winding road.

Komi was alone with her thoughts once more, left to the painful and lonesome silence that was o her own doing.

During this silence, she was conflicted; how would she provide for her siblings, money would be an issue later on. It wasn't how, but only because she knew that Komi and her own money combined would suffice for a few weeks, the two weren't very heavy spenders. What about their education? Ryan and Kori where still in school, Komi didn't want to jeopardize their future. She knew that herself would be none other than a drifter in her own future, but her siblings were so much brighter than she. She could see them actually becoming something greater, they already fit in with society quite well.

For herself? Well, she hardly fit in, no matter how much her brother and sister thought she did. In fact, Komi believed she was completely and utterly odd. Too her, her hair was too black, her skin was too tan, and eyes of deep violet too colorful, yes, she did think she was the pedestal of oddities.

She sighed, though she had mastered the English language and slang very well, her siblings seemed to be more inviting and more appealing to Americans. Try as she might, everyone seemed to flock to their exoticness over her own.

So yeah, she knew that's they'd be something so much better that herself. They'd be treated with the respect and honor of an actual person.

Komi hadn't noticed when her for eased onto the brakes, all he knew was that she was now silently sobbing in the middle of the deserted road that they'd been driving down for over eight hours, tears falling at a minimum so not to wake her siblings. As soon as she realized she was crying she cut off all emotion and dried her damp cheeks with the sleeve of her long sleeved sweater her mother had bought for her a few christmasses ago. It was a very cute sweater, a deep purple with nice little-

"Kom?" She heard a small voice whisper, fatigue evident in the tone.

Komi swiveled her head around to see her sister sitting upright, Ryan's head still motionless with the exception of his chest rising and falling in Kori's lap.

"Kori."

"Why have we stopped moving?" Kori yawned, stretching her arms over her head in a feline looking position.

"I'm tired." Komi stated, simply.

"Then I wish to drive." Kori started, but stopped to ponder for a moment. "I apologize, if you would allow me to drive, that is."

Komi thought to herself for a few before replying with, "Sure." and unbuckling her seatbelt. She trusted Kori, she did have her license already, after all.

Komi thrusted the car into park and stepped out, the walked over to Kori's side, who by this time had already made it around to the drivers side. But, instead of hopping into the backseat, Komi hopped into the passenger seat. Once comfortable, Komi didn't even bother to re-buckle herself in, she took off her boots and reclined her seat, rolled her window down and removed her socks, then stuck her feet out of the windown.
