If you don't stand up for something, you'll fall for everything.

"Why didn't you tell us?"
"What for? I think it was meant to happen." I said with a shrug.
"Do you really want that to happen? Huh?" Papa said with anger visible in his voice.
"What if I said I wish I was dead?" I said with a smug smirk in my face
"Can you even hear what you're saying?! Death! Do you think you can ever go back once your dead?! No!"
I didn't speak. What can I say? We will just end up debating here about life and death. I just want to see Akihiro. I think that would bring peace to my mind. Kai and Kimaru just gave me a headache. Bastards.
"Just bring Akihiro here." I said and looked away.
They both sighed and went outside. I heard the door open but I didn't look. Mamaya sina Kai lang pala yan eh. Suddenly someone hugged me from the side.
"I missed you."
My lips instantly formed a smile. Hearing his voice is everything. Of course I missed him too. I slept for like, a whole day. I didn't even get the chance to eat. Plus, the two boys are so noisy. Fighting nonstop.
I messed up his hair, "I missed you too, little guy."
He was telling me how his day was. What he did when I wasn't awake. Everything he did. His dreams that has always something to do with me. I couldn't help but smile but tears slowly rolled down my cheeks while listening to him.
He hurriedly wiped them and looked at me, "Stop crying. Why are you even crying?"
A chuckle escaped from my mouth, "I love you sooo much." I said as I hugged him tight.
"I love you too so much that's why you are always involved with my dreams and plans."
I also want to be there, Akihiro. I want to witness you grow up and do things adults or teenagers do. I want to see you have a family of your own. But I'm afraid it'll just be you, little guy.
I can't be with you any longer.. You're growing up.

"Arika!" Jiama called as Arika walked down the halls with her friends.
"Yes?" She said as she faced her.
"I need to talk to you about something."
"About?" She said as she raised her brow.
"In my office. Just you." Jiama said as she started walking away.
They were wondering what they would talk about. But one thing's for sure. This talk wouldn't be good. They looked at each other and gave each a questioned look.
"You wait for me outside her office, okay?"
They just nodded and went to Jiama's office. She knocked three times at the door before entering her office. Jiama was seated in her seat, both hands clasped together while her chin was resting at them. Arika finds it very creepy.
"Sit down."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Sasura."
Arika was shocked. Her eyes are trembling. What if they find out? Her anger rose, upon knowing that Sasura told them about their doings. She kept a brave face even though she's somehow nervous.
"What about her?" She said, trying her best to not to show any emotion.
"Did you see her yesterday? Or are you even with her?"
Arika tensed up, "No." She rubbed her palms together.
"Are you sure?"
Arika just nodded her head. Not speaking, afraid she'll say something about what happened. Jiama looked intently at her before nodding. She sighed in relief.
"Okay, you can go now." Arika hurriedly went out of her office.
Her friends stood up and approached her. Arika pulled them away from Jiama's office. Because if they talked there Jiama might hear them. What scares Arika is, what if someone saw them?

"I want to go home now!"
"You still can't."
"And why not?"
"You're still weak."
"For your information, I'm even better than yesterday! So let me out here!"
Sasura and Kimaru are fighting for like, an hour now. Kai already went home, even though he still wants to stay. But he can't. He has to go to school tomorrow. Sasura really wants to go home already, but sadly, she still can't.
"Still, you can't." Kimaru said while scrolling through his phone.
Sasura mentally rolled her eyes and crossed her arms at her chest. She knows he can't resist her. Yes, she's taking advantage.
Kimaru sighed and went near her, "What d'you want?"
-
"I don't know."
"Hey! I know you know where she is."
"I know? You know? We all know!"
Vash gave him a straight face and playfully punched him in his chest. Kai acted as if he was hurt.
"But seriously, where's Sasura?"
Kai sighed and looked at Vash, "I said I don't know, man." He said as he looked away.
"You guys were the only one absent yesterday. I hope she's okay. I miss that sneaky alien." Vash smiled upon saying her nickname for Sasura.
"Why d'you call her that?" Kai asked out of curiosity.
"Well you see---" He was cut off when Jiama entered the room with a serious face plastered on her face.
"Okay, so the fair has been postponed due to some reasons."
Everyon reacted, of course. They wanted to go to the fair and have their break. But sorry for them, some workers who would do the fair had a problem.
"And Sasura won't be with us for a while."
"Why? Where is she?" Vash asked.
Jiama passed a look at Kai and looked at Vash, "Where she'll get better."
-
"What?! Are you serious?!"
"I am dead serious."
Kimaru ruffled his hair and lookes at Sasura, "You know I can't do that!"
"We would both get what we want. I get to find what I need and get out of here. And you get to be with me." Sasura said with a shrug.
"Still, you can't leave."
"Then it's your lost."
Kimaru cursed inside his head. He wanted to be with her. He wanted to spend more time with her. Do everything just to get her back. But... No...
Kimaru sighed and looked at her, "I'll think about it."
I'm sorry, Kimaru. Was all she could think of.
