Chapter III

A/N: So my dear readers, how do you like the story? It probably won't turn out as romance. Well, please comment! Happy reading!

Zoro's POV

"Your doing what!?" I shouted, looking at my dad.

"I said I'm going on a date tomorrow," he repeated. I shook my head in disbelief.

"I don't know why you would do this dad, what about mum?" I said, thinking about the terrible events of that day, long ago. I was only nine back then.

"Bye mum, see you when you come back," I said, giggling as my dad lifted me on his shoulders. I waved as she drove away. An hour later I was setting the table when I heard a car pull up in the drive.

"Hey dad, mum's home," I shouted, running to get the door. Then I saw the blue lights flashing through the window. My dad came up behind me and opened the door. Two police men stood at our door looking at me sadly. Apparently she had been driving down the freeway when the car next to her had lost control and crashed into her's, tipping it over. The car had exploded into flames and they hadn't got her out in time. That was ten years ago.

I stalked outside and started training, releasing my anger by exercising. I soon worked up a sweat but I didn't stop till I couldn't physically go on. I walked over to the tree growing next to our fence and sat down, resting my head on its bumpy surface. I fell asleep, my dads announcement haunting my dreams. When I woke up it was about 8:00 and the descending sun was casting shadows across the lawn. I stood up and stretched, every bone in my body groaning as I moved my stiff limbs. I walked inside and found note on the table. I picked it up and read it, recognising my dads handwriting immediately.

I scrunched up the letter and threw it in the bin, frowning. How would you know what mum would think? I grabbed the money and decided it would be wise to get it delivered instead of walking to the shop. I picked up the phone and dialled in the pizza shops number. I ordered a meat lover pizza and gave them my address.  I was sitting on the couch watching television when I heard them knock on the door. I walked over to the door and opened it. I paid the pizza man the money and closed the door.

After I had eaten I went to my room and laid on my bed. I thought about my friends at school. We had agreed to meet at the park tomorrow at 11:00. I haven't told dad yet but why should I? I sighed, I should probably get to bed. It was only 10:00 but knowing myself I would get up late and get lost on the way to the park even though it was only just around the corner. My sense of direction wasn't horrible, my friends just have a habit of getting lost. Oh well, I thought, better get to bed.
