The Broken Hero

Chapter 17

After I finished talking with Elne through the phone y got out of my bed and headed to the bathroom so that I could take a bath. I thought if I took a bath, all of my problems would wash away, although I knew it wouldn't change anything, but it would at least cool me down and help me relax a little.

Elne saw through me... He knew something was up, I really respect him. I will talk with you when everyone else has already gone home, that is what I told him. That is what I promised him.

Once I got inside the bathroom and had already been completely naked, someone knocked on the door,

"Hey Bro, You in there?" It was Ashley,

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"N-No, nothing..." she sounded a bit embarrassed,

"Oh, just so you know, I'll be going to Elne's house later today." 

"O-Oh... is that so..." It couldn't be right, did she already have plans for today? I would feel very guilty if that was the case,

"Don't worry it won't be for to long."

"Hmm, It doesn't really matter..."

"So what's wrong?"

"Just promise me..." What is it that she wants to promise? I'm kind of afraid of what she is going to say,

"Ok..."

"When you are in any sort of trouble... you can always talk with Marry and me..." Oh, so that's what this is about...

"Of course, you two are my precious little sisters after all..." if I was going to talk with Elne about this, it wouldn't be fair if both my sisters didn't know anything about me, although I did feel a little embarrassed because I am talking with her while I'm inside the bathroom naked, "I wouldn't mind talking with you two, even if I didn't talk with you, you would find out one way or the other."

"haha... Guess you are right. Still, don't be afraid to talk with us about your problems" and with those final words, her faint footsteps start to fade away over time. Wow, I'm really surprised, for Ashley to talk with me like that is something rare, I would imagine Marry, but Ashley...

"To many things have changed..." after that last thought I finally took my bath.

When I finish taking my bath, I get changed, brush my hair, clean up my room and brush my teeth. I take out my phone to see the time, 12:12, 

"Tow hours more..." I don't know about you guys reading, but whenever I am invited to a party or a friend's house, I just don't know what to do, so I just walk around my room waiting for the time to come, " I'm board"

With nothing else to do, I head downstairs where Marry is doing some homework and Ashley is watching TV,

"Good Morning Rev" said Ashley from the couch that was on the other side of the room,

"Morning." now that I think about it, didn't someone else call me Rev... Oh Right, Gan. Wonder where he is right now, hope he's doing ok. He was all beat up last night, scratches everywhere. Ashly silently sat on the couch watching what looked like those cheesy and lame TV novels, "I'm heading out for a moment," even though it was still not time, I thought it would be nice to go around town with my bike and then head to Elne's house when it's time,

"Ok, just don't stay out late again like yesterday." said Marry with a slight grin on her face,

"Don't worry, i'll come home early,

"See you later" said Ashley while she was still watching the TV,

"Yeah, later" I answered and then headed out to get my bike and start riding around.
