The Mute

Chapter 17

Hitomi's pov

Ochiro is going to come back, I looked around and sighed. I can't go back home. He still may be there. "I always have nowhere to go." I said chuckling, I kept on laughing as I heard it soon turn into a sob. The tears rolled down my face as I continued walking yet I wanted to just collapse onto the ground.

"Why me..?" I mumbled, "Oh yeah.." A painful smile then spread across my face. "I killed her." I felt something touch my shoulder as I quickly turned around and saw Micah standing there. Micah had a worried expression as he said carefully "You okay?"

I looked at him as I wiped my tears away and nodded silently. "Where exactly are you going?" Micah asked. I shrugged and said softly "Anywhere.." Micah shook his head playfully and pointed his finger at me "Tsk Tsk. No you are coming with me After I am done yelling at you missy!" He raised his voice a little trying not to laugh.

I looked at him confusedly as I slightly smiled and said "I am not. That's weird." He gasped and he said "Whaatt? C'mon I already told my mom." I rolled my eyes and said "Still, I can't. I'm just going to... wander." I was about to walk off until I felt my hand intertwine with another. "I said you're coming with me." Micah said sternly. I felt a shiver go up my spine as I reluctantly turned around to see his expression.

Micah's face was as cold as stone, I gulped and looked around and nodded slowly. I was scared of Micah. That's unusual. Micah then grabbed my hand happily as I followed his footsteps to wait where? "Where exactly are we going? What about Beca?"

"Oh Beca has to stay for Saturday school and my mom's going to pick me up. Oh. You may want to cover your ears during the way to my house.." I then heard him mumble something about a monster? I shrugged it off as he pulled me back forward to the front of the school.

There was a small black car that can at least fit in 4 people. Micah walked to it slowly and knocked on the car door. The window slowly wad pulled down and there sat there a lady with blonde hair like Micah's but instead had brown eyes. She stared at me inspecting me as if I were a toy and then whipped her head to Micah.

"Where do you think you've been?!" She shrieked as Micah and I flinched from the sudden change of emotion. "Answer me Micah or I'll rip--" She was then cut off by Micah saying "I'll tell you at the house." Micah looked at me as a sign telling me sorry. I looked away and wondered what she was going to think. Probably that I'm a killer.

Most likely. Micah then told his mom to unlock the doors as he sat up front and I sat in the back with only my ear buds and music player. The ride was silence until Micah's Mom asked "So, What's your name sweetie?" I felt a nostalgic feeling build in my chest as I heard the word sweetie. "I..
My name is Hitomi.."

"Ah. What a beautiful name it means Beautiful in japanese for the letter kanji right..?" I nodded taking note of her intelligence. "What's the relationship with you and Micah?" I tilted my head "We're friends." Micah's mom then nodded and looked at her son smiling.

"Ah, I thought you had a deeper relationship." I saw Micah slightly jump in his seat as he face him Mom and said "Mom?!" I felt a tingling sensation dance on my cheeks as I covered my face. "Where home!~" Micah's mom sang delightfully as she put the brakes and opened her door and got out. I did the same and looked at Micah's house.

It was an average house but a little bigger and painted light brown and the rims of wood dark brown.

"Well we're home."
