Y/N's POV

Its been two years and a half since I last saw Kaori. I look out of the window of our apartment, I see snowflakes falling from the London sky...

Yes, we traveled to London for another silly piano competition, this is probably my 9th competition here and all of it I won. If your wondering what happened to the last competition at Japan I won and got invited for overseas competition, that I don't want to enter but mother and father forced me to.

"Hey Y/N! Who said you can take a break?!" mother shouted that made me flinch.

"Mother! I'm just taking a five minutes break!" I said.

"I didn't say that you can take a break! The finals is in 2 days! And you won't stop until you finish that piece!" mother shouted.

I've been practicing non stop, my hands hurts and my body aches, I have scars and bruises all over my body, that I cover in make up when I'm at the competition or school.

"Mother... Please just a little break..." I said.

"YOU WON'T FOLLOW ME?! SO THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT OK!" mother shouted

"SO YOUR NOT GONNA PLAY ARE YOU?!" mother still shouted and grabbed her knife, no no no no no.

"Mother no please" I said, she's always like this well she's bipolar.....

"I had enough." I said that made mother stop hurting me.

"What did you say?" mother asked.

"I SAID I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!" I shouted and grabbed the knife from her hands and stab her with it.

"W-what... Wait w-what have I done?" I asked and looked at my hands and dropped the knife.

"Y/N?! Whats going-- WHAT DID YOU DO?!" father shouted as he ran to my mother.

"I- I didn't m-mean to.." I said.

"YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO?! LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" father shouted.

"WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO LOOK AT MY SIDE! YOU NEVER TRY TO HELP ME! SHE WAS GOING TO USE THE KNIFE TO ME BECAUSE I TOOK A FIVE MINUTE BREAK?! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS?! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SWEET AND LOVING PARENTS I ONCE KNEW?!  YOU ALL CHANGED!" I said as my voice cracked.

"You never loved me, you never did. I'm just an object to you..." I said looking on the floor. I looked at my father one more time.

"I'm still going to the competition. For you guys." I said and entered my room.

~•Time Skip•~

I spent a day in my room crying. My father said that my mother is..... Gone..... The competition is scheduled later, and I'm getting ready.

I finished getting ready and got all my things, I walk to the door where my father is waitin

"Let's go." I said with a monotone voice and my father nodded. He stopped hurting me since yesterday.... I entered the car and sat at the back.

The whole ride was silent and I can stop thinking that I killed my mother...... Everytime I remember it, I sigh.

A doctor came to our apartment and checked on my mother, I heard their conversation and the doctor said that he can't do anything to revive my mother..... And that's when we also knew that my mother had cancer.. Stage 3 she wasn't telling us that she already had a couple of days left...

"Y/N, we're here" father said and I nodded, I got out of the car and walked to the backstage not even glancing to my father.

I only have two competitor, Takeshi and someone named Gabriel. I walked to a chair and sat there, I will be playing Fur Elise by Beethoven, I will be the one that will play that piece here completely, because the others that plays that doesn't finish it.

"Hey, you ok?" Takeshi asked and I nodded, he walked to the entrance of the stage since his next. I haven't played the piano since the incident.

"Y/N L/N, you're next" Someone said and I got up and walk to the entrance of the stage, Takeshi walk pass me but stopped behind me.

"Good luck..." Takeshi said and I walked to the stage, I bowed and sat on the piano chair.

"3, 2, 1, Go" I said and started playing, I played fine and at the right pace, in the middle of my playing, what's this feeling? I started to see blood on my hands and on the keys.
"W-what's happening?" I asked.

I looked at the audience and...... Saw my mother smiling at me evily.... my eyes widen as the scent of blood hit my nose.
"P-please stop.." I said as tears started to fall from my face. My playing became slower and slower every minute, but I kept playing for father and mother.... I hear screams of my mother instead of the piano.

"Stop, please" I begged, good thing I memorized the keys that needed to be press 'Why can't I hear the piano?!' I said through my mind.

I finished the piano and stood from the piano sit, sweating and panting, crying, I bowed in front of the audience and they cheered.... They like my piano but I can't even hear the keys only screams of my mother... I thought.

>>Time Skip<<

"I- I w-won?" I said as I'm looking at the results, I sighed and left.

"Father let's go..." I said and he nodded with a smile, not a smile because I won, a smile because he'll have the cash price, I know right what a great parent he is!

I was just day dreaming until.

"I will still punish you for killing your mother" father said, spoke to soon he'll still hurt me after all.

"And we're going back to Japan, after I punish you" he said.

1 Year Later

Father already got the cash prize last 11 months and he always beat me up. I never played the piano ever since, I always see blood and hear the screams of my mother instead of the piano...... Today's the day we go back to Japan. I know he said that we will go back to Japan after he beat me up but I know my father, he doesn't keep his word.....

I packed all my things and put important files in a sling bag and my clothes and other things in my case, I have another case that is full of piano stuffs....

I walked to the door and took one last glance at our apartment one last time, I got in the car and the car moved its a 2 hour ride to the airport and I will just read a book to kill time, ever since I stopped playing piano, I read books instead.

"Hey Y/N, we're here" father said and I nodded, I got out of the car and got my bags out of the trunk, I entered the airport.

"I'm coming home..." I said and walked into the airport.
