The Blurred Lines In Between

The Blur

----Ruri P.O.V----

"HOW COULD YOU", I heard my mom yell from the upstairs of my house.
"**** you" I heard my dad yell, he ran downstairs and slammed the door on his way out, my mother also slammed her door. My dad was not back for hours, I fell asleep, I heard a creak at the front door, I slowly creeped down the hall by my mothers room and saw them cursing at each other, my dad took out a knife of some sort, as a child I didn't know what a knife does, I was a pretty stupid child...Ha..Ha.
My father stabbed her in the arm, then poured gasoline across her room, took a lighter out, and just a moment he hesitated and looked me straight in the eyes, he was crying. He lit the room up and fire raged, he ran out the door. I did not know fire either, so i stood there until i got a call from a random person, they said to run out of the house NOW. I ran out, thinking the person was right but i tripped and my leg got burnt and was bleedimg, I powered out of the house and ran on my one leg. The police came and said they found my fathers dead corpse right away, they talked about him being intoxicated. The only word I knew way to well and the reason for him killing my mom, i threw up in front of the police and ran on my one leg. They tried to catch me but lost sight, I made it to a small park and collapsed in the grass.

I saw a girl lying in the grass and when I walked over, I saw her leg bleeding, I quickly bit off some of my shirt I was wearing and rapped it around the wound she had. I didn't think it would help much but it would stop the blood. I stayed there worried, i did not have a phone and did not wanna go home and call because I had to apply pressure until it stopped bleeding, her eyes slowly opened staring deeply with a confused look at me.
----Ruri P.O.V----
I opened my eyes to see a boy about my age staring back at me. His hands were on my wound that had cloth on it. I asked him what happened and he replied "You were passed out in the park and had this big wound so I tried to stop the bleeding." I thanked him and walked to the swings and sat on it, he followed and also sat on a swing, he stared at me and asked what happened, I told him everything, I don't know why but I felt entitled to it. He smiled at me after I told him, I wanted to slap him but at the same time its was a calming smile.
----Juzo P.O.V----
I smiled only because if I cried for her, it would only hurt her. I stood up, offered my hand, "You can cry on my shoulder." I gently smiled after saying so. She stood up and cried for hours, it was 4 in the morning, so I had to get home, curfew is 12 for under 18 children. "Would you like to stay at my house?" I asked.
----Ruri P.O.V----
I said yes in the moment but what kind of parent would take in another child? We walked very far, esspecially with my leg, he told me a few more minutes, he put my arm over his shoulder to help me and we walked and walked. When we got there I told him "Smile so others can smile, for me, for everyone." He promised. He knocked on his door, his parents opened worried to god, I walked in when they said i could say, they clean and pacthed up my wound, then showed me the bed i could sleep in, I woke up from a night crying myself to sleep, walked outside and stared at what was in front of me! IT WAS A FREAKIN MANSION. These people were rich, no wonder they were fine with taking me in. I got freaked out that a rich boy would not be spoiled to the core and a jerk and his parents are the nicest people. The boy woke up, brushed his teeth, then walked down the stairs to make sure i was safe. I saw his hair in a mess and laughed at him. He walked upstairs and got dressed. The parents came down to rebandage my wound but this time it hurt a lot more because they had to pull off the bandage, "OUCH" I yelled really loud on accident. It hurt so bad but I endured the pain.
----Juzo P.O.V----
I did not tell that girl that my parents are proffesional doctors and thats most of the reason that their letting her stay. I also did not tell her we area famous rich family.... I hope she does not get mad. I finished getting dressed and brushing my hair, walked down the stairs and saw her cut open when my parents took of the bandage, they put it back on then she hopped upstairs to get ready. She finished and hopped back down, I helped so she did not fall, I suggested we going in the elevator to give a tour of where she will be living but my parents said she should rest in her bed. After breakfest, she went upstairs and laid on the bed and started asking questions.
----Ruri P.O.V----
This boy knew a lot more than i do about the world he explained what this stuff means like fire and a knife...and.....death but i was also curious about his house and family. "Why is this how so big?" I questioned. "My parents are rich doctors and we have a very good reputation." He replied. "I am suprised you are not a snooty rich boy" I said. "Many people hate me because I am rich but my family and me try to be very kind to other people." "Thats sweet." I replied but thinking about him having a loving family made me tear up, for all of mine have passed away.
----Juzo P.O.V----
"WHA WHAT DID I DO??" "Nothing Nothing.", she replied, just thinking of sad thoughts. "Don't", I hugged her and she cried on my arm for a while. "Ok I think I am fine", she stood up and said she wanted to stop laying around but my parents didn't let her and she went back to bed, since we woke up at 2 pm, staying up till 4 am, it was 7 pm so she fell asleep. i walked out and went into my room staring at the blank tv screen wondering what really happened with this girls parents. I knew she wasn't saying everything she knew but little did I know, oh how much it was and honestly I don't think she did either.
I stayed up till about ten but being tired from the other night, I went to bed early, I don't go to school because of bullies and I have a personal tutor so I can still learn. I wonder when that girl, will go to school as a matter of fact, what is her name, she never told me. I am pretty mature for a 9 year old but I learned to be tough being bullied my whole life. That girl, I did not take her in out of pity, I just wanted to be nice but when she said to me to "Smile so others can smile, for me, for everyone." I felt like she was hiding something and I don't think she is a stupid as she acts. I dazed off thinking this.

The ever so cheerful red haired boy slept peacefully as I walked in his room, Oh Mah GAWD, he was wearing the cutest red cat ears, awwww I accidently screamed out loud, he did not wake up, I grabbed the fake fluffy ear and pulled them off and put them on my head, since i did not have red hair it did not work for me but they were so cute and they were electronic and move! Why would he have these, I kept touching the fuzzy things and they moved around alot, hmm I wondered, what happens if I pet him, I put my hand on his head and rubbed and the ears did nothing but I still pet his head because it felt like a thank you to me. He woke up looking at me and then closed his eyes again. I put his fake ears on and walked out to get back to my bed, I fell back asleep until the morning. In the morning I woke up early jumping out of bed going downstairs to have my bandage changed, when the parents opened it, it turned into a big scab, they told me I dont need a bandaid anymore but if i am embarrased then I can put it on, I put it back on because i wanted to be suprised when i open it next week. I was excited for today because I would get a tour of all 20 floors in this mansion, I was pretty excited, not forgetting about my family but its not as painful now. I ran into the boys room and yelled at him to get up. He got up and instantly asked "whats your name?" I stuttered as I replied "Ru.. Ru.. Ruri." Whats your name I asked, as we still had not introduced ourselves. He replied Juzo. Thats a cool name, "I am gonna call you Juz!"
He replied laughing and his hand covering his mouth, "Im gonna call you RuRu." HAHA HA, he burst out into laughter. I ran out yelling nooooooo being embarrased, I went to my room, got dressed, brushed my teeth, combed my hair, and ate breakfast, little did I know what to be expecting today. Juz came down ready to give me a tour, I followed him to a hidden elevator and he pressed floor 3, we went up to it and it was a Huge bouncy couch with a big computer, bunch of games, and a GIANT TV! He told me this was the game/living room, he also told me that the next floor is a copy of this. We skipped to the fifth floor and it was a big room with a ledge to see outside and that was it, he told me he would show me the rest later but next was floor 20, a huge pool with a bunch of floats and slides and a gorgeous view of the whole town outside. He took me to the 1st floor again and told me that his parents need to talk to me, I went and asked them what was up. " You have to go to school next week" they both said and unison, I replied "what is school, my parents were poor and we lived in a house paid by the government." They told me all about it and that its a fun place to learn, i agreed not knowing what it actually was. Juzo came down and told me good luck at school. I wad confused and i said okay.
----One Week Later----
I slipped down the stairs on sunday morning so ready to see if my scab is gone, I removed it and it was gone but a huge scar ran down my leg, the father saw and said here use this cream it will get rid of it, I replied okay, and rubbed it on my scar and closed the tube, I put the bandage back on, and was about to go outside to get breakfast out for the first time forever, we walked out and the ground felt so good and the sun heating my head in the cool air.
