Chapter 8:In my Room

Marco pov

I watched through the glass as Kira walked away. I scrunched my fists, "Someone that'll kill me huh, yoi?" I turn away, "That doesn't scare me at all, yoi." I mumbled. I left the hospital, feeling absolutely frustrated. This damn woman keeps leaving me in the dark. If someone else were in my shoes, they'd walk away in a instant, maybe even leave Kira to deal with whatever Kira has to deal with...but..I choose to stay. It's as clear as day now.

'Kira could be in a damn abusive relationship, yoi.'

I got in the car, and drove off home. Once home, I made a phone call.

"Marco? Did you really have to call me? Ace & I were having us time!" Itami hissed. I roll my eyes, "Well Ace had better stop having sex with you right now, yoi. Its important, yoi." I spoke. I heard shuffling, "What do you mean?" she asked. "What I mean is, is that it involves Kira, you're cousin, yoi." I add. "Kira? Why her?" she questioned. "Because," I said, "I think that Kira could be in a bad relationship with someone, yoi." I state. "And why the hell do you say that?" Itami growled. I told her of my story about what just happened at the hospital with my check up, and even brought up some other stuff from when I was in the hospital way back. Itami was silent the whole time, which meant that she was definitely listening. When I finish, Itami sighed. "You know...I never really got to really talk to him, you know?" "Not even a small one?" "Yeah...she never brings him up either when I rarely get to see her. She hardly ever gets out anymore..its sad." Itami sighed. "What now, yoi?" I asked. "I honestly wished I knew what next step we should take, but..I do not. All we'll have to do is just...wait?" Itami finished. "WAIT!?" I yelled, "What if she is in a bad relationship, yoi? She'll just end up getting more hurt and-"

"Marco. Listen to me. We don't have enough hard evidence to see if Kira really is in a bad state right now, so we can't act until we have fool proof evidence to really know whats going on with my cousin, and this boyfriend of hers. Look, I'm sorry....but its all we can do." Itami acknowledged. I scrunch my fist and sighed, "Its okay...sorry for yelling at you, yoi." I mumble. "Trust me, I know how you feel. But until then, lets just sit back, and wait to see what will happen. Now I gotta go, Ace got his hand stuck in a jar, and he's yelling at me to help him." She sighed. I smile, "Take care, yoi." "Over & out."

Itami ended the call, and I chucked my phone next to me, I sat there, taking in what Itami had just said.

'Waiting.....thats all we can do, she said, yoi.....' I stand up, 'I call that complete utter bullshit, Itami, yoi. You can sit & wait, but I'm gonna go in, and find out whats going on, yoi.'

Kira pov

I could hear loud yelling coming from downstairs. I sat on my bed, my door locked. This time, I made sure to barricade my door as well. The yelling were loud, and I hid my head behind my hiked up knees. I scrunched my hands into a fist. I had gotten so accustomed to crying, that I just didn't bother in wiping away my tears. I sniffed, and stared at the wooden floors that were alight. My room was right above where Josiah & his lackeys were. He sometimes invites them over to trade the Morphine or other drugs that he makes me steal from the hospital. And then when they're done, they all sit around, get high & drunk. I'm not allowed to be down there when Josiah's lackeys are over.

"After all, they're always horny, and complaining about why they haven't gotten a girl yet. I ain't the type to share so....be thankful that I'm keeping you safe, wench." He told me one day.

'It was his own way of showing kindness...it sucked.'

I've never seen them, and I'm glad about that. They'd probably come & find me, and do god knows what. This is one thing that Im grateful for about Josiah. It could very well be one of few. I laid down on my bed, my body facing the door. I hugged my body, my white nightie delicately caressing my skin. I closed my eyes, and racked through my brain to try & find a comforting person that could talk to me....the first person to come to my mind, was Marco.

I smile, "You, huh? How curious. You were the first person to come..." I chuckle to myself. Imaginary Marco had a charming smile on his handsome face, which actually made me blush. "You know...if I ever do get out of this mess, I want to get to know you more, talk to you, and see what your life is like. Are your friends nice?" I asked. Imaginary Marco simply chuckled, but didn't say a word. "But for real, Marco.....I really really like you. You're the only one that has noticed my bruises, my wounds...but..." my hand touched my back, where all the worst of my scars lied, "I wonder what you'd think if you saw my back? I bet you'd think its disgusting...there's burn scars, scars from being scratched, scars from being stabbed...there's heaps, each one telling a story..all of them being horrid." I whispered.

All was silent, before Imaginary Marco reached down, and pet my head, his smile now heart warming. I let out a sob, and wiped away my tears. I smile weakly at him, "I wish I could tell you so much more..I wish I could get out of here, and just...carry my life on as a doctor worrying about their patients instead of worrying about what something will happen to me for when I get home. I just..." my voice cracked, "I just want a place to be safe..and really apart from Itami..you might just be all that I have left." I whimpered.

Bit by bit, Imaginary Marco disappeared in my mind, and I was left alone in the darkness again to cry. I hugged my knees, and cried quietly as the noises downstairs became more rowdy. "Somebody....save me." I whimpered
