Number One Is Mine

Extra : Seen Through My Lies

Lucas Pov

The heavy rain didn't stop me from dashing ahead in full speed. I was worried about my father and the text i got from my mom add up my worry.

I wait outside the big gate to open after i ring the doorbell. After the gate open and the maid guide me inside while sheltering me from the heavy rain with another umbrella. She gives me a towels to wipes myself up and i take it nonchalantly.

"Your father inside the guest room..sleeping.."

This beautiful modern women is my mom. My parents divorce when i was five and my mom married her coworkers after two years separating with my dad that miserably still in love with her.

"Sorry for the inconvenience that my father give you..."

I bows down apologetically and sneeze a bit being exposed too long outside the heavy rain.

"It's fine Lucas...get inside and change your wet clothes..you can stay here for the night.."

"But..!"

I want to reject her invention but suddenly the entrance door fling open and my mom husband walks in with a bright smile.

"I'm back honey!"

My mom smile happily and she looks very happy with her new husband.

"I think it best for me and my dad to leave.."

My mom want to say something but she just clutch her arms and looking down bitterly.

"Achhooo!! Brrrr...that's cold..come on Lucas..we need some hot bath before we got sick.."

He push my back and lead me to the bathroom. We take a nice hot bath together and have a dinner that my mother cooked.

"Here eat more! You like tempura prawns right?"

He puts the prawn on my plate and i look at my mom direction. She was smiling dearly at me. She still remember what i like to eat.

"Thank you..mom.."

I said it slowly and she chocked on her sob. Her husband soothe her and i hold in my own tears.

I never blame her for leaving us..my father is the one who is cheating with her and don't admit it. I know very well that my father love my mother deeply but he can't fight the temptation from the other woman that flirting with him. At first i want to follow my mother but looking back at my miserable father faces i decided to stay by his side.
"Hey dad.."

I climb in my father bed and he cuddled me closed to him..treating me like 5 years old kid.

"Hey Lull.."

He still half asleep and i curled in his strong arm. He was bigger than me since he has muscular body but his heart is fragile like a thin glass.

"Sorry..but i promise this is the last time.."

I nods by his vows and he pats my back gently while humming my favorite lullaby.

The next morning we excuse ourselves and slowly my father and i walk back home. He seem a bit dejected but he still wish my mom happiness.

"Lull..we need to hurry..you have school today right?"

"It's fine dad..i skipped today..let's just go back home.."

He ruffle my hairs and we buy breakfast before go back home. I caught a cold and slept in until tomorrow.

"Cough! Cough!..dad..?"

My throat is burning and my voice turns raspy since its dried. I wobbly climb off from my bed and look for my dad.

"Cough! Cough! Dad?.."

I look through his bedroom and the shop downstairs but he nowhere to be found. I call his cell but he left it on the counter. I put on my jacket and call my mom cell.

"Mom? Is dad there?"

"No..Why? Did something happen? You sound sick Lucas.."

"Cough ! Cough! ..i'm fine...just a little cold..if he goes there call me okay.."

I cut off the conversation and look up the dark sky. It's gonna rain again and my dad still out there missing.

"Dammit!!"

I struggle to walks as i look around the neighborhood for my dad. He never leave the house unnoticed.

"DAD!! Cough! Cough!"

I crouched down since my head been pounding painfully. The rain start to pour and i curse while searching for a shelter from the sudden heavy rain. My vision become blurry and i don't remember what happened after that. When i awake..my first view is the white walls and the annoying beeping sound near my head. I groan in pain as my head start to throbs.

"Lay down Lucas..you have a high fever last night.."

My mom passed me a cup of water and i drink it slowly.

"Dad..?"

My mom faces turns sad and she hugs me tightly. I was too tired so i closed my eyes and hope that my dad will be fine.

.............................................................

I recover from my cold and was ready to go back home. My mom insists me to stay with her but i declined saying that i need to go back to dad house. As i walk pass the street i humming the song that Subaru sing when i first met him. I chuckle lightly remembering back his ruthless acted towards me. He's cute when his mad.

My pace halt as my view frozen to our shop and house been shut down by the police yellow tape. I look in horror and dash forward as the police officer stop me while holding me down. My tears spilled as i watch my dad limp body that was covered with a black plastic and they carried him away on the stretcher.

"Dad..no..this a lie...my dad is still alive!!"

I yelled frustratingly and struggle away from the officer but he immediately catch me and i watch with teary eyes as they take my dad corpse away with the police car. The police officer tells about what happened to my dad. He was robbed yesterday and before the robber leave they stabbed my dad to silence him. His body was found today by the neighbors. My head drops down on the floor and i look up when i saw my mom heels and her husband dress shoes.

"Lucas..."

My mom hugs me while crying and i stare straight blankly with dried eyes. I was exhausted from crying and yelling. My heart clench tightly when i realize that whatever i do..my dad will never come back to me.

"Lucas..come stay with us.."

My mom husband rubs my back i closed my eyes while nodding slowly to answer him.

After a few week pass and i haven't seen Subaru for awhile. Still i come to practice everyday hoping that he will come. But i was disappointed with his absence.

Maybe i should go to his school?
Yeah I'll do that..

What do i felt about Subaru? Is it hate or love? I don't understand it myself but what i feeling right now is..i want to see his faces badly..that's all..

He's the only one that understand me.. the only one that can see through my lies..maybe that is why i want to see him badly...to tell me what to do..and comfort me with his strong beautiful voice..
