first meeting

307 17 10
                                    

Today my parents finally agreed to spend some time with me.
All the time my parents were either working or spending time with friends, and I came last.

So finally I will get the chance to be with them and feel what family is like.

I walk downstairs to see my parents whispering to each other looking concerned.
"Mom, Dad, what's wrong?"
My Mom walks closer to me and puts her hand on my shoulder.
"Me and Dad forgot we were supposed to go to a very important event..I know we promised to-"

I dont want to hear anymore, so I just slap her hand from my shoulder.
"I dont care, I should have guessed this would happen, never should have believed you two.
Im sick of this!"
I turn around, walk out of the door and slam it behind me.
I can hear my mom screaming for me but i dont care, I just run.

I run, and I run, and run....I can't stop.. there's people everywhere.
And I feel them staring at me as I run and cry.

I need somewhere quite, somewhere where people wont stare.
I'm slowly slowing down due to lack of energy.
I spot this empty alley, and walk to it.

I sit on the floor, Theres a big wooden door that I lean on.
I breath deeply.
"Why? Why is this happening to me? Why cant I have a normal family why?! All the kids in school have nice families only mine sucks!"
I scream as tears roll down my face.

"Yeah tell me about it"
I suddenly hear a strange voice say from the other side of the door.
"Whaa! Oh my god you scared me" I distance myself from the door.

"Haha..I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you, You were the one who sat outside my room screaming."
The soft gentle voice says.
"I-I'm sorry..I didn't know this was someones room"
"It's okay..you can sit here I guess.."

I sit down and lean on the door again.
"So you understand me?"
"I do...I really do, what did your family do?"
"They dont love me, they love money more!"
"Wow...my dad is like that too.."
It's nice to know someone else can understand me.
"And your mom?"
"Dad said she left us to go on a trip, and that she wont come back"

I like talking to him.
He has a terrible family like me, maybe we can be friends..
"I'm mark..what's your name?"
Theres a moment of silence until he answers
"I'm chan"
Chan....hehe that's a cute name.
"How old are you chan?"
"I'm 10 years old"
"Ahhh..I'm 11 years old"

We start to talk about school and our favorite games, chanie sounds a litle weird when he was talking.
But chanie was a good listener.
We both don't realise that the sun is setting and It's been hours since I came in the morning.

"Ohh the sun is already setting.."
I hear a small gasp from the other side of the other side of the door.
"Leave. Now."
His soft voice now sounds nervous and serious.
"What? Why? Did I do something wrong?"
"No no mark you didn't. Its just....you can't be here at this time."
"O-okay...so..I can come again tomorrow?"

"You want to come back?"
"Yes! I like talking to you."
I can hear a small giggle from chanie
"Then yes you can come, but never come when the sun goes down."
Weird...why not? Should i ask chanie? Should I-
"Please hurry and go!"
I get up and fix my outfit.
"Okay...umm so see you tomorrow chanie!"
I start to walk away slowly and got hear his soft high pitch voice "bye mark"

I don't have anywhere else to go besides to my parents...
I wont tell them about meeting chanie, because Mom and Dad ruin everything!!

*one year after the first meeting*

I walk to chanie after school like I have been doing for the past year.
"Hey chanie you there?"
I ask as I nock on the door three times
"Ouch..ohh hey mark"
"I brought you some pills in case you felt bad again..seriously your dad needs to stop sending you to work at night...what do you do there anyways you never told me."
"I can't tell you...and thank you for the pills, slide them under the door"
I do as he asks.

"Will I ever get to see your face?"
He sighs "I dont know...I hope so...."
Suddenly a loud nock is heared from inside chanies room.
I can tell chanies breath stopped.
"Chann! How about a litle morning round eh? Let me in!"
Haechan stutters heavily while answering the person
"U-Uh..o-okay..just give me a minute! Mark leave now."
He whispers the last part to me.
"Who is that?"
"It doesnt matter just go!"
"This happens way too often, why dont you just give me a sign?"
"Ughh fine"
I can hear him tapping the door with the tip of his finger.
Two fast taps.
"It means save me...I mean, go!"
"What if I really need to save you?"
He sigh furstrated "then I'll tap four fast taps now please go-"

"Whats taking you so long?!"
Chan clears his throat and taps twice on the door and says "come in" also whispering "go"
I quickly get up and start running.

*present time, 10 years since the first meeting*

"Mom I'm going out"
"Where are you always going to?"
"You suddenly care?"
I say as I close the door after me and walk to my car, to drive to chan's location

I park my car nearby and start walking to the alley.
"Channiee!!"
"Shhhhhhhh you idiot my Dad is sleeping in the room next to mine you'll wake him up!"
"Ohhh sorry jeez...well I have good news!"
"What?"
"I brough you a phone!"

"You did what?!"
"Shhhhh! You idiot you Dad is sleeping!"
"Haha very funny mark, but seriously how did you get it and why?"
"I got a new phone, told my mom I'll have 2 but I wanted to give this to you...so we could talk more."
I pass the phone under the door.
"Wow...you mark you really are the best."
"Me? Nah I'm not the-"
I hear a notification from my buddy jeffrey.
'Hey mork, did you confess yet?'
I giggle.

"Ohh..what is this? Mark giggling at a text? Is there someone you like?"
"Yeah..."
"O-Ohh...I see..how are they? Pretty?"
"I cant really explain them....theyre amazing.."
"Pffftt, look at this boy thinking so highly of his crush."
It's you, you dumbass.

I dont know much about chan despite the fact I've his friend for 10 years.
But slowly I'm discovering more.
Maybe one day I will be able to see his face.

"Ohhh yeah mark I umm...my Dad is taking me on a trip somewhere pretty far for a while so umm I wont be around..but I'll write to you through the phone you gave me!"
"Awww I'll miss you chan!"
"Well I think you should go...I have to get ready"

Just then I recive a message from my mom
'Come home, the new maid is coming today..you should be here so we could have a proper greeting.'
Ohhhh yeah a new maid...wonder how they will be.
