Complicated {Sequel to What Am I?}

Thirty Six: Memories

"Amaya~!" Mom sang from outside my door. She knocked twice before entering my room. "Your father and I will going out tonight." She informed. 

"Okay." I mumbled as I wrote some things in my journal. It was Saturday night, and my parents were going out on another date. 

I overheard them talking earlier and my Dad didn't like the idea of going out while they knew there was something still wrong with me. 

But Mom somehow managed to convince him that everything was going to be alright. "Your brother's in charge. Be sure not to fight with him, okay?" Mom mentioned.

"I won't." I replied, emotionlessly. She kissed my head before leaving the house with Dad. I waited a few minutes after they left, then escaped through my bedroom window.

I made sure to lock my door in case Yan-kun or Ayano came to check on me. Of course, I didn't think the whole plan through. I'm only taking baby steps at the moment. 

When I got to Nemesis-kun's house, I stood on the street and stared at the windows, wondering what he could be doing in there. 

I instantly started getting flashback of the times I spent with my Senpai, even before we were a couple. If only I hadn't screwed it up...

"You're hopeless, you know that?"

"I know..."

Nemesis-kun held my hand as he led me to his house. I followed behind him while I gazed down at the ground. I was six years old and it was raining. 

I had snuck out of the house without Yan-kun noticing me so I could play at the playground, but I lost track of time and seemingly lost my way back. 

Thankfully, Nemesis-kun had found me and was leading me back to his house so I could get dried off. 

Once we got to his house, he sat me down on the couch in his living room, then disappeared to get a towel.

"You know how to dry yourself, right?" Nemesis-kun asked. 

"Um..." 

My mom usually dries me off when she's finished giving me a bath, so I have yet to learn how to dry myself.

"You really are hopeless." He sighed. Nemesis-kun draped the towel over my head and began to dry my hair. "Thank you..." I said, hesitantly. 

Nemesis-kun looked at me while pausing before returning to dry me off. "What were you doing out in the rain, anyway?" He asked. "I was playing." I answered in an emotionless tone. 

"Alone?"

"Yeah... Nobody didn't want to play with me, so I played by myself."

"That's pretty dangerous. You should always be with your mother or father when you go out."

"Why?"

"Because you could get kidnapped."

"What's kidnapped?"

"It means to be taken from your family by force."

"Oh... Is that a game?"

"Of course not."

"Oh..."

Nemesis-kun finished drying my hair, then sat beside me. "Do you wanna watch some TV?" He asked. "I guess so." I answered with a shrug.
