Whats Different?

Chapter 7 Lifeless until the end

(Aya's POV)

Everyone takes a step back. The Man stands up, still holding Akira's throat.

"I mean it, don't move." The man screams.

Kengo the weakling he is lets out a whimper. The man surprised turns around and let's go of Akira.

"You idiot!" whispers Kou.

Kou clamps his hand over Kengo's mouth. Akira falls to the ground and his head hits with a load thump.

(Akira's POV)

Oh man does it hurt. Why? I can't remember. Oh yeah that guy came in. Wait, isn't he my father? And that women, my mother. My stomach and throat hurts so badly. They kicked me didn't they? And the woman hit with her very, hard purse. I hope it they are going to kill me that they do it quickly. 'Cause I just want to be with brother.

Something rushes in my mouth, a warm metallic liquid. And my mouth fills up. The liquid just rushes out.

(Aya's POV)

I stare at Akira. He has never looked this helpless. Or hurt. I stare at the floor around him.

It puddle of blood around it.

The man he looks at Akira and turns back to the women. "He has gotten enough punishment now hasn't he? Well enough for this time." He says with a smile.

I look at the, in disbelief. They do this, this much. And says that it is just punishment. And just this time. So this must have happened before and these people know each other.

Those people leave him in the dust, on the floor. And they walk to the part of the house with the door. No one dares to make a move until they heard an engine turn on and the sound drifted off.

"Akira are you alright?" Kengo screams.

He runs to Akira and puts Akira's head on his lap. "Akira, please don't die."

Everyone stares at Akira his body looks so dead and lifeless. Then his hand stirred.

"Akira, are you okay? Can you hear me?" He says.

Akira opens his eyes and gives a glare that says Do I look dead you idiot?

Everyone sighed in relief. There friend was okay. No, there best friend was okay. Akira got up and dusted his pants off. Aya, in a small voice, asked "Are you really okay Akira?"

Everyone looked at Akira. And much to their surprise he didn't go after the white board. /he just looked at them and croaked out "Yes."

And then Akira passed out.

Even through he just passed out everyone was happy. They got their Akira back.

-

Once Akira woke up, things changed.

Aya was a little less tough.

Kengo wasn't as much of a cry baby.

Kou wasn't as perverted as usual.

Haruka wasn't as secretive.

Shuichi was the same.

And Akira,

He was speaking again,

and he opened up a little more to his friends.

-

And thus everything was okay for everyone.

Right?
