"I wished you were never born!" Mother said ranting and furious about her sons grade. I can't believe my child is a disappointment of the Haiku family.

"You truly were never fit for this world that you don't deserve to live in." Father mumbled with dead eyes stuck on his face.

I lean my back against a department store wall in the rain and contemplate for hours on end. Coughing every once or so. With my legs crossed blinded by the hair in my eyes. I look up in the black light sky and just wondered how it turned out like it did.

"All I wanted was a simple and happy life."

But all it's been for the last 16 years is true suffering. Burn and cuts from my parents, slashes and scars that will never come out.

All I wanted to hear were the words that can give me hope and allow me to keep living.

"I need you."

Why am I still here. What's the point of me being here without a home to go to, someone to go to, a life to go to. I wished I was never here In the first place.

I here footsteps coming towards me. Soft splashes corrupting my hearing. An umbrella being opened and the smell of flowers.

A hand placed on my cheek, "hey! Are you doing alright." I open up my eyes with a monotone voice I ask "leave me alone, don't waste your time on someone like me who has no hope in living."

"Here take this you'll need it." She hands me a handkerchief and wraps around my open wound.

I look up with desperate eyes and I say. "W...why are you helping me, what is the thing your trying to get out of me. Just leave me alone please!"

She puts a happy smile on her face and offers me a strange deal, something that I will never forget.

"I'll make you a deal, I will only leave you alone if and only if you agree to be my boyfriend".

I open my eyes slowly with water dripping from my face from the rain and I "ask why would I do that for a complete stranger?"

"It's because I need you. There is always someone to come home too, live for, and be happy with. I can be that person and you can be that person for me."

The very words I hoped to be told.

She places an umbrella next to me and walks away. Giving me a can of hot tea as well. She turns back to give me hope.

"I can keep my promise, will you?"
