Just run. Keep running. Run until you can't run anymore. Away from everything and everyone. Don't stop, just keep going until everything goes away. Just don't think about anything for a moment. The rain left like pins and needles on my skin, but I didn't care I had to go somewhere safe. I knew by now I was soaked from the rain. I decided to stop for a moment to catch my breath. Listening to the rain was soothing knowing that it was the only thing I was able to listen to. For once I wasn't hearing voices telling me I was failing or painful screams or adults who were telling me how everything works. I was so tired of listening to everyone think they know of me, or what's right for me. When everyone doesn't know the first thing about me. I don't even know me. Neon! Stop thinking! Just stop! I felt my knees sink to the cold, wet concrete. I closed my eyes and covered my ears. I just wanted silence and to escape from my thoughts!
Why does everything have to be so painful?
Why is this world so cruel?
Why did they have to die?
Why was I here?
Why were all these things happening to me?
Why can't I go back in time and change everything?
Why do I make everyone around me suffer?
Why can't I be strong enough to hide my pain?
Why do heroes exist?
Why does magic even exist?
Why did I get them killed?
Why was my life spared?
Why did I have to be born?
Why can't I just die?
Why?
Why?
Why?
I opened my eyes to see not the rain but I was in a house. I wasn't in the same clothes from earlier. I was dry...there were blankets wrapped around me. It actually felt nice. For the first time in a while I felt like I wasn't running for my life.
"You're awake, that's good news." It was Kori. I'm so confused.
"Wh...ere...am...I?" I could barely recognize my voice. I started to get up from where I was laying.
"At my place. Whoa! Easy Neon you shouldn't be getting up. Lay back down." Kori said putting his hands on my shoulders, slightly pushing me back down.
"Kori darling is Neon awake?" A woman said as she was coming in the room.
"Yeah mom, she just woke up. I'm going to go tell the two knuckleheads in the other room that she is awake." Kori said leaving the room. I slowly sat up against the bed.
"Neon, I'm Kori's mother Ayame Kazumi. It's finally nice to meet you, but not under these circumstances. Neon, sweetie what is the last thing you remember?" She was so motherly and sweet. Kori is very lucky to have her as a mom.
"Umm...I was running in the rain."
"Kori said he found you passed out in the rain. You were cold to the bone, we were worried that you might have hypothermia. You gave my son quite a scare." Kori was worried about me, but he barely knows me.
"I'm sorry Mrs.Kazumi for scarring your son or even you." I didn't really know what to say.
"It's alright sweet girl you just didn't scare my son, you also scared your sister and Yuki." Kira...why do I keep doing this to her. Did she just call me sweet girl? Dad...
I was trying to hold back any tears no adult had treated me with such love and care since their deaths.
"Neon, did I say something wrong? I'm terribly sorry if I did." She was so kind just like them.
