This Is Home (SakuAtsu)

Part 2

   "You're so fucking dirty"

   My mother said as she throws me outside, there was mud everywhere while the rain pours heavily. My face hit the ground resulting the dirty state it was in.

   Feeling the pain from my bruises and the cold from the rain, I tried standing up. But before I can even manage to do so, she pulled my hair and started yelling. "Who allowed you to get up?! You filth! Filthy like your father!" The next thing I knew she was dragging me back inside with a lock of my hair still on her hand. I was struggling so hard because of the pain I was feeling, when she threw me to the ground.

   "You're really trying to piss me off huh? Putting up a fight like that..." she said as she massaged both her hands and I knew that another beating was gonna occur.

   She laughed and raised her hand "P-please mom n-no more!"

   "STOP!!!" I yelled out jumping from my bed as my hands were shaking so much that I wanted to scream out more. I unconsciously put my hands around my throat as I feel like something was choking me. Yuriko, which was used to this, barged into my room holding a glass of water and handing it to me.

   "Nii-san...." I took the glass from her and tried not to spill it because of my trembling hand and began to gulp it down. It hurts.

   My nightmares always cause tremors but when it's around winter I become this unstable.

When will this end?

   I took some time to catch my breath as my shaking hands gave the glass back to Yuriko who had a worried expression plastered on her face. I scowled at her, I knew she wanted to ask questions but I didn't want any of that so she just remained silent. I thanked her and gestured her to get out of my room. She walked to the door as I see her glance my way at the corner of my eyes.

   The moment the door shut I stood up and frantically looked for my towel and when I found it I ran to the bathroom, ripped my clothes off, turned on the shower and scrubbed myself with soap until my skin turned pink from the furious scrubbing. It was becoming painful but no amount of pain from the past could compare to this. I stopped when I finally realized that I was panicking again.

   I let my arms fall on the side of my body as I watch the running water drown down the soap, I glanced at the nearby mirror and saw how much of a wreck I am "So fucking dirty" I say as I decided to finish this up quickly.

   I dry my hair with a towel and then I saw the invitation to the party at the corner of my eye.

It's Saturday now huh?

Tomorrow's the start of the party, should I come?

   I thought to myself as I opened the fancy sealed envelope. There I saw a copy of our old class picture. I transferred to that school when I was a third year so I didn't really remember them much.

I look so ugly, wtf is this?

   I looked at the picture until my eyes fell on a familiar group of faces. It was the famous group of friends in our school which everyone in that group was a part of the volleyball club. Not only were they famous for their looks, but their skills in volleyball too.

   My eyes fall on small guy with orange hair.

Who was this again? Hinata Shoyo?

   Ah yes, Hinata. Despite his small frame his jump and skills in volleyball was exceptionally amazing, though I heard that when he was a freshman he sucked at volleyball.

   My eyes continue their search as they land on a scowling face with blue eyes.

This is... Kageyama Tobio right...?
