I didn't get to go to school yesterday. I was at home the whole time. For another obvious reason. It looks like today, Runa will not bother me. I entered the room and some of them made eyes at me. A lot of them didn't really care.
I went to my seat quietly. Liose looked worried as he saw bandages, bruises, and cuts. Despite that, he still smiled at me. And greeted me.
I was grateful that he didn't point it out. After the lesson, the bell rang. Its lunchtime. Liose grabbed my hand and ran as fast as he could. We reached the rooftop in a flash.
"Are you okay? What's with all this? Mind you, Halloween is still far off the calendar."
He said with a look of worry. I don't know if I would laugh with the mention of Halloween but I felt that he cares.
"I know that id*ot. I was just clumsy while doing house chores. That's me. Still, thank you."
I said with a smile. What an obvious excuse. Who in the f*cking world would get so many bruise and cuts like that? Clumsiness my *ss. But I know that he won't ask me further. I'm being mean. I know it. I just don't want to talk about it. I bet he already knew it. A lot of people know that my Uncle's patience is smaller than Th*mb*l*n*.
Liose looked concerned but he smiled. He decided to cheer himself up and avoided feeling sad, so he won't hurt my feelings. This guy can be a man sometimes.
What do you mean sometimes? I was always a man. Besides I didn't really know about it. I just know that she's not clumsy. She actually loves some sports and she would sometimes accompany me at sports centers. If anyone calles her a clumsy girl, I would just laugh. Well, going on.
It's the weekend. What am I doing on a weekend? Drawing, and writing, of course!
That was my plan. Until that guy dragged me in an arcade. We actually need to go to a neighboring city for that.
I was dressed in black pants, a black turtleneck, with a denim jacket, on my head was a black hat, and lastly a black sneakers. I also wore a black facemask. If you're asking, yes I love black. I decided to go early. But it looks like someone beat me to it.
Liose was standing there. He looks taller than he is. He wore a black turtleneck, like me, tsk...tsk...no originality. Aside from that he also wore a black pants and a long beige coat. Ugh...he looks so f*cking good. Everyone passing by was looking at him. I called him and he instantly beamed me with a smile. It ruined the image of an obsessive/possessive Mafia boss or CEO that I have of him. Id*ot.
Well, excuse me! I feel offended. I dressed myself so good. Can't you just ignore the details. A little smile won't hurt, right?
We played a lot at the arcade and went straight to a coffee shop. Time flies when you enjoy the moment. I won't deny that this was one of the best day that I had. It's been a while since I went out with someone. It's just memorable. I clung to a cat plushie that Liose gave me. He won it after the nth time of trying. He sucks at claw machines. So laughable.
I went home and kinda regretted going back. I forgot. Every weekend, Uncle Rac won't be home at morning but would always come back at noon. The angry face of Uncle Rac and Runa with her smirk greeted me at home. If you call this hell 'home', of course.
"Runa told me something. You refused to hang out with her but fooled around with a guy! You ungrateful brat. My daughter just wants time with you and you ignore her. You're too full of yourself!"
Uncle Rac shouted at me while whipping me with his belt. Runa did it again. But I made sure that she wouldn't know. Did some of her henchmen tell her? Uncle believed her every word. As if she would want to ask me to hang out! But that doesn't matter. I would just endure it again, like I always do. Once I graduate, I would get the h*ll out of this!
I told myself not to react and endure the pain. But Runa doesn't look satisfied. If you do this everytime, of course you'll get used to it. She grabbed the cat plushie that Liose gave me. I was shocked and didn't let her get it and I ended up pushing her. She smiled. Looks like she got the reaction she wanted.
"Dad! Look at her. I was just looking at it. She pushed me!"
She said while faking sobs. Looking? You were grabbing it! Uncle Rac snapped and hit me again, and again. I bled. A lot. But that didn't stop him. He continued until I fell down.
He finally stopped and strode off. But Runa was not. She crouched down and sneered.
"I told you to stay the f*ck off. Don't come near Liose. A filthy mongrel like you doesn't deserve someone like him."
She said. I f*cking know that you b*tch. She grabbed the plushie and started cutting it with a scissor from who knows where she got it.
"W-wait, stop Runa."
I pleaded her. Maybe because it's been a long time since someone gave me something and I want to cherish it. That didn't stop her and left when she's done.
I pushed myself to get up and went to my room. The attic. I told you didn't I. I'm a main character. I sewed the plushie back to normal. The only difference now was the thread all over it's body. I sighed and smiled.
That was shocking to know honestly. I know that she got abused but not to this extent. Was I too afraid back then? Why did I let this happen?
