Safe With Me - 5
Today was the last day of hell week. After this, she would be a free woman again! And because today was a special day for her, she needed to party!
The awaited bell just rang and just when she was about to ran to the gate she saw him outside the classroom door. Again.
“Hey.”
“Hey!”
“How was the exams?”
“Piece of cake. Your notes were very helpful. Thank you, really.”
“Glad to hear that.”
“So you’re-“
Ring.
“Hey, can you give me a sec? Just have to take this. Daddy. You know…”
“Sure, sure. Go on. Just wanted to say…congratulations.”
“Oh thanks! Congratulations too…I guess.”
He left while she took that call.

The secretary was pleading for me to stay tonight. Like she thought I would believe her pathetic lame reason for an excuse. I knew Daddy was coming home, he had to.
“Ren, you’re not going anywhere tonight!”
“Yeah like I can take what he’s going to do! And to bring home with him that woman!”
Dinner? I’d rather not eat at all if it’s with them! With her! Never knew her name or saw her face, but I would never care. Never in my lifetime.
I had to get out of this hell I was already facing. The media was even first to know. They followed me from school and they’re no waiting outside…waiting what the diplomat brought for them. Hot and fresh news.

She thought she could spend this day with her Daddy. She actually waited for today, she wanted to try again. Try to open her heart to him but their return just ruined her day.
She found herself sitting in the corner of that new club downtown. She knew nobody there. But she didn’t care. She clutched that glass, still full of whatever hard liquor that was and stared at the bodies that were just swaying and dancing into the deafening music that filled the place.
Anywhere but home. Do I even have a home to begin with?
“Hey there pretty. Looks like you came alone? Mind if we join you?”
“…”

Rotten.
Those guys are maniacs!
I swear if they touched me they’re dead!
Are there no good guys left in this planet?
And this weather is not helping at all.
Urgh!
Now what?
Where do I go from here?
Somebody please come and take me home...

He ran as fast as he could. The rain was starting to pour but he had to go grab some hot noodles for tonight or else he would starve. His hands were looking for his room keys when he noticed a silhouette by his door. It was just a silhouette but he knew that it was definitely her.
He inched closer and smelled alcohol. Boy she was drunk tonight, just enough to knock her down at his doorstep. He reached for her just when she woke up and stared at him.
“Anou…I just…Uhm, Dad’s home and I" She tried to dust herself off.
"No, I…I really don’t know what I’m doing here. “ She gave up.
Her voice broke and she had to hold back those tears because she didn’t want him to see her in that state. Frail. Weak. Drunk and wasted.
“I’m sorry Yaotome. I just found myself running this way. I better get going.”
She hurriedly walked to the pathway when she felt him pull her back…to his arms. He hugged her slender, shivering body and understood that she was scared and lost. She, who was supposed to be taken aback by the happening, could not hide it anymore because she needed this. She poured her heart into that hug and cried like a baby. No inhibitions or whatsoever. Just letting it all out. And he, without knowing anything yet, just knew that he had to take care of her. His heart just twitched seeing her helpless like that.
“It’s okay. You’re safe with me.” He hushed in her ears and that was all it took for her to feel at ease.
She missed this. The feeling of safety. The presence of someone who cared.

A/N: Told you I was bad with heavy drama. Pfft. But I try, I really do... And then sorry again if it's kinda short. Was in a hurry to catch the bus that day~
