All I could think about was my original family and how we ended up this way.
So one day I stormed off, as I was walking away from my house I saw the police trying to capture someone.
I went towards them intrigued to see who it was and it was my actual mother, and without a second of hesitation I went up to her…
But it wasn''t the reunion I thought of. She grabbed me and at first I thought it was a hug, but as time passed it turned into a choke hold.
That''s when she held me in her arms saying let me go or this child gets it. That’s when I remembered what happened, my mom and my dad argued about drugs but I guess I was too young to understand… And that’s when they split up.
I couldn’t put my finger on it, why couldn’t I think of a way to make her stop taking drugs, why couldn’t I think of anything… And why did I not have enough strength to fight back…
As soon as she said those words tears started to go down her face as Sora looked at her with an understanding expression, after a pause that lasted about a second she continued.
And, I even put myself in that predicament, thanks to that no one could do anything, that''s what I thought until someone with a familiar voice shouted my name from behind the position we were both in and it was my step mom.
She hit my mom on her back and that made her let go of me. Then she told me to run, as a child of course I was just sitting there seeing a fight break out between my two moms a hook went into another hook and a sweep countered by my mom
I couldn’t move or even decide who I wanted to win until it was too late, my biological mother took out a knife and stabbed my step mom right through the heart.

As that happened my biological mother stood there as my stepmother fell down to the ground.
I stared at her bleeding out and then the officers told me to get down while they started to fire a bunch of tasers eventually forcing her to be immobilized.
After that fight all I could do was go near her… Near my real mom the one lying barely able to breath with a gaping wound through her heart…
“I saw her, and she did that to protect me, I looked at her and as though she was conjuring up her last bit of strength she said, :it’s okay you don’t have to worry anymore you’re safe now.”
With shock all I could do was stare at her and say don’t go, she stared back and said don’t worry I’ll see you sooner or later, and then that’s when my father arrived and said don’t worry everything is okay.
I trusted him and waited for her to come back, one day passed no words, 1 week passed no response from my dad although i questioned him, and then 3 weeks passed and I found myself in front of her coffin looking down at her, and now it’s been 1 year and I’m still petrified.
Even though I''m 16 I''ve basically lost my emotions towards anybody, I’ve also been watching anime to try and calm myself, to try and make me a better person, one without fears and even taking taekwondo to fight against the types of people that try to take those that are precious to me. But all I can think about are my weaknesses and nothing more.
That’s when Sora put both of his hands on her shoulders and said, I’ve already gone through the same, losing people precious to me… And even after a year I still can’t get them out of my head, how weak I was, or the fact that I left everyone behind.
But, someone once told me that real strength comes from what you do in the present to make your future better.
And from what I see, you are strong, you don’t have to carry that burden anymore, and your father has never held any resentment for what happened.
She looked at him and hugged him saying, “thank you, at least I know I’m not alone.” And with a smile Sora thought to himself, “I guess this is how I also reacted when Sukehito told me these similar words… I’m truly happy for her.
After 1 minute of her hugging Sora she took her hands off of him and said, “Sora, are you ready to go to Mr. Kobadera’s house.” And then Sora replied with a, “of course.”
