Saturday, August 21st, 2015

10:37pmI can't believe it's over. The summer ends tomorrow and schoolstarts the next day. The summer went by too fast! I managed to create fun

memories with Ray, Axell, and Nicole, went on the most romantic dates with myamazing boyfriend Eric, and spent the last handful of days just relaxing by

the pool in the backyard. It felt like eternities have passed since the lastday of middle school and the start of summer, but yet, the wondrous summer

hours must come to an end to start a whole new year. Freshman year.Freshman Friday. Great.

Monday, August 23rd, 2015

07:30amUgh! I exclaim as I reach for my phone to turn off my alarm,

only it wasn't my alarm, just a lame girl I call my best friend. Nicole, mygreatest friend since 1st grade, messaged me saying that school was closed

today due to the excessive rainfall. You must be kidding me! I reply to her.No! Really! Look outside! She was right. The road outside my house was

flooded! I swear I could have seen a little critter try to swim in it! Ok soI'm exaggerating a bit, but I answered her wishing to return to sleep, and my

wish was granted.Oh, I forgot to mention. I'm Kiddo, Kidomi Rose, but my friends

just call me Kiddo. I'm a new Freshman student at Dakamotto Academy, here in

Japan. My friends, Ray Killex, a Junior now at Dakamotto who's my right nextdoor neighbor, Axell Ketter, a Junior like Ray at Dakamotto as well as my

left next door neighbor, Nicole-Kay Angel, or better known at Nicole, is mygreatest girl friend ever since elementary school, she's a Freshman like me

at the Academy and she also lives on the other side of the road, Arrow'sRoad, which her house is right across from me, and last but not least, Eric

Miles, the hottest, sweetest, most adorable guy in my whole system of

friends, in the whole cul-de-sac (our little Arrow's Road neighborhood thathas no meaning) the whole Academy, and possibly the whole world, but what's

the best about having him as a friend.... He's not just a friend, he's myboyfriend!


2/28

10:54amAfter my quick little nap, and once the rain stopped falling, I

read the most recent text message, which was Ray. Kiddo! Come over to myplace, and invite Eric, Nicole and Axell! Ray cheerfully messaged me as Iwas just about to head over to his place anyways for our daily battle of thesexes. On my way! I reply back, and then ask everyone to meet at Ray's

house. Since school's basically going to be out for the day, we all head toRay's and relax the day away, well not really. With my friends, relaxing is a

once in a life time chance, but it's worth hanging with them, after all, Ican't live without them!

12:19pmRock, Paper, Scissors..... HA! I win!One of the guys shouts out.

In your face Axell! Go get me a coke from the fridge downstairs. Ray demands as he clearly acts somewhat childish.

Ray... Could we PLEASE do something? I requested as Axell wasabout to walk out the bedroom door. I begged him to stay; he nodded and

leaned against the door's opening.Sorry 'sis', there's nothing we can do. Power's off and it's

pouring rain. He shrugged at me. I turn to Eric and whisper to him. I

smile at Eric, softly kiss his cheek, then turn to rest of the group andpress my hands together.

I know what we should do! The lights come back on but I quicklygot up from Ray's bed, since we were all on his gigantic, fluffy mattress,

turned the lights off then exclaimedTRUTH OR DARE!

Truth or Dare wasn't something we did on a daily basis, but if it

was raining and we were all in the same house together, this was our only wayof entertainment, but of course, since it was my idea, I had to go first.

Truth or dare Kiddo? Axell joins us once again and sits down

next to Nicole, who is blushing softly.Umm... I think for a second, Ok Kiddo. Remember, Ray and Nicole

are the best at making dares, while on the other hand, Axell and Eric are

good about making up truths. Think Kiddo, choose wisely!

I think... I'm going to go with.... I cross my fingers andinhale, Dare. I exhale my answer.

Nicole's mouth drops as Ray stares at me, smiling mischievously atme.

Since that's your choice, I dare you... Ray chuckles a bit thencontinues, I dare you to go into that closet, He points to his humongous

closet that's bigger than my bed and smiles once more And make out with....He thinks again, looking from Eric to Axell, and vice versa. Make out with

Axe.... No, Eric! We have yet to see you two even kiss on the lips!Dear god, please tell me they won't video tape it!

Also, we need a picture of the... Nicole punches Ray in the arm

Fine, just go in there and make things happen. I let out a sigh of reliefthen realize that it'll be like 7 minutes in heaven. I grab Eric's left hand

as I step off the bed.You don't have to do this, Kidomi. He quietly says.I definitely don't back down from Ray's dares, and no way am I

starting to now! Eric just shook his head and followed me to the closetwhere all we hear is a BANGfrom the door closing behind us and someone yell

out You got 5 minutes! I hope that's enough.then we hear a skin-hit-skinnoise as well as Don't listen to Ray, you got 10 minutes. 10 minutes wasn't

enough.


3/28

12:25pm7 more minutes, you two!Nicole screams to us. They push us into

the closet at 12:22 and we both sit on opposite sides of the closet,

occasionally looking up at each other. We must do this! We must do this! Ithink to myself.

Kidomi... Eric whispers to me, since he's the only one out of

the 4 of them to even call me Kidomi. I look up to find that he wasn't wherehe was sitting.

E-Eric? I look all around me, only to find no one. Next thing Iknew he was standing in front of me, looking down at me. I blink softly and

blush deeply, E-Eric.. Why are you... I get cut off from a kiss that heplants on my lips.

I've been waiting a long time for this, Kidomi Rose. His facelights up in red as he softly lifts me up off my feet and into his arms. Hethen gently presses me up against the wall and kisses my lips, only it wasn't

a kiss, it was him wanting access to my mouth and tongue, but I refused him,only to push him away and do the same to him, this time, I won.

2 more minutes!Ray cried out to us.

Give us 5 more minutes please! I requested and he gave usexactly 5 more minutes. He gets his wish, I get mine! I think to myself aswe continued to lock lips and tongues, press against each other softly and

hold each other close together. He pulls away after 2 minutes or so, only tosay I love you.and hold me closer to his chest, making me listen to his

heart beat.Your heart, it's so fast. I point out,

I know, he replies Cause you're making my heart speed up, fromall the happiness you've brought to me over the last year or so. My facegoes red as I look up to him,

Don't leave me. I cried to him; he nodded and kissed my foreheadright as the closet door flew open and Nicole came in running towards me

Time's up!! All I heard was conversation!! Please tell me youguys didn't do.... She held up her hands, demonstrating what she meant by

doing the whole finger through the loop thing. I grabbed her hands andstarted laughing

NO Nicole! We didn't do anything like that! Eric chuckled as Ray

and Axell crowded around him once he walked out of the closet.

12:39pmI pressed a finger to Nicole's mouth, hoping she would shut up,

since she wouldn't stop asking about what we did. I walked out of the closet,

ran up behind Eric, spun him around, pulled his face towards me and lockedlips with him again, in front of the rest of the crew. I could tell that

Nicole had her mouth wide open as she smiled, Axell was shaking his head andsmiling as well, while Ray was chuckling behind my back and clapping

silently. From then on, none of them wanted to play Truth or Dare, just by

how Eric and I were inseparable and the day went on like any other, boring asalways.

Tuesday, August 24th, 2015

10:00amYesterday ended with a long lovely conversation between me and

Eric through texting, but today, it's school time. Dakamotto Academy starts

at 9:00am and ends at 6:30pm, with an hour lunch break/social time. Sounds


4/28

reasonable and doable, right? Think again. Each class, which we have 4 ofthem, are about 2 hours long with no talking, no entertainment whatsoever,

unless you get all the good teachers, which they're only a handful at theAcademy, which all of us, the 5 neighbors, have, though, Ray and Axell have

them at different times than we did, since they're 2 grades a head of us.

10:13amNicole-Kay Angel? The teacher yells softly.Here! Nicole raises her hand, being over excited.

Eric Miles? Mr. Kon, who teaches Social Studies, continues withthe attendance.

Here. Eric answers.Kiddo Ro... Oh Kidomi Rose? Mr. Kon stuttered as I just raise my

hand in the air, not even speaking, not even acknowledging his stutter.I know your brother, he was my favorite student. What was his

name again?

Aire Rose. I answer back as Mr. Kon smiles at me, even though Idon't notice; he nods and continues.

Did I skip anyone? Oh wait, I did. Isabell Rome?No oneanswers Rome? Again, no one raises their voice. Hmm, I guess she's now

abse... Before he could finish, Isabell Rome bursts through the door, with acounselor's note in her left hand and her books in the other.

I'm here! Sorry I'm late! She embarrasses herself as she sat

right next to me and covered her wrists and her face with her jacket. I'm so

sorry you have to sit next to the freak chick,a girl leans over to tell me.

I know... I reply with a sigh of annoyance.

Isabell Natasha Rome. The most hated girl at our school. The most

emotional, the worst liar, the worst girl to even speak to. She hides hersadness in a smile that Nicole, Eric and I had fallen for, last year. She

feeds off the comfort she doesn't deserve. She hides her wrists from viewand if anyone sees and asks about them, she just says My 'gerbil' attacked

me, or some dumb excuse and he or she who asked, continues along. She wears

a fake cover that is ice thin and only those who know or who had known her,

can see right through it. Also, her boyfriend, Jack Bayou, a Sophomore atthe rival Academy, Demmi Academy, hates our guts, and when I mean our, I

mean, Nicole's, Eric's, Ray's, Axell's and my guts. Yeah, not fun. But how

do I know ALL of this? It's a little trick I like to callpretending. Ipretended to like her, pretended to comfort her when she 'needed' it, and soon and so forth. Bottom line, she's someone that everyone hates, and the

only people who like her, are those who don't realize she's using them forher own games.

Help me, Eric!! I yell/whisper to him, pretending to hold a 'gun'to my head, acting like I want to kill myself.

Stop that! That really worries me! And besides, I can't doanything to help you. He answers back right before Mr. Kon turned towards

us; I just smile at him. Nodding back to me, he turns back to the chalkboardand finishes writing some stupid social studies stuff in cursive.

Eric! I beg as I look over at Isabell and soon after, have the

urge to puke. Eric looks at me, mouthing Deal with itto me and he returnsto writing on his neatly colored light blue lined paper. I pout silently and

do the same as him.

12:30pmLunch time, baby!I hear Nicole and Axell say at the same time,

since all grades go to lunch at the same time. Eric walks next to me,


5/28

holding my hand and blushing softly as we walk together down to the lunchroom. Ray walks behind me, watching Eric carefully, even though he knows

Eric won't do anything bad to me.Hey 'sis' want me to get you something? Ray offers, being a

complete gentleman to me.No thank you, Ray. I don't eat this type of food. I shrug and

hold up my own, homemade lunch, well Eric made it for me, as a small thanksfor Monday. Ray looks at Eric and chuckles

Alright, be careful, you two. Go claim that table over there in

the sun. It's our table. Each neighborhood here has a specific table, andhow lucky are we, we get a good one. I nod as I drag Eric behind me and

towards the table, only to notice that Isabell was sitting there.

Um excuse me Bell, that's our table. I speak softly withannoyance in my voice.

Oh sorry, I didn't know... She sorrowfully looks to me and thenEric, gazing at him then blushing. I catch the glance and stop it byexplaining that it actually has our last names on it.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I didn't notice. Here. She gets up,grabbing all her stuff then when she was about to walk away, she drops all of

it in front of Eric, the first sign in dragging someone to her.Let me help you. Eric politely says. I tug on his shirt, urging

him to stand up but he showed aggravation in his eyes as he stared at me.Oh, thank you. Thank you She thanked. I growled under my

breath and walked around her, sitting in my chosen spot, waiting for Eric to

quit flirting with her. Eric nodded and placed his palms on my bareshoulders, since my shirt was a strapless one;

Kidomi... He slowly wraps his arms around my neck, Be nice toher. Please, for me? Never. I think but I nod and kiss him softly.

12:32pmThe rest of the gang show up with their food a few minutes after

we kicked Bell from our table. Nicole with only fries, yet she's skinny as apiece of paper; Ray with 3 burgers and a coke; Axell with only a large apple

and a stupid little carton of milk.What? I'm not very hungry. Axell shrugs and bites into the

apple. I pull out a Venom energy drink from my lunch bag(it has cute little

skele-teddybears on it) as well as a little bag of carrots. Eric looks at meand chuckles, looking at my little lunch;

Umm, sweetie, really? This is what you're going to eat today?We have 3 more periods to go, which is 6 more hours, I don't think you can

last that long on just an energy drink and... Carrots? Oh silly boy, I have

more food.I shrug and say to myself as I drink the Fruit Punch flavoredVenom slowly and nibble on a carrot.

Hey look, it's Jack. He's not allowed here! Axell points outas the rest of us eat, except Eric(he doesn't eat school food, at all, only

my food).

He is only at lunch, and look, he's eating Bell's face off.Nicole grosses us out by using that term to define making out.

Oh be quiet, Nicole and eat that mountain of fries. Ray saysunder his breath to avoid getting slapped by Nicole, but instead of her doing

the honors, I did.Shut it, Ray! I growl as I turn their attention back to their

food.

I occasionally looked over at the two outcasts making out in the

corner of the lunch room; it was disgusting. It was worse than Ray scars onhis hands from fighting with his Junior friends. But just having to see Bell


6/28

and Jack do that, in front of others, it's just horrifying! Eric would lookover at me, drag my glance back towards him and the others and say Quitlooking over there., and leave that girl alone,but knowing me, I can't help

myself.

02:34pm2-3-4 pm, make a wish!My lame English/Foreign Language teacher

cheers out, even though it's the wrong set of numbers to make a 'wish'(it'ssupposed to be 12:34). Ms. Ren is a lame 25 year old woman, yet a fun teacher

to have. She makes things lame but easy, for example, the whole 2:34 thing,she does that cause that's usually when we have a pop quiz, yet we get to use

our notes. She apparently says it every Tuesday, to check if we've beenpaying attention throughout the week; half the time, we would forget over the

weekend; that's what Ray told me. But it's not our fault, we forget somestuff when we're having fun. At least she gives us 'some' slack cause that'show lame she is. Ok, maybe it's not but you know what I mean.

04:56pmScience is SOOO boring! Eric and Nicole are in Ms. Ren's class

right now and Ray and Axell aren't even the same class, OR grade as me, atthe moment that is and in Science, I have to suffer through lecture after

lecture, by myself, from the weirdest, most non-social teacher, Mr. Toshino,with Bell sitting next to me... Again. Why me!? I almost bang my head on the

desk right when Mr. Toshino calls on meKidomi... Answer this question. He points to the board where it

talks about atoms and some other gibberish I couldn't read.Um, sir, I can't read that. I squinted, forgetting I needed my

glasses for some of my classes, Oh wait, the answer is electrons. He nods

and calls on the next student. Man, I thought I was screwed there. I sayunder my breath, right as Bell looked up

You say something? She asked, looking at me with soul-piercingeyes. No loser,I thought but I remembered that I had to be 'nice' to her,

No, Bell. I hold myself back from insulting her.Oh, alright. She looks away right as I clench my hand into a

fist and continue to get bored to death by Mr. Toshino.

06:18pmLast period of the day, and the most exciting. It's Math, our

teacher is Madame Rain, and I share it with everyone! Nicole, Ray, Axell andEric are all in the class and all in the general area around me. What sucks

is that poor Axell has to sit next to Bell. And yet, he has a dramaticsecret that only I know. Fortunately for Bell, Axell has the tiniest of

crushes on her. She doesn't know, and only I know out of my little system offriends. Axell gets really embarrassing when he's near her, thankfully for

me, I sit right behind him and I calm him down.

During the whole period, Madame Rain smiled the entire time.She's the total stereotypical sexy, young, blond, school 'girl'. About theage of 20, bleach blond hair, a great figure, a really pretty face and legs

that seem longer due to the really high, high-heels. She wore a reallyshort, low-cut pink dress today and all the guys stared at her the whole

time, except Eric, Ray and Axell... Ok, maybe just Eric, only because he wasstaring at me the whole time. Can't you just sense the love?

06:31pmFinally, school's over and Ray takes us all home, since he's the

only one with a license. Actually, Axell almost got his, except he failed to


7/28

wake up early for the driving test a couple days ago; he can't take it untila month has past. But anyways, driving home is always the worst. Ray drives

insanely fast and I'm always in the back, clenching to Eric for dear life; Ialways think I'm going to die, even though that's not true.

06:45pmMom, we're home. I cry out, knowing that she's not home, but it's

a force of habit.Just put your stuff into my room, remember, 3rd floor and directly

to the right. Everyone nods and does what I say, while I just chuck my bagonto the couch and follow them up the stairs. When I reach the 3rd floor, I

notice Eric sitting down against the wall, waiting for me. You didn't have

to do that.I whisper flirtatiously.

I know, but I don't want you to feel alone. He replies to me ashe stands up, picks me up and carries me into my bedroom only to place meonto the bed and stand over top of me. My face turns a rose pink color as I

look into Eric's beautiful eyes then around the room.E-Eric, where is everyone? I asked, with a confused look on my

face.Oh Kidomi, don't worry 'bout them, I told them to hang out in the

guest room. I told them I needed some time along with you. Don't rape me!Don't break up with me! Don't hurt me!, were the only things going through my

mind at this moment, but once Eric said those 3 magic words, everything

cleared from my head but him. He expressed his love for me by softly kissingmy neck.

E-Eric... Please don't.... I tried to explain but he shushed meand nodded that he won't do anything bad to me.

Trust me Kidomi, I won't hurt you. Trust me. I nodded, placingmy hands onto his soft, warm face and pulling him closer to me as I kissedhis lips and held the kiss.

Ki-Kidomi... He stuttered. I stopped and took a deep breath.Yes? I wondered. Right when he was about to say I love youthe

crew walks in, looks at us and Nicole backs away slowly, Axell takes apicture, and Ray just claps and says That's my boy!, to Eric.

Both of us blush a fiery red as we quickly made it look PG-13

rated, instead of R rated.

You saw NOTHING! And give me that camera! I yell and steal thecamera from Axell, deleting the photo.

No fun Kiddo! He complains.

I'm not fun sometimes... Deal with it! I answer back.

After that little mishap, we all just try to relax in our ownlittle way, Ray was on the floor, reading a Play Boy magazine he stole from

his dad, Axell was reading a normal book, sitting next to Ray, Nicole wastexting and also sitting next to Ray, and Eric and I, we were fast asleep onthe bed, cuddled together, off in dreamland.

Wednesday, August 24th, 2015

8:56amWhere's Ray?I think to myself.

I'm going to be late! Well all of us are going to be late! Icontinue to look at the clock on the kitchen wall and tap my foot slightly,

being inpatient as always. A truck pulls up to my driveway, backs up andhonks it really loud and really obnoxious horn.


8/28

Yo, Kiddo! School's out on Wednesdays! Get in the car, I'lltake you shopping! A familiar voice shouts out. Ray... I shake my head as

I drop my bag on the table, pick up my purse and head out the garage door toRay.

The houses on Arrow's Road. They... Are... HUGE! No joke! Ourparents are rich, I mean like money falling out of their... Dare I say it...

Asses. There, I said it! Anyways, all our parents are bloody, stinkin'rich! And what's funny is that we seem like normal high schoolers, right?

Well you're correct. Our parents purposely put us in an average schoolbecause: 1) they hate wasting money on an education that's the same in eachschool, just one costs more than the other, and 2) they don't want us to

become these stuck-up brats that everyone hates. What I'm trying to say is,yes, I'm rich but the funny part is, I wear normal, clearance-rack clothes,

go to an average, cheap school with horrible cheap lunches(better that thanexpensive fancy lunches) and when I get a license, I'll be driving a car,

just like Axell's, a small Automatic Ford Focus Z3(I think) or like a trucklike Ray's, a Manual Toyota... Something, I don't really remember, well I

don't really ask but you get the point of what I'm trying to say.

I open the door to Ray's truck and hop in. He looks at me with a

bright smile on his face.You're not taking me shopping, are you? I annoyingly ask,

knowing that if school's off, he tries to take me off-roading, but usually Idon't let him, but since I'm in his truck already, I might as well.

Nope! You're coming with me to the lake! My eyes widen as Inever would have guessed he would say that. Oh crap. I say under my breath.

Don't worry, we're going swimming. He smiles brightly again as

he pulls out of Arrow's Road and turns left onto Sparrow's Lane. But I don'thave a swim suit. I say with no hesitation.

Bought you a new one, you're a large right? He jokes around, asI take it to being offensive.

RAY! I'm not fat! I yell, showing my stomach to him as he stopsat a red light. He shakes his head, places a palm on hair and laughs.

Kiddo, relax, I'm only messing with you! He explains that he gota medium sized dark blue bikini set and reaches into the back seat when wearrives at the lake, Lake Dakamotto, this explains why our school is named

Dakamotto, after the lake that's like a bit aways from the school grounds,but who really cares?

11:30amHey, isn't that Dakamotto? I point out. Ray grabs my hand and

smiles,Yes, 'sis' now go and change He shows me to the 'bathrooms'

right off of Lake Dakamotto and shoves me in.That was such a gentleman acting right there. I shout, giggling

and changing quickly, wrapping the towel around my waist that Ray had shoved

in my hands before he pushed me into the 'bathroom'. I run out and look bothleft and right. Ray? Where are you? I shout out.

Over here! He waves from the shore line and waits for me to runtowards him.

Ray, is it just going to be you and me? I ask quietly. He justsmiles brightly, rips away the towel and shoves me into the water only tohave Eric catch me before I do a head dive into the lake. I freak out and

just look at Eric like he was a total stranger.Hello, love. He blushes and embraces me tight. You didn't

think I would let you go out on a trip that involves you being practicallynaked with Ray, did you? Ray shrugs and grabs Eric by the neck and began to


9/28

wrestle him in the sand. I watch from the 'guidelines' and clap and cheerfor each guy. Now, if only it was just me and Eric here; I would be so

perfect! I say to myself as I stand up, walk into the water, sit down andlet the waves bash into my arms and stomach.

The boys continued to wrestle until they see me relaxing in thecool water. They look at each other, and begin to creep up behind me.

Ray, be a gentleman and Eric, please don't I say as I close myeyes and try to get the sun to darken my skin, but I hear no response.

Ok, seriously you guys! I shout; still no response. I sigh,open my eyes and see Eric right in front of me, smiling. You're so weirdsometimes, you know that?I point out the obvious as I stood up and watched

him stand up as well.I got Ray to give us some free time. He smirked. My eyes widen

as I jump into his arms, gracefully kiss his lips and jump out of his arms.He just stood there for a second then pounced on me and softly laid me down

on the sand. It's so cold. I shiver and say right as Eric kissed my foreheadthen my lips. I push him away politely and look around curiously.

Where's Ray? I look around once again and slowly stood up, butEric carefully grabbed my hips and pressed his head to my stomach. I softlysmile and kiss his soft, smooth hair on his head. What's wrong? I ask,

He'll be back, don't worry. Eric says so quietly I had to sitback down to hear him speak. I softly smile and continue to look around;

Eric grabbed my face and pressed my right cheek to his chest.E-Eric? I questioned,

Just listen closely. I listen cautiously and blink curiously.It's so slow. I exclaim. He nods, gently laying me back onto

the sand and just stares into my eyes, hearing a slight scream and yelling in

the distance, though it sounded pretty close. What's wrong? I wanted to askagain but didn't.

Wait here. He growled under his breath and stood up.

12:08amEric wasn't the type to just leave me alone in the position I was

in but when he did, there was some disturbance he sensed, which I have yet tounderstand how he knew that there's something wrong. Help me! Please, help

me! is all I hear besides Eric's constant loud mumbling that he does

occasionally. The voice wasn't very familiar but I still knew it. B-Bell?I cry out. Eric turns around and runs towards me, then quickly grabs me andthrows me onto his back, carrying me all the way back to Ray's truck, where

he was. Eric shoves me in the truck and begs me to wait there. I held on tohim and demand to know what's going on, but he didn't quite know himself; all

he said and wanted to do was keep me safe.

I stay in the truck while Eric and Ray begin arguing and running

towards the lake where the most magical moment was ruined. I sigh sadly andjust sit there, when all of a sudden, Bell bangs on the truck door. I open

the door to let her in and she rushes in like something was after her, toattack her. She wheezes loudly but I try to calm her down.

What's wrong? I politely ask, not really caring but I might as

well ask anyways. She regains her normal breathing pattern and begins tospeak.

He raped me! She starts to cry as she speaks. My eyes widen asI move closer to her and beg to know more,

Who did? I ask anyways even though I could clearly guess who.J-Jack! Tears that rolled down her face caused her voice to

break.


10/28

How come? I continue to ask.We were just on the beach, like you and Eric, and we saw you

two... You know, just admiring each other, him over you and all, so Jackwanted to do the same and... I stop her,

You do know we weren't really.... Doing it, right? I wouldn'teven LET him do that to me I chuckle a bit and let her continue.

Oh no! I know you guys weren't but Jack wanted to do the same, soI let him then he got really upset when he saw Eric get that close to you,

like when he put his head against your stomach then when you put your head to

his chest. I nod and ask for her to continue. Well, being upset and all, hedecided to take it out on me, and he.... Well you know what he did. She

wipes her eyes but more tears kept pouring out. I hug her softly and tellher everything is alright.

I promised Eric I will stay in here but I can't stay here whensomething like this has happened. Come with me! I jump out of the truck,

dragging Bell behind me and we both ran to Eric who's in a fight with Jack.

I stopped running and screamed, Eric! What are you doing!? I was

too late when I yelled out. Eric turned his head, widened his eyes and puthis fists down. I start crying, not just because of Bell's scary experience,

but it was also because I almost saw someone who would never lay a hand on astranger, almost beat the.... SHIT out of Jack. Jack was on the ground,

crying, and bruised up pretty badly. Eric... How could you....? I steppedforward, letting go of Bell's hand, but she held me back.

Kidomi.... He whispered and wiped the trail of blood that ran

down his left eyelid, over his eye and down his face; the newly made scarmark was from when Jack slashed Eric's eye with a pocket knife. I drop to the

ground, dragging Bell down with me, and cried into my hands. Eric looked athis blood-covered hands, looked to Ray as he crept towards him with a shocked

look on his face, then Eric looked at me, and only shed a tear. Not from thefact that I was crying, but from the fact that I caught him fighting.

We all changed into our clothes and began to head to the truck.Bell, being by my side, held me close to her, to comfort me, as I tried to

stop crying. Ray was whispering to Eric that Jack got away and such; Ericdidn't care, all he cared about was the fact that I was upset and it worriedhim to the point where it caused him to shed a few more tears. Ray patted

Eric's back, told him he did the right thing and helped him into the truck,after he helped me in.

02:27pmWe drove back to our houses. Bell in the back with me; Eric in

the front with Ray. I occasionally gazed up at Eric, seeing him place abloody rag over his wound. He would look back at me as well, only to catch

one of my gazes. He leans over to Ray, whispers to him then sits upright inhis seat. Ray nods to Eric's request and pulls the truck over to the side.Kiddo, go with Eric, please. Ray begged. I sigh and get out of the truck.

Eric walks around the truck towards me and covers me with his blue plaidbutton-down shirt, keeping my gaze to the ground. He gently grabs my hand

and pulls me over to the part of the truck where it was Ray's blind spot.Why did you do that, Eric? I asked him, continuing to not look

at him. He took a deep breath and exhaled,I did it to keep you and Bell from getting hurt, well in Bell's

case, from getting raped anymore. I finally look at him and stare at his new

scar.And all you got out of it was a scar and a really upset

girlfriend. I've never seen you lay a hand on a fly, let alone a strangerlike Jack! I exclaim, starting to cry.


11/28

Kidomi, look at it from my point of view. He covered my eyeswith his hand and asked me to just take deep breaths and try to figure out

why he did that. After a few seconds, he removed his hand and gazed into myeyes.

Because he was a moron? I shrug as he places a hand to hisforehead and shake his head.

No, Kidomi, it was because I wanted to protect you and Bell.Yes, you're right but all guys are morons at times. And this scar doesn't

mean that I screwed up, it means I did what was right. It was either me to

do it or Ray... I interrupt,But why couldn't Ray do it then, if it was his choice as well?

Eric placed a hand to my face and stroked my right cheek softly, Cause, hemay be your 'brother' but I'm your boyfriend and I'll do ANYTHING to keep you

from even getting a scratch on your body, do you understand why I had to dothat, now? I was still confused but I nodded anyways and smiled softly.

He smiled back, kissed my forehead and chuckled as I run a finger

along the scar.

Didn't that hurt? I asked as I continue to run my left indexfinger along the wound.

Just a little Eric lied, grabbing my hand and helping me up offthe ground.

I know you're lying. I giggled, poking Eric's nose.Oh well He placed me into the truck again. I hugged Bell,

apologizing for all the horrible things I've done and she just shrugged and

forgave me. I hugged her once again and asked her if I could sit with Eric;she just smiled and sat up front with Ray while Eric sat in the back with me.

03:02pmAfter dropping Bell off at her house, we returned home, well to

Eric's house. Ray parked his truck at his house and walked over, while asfor me and Eric, we took this time to spend time together. I would

occasionally steal his phone and watch him try to get it back, and viceversa. Ray walked in when I was sitting next to Eric, just holding the phone

in my hand.Alright, you two. Older bro's in the house so quit the

flirting. Ray boomed over us, but we just chuckled and stopped our little

game.

Ray stayed for a little bit, since he had to be home by 3:10, but

he played racing games with Eric while I sat behind Eric, with my arms aroundhim and acted like the backseat driver. No, speed up!; No, no, no! Too fast!;Now slow down.; OH you crashed, be careful!; Try again. andNO, you made the

wrong move! are a few things I would say. Eric didn't mind but Ray did.

Kiddo, if you want to keep kissing Eric, I suggest you shut upfor a little bit longer while I'm still here!! He exclaimed loudly to me. Igiggled quietly; Ray gave me a death look right as I began to laugh. After

that, I didn't speak until he left.

03:18pmNicole came over after a few minutes of us just sitting there,

being bored of making out. Sup? was the first word to come out of her mouth

when she walked in on us. Eric and I both shrugged and sighed together.We're so bored! I exclaim. All three of us just sit there,

then Nicole comes up with an amazing idea, well something amazing to us issomething stupid to someone else.


12/28

Nicole turns off all the lights, lights some candles and drags usto the table that's in one of the rooms in Eric's basement. We place our

phones in the middle of the table, link hands together and begin to hum;nothing happens.

Don't we need someone to call upon in order for them to come backfrom the dead to communicate with them?? I questioned. Nicole thought for a

second then nodded in agreement.True, so any ideas? She shrugged and shook her head when Eric

and I suggested relatives, then out of the blue, Nicole shouts MICHAEL

JACKSONand both Eric and I nodded our heads.

Michael Jackson had died 5-6 years ago, during the summer of '09

and we had always made fun of him. And we thought this was the perfect thingto do, now that he was dead for a few years. Mr. Michael Jackson?Nicole

starts off, We are calling upon you. Give us a sign that you're here....

Please.Nothing happens, so Eric tries,

Michael Jackson? If you can hear us, give us an indication thatyou're in this room. The curtains move but it was only from the wind that

was blowing in from outside. My turn. I sigh and close my eyes.Michael Jackson. King of Pop. Please. If you can hear us, give us

a sign, leave us a note or anything to tell us that we have called upon you.

Nothing happens but a few minutes later, we hear this noise from upstairs.Eric's parents aren't home and his dogs are outside at the moment.

03:34pmMinutes pass and everything was quiet until the noise starts up

again. It begins to get louder and closer. It sounds like someone is comingdown the staircase. Heavy footsteps make their way off the steps and across

the room, towards me. All our eyes widen, and I grab onto Eric's leg afterletting go of Nicole's hand and tightly close my eyes. I bury my nails into

his leg but he pulls them out and just grabs me and holds me tight to him.Michael Jackson? Nicole asks out loud but no response was heard

except for a moan-like noise. All three of us freak out and run away from

the room, turn on the lights and find that Axell had entered the house with

the spare key Eric had given to all of us; Axell was wearing heavy boots, andwas moaning cause he had a fishing hook stuck in his cheek. I still huggedEric and didn't let go until 'Michael Jackson' was gone. He chuckled, helped

Axell out and gave him a tissue to put over the wound.Is he gone? I ask, shaking slightly.It was only Axell, Kidomi. He had a fishing hook, which is mine

by the way, but he had it stuck in his cheek, so he couldn't talk, which Idon't understand but or else he would have screamed, instead, he could only

moan. I opened my eyes to see Axell in front of me. I freaked out and thenrealized it wasn't MJ at all. My heart felt like it skipped a few beats but

everything was back to normal. We gathered our phones and placed them backinto our pockets. Eric softly kissed my lips, reminding me that there wasnothing to be afraid of, and I believed him, for now that is. We all

promised each other that we would only call upon 'Michael Jackson' if Axellwasn't going to go fishing, if the upstairs door was locked, and if we had

better candles to use, cause we all agreed that Eric's mom's homemadeCinnamon candles smelled like dying rats. And yes, to answer your question,

Eric's mom makes candles, and she's horrible at it! Just a little FYI momentthere.

Saturday, August 27th, 2015


13/28

12:00pmThe weekends pretty fast with little interesting events throughout

the days. We, Eric and I, became friends with Bell once again yet Nicole was

upset with us for doing so... Oh well, not our problem. Anyways, Bell cameup to me on Thursday, during our class change, wheezing and coughing, asthough as if she'd been running all day. I have extremely horrifying news,Kiddo! She said as she slowed down her breathing and spoke normally.

I'm pregnant! She exclaimed quietly, hoping no one would hear

her.You're what!? I shout while whispering. She nods her head and

begins to cry. On the shore of Lake Dakamotto, Jack... You know theprocess! She replies and freaks out.

I don't know what to do, Kiddo! I can't tell my parents, they'llflip! And I can't break up with him, cause he'll try to kill me! I shook

my head and told her he couldn't do that, yet she continued to say he could.

Bell, he can't! Either he deals with being single or he goes tojail for murder! She shook her head again right before Madame Rain told us,

very politely and elegantly, to get to class. We both smiled at her andheaded to Mr. Toshino's class. But since that was 2 days ago, things have

drastically changed.

01:34pmJack, we need to break up. She told him while we were outside the

mall entrance and I was hiding behind a bush, right behind them.

You can't do this to me! He shouts, getting everyone who passesby, their attention. I whisper to the people that Bell and Jack are breakingup and he's not taking it too well; the majority of the people understood the

problem.You can't leave me! Isabell Natasha Rome! He shouts once more

but Bell kicked him in the shin and walked away, linking arms with me as Ipopped out of the bushes and giggled along with her. Jack fell to ground,

holding his shin and glaring at me as I look at him and stick my tongue out.I'll kill you, Bell! were the last words we heard from him.

02:10pmWe 'skip' along down through the mall, window shopping and trying

on clothes.How does this look? I asked Bell, wearing a really short, blue,

strapless, tight dress. She gives me two thumbs up and smiles as she helps

me get out of it and into another dress.Hey, Bell. What are you going to do about the baby? I question

her. She thinks for a moment then starts crying.I don't believe in getting an abortion, and even if I had the

choice, I couldn't do it without parent approval! She starts balling andfalls to her knees. I finish zipping up the next dress, ironically it was a

really flowy dress which helped when I bent over to comfort Bell.Hey, don't worry. There should be another way. I comfort her asbest as I can, ask her if she wants to go home and watch a movie with me as

well as pig out on chocolate ice cream, but she just shook her head and saidshe wanted to go home.

You're lying. I know you want chocolate! I smile at her. Shegiggles slightly and just sighed and demanded to go home. I smiled, gave hera hug, got out of the dress, called Ray, and he took her home.

03:10pmSo, what is she going to do? He asks. I could tell there was


14/28

sadness in his voice. I shrug and said I had no clue. He nodded and droveme to Eric's house. Thank you, Ray. I sent a message to him when he drove

out of Eric's driveway. Anytime, 'sis'. Don't do anything stupid now. Hereplied. I just answered him with You're too over protective.and walked up

to Eric's door and softly banged on it. He opened the door, and before Icould say anything, he dragged me into the house and embraced me tightly.Choking, not breathing, sweetie! I exclaimed. He let go and smiled brightly.

Ok, so besides freaking me out, what's up?

There's a meteor shower tonight. I hear it'll be the most

romantic sight if you get a chance to look at it. You want to be with me onthe night of the shower? He insisted on me saying yes, but I couldn't so I

just shrugged.I don't know... When is it?

Tonight. He said with no hesitation.I think I can make it...

You HAVE to go! He picked me up, held me tightly in his arms andstared into my eyes. I giggled silently and nodded

Fine, I'll go! I smiled brightly as he hugged me, then set me

down.So.... I said,

The shower is tonight, it's starts at 7. Well more like 9, butI'm starting the party, and I need your help to get me set up. My eyes

widen as I shook my head.Umm, I can't help you Eric... Actually, to be honest, I don't

think I should I hesitated while speaking.

Why not? What's going on with you, Kidomi? Please, tell me...I'm worried about you. He placed his soft fingers around my arms loosely and

looked at me. I turned my face away and sighed.... I just couldn't get thecourage to tell him.

Hours before any of this happened, I was sleeping. Oh my god!

Kiddo, you sleep??? is what you guys are probably thinking... Of COURSE I

sleep but that's not the point. I had the worst 'dream' imaginable, thenightmare that'll haunt me forever. From what I remember, I was in a dark

room, with no light to be found, though I could see perfectly. It was in myhouse, in my room. I was just sitting on my bed while what looked like Rayand Axell came into the room. They had no faces; no noses, mouths, anything.

They just stood there, with only a pair of eyes and what looked like astitched-in mouth. After seeing what they looked like, they took me to

Eric's. Once we were there, the two shoved me into his house, and closedthe door behind them, taking Eric with them. I looked through the peep holeand saw a horrible sight. They fought with him, punching him, kicking him,

beating him. Then, they stabbed him with a knife... Eric's own swish-bladeknife that was in his pocket. He laid there flat on the ground, blood flowing

in every direction and there was nothing I could do. What was scary aboutthis was, in the nightmare, Eric had asked me to help him with the Meteor

shower party. I was terrified to even hear those words.

Why not? He asked again. I almost opened my mouth to explain to

him why but I just turned my head to the right and looked at the ground. Hegrabbed my chin with his right hand and dragged my glance towards him,

Please tell me, Kidomi. He begged. I inhaled softly, then

exhaled hard.I'm sorry, Eri. Eri is the 'pet'-name I give to Eric, I only use

it when I don't want to tell him something, but the name means blessed prizein Japanese, though it's a girl Japanese name, which is ironic.

Kidomi! He starts to yell as he gracefully drags his right palmalong my left cheek,


15/28

Please, Kiddo... He's never called me by the name everyone elsecalls me. My eyes widen once he said my nick-name.

I-I can't tell you! I softly push him away and run out thedoor, right into Bell.

03:34pmApparently, Ray asked Bell to meet me at Eric's as soon as

possible, well, she met me here alright... Hey, you alright, Kidomi? Bellsays as I wipe my eyes.

Yes, yes, I'm alright... I just need to talk to you! I grab herleft wrist and ran back to my house with her trying to keep up with me.

Now tell me what's wrong? Did Eric hurt you? He broke up withyou, didn't he? Oh that boy's in trouble!! She holds up a fist and giggles

as I lay down on my bed while she's sitting next to me.No, it's nothing like that... I had a horrible nightmare last

night, and it involved the meteor shower party... The dream changed

throughout the time that I was in it, but all I can say is that Eri got hurtin my dream, like really hurt, and some of my dreams come true... I say as

tears run down my face. Bell looked at me as I said Eri.Eri? You mean Eric? I inhaled and nodded.

I call him Eri, since he's my blessed prize but I don't thinkhe'll be my prize for very long.... I sit up right from my bed and hug myknees. Bell leans over and wraps an arm around me.

Don't worry, Kidomi, he won't get hurt, cause Ray, Axell, Nicole,you, and I will be there to keep him safe, and you know that! Now, should we

go invite him over here, so that you can tell him what's wrong? I nod asshe was already calling him up. She whispers a few things into the phone so

that I can't hear what she's saying. She then smiles brightly, and hangs upthe phone with a Alright, Mr. Eri, come over here as quick as you can, byebye now!

ISABELL! You called him ERI!? Why!? I only call him that! Iexclaimed.

Don't worry, I said it to bug him. I won't call him that atschool or anywhere She smiled and wiped my eyes with a tissue before we

heard footsteps pounding up the staircase.

04:11pmEric ran into the room as fast as he could, gently pushing Bell

out of the way with an Excuse me, Bell. He then grabbed me and hugged me.

He closed his eyes and embraced me affectionately.Oh Kidomi, I didn't know you were that worried about me! He

said as he kissed my neck passionately and as I looked at Bell with the Whydid you tell him?! look on my face. She just smiled and quickly left theroom.

04:30pmEric laid me down on the bed, brushing my bangs out of my face asI blush a bright rose red.Eri... I stuttered.

Why didn't you tell me, Kidomi?? I was worrying about you! Heconfessed as I grabbed my pillow and covered my face with it.

I didn't tell you 'cause you wouldn't believe me, or just tell menot to worry! I muttered into the pillow. Eric grabbed the pillow andtossed it off the bed, along with the other pillows.

Ok, that's not fair. I say before he kissed my lipspassionately. My eyes widen as he kissed my lips; he softly nibbled on my

upper lip then he kissed my neck and continued downwards. I watched his


16/28

every move and before he got too close to my top of my tank top, I pushed himaway.

Eri. No. I demanded and just watched his face glow withhappiness. There's nothing to worry about, my little Ai(love).He expressed

by laying me back down and kissing right above my belly button; my faceturned a really pale pink.

E-Eri... I stuttered once again. He looked up at me, kissing mybelly again then he leaned up to me and kissed my lips once again.

Come with me, and help me with the party, please! He begged and

gave me the puppy-dog look. I finally gave in and he carried me all the wayto his house. You know, I already did all the decorations and

everything... He admitted as he set me down on the couch and peered over me.You have to be kidding me... I glared at him then shrugged and smiled.

Party starts at 7. So should we start invit... I cut him off asI grabbed the collar on his shirt and pulled him on top of me, kissing his

upper lip and nibbling on his lower.

05:18pmHis eyes widened then they closed as he balanced himself by

placing his right foot on the ground, bending his left leg and resting his

left knee right next to my right thigh. He placed his left palm on my rightcheek as he lifted his right leg up and next to my left thigh. I blusheddeeply, like a dark red rose color as Eric softly moved his right palm under

my shirt and up to my chest, yet I squealed and he stopped.What's wrong? He questioned me.

Just don't please. I said as I continued to blush a dark rosered. He just smiled and kissed my lips deeply.

I'm sorry, my Kidomi. He kissed my cheek and got up, openingthe front door to drag Ray in since he was spying through the window next tothe door.

NIICHAN(big brother)!! I yell out as I sit up right on thecouch, blushing embarrassingly. He just chuckled and messed up my hair; I

just glared at him.Oh calm down, little Kiddo, I only saw Eric disappear into the

couch, is all. I trust that he wouldn't do anything bad to you. Ericnodded as I kept glaring at Ray then I turned my eyes to Eric as he juststood there with a surprised look on his face.

Eri, what's wrong?? I get up and look at him. He shook hishead and began to walk towards the couch though he had trouble of doing so.

Eric? I helped him sit down on the couch. I got down to eye level withhim and begged him to tell me What's wrong? He just saidnothingand

started talking to Ray. I look from one guy to the other. Eri, what's

wrong??? I begin to worry yet I just shake it off and sit next to Eric. Ericcontinued to speak to Ray and ignored me. I was really worried.

07:23pmEveryone starts to come over to Eric's place. Nicole and Bell sit

outside, waiting for the shower to start, Axell and Ray start talking to eachother outside, and Eric and I just look at each other inside the house.

Eri... I sighed. He looked down at the ground and then got up,holding a hand out for me.

Come on... The party has started, lets go have fun, alright?NO! First tell me why you looked so shocked right after niichan

came into the house... He took a deep breath then let it out slowly,It's because I thought I saw Jack outside... My eyes widen as

he saidJack

J-Jack Biyoku? I mumbled as Eric nodded, picking me up andholding me close.


17/28

I think this is a very bad idea, Kidomi-Ai... The meteor shower,I mean... I agreed but we couldn't tell the others to just go home.

We have to let the party go on, we HAVEto! Eric nodded againthen looked outside.

Come on, it's our party and we're not even enjoying it. Hecarried me outside and rested me on the grass, in his, not 'that' huge, yard.

Everyone giggled as he almost dropped me when putting me down.Sorry, Kidomi. He blushed embarrassingly. I just smiled, kissed

his cheek and forgave him.

09:37pmOMG! That's so pretty!!Nicole blurted out as the shower started

and the sky gets covered in meteors shooting across dark, black space at

speeds I don't even want to know. Eric grabbed my hand and squeezed ittightly. I look down then to his face; I sensed he was worried. Come with

me. I stood up and walked along the pathway that lead around Eric's house to

his front steps; he followed me the whole way. I sat on the top step andlooked at him as he stood over top of me, protecting me. So why did we

leave? I shrugged as he asked.Just wanted some alone time... I smiled at him as he shook his

head then nervously turned around, to make sure no one was behind him.Eric don't worry there's no one... I screamed loudly as I

grabbed Eric and pulled him towards me.

Look out! He yelled and kicked the man who was running towardsEric with a knife in his hand. My nightmare began to come true, only it was

only one person instead of two and this man looked nothing like Axell andRay... Could it possibly be....?

10:00pmRAY! Axell! Help please!! I cried out, hoping the two would hear

me, though I knew they couldn't over Nicole's constant opinion making aboutthe shower. Eric fought for his life and fought off the man.

Jack! You dirty rat! Eric yelled out. Jack... I thought tomyself as Eric punched him straight in the jaw line. I saw tears stream down

Eric's face. He began crying only because this is the second time I'vecaught him fighting as well as he cried because Jack had almost caused harmto me.

Eri, knock it off! Ray, Axell, where are you!? I kept screamingout as I just sat there, watching this go on until... Splat! Blood goes

everywhere, on the steps, on the grass, as well as on me. Jack is still

standing... So... I traced my eyes from Jack's face down to the spot whereEric was laying on the ground. He was stabbed in the right thigh, the knife

was still in him, and he had a huge cut along his stomach. I screamed at areally high pitch, hoping to get Ray's and Axell's attention. That finally

worked. The two ran towards my scream and tried to calm me down. I, insteadof calming down, stood up, grabbed the knife that was in Eric's leg, kissed

the blade(also Eric) and chucked it at Jack, only missing him by a long shot.Dammit! I said under my breath. Jack picked up the knife and ran as fast ashe could away; Ray ran after him as Axell called the police and ambulance. I

turned around to see Eric crying yet not making any noise.Eri... I began to cry as well, holding his right ear to my

heart. It's going to be alright, Eri, don't worry! I told him and myself,yet I didn't believe that my nightmare was basically a reality.

Once the ambulance arrived and I was in the truck, sitting byEric's side, I began to bawl like crazy. Eric was hooked up to a breathing

machine and his eyes were closed.


18/28

Please, don't die, Eric! I cried. Ray sat next to me and heldme close to him. NO NIICHAN! I need to be by him! Please! I struggled to

get free, but he was too strong.'Sis,' leave him.... The doctors are going to stitch him up and

he'll be alright. Now, relax and just let all the anger out in tears. Raywhispered as he forced my head against his chest. The ambulance arrived at

the hospital, and only Ray and I were allowed to watch the surgery takeplace. I cried the whole time.

12:04am(the next day)We missed the shower, didn't we...? I pointed out to Ray as wewatched the surgery. After an hour in surgery, I couldn't take it anymore sothe nurse directed us to a waiting area near the room Eric was going to stay.

We might have missed it, but this is more important, and you knowthat! I nodded as I squeezed Ray's hand, worrying whether Eric will bealright or not.

The hospital was scary quiet but it was nice. There were no onescreaming, which would have scared me into thinking it was Eric.

The nurse soon came back to get us, telling us to follow her, so

we did. She pointed us to Eric's room; we walked in. My eyes showedhappiness when all Eric had was a bandage around his stomach and his leg. I

ran towards the edge of his bed and just smiled at him. Eri, wake up Eri! Iwhispered into his ear. One of his eyes opened to look in the direction ofwhere the voice was coming from.

My Kidomi! He said with a bit of pain in this voice. My eyesstreamed tears but I didn't care. I hugged Eric softly, trying not to hurt

him. I put up a good fight, huh? He chuckled then coughed. I smiledbrightly and nodded.

You sure gave me one hell of a good scare, Eri! He smiled back,saidI love you as well as sorrythen closed his eyes and went back to sleep.The nurse pointed to the couch in the corner of the room and told Ray to

remove the cushions and to pull out the bed that's in there.

Only one of you can stay! She told us. Ray bowed to me and Iblushed deeply.

He fought for you, you deserve to stay by his side. My face

shined brightly as I couldn't think of something to say. Ray chuckled,kissed the top of my hand and waved goodbye. The nurse said that in order tostay with Eric, I'd have to comfort him throughout the night, which I told

her that it's not that hard to keep someone you love company. She justsmiled, handed me a blanket and a pillow and closed the door behind her when

she left. I set up my bed and immediately kissed Eric goodnight then went tosleep.

02:56amI woke up during the night to check on Eric. He was sound asleep,

yet I couldn't go back to sleep. I grabbed my phone and shot Ray a message.No reply. I did the same for Bell and Nicole. No answer. I then messaged

Axell. Yes? He answered.Hey, um, I can't fall back to sleep...

How come?

I just can't.

Neither can I

Why can't you fall asleep? Not tired?I asked Axell.

Basically, yeah. There was a pause in the messaging thenCan I tell you something?


19/28

Sure.

I want to hook up with Nicole.My eyes widened as I read the

text. WOWwas all I sent back. I'm serious! She likes me right?

Of course!

Good, so could you ask her out for me? I placed a hand to myhead as I looked at Eric, sleeping soundly. I sighed then replies

Fine... But you have to do something for me.

Anything you want!

Two new neighbors had just moved to Arrow's Road a couple of days

ago. Go greet them for me! The older brother knows me, same with theyounger. Tell them you're Kidomi's friend.

I shall do that first thing when the sun comes up and shines it's

horrid face on to the world of Axell! I softly laughed at the text then

sent backAlright, thank you! I then told Axell I was going to try to

return to dreamland, and I did before reading his message that saidGoodnight, imouto(little sister).

Sunday, August 29th, 2015

11:00amI woke up to hearing birds chirping at the window of Eric'shospital room.

Why am I...? I questioned myself as I looked up at the person

laying in the bed. OMG! ERI! I rushed over to him trying to writesomething on a card. Eric, what are you writing??? I tried to take thecard from him but he wouldn't give it to me.

Morning, sweetheart! He softly says. Don't 'Morning,

sweetheart' me! I glared at him and crossed my arms. He finished writing

then pressed the call button to get the nurse to come into to the room. Hehanded her the card then whispered to her. She nodded, looked at me then

walked out with the hard in hand.Eri... I just looked at him and sighed.

It's a surprise sweetie. Now sit here. He tried to scoot overa bit and then he patted down a little empty spot next to his bandaged leg.I sat down softly right as the rest of the crew came in with flowers and

presents. They didn't hand the presents and such to Eric, but they handedthem to me. I looked puzzled at them.

12:58pmThanks? I got so confused as I looked from Axell, to Ray, to

Nicole, to Bell, to Eric then to my two English friends who were standing onthe opposite side of where I was sitting.

OMG! Rex and David! I got up, ran around Eric's bed to them,and hugged them tightly. Rex, you look all grown-up, you too David! I

haven't seen you guys ever since I visited my father in England! Which waslike, two summers ago? Rex shrugs and softly kissed my cheek; Eric movedslightly and glared at Rex, though I turned around and kissed Eric on the

lips. Don't worry, I won't ditch you for him! I smiled to Eric as I huggedDavid again.

Wow! You got shorter! I joke around with him. He smiled thenstepped behind Rex. So, this is unexpected! Why did I get all these? Ismiled the flowers then put them on Eric's stand. He sat up slightly and

wrapped his arms around me softly, trying not to hurt himself.It's for not leaving me after all this! I know you hate when I

fight, but I knew you wouldn't leave me after this. He handed me a box with


20/28

my name on it. I called Ray during the night to get me this for you. Letssay it's just an early anniversary gift and also it's from Ray as well since

he bought it for me. I opened the tiny box and gasped once I looked at thegift.

1:14pmIt's so beautiful! Eri, Ray, how did you guys.... Before I could

even speak, Eric had taken the 22-carat gold heart necklace from my hand andput it around my neck and clipped it on.

It's wonderful!And it was cheap! I know how much you hate when I spend, well

when someone spends too much money on you!Define cheap.

Maybe, more than $300. I hit Eric lightly on the arm. It'spretty, yet very expensive but thank you! I shake the other boxes beforeopening them.

A book, Axell? He turned the book over and read the title Never

Thought Life Could Be So Good by: Kidomi Rose I screamed into my hands as I

tackle hugged Axell. You got it published!? He nodded then hugged meback. I sat back down next to Eric. He dragged me closer to him as I opened

the rest. Nicole got me a huge teddy-bear that managed to fit into a mediumsized box and Bell got me little baby boy shoes since I love baby shoes.Well thank you all, but what about Eric?

The flowers can be for him. David spoke up as we all laughedout.

I knew I liked hanging with you guys when I was with Daddy! Ismiled at the two strangers. OH! Umm sorry, but I forgot the most important

part. Ray, Nicole, Axell, Eric and Bell, these are the Max's, Rex and DavidMax. I used to hang out with them every summer when I visited England to seeDaddy, but it's been 2 years since I've seen them last, but when I heard they

were moving on to Arrow's Road, I wanted you all to meet them, andapparently, today is perfect! I smiled, holding Eric's hand softly. They

all greeted each other then they sat down on the bed I slept on while Istayed in Eric's room for the night.

Rex and David Max. Two English students who have moved to theDakamotto Academy area the day before the meteor shower incident. Rex is a

Junior, along with Axell and Ray. He's like Ray, muscular and tall, thoughRex has semi-long, dark brown hair, and brown eyes, while Ray had short blackhair and green eyes. On the other hand, David is a Freshman like the rest of

the crew. He has brown hair and aqua-colored eyes. Also, I've dated Davidwhen I lived my dad in England during the summers, yet, it always ended

horribly, that's why we stayed friends from what happened 2 years ago.

1:40pmI can't believe you have moved here! I spoke quietly to David

outside Eric's room. He just smiled then turned around and walked back into

the room but I stopped him.You didn't tell me why.... Shorty. I smiled back and waited for

an answer.Parents got divorced and mom moved here. He just shrugged.Oh, I see. I understand why you're not saying so much. I

looked at him as he nodded and returned inside. I just stood there andfollowed him in after a while.

Hey, Eric, you ready to go home yet? The nurse asks as shewalked in the room.

Already? I asked. The nurse nodded explaining how due to the


21/28

love from me and my friends, we've basically helped him heal faster. Ismiled and nodded as Eric just sat up right, only grunting slightly. I

guess you're right, Nurse May, it is time for him to leave. I giggled thennodded again as she walked out of the room, returning with a wheelchair and

crutches.Choose. Eric chose the crutches but I asked the nurse if we

could take both. She said yes and so we did, since I don't trust him withthe crutches.

02:20pmRay helped Eric in the backseats of his truck, next to me. Axellput the wheelchair in the 'trunk' of the truck, while Nicole and Bell rodewith Rex and David. They followed Ray back to Eric's house and we just hung

out there, playing video games and we all ended up going home later on tograb some clothing and necessities since we were allowed to have a sleep overat Eric's house while he was recovering.

Monday, August 30th, 201512:28am

Hours passed as Eric sat on the couch, next to me, in thebasement. Axell sat on the floor next to Nicole; they secretly held hands.Ray was standing above us, and Rex and David just sat against the wall. Thelights were off and the curtains were closed. It was almost pitch black down

here. So... Someone said as we all sat there, bored out of our minds.I know! I perked up, knowing that no one else had any bright

ideas. We should totally imagine stuff, like... I look behind me, and overthe couch. There was a lonely table that rested upright behind us.

Imagine this. Axell in the corner with a camera, and.... I pausedfor a second as I looked around at everyone, choosing the right people to add

to my image.David... and Rex and Ray are sitting at the table playing strip

poker, and only Ray has almost all his clothes off, except his fighter's

boxers.Everyone just stared at me as I shrugged and continued.Poor Ray, down to his last and only piece of clothing. But who's

that? I pointed out that Michael Jackson in a Barney outfit had blastedthrough the window and had taken Ray away in his giant hot air balloon that

hadThat's ignorant written in the fabric. Everyone laughed as Ray tapped meon the head.

Now, after 'Barney' took Ray away, Axell takes his spot at strip

poker and beats the two brothers as they begin to strip off their last pieces

of clothing... Then before they remove their boxers... Umm... I go brain

dead right when the story gets good.OH, let me continue! Nicole begs yet demands; I let her take

the 'floor'.

Ok, so, I kicked down that side door, with.... Bell by my side andwe....

Start to kiss. Ray added on. Nicole slapped him but let him goon.

The two begin to kiss as Axell video tapes them while angry mutant

squirrel-turtle-bunnies invade the rest of the house. We all laugh at the

fact that Ray can make anything perverted yet hilarious at the same time. Wethen realized that we needed to go into Eric's bedroom in order to get'ready' for bed. So we all hurried upstairs, changed into 'pjs' and

continued in Eric's humongous bedroom.


22/28

01:00amWe continued for hours and hours until Nicole fell asleep on

Axell's shoulder. We stopped since we needed her to finish the 'story' but

since she's not waking up anytime soon, we gave up. Ok, guys, and girls, we

either need something to do or we all fall asleeee-YAAAAAAAAWN-eeeep. Rexyawned as he stretched and began to dose off. I gave him a soft, sisterly

kiss on the forehead and pushed him down onto one of the spare beds thatEric's father laid out for us. Everyone was beginning to fall asleep except

me, Eric and David... Ok maybe Ray as well but he was sleeping with his eyesopen so he doesn't count.

01:13amThe remaining up, which was sadly a low number of 3, talked softly

to each other, hoping to not wake these sleepy people up.Ok, truth or dare? I asked David.

Umm, dare? I grin an evil smile as he gulps silently.Eric, I'm sorry I have to do this sweetie but I dare you two to

kiss! Eric shook his head and waited; David, on the other hand didn't wantto.

NO! He exclaimed.

You can't back down from a dare, unless... You're reallychicken. Eric taunted David.

Fine! I'll do it! He sighed as he leaned into Eric. Ericclosed his eyes and waited. In mere seconds, the two GUYS kissed and held it

as long as I wanted it to last. I took pictures and captured the moment fora good minute until I asked for them to put some tongue into the kiss. As Isaid that, both pulled away as quickly as they can, and tried to wipe their

lips to get the other's germs off. David ran for the bathroom, and Ericlooked at me, smiling as though he was going to rape me. I got up so fast

that I was already out the door before he could limp over to the middle ofthe room.

Eri!! I don't want two guys' germs! He just laughed then wentquiet. I heard a loud thump noise as I slowly turned the corner to go back

into the room. David had caught Eric(Eric had closed his eyes) just as hefell.

Eric! I rushed over, grabbed Eric from David, and softly said

thank you for catching him. David just nodded, kissed the back of my headthen walked over to the last empty bed on the floor and went to sleep.

01:58amI pushed Eric softly onto his bed where we both were to sleep. I

went to the bathroom, grabbed some safety scissors and did what the nursetold me to do, remove the bandages if Eric was to fall or almost collapse

which had basically just happened.

I snipped away the bandages and placed his knife wounded left legon top of a super soft pillow that I sacrificed since I was to sleep on it.I also removed the bandage around his stomach, which, amazingly, there was

barely any scar left, so it healed up instantly.

Eri, sweetie, you awake? I asked as I placed his bandages onthe ground beside the bed. He nodded and smiled.

I'm fine, Ai. I just tripped is all, then tried to concentratethe pain I was about to face, until David saved me. He pulled me on to the

bed and asked me to sit on his stomach; I refused but when I did, he justlifted me up and placed me there.

You really don't know the meaning of no, do you?


23/28

I have no idea what you mean. He smiled as you placed his softhands on my bare skin on my thighs, since, obviously, I was wearing short...

What? Did you think I was wearing nothing? Wow... Anyways...

02:29amEric began to move his hands up and down my thighs, trying to get

me to go a little farther with him, if you guys know what I mean.

Eri... I softly spoke out as my face turned a bright red.Kidomi. It's been how long since we've been going out? A really

long time, right? Well, I think we should go, a little bit farther than justmaking out... I softly blinked as he spoke calming and quietly.

I---I don't know if I'm ready for it, right now. I rejected hisplead for agreement. He continued to rub my legs softly until he began to

move his hands up over my hips and up the my stomach. He gently pushed meoff the bed as he asked for me to stand against the bed, facing him. Ilooked confused for a second until he grabbed my waist and shoved his head

into my stomach, and began kissing it.E-Eri? I wondered why he was doing that.

I love you... So much that it kills me to see you be kissed by orkiss other guys, even though it's either on the head or cheek... Whether it's

as a thank you or a goodbye... It doesn't matter. It hurt me to know thatthese guys are all over you. I don't want to lose you. I smiled and got toeye level with him.

Hey... like I'll leave you for these 'losers' I call my guyfriends. You're the only one I love. Don't worry. I kissed his lips

softly then pushed him back onto the bed. Go to sleep, you crazy man. I'llbe right next to you the whole time. I climbed onto the bed, and laid my

head on his chest, though he fell asleep before I could even say good night.I just kissed his right cheek and fell to sleep as well.

A Few Weeks Later

Wednesday, September 12th, 2015

6:30pmWeeks have passed since the night we slept over and things have

just gotten worse from there. Eric and I have been arguing a lot since nowall my guy friends, except Ray of course(sort of), have been kissing me onthe forehead or the hand, along with more hugs every day and Eric has been

tired of dealing with it. Also, Nicole and Axell started going out butsadly, Nicole pulled a slutty move and got caught kissing Rex at the mall; it

tore Axell's heart to major pieces. On the other hand, Jack was sent toprison for almost committing a murder(a.k.a. Almost killing Eric) as well as

Bell finally got the abortion by forging the signature, and she's never feltbetter! Also in the good news, Ray and David are best 'buds' since Davidprotects me and others in the group, which is what Ray usually does. But

back to the bad stuff.

Look, if you want them to stop, tell them!I shout out at Eric,

knowing that he's not listening. It was raining outside, school was outtoday and everyone was over at my place since my house is the best at keeping

the sound of rain from being heard throughout the house.I know, I know, guys will be guys but seriously, you need to tell

them to knock it off if it bugs you that much! Eric just keeps saying thatI'm flirting with David, Axell, Ray, and Rex, but yet, they are the ones whoare flirting with me.


24/28

That's it! I finally yell out, knowing that the crew, exceptNicole(we booted her for cheating on Axell, since we got her on camera

forcing Rex to kiss her) were listening to the argument since it was echoingthroughout my house. I can't take the arguing any longer! Get out of my

house before I end everything! I'm sorry but I don't want to get to thatpoint. Eric nodded as I cry out, actually crying as he leaves my bed room

with his final words of It's over. slip from his lips. I stood there,watching him leave while everyone charged in to comfort me. My eyes dripped

tears down my cheeks but I breathed softly and calmly like I wasn't crying at

all.

6:48pmDavid stood at the door frame just watching, then he ran after

Eric, who's leg had healed and he was already halfway down to his house.Eric! David called out.Leave me alone, 'Max'. Eric said as he hurried up his front

lawn.:::FYI Moment Open - Eric calls David by his last name... FYI

Moment Closed:::David ran up behind Eric and kneed him in the back.

Listen to me, jerk. Don't you dare hurt Kidomi again, or elseI'll hurt you worse than what Jack did to you. Got it!? Eric didn't

respond, only fell to the ground into a puddle. GOT IT! David yelled thistime.

I promise.... I won't harm her, again.... Eric coughed as he

stood up and walked into his house while Rex and Ray came outside to see whatwas the yelling about.

David? Rex asked. David just shook his head and turned to Ray.Protect your imouto from him until he cools off, alright? David

demanded as Ray nodded and smiled.Will do! The three walked back up to my room only to see me

fall to pieces since I had watched Eric get beaten down by David. Why?... I

sobbed.

WHY DID YOU FOUR IDIOTS HAVE TO KISS ME AND HUG ME IN FRONT OFERIC!? WHY!?I screamed as I threw pillows and stuffed toys at the guys outof anger and sadness. Ray crept close towards me but then step back after

hearing me scream.I... I'm sorry, my sister.Sorry doesn't cut it anymore! I continued to cry in Bell's arms

as the four boys just stood there staring at me. I thought I saw Ray's eyesstart to water, but he wiped his eyes and made the excuse of having something

in his eyes. We all believed it, except me.

Friday, September 14th, 2015

12:28pmTwo days of drama passed and Mr. Kon was writing on the blackboard

about the Terracotta Army when a little folded up paper landed on my desk

with the name Kidomi-Ai written on the front. I opened the note up under mydesk and figured out that it was from Rex. Apparently, David was given the

note from Rex to give to me. I looked up and stared at David. Whats this?

I whisper right as Mr. Kon turns around and looks at me.

Is there a problem, Aire Ro--- I mean Kidomi Rose? I shook myhead and Mr. Kon then smiled and turned back around. David just told me toread it, giving me no help at all. I sat in my seat, ignoring Mr. Kon and


25/28

began to read the note:

My Precious Kidomi Ai,

For years, Ive watched you grow up with your father

every summer, watching you turn more beautiful than the last time I got

to see you. Now that I finally have the chance to see you a lot more often,

I was hoping to get closer to you, meaning more than friends. I

understand that Eric was being a dumb ass when he just walked out onyou and I completely respect your space for the grieving period youre in

but I would like to cheer you up throughout the time you need, maybe

longer. I dont wish to ever hurt you, I promise. If the promise is broken,

I will never walk back into your life again. If you would give me a

chance, I will make the time spent together worth your wild.

Old Friend,

Rex Max

After reading the note, my face lit up like a Christmas tree andwhen the bell rang for Lunch, I ran out as quickly as I can catch up to Rex

before he gets into the lunch room. REX! I shout happily. He turns around

only to catch me running towards him. I wrap my arms around his stomach,since hes 62 like Ray and Im 56, but he just smiled and asked me if Igot the note.

You really think I didnt? I laughed then kissed his cheek.Honestly, even if David is so protective of me, he still gave me

the note. I think he knows that youll keep me safe. Rexs eyes widen ashe blushed deeply.

So, youre going to give me a chance? I nodded and hugged himagain. He picked me up and smiled as he twirled me around for a second.

But isnt too early for you to be dating again? He questioned

me. I shrugged and smiled by sayingEric will be on my case for the next couple of lunch periods

about how he made a huge mistake of leaving me and blah blah blah You cankeep him away from me as well as be my boyfriend? I smiled once more as he

leaning in to kiss my lips then pulled away and coughed while smiling. Ijust shook my head and grabbed his hand, dragging him to the lunch room and

making him sit at the table while I go to get me some water.

12:36pmI came back to the table to find Eric and Rex arguing, Ray and

David trying to break the two up, and Bell just looking at me with asaddening face.

Kidomi Eric and Rex looked at me.Why cant you two behave? Especially you, Eric I will not go

back to you! Get over it! Please I want to give Rex a chance since wevebeen good friends for a long time, why cant you get used to that fact? I

politely yet aggressively said but Eric didnt take it too well. He grabbedmy arm tightly which caused me to drop my water bottle on the ground. Rex

quickly got up and charged towards Eric but Eric turned around and glared atRex.

Dont you dare come near me, or else your new girl will get

hurt! Rex stood there, breathing heavily and he was ready to attack.Rex... Stay here, please. I blew him a kiss as he just sat back


26/28

down, and watched Eric drag me away. Eric then shoved me into an empty guysbathroom and blocked the entrance/exit.

12:43pmEri I-I mean Eric I stuttered when I said the wrong name. Say

me name He demanded calmly.Why? I asked. He pushed me against the wall and shoved his

right hand up my shirt while pressing me against the wall with his body andhis left arm. My face turned a bright red as I closed my eyes and tried to

ignore what he was doing.Say my name! He demanded again as he rested his right hand

around my left breast. I shivered slightly and tried to scream for help.Eri dont do this, please!

Say my name or Ill hurt you! I nodded then looked at him, withtears falling down from my eyes.

E-Eri He softly squeezed my breast a few times then he moved

his hand down towards my shorts but he didnt do anything except stepped backand fell to the ground and began to cry.

12:58pmEri I bent down to him and held his head against my chest and

let him cry on me; he was ruining my favorite tank top but I didnt care.Im sorry, my Kidomi Jealousy took over and everything fell

apart between us I knew Rex was going to go for you, I could seriously tellBut I let my jealous side take over my emotions and, I knew you werent

flirting with them Kidomi, could you ever forgive me? Eric cried as hespoke but I just shook my head and sadly sighed.

Eri, you did something I definitely didnt want, and apologizing

wont do anything, you know that! I softly kissed his lips and then hisforehead. But, I can tell that you will always love me, and I can never

hide my feelings for you but you know that I cant be with you anymore. Heunderstood perfectly but he softly pinned me to the bathroom floor and kissed

my neck then my lips. He had stopped crying but he looked like he was cryingfor hours on end.

Eric, please dont.. I begged as he nodded then stood up andhelped me leave the bathroom.

Im sorry..

Its alright, Eri, its all understandable. I softly kissed hischeek then ran back to Rex and into his arms. Eric stayed outside the lunch

room, watching me hold onto Rex as we laugh and smile at each other.

7:27pmSchool went by fast, though I would leave class just to meet Rex

out in the hall way, since our teachers dont care as long as were back 10

minutes before class ends. Rex and I would sneak off into a janitors closetarea(I had the keys since they love my family) and both of us would sit

there, locking lips, tongues and bodies together, and when I mean bodies Imean we were really close together.

7:43pmAfter a 20 minute make out, at my house, in the living room, we

heard a bang on the front door.

Kidomi? It was David. Rex opened the door while I sat on thecouch with a wide smile on my face.

David?Rex, give me Kidomi.

David, why should I?


27/28

Rex Axel Max! Nicole found out that youre with Kidomi, andshes not going to stop until shes beat the shit out of Kiddo. If she stays

with you, shell track Kidomi through you, so please! David pleaded at Rexuntil Rex turned towards me.

Rex? Whats going on? I asked. He lifted me off the groundsoftly and looked into my eyes. Go with David. is the last thing he said to

me before kissing my lips and shoving me into David, whos surprisingly hasgrown to about 58. I tried to hold onto Rex until I heard that Nicole was

out to get me so David pulled me away, shoved me into his blood red Ford

Mustang, showed me his license then drove all the way to Dakamotto Lake onlyto find Nicole there, waiting with a knife in her hand.

8:11pmDavid kept me on the car as he walked towards Nicole cautiously.Hand her over asshole She smiled, holding up the knife; I could

seriously tell that she thought I stole her boyfriend away.

Nicole, we could settle this in a mental institute, please putthe knife down. Nicole threw the knife at David, slicing him on the arm but

only making a small cut.DIE! She charged towards him and hit him as hard as she could

but David just punched her in the stomach and watched her fall to the ground.Kidomi? David turned around to see that I stood still behind

him, crying as I hold my blood covered hand up to my chest and fall to my

knees. Someone standing behind me caught me before I fell; Rex and Eric bothcaught me. Apparently, Rex forced Eric to take him to the Lake where Rex

knew that Nicole was there waiting for me.

8:35pmThe sun had just hit the horizon when the two caught me.Eri... Rex... My hand and chest hurt... I continued to cry as

Eric held onto me and Rex patched up my hand.When the knife cut David's arm, it then began to head straight

towards you, luckily, your hand blocked it, or else you would have died inmere minutes since it was on a direct path to your heart. Rex explained as

he softly kissed my forehead and called 911. Eric held onto me tightly asDavid ran over.

The knife still hit her in the chest, Rex. We need to take her

to the hospital.I'm doing that, but just keep the blood leakage under control...

Hello 911? Rex began to explain to the man operator on the other side ofthe phone line that I had been horrible cut by an attempt for murder. Healso explained that the person to attempted it was also severely hurt.

Alright, Sir. Where is your location?

We're at the Dakamotto Lake, the only entrance to the lake,

please hurry, my girlfriend is having a panic attack!Relax Sir, the ambulance is on its way!

Thank you! Rex hung up the phone, took me from Eric and held me

in his arms. Don't worry, sweetie Youll be alright! I promise! Heheld me against his body, trying to keep me relaxed. I shivered slightly as

the pain in my hand and chest worsened.R-Rex! I looked up at him. He just smiled, kissed my cheek and

watched as the ambulance pulled up.

9:10pmGet her in the truck! Well get the other one. One of the drivers

shouted as Rex carried me into the truck and placed me on what was a very

uncomfortable bed; Nicole passed out on the other one. Eric and David piled


28/28

in after Nicole was in.Someone inform Bell, Ray and Axell. Rex demanded to David but

he just looked at me and what I could remember was that I saw him cry.K---Kidomi He sobbed as I closed my eyes and slept until we

arrived at the hospital.

I was rushed into the emergency room with Bell beside me. Her,

Ray and Axell were the first at the hospital before the rest of us. Bellastood outside the emergency room, watching the surgeon stitch up my hand and

stitch up the hole in my chest. Eric, Ray and David joined up with Bell towatch the doctors work on my hand and chest.

Is she alright? David asked quietly. Bell nodded then sighed

sadly.Hows Rex holding up?

Hes pacing back and forth in the waitin
