Two: Running Away is an Option

Here's the second chap! Please let me know if the story's good, okay? Feel free to rate, vote and comment! >:D<

**********************************************************************************

River ran toward me, crying. Not again. It pains me to see him crying, for he's still so young! In his young age, he's already seeing the horryfying realities of this world. I do hope he won't mess up when he grows up. Of course, I won't let that happen.

"What's wrong, buddy? You running away? Did they hurt you?" I asked.

"Bill said mom was crazy! So I kick him. Then teacher got mad, she said I am bad. I said no! Bill is bad! Then she said she will call Daddy. I said Daddy will not answer, Daddy don't care!" He was really crying hard. Damn, I've gotta stop myself from tearing up, too.

"Did Daddy answer?"

"Yeah. But only Jim came. He said Daddy is working. So I ride inside the car. I went home and saw Mommy. She was laughing. I ran to her, and told her that Bill said she was crazy. Then she got mad. And she shouted at me to go away. So I ran outside the house to look for you." Dammit. I really hate my father. An irresponsible father who only cares about the money he could make, and how he can be the number one in his game. How dare he send just Jim, can't he drive the car himself, so he could comfort River?

By the way, Jim is our driver. And also body guard. We love him, he looks like a bouncer, and that's what's so awesome about him. He's black, literally huge, and semi-bald cut. (I dunno what's it called)

I hugged River tight. I told him that everything will be fine, and we headed home.

Of course, we were really hungry. Thank God Lea's here. She's the best cook ever, and she could cook anything you asked her to. Cheesecake, crepe, lasagna, name it.

"Lea, anything to fill our tummies, please."

"How 'bout Sweet & Sour fish fillet and some pudding?"

"That's great, thanks."

I let River play with Duke, our golden retriever. He's very loyal, with his two sons, Bacon and Edge. Pretty weird names, huh? I remember once, when River was drowning in the pool, and Lea was cooking something, I was sleeping, mom and dad were working. The kitchen is literally on the other side of the house, so no one heard River.

He tried to jump, and unfortunately, he landed in the part where the pool is 5 feet high. He was shouting and shouting, gasping for breath, when Duke came to the rescue. He jumped in the pool, swam to River, and bit River's trunks, and held him until they reached the stairs. River was unconcious when he landed on the stairs, and Duke was jumping around, barking. He went inside the house, and barked at Lea. Lea was in the middle of cooking, and thought Duke only craved attention. He bit Lea's dress, but was only rewarded with a kick. Duke gave up and went upstairs, and he started to bang at my door. I frantically opened it because he was about to destroy my door, and he looked like he wanted to lead me to something, so I followed him.

That's when I saw the unconcious River. I gave him CPR, and fortunately, it wasn't too late. I'm also glad River didn't have any traumas. Actually, me and mom enrolled him into swimming classes, and he's now a better swimmer than me.

I stayed in my room, while waiting for Lea to call me for dinner. I lay down my bed, and stared at those stars on my ceiling. There's also the word Carol in it, as she requested. They all glow in the dark, so I reached for the remote and turned off the lights. Yes, remote controlled lights.

Then I heard the Banana and Potato song. "BA BA BA BA BA NA NA.." I remembered not having my phone for the whole day, which is weird. So I hunted for it, found it in the bathroom.. Hehe. I use my phone for music while I take a bath, okay.
