My life with a Famous Mom・

Special: I needed you but you werent there (Part 1)

I couldn't speak well..so I didn't understand what he had said. So when he hit my shoulder, I was really confused.

I'm not deaf..nor am I blind. But I just am really dumb I guess.

I'm a sorcerer. I'm meant to be one. But how can I be one if I'm not smart? That was what urged me to get smarter. Not just that.

But the glares from my father and the constant bullying and blame from my older sister Juliane.

Of course I never minded anything because I thought I deserved it. After all,

I'm not even his real child. I'm a child who was born from a cheat.

I got up quickly and ran away. The boys laughed as I ran.

I ran and ran and ran until I was out of breath and felt like dying. I sat behind a large, flat piece of metal.

I didn't want to be seen.

I weeped my eyes out. I told myself I didn't mind.

But did I really not mind?

Did I feel even the slightest bit of anger at the two boys or anything that has happened in my life until that point?

No. I didn't. Because I had taught myself to not mind anything. And I had taught myself that because I wanted my dad to love me. I thought by not minding anything, he would call me nice or kind or anything like that.

But no.

It's always, 'clean up the house' or 'be nice to your sister."

But that's okay..I don't mind.

I don't mind anything. I don't mind any of it.

I don't mind.

I don't mind

I don't mind.

I cried and cried under that same flat metal roof for a while..and it was soon night.

"Hey kiddo! Oh no! Why are you crying?!" A woman worried as she approached me. She wiped the tears off my face.

"I was crying because I just hurt my foot." I sniffled. That was a lie. I'd rather not blame it on the boys' bullying. I know how hurtful blaming can be and I don't want to be the cause of it.

"Oh no, dearie! Let me help. Are you alone?" The woman exclaimed and leaned down with a wipe and a bandage to help me. She wiped the spot that I said was hurt (though it really wasn't) and put the bandage on it.

"U-uh..yes, miss. I'm a-alone." I didn't lie this time.

"That's terrible dearie! I'm going to sit here with you until your guardian comes back."

"U-umm no need miss. Please, I wouldn't want you to waste your time on me!"a

She ignored me and sat next to me, under that flat metal roof.

"So, what's your name, kiddo?"

"I'm Ak-Akari. How about you miss..?"

"Oh, my name? Aren't you a kind one? I'm Symphony Arthur! Please just call me Symphony though dearie!" She smiled softly.

"Thank you Symphony..for helping me."

"Of course, kiddo! So kiddo, if you don't mind me asking, why are you here alone? Where's your daddy or mommy? What's been going on in your life dearie?"

Finally.

Some I could tell everything to.

Even if she was just a stranger.

But that's what they say, don't they?

'Strangers are the best secret-keepers' ?

"Well, that's certainly a lot of answers to give. My mother cheated on my father a long time ago and she left. I'm not sure where she is now. My father doesn't love me cause I'm not his real child. So, he doesn't care for me or anything. I'm lucky he hasn't left me on the streets yet. I have an older sister. Her name's Juliane. She's a bully. She blames me for the separation of our parents. But..but..I d-don't mind any of it though." I said that with a smile and a tear falling down my cheek.

"Darling, of course you should mind it! I'm feel so terrible knowing you, an innocent five-year-old girl who's done nothing wrong, is getting all this. If you don't mind Akari, do you want to live with me? I have a daughter your age and I feel that you'll both get along well. It's fine if you don't want to but I cannot leave you there!"

Another tear fell down my cheek.

My savior, she's here.

Whoever helped me, thank you. Thank you so much.

"I would love that." I truly smiled happily and my eyes flooded with tears.

And that was the way I had found my way out of that outcast house.

And I was the outcast.

But not anymore.

Goodbye, father. Goodbye, Juliane.

Thanks for all you've given me.

Not.

A/N (author's note) :

Hey everyone!! This is the first chapter of Akari's backstory 'I needed you but you weren't there'

Yes it's long, I know.

What do you think'll happen next? I'd like to hear your opinions on what you think will happen next! (Most likely none of these'll be used in her backstory cause I've already got it all arranged)

And yes, I 💗 my characters SOO much that I torture them all the time *mwahahaaha*

Anyway, byee!
