Mine, Now And Forever

What I want is to be by your side

Beam POV

 I walked down the aisle of my house.  I'm getting used to my new environment.  The world that I think is more "real".  There is no large park to play, no deer to feed, no library full of books to read.  And there is no forth to be missed every night.  Even though he always calls me and I will meet him at school, I can't look at the balcony of his room every night and hope he will come out and look at my room.

 I stood on the side of the road and looked at my cell phone.  7 o'clock in the morning.  Forth should have come.  I stared at the restless streets but before long a mercy sedan appeared on the street.  The glass opens when the car is near.  Forth pulled out half his body and greeted me.

 "Beamy!"  he shouted happily with his stupid smile.  I pay attention to my surroundings.  Hope no one sees his stupid behavior.

 "Shut up," I said, pushing him in.

 "Morning Uncle" I say to the Forth's driver.  Uncle Lee greeted me kindly.

 "I miss you," Forth said, hugging my hand tightly.

 I have to admit, I miss him too.  Usually Forth will tease me every morning and have breakfast with me.  This morning, breakfast feels different.  So quiet, me and my parents did not say much. But of course I did not admit it.  I looked at him sharply and said

 "Get used to it because I won't always be by your side"

 "Why?"  he asked, not accepting.

 I sighed and rolled my eyes "Because someday you will get married and have a family, so will I. We will be busy with our lives"

 My words made Forth pout "I wouldn't get married if I wasn't with you," he said.  I choked on my spit.  I looked at him sharply.

 "You can't do it. You're the only heir of the Jamornhum Family," I said.  Forth snorted

 "They can make other children. I don't ask to be an only child," he said irritably.  I rolled my eyes.  It's no use talking to Forth.  

 Along the road to school, Forth told me about Japan.  Last semester, he went to Japan with his parents.  He said he wanted to take me to Hokkaido to see the snow and go to the hot spring.  He looks excited.  I did not say anything.  Just looked at him who spoke with enthusiasm.  He looks different.  More looks mature, more handsome, and muscular.  I curse my mind.  He would make junior or senior female students at Kasetrat High School go crazy.

 I bit my lower lip while listening to him talk at length.  We will enter high school this year.  This time too I hope for the same thing every year.  I wish I could at least be in the same class as him.  It doesn't matter if he dates anyone.  Being able to see it every day is enough for me.

 "Shit. I forgot that they randomize our chairs every year," Forth said when we got to the lobby.  Every year the school will put the name of the student in each new class on the LED announcement board in the lobby and send it to each other's email as well.  Everyone stops in the lobby but the teachers tell them to enter the auditorium to welcome new students.  We sat and checked each other's emails.

 "Ten one," Forth said

 "Ten five," said Earth, disappointed

 They both looked at me and Lam in turns

 "One," I replied

 Forth smiled broadly and shouted "Yes!"  while hugging me.  Everyone looked at us but as usual, Forth didn't care.
