The moment I saw her she looked my way and we locked eyes, I then laid beside her and started to gaze up at the stars. I then asked her why she was here, she said that she doesn't really like home. " Home isn't a place I enjoy much". I then said, " I know how that feels, I am still running away from home"
I then looked at her, at that moment she was so beautiful, the stars that shined looked dull compared to her eyes. She then teased me for looking at her. Ii then looked at the time and I realized a few hours had already passed, I then asked her if she had anything going on the next morning like work or school. She replied negative.
I then asked her if she wanted to swing by my place for a few drinks because I didn't have morning class the next day. At first she was shocked from my boldness, she then answered sure and we went to the convenient store for some drinks. When we got to my place, I was kinda embarrassed because I hadn't cleaned up yet and there was a mountain of papers full with lyrics on the ground. As she grabbed a paper, she read it and said it sounded beautiful. I was kinda embarrassed but also kinda proud to be complimented
That night I got while we were drinking, she got really drunk and asked me about my sliced wrists, normally people would notice but not really ask only children would dare to ask. That night I was also kinda tipsy but was still functioning but I still answered her, I told her about my past, the moment I told her I instantly sobered up and realized what I said and started hyperventilating, I then rushed to the kitchen and grabbed my med, I then took them and ran back and laid on my bed, Ayumi then hugged me from behind, I was surprised but I also felt the warmth and the stress that was building up dispersed.
The next thing I remember is waking up in the morning with a head spliting headache and Ayumi hugging me. As I looked at her, even tho her hair was dishevelled, she still looked beautiful, I brushed away a hair strand from her face and just stared at her. I then got out of bed and looked at the time, it was only 9 am so I prepared some hangover foods and also got a few hangover pills from the cabinet. I then woke her up, I greeted her gently and told her to have some breakfast.
After breakfast I headed off to campus, during a lesson my professor announced that the finals were coming up. During that time, I didn't really care much about finals and was only focused writing. After last night, I seemed to had a pop of inspiration and I felt like anything and everything I wrote was amazing. After an hour of 2 of now paying attention, the school day was already over and my new song was almost complete. I then went to work, during my break I finally finish the song. Later Ayumi finally showed up for her little brother and I ask her to rate my song. I handed her the lyrics and she started reading. She said it sounded amazing and is looking forward to the new song.
As months passed by, one day she gotten really drunk and told me about how she was abused and beaten basically everyday as a kid and teen that why she hated home.
" When I was about 11 my dad had lost his job so my mom had to go to work early and go home late everyday". While my mom was at work, he would pick either my sister or me to be beaten. This went on for many years and I ended up with tons of scars across my body.
We also didn't dare to tell mom because she also didn't like us much and constantly said I was a burden to our family. When my mom couldn't take it anymore, she just left home and never came back. My sister and I both made a promise to always to warn the other when seeing dad drink so that we could hide.
That dad, I saw dad drinking, I tried to rush to my sister's room but was noticed by him, he then grabbed me started beating me, he then grabbed the glass bottle he was using and hit me with it. As I passed out I could only hear the scream of my sister. The next thing I knew I woke up in a hospital bed and my sister was beside me crying. I was also told that my dad was arrested.
From that day on both my sister and me lived alone because all our relatives were no where to be seen. My sister had to take up multiple part time jobs and ended up getting a career in music. Her sister was also the artist that gave me a shout out. As I sat there shocked. I hugged her and said it is alright now he is no longer here.
