Torn
chapter 7

-Ch 7-
I slowly walked down the dark isle of my church. It was so dark I couldn't even see where I was going. I was just walking. I opened the door to the confession room and sat down. The only light I had was a small candle light above the room. I sat there for a second and thought about what I was doing. I sighed a shaky sigh and looked at the holled window.
"Father...it's been a while since I confessed in this church." I said softly to the man on the other side on the window. I could see the shape of his face.
"Go on." he said.
"And I haven't been to church much at all for this past month." I continued.
"But..." my voice began to become very soar as I began to cry. I swallowed my emotions as much as I could but my voice was still cranky.
"I have lied to my mother and friends for all of my life...." hot tears dripped from my face. I slowly whiped them away.
"I had to break up w/ my girl friend for this problem. These lies are..just...tearing up my whole life....as a human."
Silence hit my thoughts.
"The truth is...I'm not from around her...at all....it...seems like....I am from a different world....and if I tell anyone about.....the real me....it could put them in danger.." more tears dripped from my eyes.
"About...3 years and 6 months ago...I ran away back to that world of mine and stayed there this whole time...I just got back and have been hiding from my mother and girlfriend ever since. " i doubt he could understand a word he was saying for how much I was crying.
The man quickly turned his face towards me. He pulled out a knife and stabbed through the window. The knife barely hit my arm and blood dripped all over my body.
"Ah!" I opened my eyes quickly to find myself under a tree in my backyard. I was in a position where I ws sleeping. It was a dream. All a dream. Wait! Could this whole thing that has happened to me be a dream?! I dashed to the window of my mother's kitchen. She wasn't there. I checked my watch. 7:15. Where was she? She doesn't go to work until 8:30. The hospital? I fell to my knees. It wasn't a dream. It was real. So real. I decided to go to a restaurant before later tonight.
"May I take your order?" the waitress asked.
"Um....I will have the chopsui don please with some green tea." I said putting my sunglasses on. I shouldn't get anyone to notice me.
"Alright then....it'll be right up." she left off to make my food. I laid my chin in my hands as I listened to the conversations from other people around me not making a peep.
"It's been 3 years and 6 months." a voice said from across the room. There were not that many people here.
"Yeah. Who would of known that Minamino-kun could run away for that long." Now that caught my attention.
I looked over to the direction to see who was talking about me. It was number 3 and four in the top school. They have been jelious of me for the whole time I was at this high school. I turned back around so they wouldn't suspect me.
The guy on the left took a sip of his green tea.
"He said on his note he was going back to where he belonged. Where do you think that is?" he asked.
"Who knows. There's no telling where that guy's been." the other guy said.
Well....isn't he Maya-Chan's boyfriend?" the other guy asked. The guy chocked on his tea.
"HE'S WHAT?!"
"Calm down Jason." the guy whispered.
Jason? I knew him. He was Maya's X-boy friend. She broke up with him to go out w/ me. Which did not bother me at all because he was a bigger pervert to her then how Yusuke was w/ Keiko. And I would of done the exact same. Now he is jelious and wants revenge. Heh! I see.
"But wait! I heard a rumor that he is back. Do you think it is true?" Jason's friend asked. Jason slammed his fist on the table.
"If it's true, I am gonna find him and beat him to the ground!" he shouted trying to keep his angry voice down.
Heh! That's funny! A makai yoko demon vs a little ningen. You and what army dude? I sipped my grean tea and set the chopsticks in my hand prepared to eat.
"Well maybe you should ask Maya about it first?" his friend asked.
I narrowed my eyes over to them. Maya wouldn't tell would she? Could she tell me deepest secret and put everyone in danger. Can I really trust her?
"You're right." Jason stood up and laid his ten dollar bill on the table. "Let's just go find out for ourselves." he headed out the door. I placed a 50 dollar bill on the table and followed them. This scene took away my apatite.
I followed them down the side walk to Maya's house. What if they recognize me. I began to think of a plan. I pulled out my hands from my pockets and found a pony tail holder of my Kasaan's. I quickly put my hair into a long braid and fastened the holder onto it. No one could notice me w/ this style.
