5 Years Ago...
"Hey Eureka!!! WAIT FOR ME!"
"Hi Shia! Sorry for leaving quickly I planned to do something after-school today."
"Something? What do you have planned?"
*Grins* "I'll tell you on our way there. Let's go before we miss the bus."
"Okay!"
"Make sure you kids all have your seat belts on!"
"Soooo what was the rush about earlier Eureka?"
"Shia please don't tell anyone this alright. I really trust you."
I wonder how Shia will react. Hopefully she supports me or gives me advice on what to do. That's all I need from her, a good reaction.
"I promise I won't"
"I'm planning to leave my family. I will continue to finish highschool with you Shia, so it won't affect us much."
"Leave? You're only sixteen Eureka. Are you sure leaving your family will make you happy?"
Leaving will make me happy. My family has made me happy before. However there were more sad moments than good ones. I barely remember the fun we had. Celebrating birthdays and holidays began to feel different. As if every day were the same. Even in depressing times I always tried to mend our relationships. I'm the black sheep in the family. My sibling makes it obvious. Bickering and teasing making me the bad guy. I'm glad I met Shia I was able to escape family matters.
"I know sixteen is a young age to move out, but I'll find a job save up money and get a small place. Leaving will make me happy things have changed Shia."
"I see..."
"Shia is something wrong?"
"No, I'm just surprised. You always looked so happy and you barely spoke to me about your problems. Just know I will support your choice and if you need any help..."
"Don't worry about helping me I'll be fine. Having you by my side was enough to help me get through my problems."
*SMILES*
"Thank you so much Shia, for everything."
*BLUSHES*
"You're welcome Eureka. I have to go my stop is here. See you next week and good luck!"
"HEY KID HURRY UP AND GET OFF THE BUS!!!"
"See ya Shia!"
I should get some homework done since my stop is last. Then When I get home I'll start packing.
*BUZZ*
Shia is already calling?
"Hey, What's Up?"
"Eu..re..ka"
"Dad is that you? The connection is bad in the bus. I'll call you back later."
"NO"
"Okay I'll stay on the call. Hey dad I'm getting off. Where are you?"
"RIGHT HERE"
*Thwack*
Crap my head what is going on. Dad? It was a call from Shia in the first place. Why did he...
*Thwack*
*THUD*
"Wake up WAKE UP YOU BRAT"
"Ugh my head.."
"SHUT UP Your head should be the least of your concerns. Now listen here I want you to leave your belongings and go from away from here. NOW"
Did I hear him correctly "You want me to start from scratch?"
"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING EUREKA "
It can't be true. If it is I'd leave now but it's probably getting dark .
"Can I stay the night? I'll be gone by tomorrow morning."
"PWFFTTT HAHA How pathetic. After all the punches I gave you. You still don't understand. Eureka get off my property here and now . You should also thank that friend of yours. She called telling me how you should be treated better. Your mother and I knew we went wrong with you somewhere so do us a favor and leave got it?"
"O-Okay..." *hic-gasp* "Am I able to say goodbye to the place before I go. Please, I beg you just please."
"You have five minutes"
hic- sigh "Th-thank you"
My head is still throbbing, and the bleeding is slowing down. I didn't expect to be hit by a metal pole. I think I can manage to make it to my room. I just need to get the money from all my past jobs. I'll live off of those for now. This plan was a failure.
"Okay I have the money, I should have space in my backpack for a few things...."
"Eureka is that you? "
*Knocks* "Why did you tell your friend how we treat you? You know it's for your own good."
I have to get out of here before she sees me. I'll escape through the window. Here goes nothing...
*SHATTER * I can't worry about the pain no matter what I have to keep moving .
"EUREKA EXPLAIN YOURSELF YOU'RE WORRYING ME"
*HUFF HUFF* I finally crossed the house gate. I just need to go a little further. I'll follow the road that leads into the city.
*COLLAPSES*
*muffled* "Hello? Hey you all right? Hey.."
*GASPS* "Where, Who are you?"
"Haha Sorry for taking you in like that. We are heading to Tind it's a small city with a hospital. To get you checked out. My name is Tsuiseki. I'm glad you are okay. After losing that much blood. You should sit back and relax we have another hour till we arrive."
"Thank you Mr. Tsuiseki, how much is the ride."
"It's free of course!" *smiles* No need to be so formal either we might be around the same age. Tell me a bit about yourself."
"My name is Eureka, age 16 thank you again for helping me I was running away from home."
"WOW two years older than me and no problem! I guess it's a good thing I found you on the road. I thought you were a dead animal."
"Yeah"
"Well get some rest Eureka I'll wake you in the morning"
This was just the beginning of Eureka and Tsuiseki's story.
