I don't remember what happened afterwards but all I know is that I woke up in a hospital,I woke up because the doctors were panicking and talking loudly.
They said something like "WE'RE SLOWLY LOSING HER, WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING" As I heard the word "she" I quickly got up and went to the patient.
Turns out that the patient was my mom, I watched her dead body laying still on the hospital bed.
Tearing up, I knew that it was too late and that she was dying but deep down I still hoped that she will be alright.
"Can you save her? Is there really no way to save her?" I asked, and the answer I heard wasn't the one I hoped for.
"sorry son, we did everything we could." Hearing those words msde me start crying, The doctors were tearing up as well... For the first time I saw doctors cry.
The Doctor patted my shoulder gently and said " I'm sorry son, Is there any relative that you can stay with?"
My answer was obviously no.. As soon as I left the room I started crying silently...
As I was walking in the halls, The kid that saved me noticed that I was leaving so he started following me.
"Are you okay?" he asked, Of course I wasn't alright, my mom just died. But I couldn't vent to anyone so I just lied instead...
"Yeah I'm alright,thank you for your help" I bowed down. "Liar." he said. "Lift your head up" as I slowly lifted my head up I saw him looking worried.
"Look at you, You can't be alright. You're literally crying your soul out." I didn't notice that I was crying, maybe because I got used to it.
"Huh? Me?" I started to wipe my tears off but instead more tears came out. "You're crying, and you have all the rights to do so.
Your mom died, I know how you feel. My mom died too,but she died in a car crash. I already made myself understand that I couldn't do anything to help her.
Death is a scary thing,but that's how life works... You're born,you live,you age and you die."
"I cried so much that I don't have any tears left anymore. I cried them all at my mom's funeral".
As I heard his story,I nodded and started to feel bad for him. "What about your dad?" He said that his dad was also in the car with his mom when the incident happened.
"I know it's kind of weird to ask this question right now,I know it's not the right time but do you want to be friends,well not friends but maybe family?" I got confused.
"F-family?" "yes family,we can be like brothers. And take care of each other. We don't have anyone else anyways" It wasn't a bad idea to be honest.I agreed with him.
Starting from that day,Me and Riku became brothers,we spent a lot of time together. Made lots of memories.
I even remember the day when I got jumped by some teenage kids, I got made fun of and pushed by them. As Riku saw them he quickly actioned.
But that didn't change anything. We both got beat up pretty bad hahah... I'm not surprised,the age gap was quite big, we were both 10 and the bullies were 16 and 17
....Good memories...
One day we went for a swim in a lake, I remember that i almost lost my bathing suit in the lake,but Riku quickly grabbed my bathing suit and gave it to me.
After that we realised that there was fish in the lake. We then started catching fish,after a while we caught four or five big fishes and went home to cook them.
"Let's thank God for the food he gave us and for the fact that we are still alive and healthy." We then started eating our food.
He was a big eater, he ate 3 fishes and he still wasn't full. I didn't share mine of course. But he still managed to get one, luckily we only ended up splitting it in half.
That guy ate three and a half fishes that day while I ate one and a half. And I was full,no jokes.
Good memories ey? Sadly they don't last long. We both got really successful at the age of fourteen.
Riku was the most successful one, In genereal, Riku was really smart and he always got everything if he wanted it really bad. That was a good quality until he got the taste of having power.
There were times where he even reminded me of that bastard.
As he was the owner of a company, I was his right hand of course. I didn't know what kind of business was happening.
But I couldn't bother much, as long as I made money so I could survive. Nothing mattered, Until one day, Riku told me to take a day off and stay home.
I was confused but I still did what I was told. As he left. I layed in bed,looking at the ceiling but I was still confused because of what Riku said.
So I got up and left as well, trying to find him. To see what's actually happening. As I was wandering through the city, I happened to walk into a dark alley.
I heard lots of voices and screams at the end of the alley, as I quietly walked towards the noises,The noises got louder and louder As soon as I heard "How should we get rid of the body sir?"
I tried to run away but my body couldn't move, soon I got caught and ambushed by some guys.
I punched one of them but still managed to get stabbed in the stomach. I quickly ran where I heard those voices but what happened after was even worse.
More guys appeared and they all ambushed me. I got trapped, there was a dead end. Those guys had weapons on them. I knew that my time came.
But then I heard a familiar voice. As that figure got closer to me I felt happiness "Riku" I said.
But before I even finish saying his name,a gun got pointed at my face. "I told you to stay home Kirito." Scared of my life,confused as hell I said "eh?" He then clacks the gun.
"Didn't I tell you to stay home?" "You did,but it seemed suspicious so I tried to find out what was happening" he then looked at me and outy his gun away.
He then said"Ohh so you wanted to see what's happening huh?" "Do you know why I never told you about our business? It's because I knew you wouldn't act the same if you'd find out what I do for a living"As I got confused I looked at him and said.
"Huh? What do you do?" his answer shocked me."I kill people for money, people hire me to kill other people, basically like a Hitman. Human traficking,criminalism... Now that you know everything,you can't tell anyone,but anyone. "
"I won't!" I looked at the dead bodies beside me in disgust and sadness,such innocent people getting killed..
"I know you won't Kirito..." He points the gun at me. "It's true that I treated you like a family but deep inside,I'm empty. A machine ,I only kill. And you Kirito,will be my next victim.
