Home... family....

I was not really rich and spoiled and nor was I poor. My mother would usually jokingly say ah my aiko.

"Aiko means beloved son"

I would take pride in that as I sometimes didn't act lady like. I loved to prank and play tricks on my father and mother. They told me to only do it at home for it was badevery where else.

I would often hear my parents fight... I never understood why. But, after my dad had said "enough!" he packed his bags and left for good. I never saw him after that horrible night and I never would as my mother promised me that.

My mom said that she would provide for us from that day on. I was only small at that time and didn't understand what had happened to the family. I never saw my mom a lot after that . It was hard for me to adjust to the change. I was always an only child and never got to socialize with anyone once my mom left for work.

I loved to read other than prank my mom. I stayed in the best friends house. His name was Akio. Akio senpai was very smart as his name means intelligent. He would usually jokingly say that if we were older he would marry me and make me happy forever.

"yeah right you couldn't even walk me to school because u said it was to cold." -Yua

"Thanks for reminding me about that."-Akio

I would later walk home with my mom and cat. I always looked at all the happy families smiling and laughing. I never asked Mom what happened to dad or to where he went because everytime I asked she would look away and tears would fall off her cheeks.

"mother do you want to go to the schools open house tomorrow night?"-Yua

"oh... I'm sorry honey but I can't I have 3 part time jobs scheduled for tomorrow night and next weekend sorry honey"-mom

I would never push it. My mom always said that if she had a lot of work to not bother her with my silly games and that she would've appreciated it. I loved my mother but she had a bad habit of bring men home. Once she had a lot of fun at work that she went to bars and didn't come back until a week or so later.
