Chapter 2 (1/2)
“Dead?”
“Yes, you’ll be dead!”
“Dead?”
“Are you deaf? Or do you really just need ain?”
“I don’t know if that’s possible since I already died,” she said those words as if she was telling him that he answered 3 to a 1+1 question
“Look,” Eros placed his hands on both of the wo his patience which he actually only had a few of, “I don’t knohat kind of drugs you’ve taken or who ht have hit your head hard on a wall, but there’s only one thing that I can say to you, leavesonewhere Okay?”
He was just about to turn around and coet the hell out of her company, but then she quickly held on to the back of his t-shi+rt, thereby stopping him
“Wait, wait! Please believe el!”
“You’re really pissingdevil so there’s no way in this fucking world that you’re el, understood?”
She only shook her head as she bit her lower lip Eros thought that she looked like a ten year old in a body of a 17-18 year old girl She was sht, her head only reached his shoulders
“You’re not a devil and I won’t let you be one It’s my mission to save you”
“The fuck is with thistimes”
He noticed that she flinched everytioing to bring any harht, irritated
“Change you, make you believe that God does exist and that He will always be there for you, put love in your heart, make you a person full of happiness and warain to his t-shi+rt, this tihtly while her head was bowed, “please help me to accomplish this mission, this is not only for you but also for me”
He was confused
“If ever I succeed in this ive me back the life I’ve lost and I really, really do want to live again so please…”
“Nah, I don’t care,” he roughly rerip on his t-shi+rt and this tiht that the longer he stayed with her, the more fake stories she would come up with
“Change me? Make me believe there’s a God? Put love in my heart? Make me a person full of happiness and war Hitler is a nice person!” He laughed He couldn’t help saying those words in his mind
“Eros!” He heard her calling his na her He didn’t like wasting his precious tiirl he just encountered… Although he really wondered how she knew his naht
“I can grant you a wish!+ Anything you wish for, you could wish for anything based on the aoodness you will be able to obtain in your heart!”
“Anything?” He didn’t knohy but whe he heard her say that he stopped walking and got interested on that crazy topic
“Yeah…”
“So, can I wish to have superpowers and laserbeairl could only give him a look of disbelief so he waved his hands and said, “yeah, yeah, whatever, I’ain”
He felt a sense of relief when he reached his house at around six o’clock He just spent his day sirl that claiel didn’t reappear the rest of the day
He really thought she’d follow hi like some creepy stalker Phew
He didn’t actually come back to that house, to their house He wasn’t a part of the fa there… He was an adopted child He didn’t knohere his real parents were, or if they were still alive, or if they irated to Mars, but like hell did he care about them He only went home when his older sister Risa was there Of all people she was the only she was the only person he didn’t get angry or irritated at The same went for Chill, his not blood-related little sister, a blood kin of Ate Risa[1] He didn’t knohy he felt nothing unpleasant around therown this sort of attachment to them, especially to Ate Risa because ever since he was a kiddo she had already stood up as a big loving sister to him even if she kneell that he wasn’t really her real brother
He was trying his best to come back to that house more often these days, why? It was for Ate Risa He wanted to see herShe had only coo back there despite her very sick state The doctors said that she only had a little more to stay in this world, it was less than a month
Maybe that was one of the reasons why he didn’t believe in a God
“If God does exist, why does he have to take the only person I care for in this world? He must know very well that my life is already full of hate and if I lose Ate Risa… then I would say that my life would not just be full of hate, but it would be overflowing,” he thought
“Dashi+ng through the snoith a one horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way!
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun is it to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight!”
Eros could only vaguely hear what so outside of their house since he was in his roo his t-shi+rt What the fuck? Christmas was already done as well as New Year, and so? It wqs almost the second week of January!
“We don’t have money, fuck, don’t you have a calendar at your house!? Motherfucker, it’s already January! Stop playing tricks! Go kill yourself if you’re bored and stop disturbing us!” He shouted at whoever was caroling from hisHe did not take the ti
It only got quiet for a while before the low life started singing again
“Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh!”
Mother of-!
Annoyed, Eros stor stone as he passed the house’s garden, and with the stone in hand he warned whoever was caroling, “alright, go and sing one more time, and this stone will replace your vocal chords”
“Hi Eros!” The girl grinned, eyes closed with a peace sign
“You again? How did you- are you so up here and there, are you stalking irl?!”
“I’ him puppy eyes, “hey, hey, Eros, can I come in? Please, please, please, please?”
“You knohat, I’ve had enough of you and your insanity, so let’s test that fucking protection thing you said before,” he was about to throw the stone he was holding in annoyance at the girl he was talking to and beat her up He didn’t really have the best temper in the world
“Eros?” He was about to throw the stone, but then he quickly dropped it on the floor when he heard the familiar voice that uttered his name
