Chapter Five

No ones POV:

"Ah.... Right... My name is Aakesh." He said with a shrug.

"Never heard that name before. Where are you from?" I asked curious.

"Well my mum is Indian and my dad is African..  Cant quite remember where though....."

"So I'm guessing your mother named you?" I questioned, my response being a nod of approval.

"Well i guess this is goodbye then.. Which way are you going? Im going this way" Aakesh pointed in the direction I'd take to go home

"Well I'm going that was too so... Lets go?" I asked awkwardly.

..............

"See ya around Y/n! I'll call you when I'm free kay?!"

I walked up the staircase and stood in front of the door, dread settling in me.

Walking inside, i gasped taking in my surroundings. I was gone for like what? A day?

And the place was already completely trashed. Beer bottles were scattered all over the kitchen floor. I stomped towards my mother's room after taking a knife fron the kitchen and slammed the door open.

At this point i didn't even care about the fact that some random dude was on top of her.

Pointing the knife at the older man, a menacing and deadly glare on my face i shouted at him, "GET THE HELL OUT!"

The man quickly pulled out of the woman under him, grabbed his clothes and ran past me.

In my rage, i made sure to kick him really hard with my shoe as he ran past me like the wind.

"The hell is all this? S/n and I are out of this place for like what? A day? And just look at you!

You know, i can't and don't even bother defending you when Ghost calls you a slut.

You're always all over men! WHAT KIND OF MOTHER ARE YOU HUH?!?" i yelled.

"I DIDNT ASK FOR ANY OF YOU TO BE BORN! HOW WOULD I KNOW THE PROTECTION WOULDNT WORK HUH?!

YOU'RE BOTH JUST A PAIN IN MY ASS!"

"Oh okay.... Have fun with catching STDs!" I yelled throwing the knife which nearly hit her head.

She stared at me with fear in her eyes, hands shaking as she felt her face for any cuts.

"You know, some people really dont deserve to be parents.... Youre obviously an example. I said, walking away to the park nearby.

"If only that old man has fucking pressed yes this would have never happened! I would've at least had s chance!!" I yelled, kicking a stone in pure anger.

Sighing in defeat, i sat on one of the benches, enjoying the silence....

I didn't even realize i fell asleep.

..............

"Thank you! Come again!" I smiled at a customer.

"Y/n dear...... Please come here for a moment.." Mrs. Han said in a low tone, startling me.

"Did i do something wrong? Are you going to fire me? Please don't i really need this job!" I bowed nervously.

"Sweetheart, I'm not firing you. I just wanted to know the situation with your mother.

I have an empty room in my home!" She said

I stared at her confused. Is she asking me what i think she is?

"How would you like to live with me? I'm already lonely at home as it is, and i consider you my granddaughter.

I can't just stand here and watch you suffer like this." She smiled sadly at me.

"I-"

"Take your time dear. I'm not going to pressure you for an answer just yet. Think about it okay?

Now shoo! Back to work young lady!" She laughed while shooing me away.

My smile turned upside down once i realized that we'd only be a bother.

I heard the cafe door open and a man walked in towards me.

"Hello sir, what can I get you?" I smiled at him, my attempt at being polite to the weird man.

He simply placed a card on the counter, and walked off.

I nearly choked on air once i saw the card. "Are we going back to play again?"

I wasnt going to think twice about it this time. I'm not going to burden Mrs. Han.... I can't do that to her.

I placed the card in my pocket and decided to call my new friend after work.

...............

6:30pm.

The clock on my screen read. I had phoned Aakesh and we had agreed to meet at the local park.

I walked towards the destined place and saw a person dressed in all black with a cap on their head.

Upon hearing my footsteps, the person turned around and a smile found its way onto my face.

"Yo!" I smiled at him, but he didn't return it. My smile immediately turned upside down once i took a better look at his face.

The bruises on his face seemed to multiply, he had bags under his eyes and in all, he looked tired.

"Wha-"

"Are you going back?" He suddenly asked me seriously.

I nodded slowly and sat on the bench beside him, sighing.

"Its not like i have a choice. If i want to survive then I'd have to."

"Why did you join the games in the first place anyway?" He questioned, sitting next to me.

".......my mum is a terrible person. My sister and I don't even have the same father.

That bitch acts like we don't even exist, leaving her 16 year old daughter to take care of herself and her little sister.

What does she do in her free time you ask? Sleeping around with zero shame.

I ended up taking loans from a particular guy and now he's out to get me if i don't pay soon..." I ranted, fuming at the thought of my life.

"What about you?"

He stayed silent for about a minute, staring into space before speaking up.

"My parents moved here to have a better life. Everything was perfect, i had a little sister too, she was only two....

When our mother died. After that our father became abusive, both verbally and physically.

When you saw me you probably thought i was a stick man right?" He directed his question to me with a sad look on his face.

I hesistated before answering with a small nod. He chuckled bitterly and continued with his story, leaving me confused with his random question.

"I woke up one day and he was gone. He took my sister with him.

I don't even know whether she's alive right now.....

I was always interested in fashion and arts in general. Currently I'm staying with a nice old lady who owns her own clothing shop.

I took a bunch of loans when her business started failing, got involved with dangerous people and now here I am...."

I stayed silent as i watched him look at the sky with a blank expression.

"Wanna go back together?" I suddenly asked.

".....sure.... At least we're friends now... We can protect each other in that hell hole.....

But.....

There's something i want us to do....."
