Bom POV

Those freakin hair!! Why can’t you look normal???

I had to tie it up and show my face… too girly…  just no more s at school today… please…

I walked down and saw the cook with sandwiches again… I felt awkward when I saw his shocked face…

 “Thanks for the meal…” I said for the first time since years and grabbed paper bag he was holding. That made him open up his mouth even wider. Tsk…

I was on my way to walk outside when he shouted after me “Bom-ah your father wants to see you today after school!” I stopped right away.

“What?!” I asked in anger. “What the hell he wants from me?? I don’t know when I’ll be back!” I shouted and slammed the door.

What’s with him?? Suddenly he remembered about my existence??

I would never forget what he have done when I needed him the most…

I remember being so sad… I wanted to die.. I needed him so much but he wasn’t home… only kept drinking… I was too small to understand what happened with mom…

He didn’t talk with me… Whenever he looked at my face with his cold eyes I felt like someone was tearing my heart into pieces… I was slowly falling into the darkness…

It was a day like any other in my hopeless life… I remember standing in front of the sink in our old house’s bathroom and washing my hands… was I injured?? I don’t know … but there was red water streaming down…

I couldn’t catch my breath from crying so much…

I heard dad coming. I can still feel how scared I was when he saw me…

I don’t know why but… he run to me and sharply pushed my down after seeing blood on my wrist he slapped my face…

That made me lose all my hopes … My heart was shattered… The only person that I cared and was longing for treated me like that… I stopped feeling anything…

I was barely seeing him since that time… One of our neighbors, an old grandma was looking after me... but I never talked to her…

Now I know what he did that…  Well… I hope I know… He thought that I was going to commit suicide… but how could he think like that?? I was to young…

I can’t remember where was that blood from…

I was walking down the main street with earphones on.  I had to pass the bridge above railway tracks to get to school. I was going up the stairs when something got my attention.

A small, around 4 years old girl with cute, apple hairstyle was grasping her mom’s hand. They were 3 meters in front of me smiling at each other. I felt my heart squeezing…

My life could’ve look like that… 

Damn… now I have to look for a tissue …. I put my hand inside the school bag and started looking for it. “Aouchh!” my fingers touched something sharp. Neglecting the pain I pulled it out… that necklace… To stop haemorrhage I decided to my index finger…

Now I had to dry my tears and clean blood from the necklace. However when I was about to do it… my blood turned into black smoke… What is this sorcery???

Suddenly  I saw a cherry blossom floating right in front of my eyes... I looked around… there aren’t any cherry trees here…

I sighed and decided to move ahead… but then I saw that little girl cresting the bench near barrier while her mother was talking with someone at the moment…

“Yah!!!” I yelled, put that necklace on and run to save that child. “Stop right there!!!” I shouted but that girl was already venturing above the barrier.

I run for life … I jumped on that bench and gently pushed her … Thank God  it wasn’t too late I thought when she
