12 years later...

Promise
Chapter 2 The morning sun peered through the curtains and I groggily sat up in my bed. Rubbing my eyes I peered over my shoulder and glanced at the empty bed beside my own. I never changed the order of my room, in hope that one day when I wake up she will be there... that was 12 years ago. When I made my way down the stairs, dad was already gone. I heated up some porridge and leaned against the counter while downing it. I was out of the house ten minutes before my school bell, I knelt and tightened my shoe laces. The n=morning breeze was cool as I ran to school, waving at the old ahjussi as I passed the local milkbar. Entering the classroom for me was unnoticeable as I accidently slammed the door, as if on cue the bell rang and I smirked at my homeroom teacher. “Always on time, sir” I said as the students in class laughed. “One of these days you will be late... an d I will gladly give you a detention”, I heard him mutter. For the past week I was coming to class on time, literally but the previous week I was late every day and that annoyed my homeroom teacher to no end. If I was late another day my very loving (sarcasm intended) homeroom teacher, Mr.Kim would give me a detention and oh so happily contact my father. The rest of the day was uneventful and I was anticipating music class. Seventh period rolled in and I practically sprinted from my math class to the music room. As I entered, I was greeted by Ms.Jung’s sweet smile, I greeted her and sat on the stool in front of the old piano. I loved the sound of the old piano, it’s antique and every sensitive touch made a sound that could make you cry and smile... this piano is the only way I can express my despair and grief of my lost twin sister... this is the only way I can vent out my hatred form my mother and need for my sister... this way I am closer to her. “Yoo Min today’s your presentation... surprise me”, said Ms. Jung her eyes sparkling with excitement. I nodded and glanced around the room and finally met the dazzling chocolate brown eyes of Park Sa Rang, a shy and unpopular girl with an amazing voice... I don’t like her though... I think, no one even noticed her but I did and found the others really stupid for not noticing such a genuine person. She didn’t know that I would occasionally stare at her in class or even follow her home, or about how she would write music in class rather than do any classwork... And only I knew that she had an attitude and violent side that would only show when she was furious... like the time she caught older kids bullying younger ones. I broke my gaze from her when the teacher cleared , we both blushed crimson. Turning back into my spot I started to play a piece that touched me, a piece written with raw emotion... ‘In Heaven’ by JYJ. “I'm going to leave now Don't leave I'm going to come back so... Liar, liar No- don't you know how much I love you? Can't you show that love to me right now? I love you... Can't we love again? As of right now, I can't say anything The miracle of you- it all seems like a fantasy The last image of you seems to be locked only in my memories I wonder if you are watching me from somewhere Even if I regret, it's too late- I can't see you anymore The tears of the shadows of my memories are watching over that place I can't say those words, I really can't- as much as you were by my side I'm sorry but I can't- everything comes shaking back to me now By waiting a little more, by wandering through my dreams I'm afraid I will close my eyes inside of you * Don't leave, don't leave- can't you stay by my side? Lies, all lies- I don't hear anything I love you, I love you- can't you show me those words? I love you, I love you- will you love me again? Time already passed like this I try looking for your traces but they are erased The last memories of you are locked in the rims of my tears Just end it, end me- if you're not going to be next to me I'm sorry but I'll leave now- following your footsteps Following the road with no end- as I wander to find you I'm afraid I will lose you and be sad * repeat Don't leave, don't leave- can't you stay? Lies, lies, I don't hear anything I love you, I love you- can't you show me? Can't you love me, love me, love me? Don't leave, don't leave- can't you stay? Lies, lies, I don't hear anything I love you, I love you- can't you show me? Please come back” I tore my eyes from the piano, I expected at least a clap… was I that bad but when I turned around my teacher was crying and so was many other girls. I could have sworn I saw a guy named Kwon wipe a tear but what I hadn’t seen was one of my classmates recording the whole thing, with the intention of posting it on YouTube… Yay. Second chapter, I’m so happy that I actually got views but I wouldn’t mind some comments :D and also I was wondering if anyone is willing to make me a banner for promise… I would really like it and maybe I’ll send that person computer cookies or give them a story idea :P it’s all about the business!
