The prettiest smile

Hides the darkest secrets

The most beautiful eyes

Have shed the most tears

The kindest hearts

Have felt the most pain

    The bright lights and the rambunctious chatter in the cafeteria gave me a headache. The air was dense and stale, invading my senses. I poked at my food, not having an appetite for anything.

    "Mizuki?" A sassy voice interrupting my peace. I turned towards the source of the sound only to find Crystal glaring at me " Were you even listening to me?" I plastered a fake sweet smile onto my face.

    "Of course I was! Why wouldn't I?" I said in a sweet voice. She smirked, like she heard what she wanted then started telling her shit to everyone. I sighed. How could Crystal always get what she wanted, especially in this unfair world? I looked over to the group that she was talking to. They all seemed very interested... Why? Why can't I be like them?

    "I'm so depressed" Crystal complained. My purple eyes shot wide open and I felt anger boil up inside of me. She buried her face into her hands and made fake crying sounds in obvious attempt to gain attention. I saw her trying to create tears in her green eyes. There were sympathetic eyes and a chorus of voices asking why. Crystal made up an over exaggerated story that could have never happened and yet, people still believed her. I clenched my fists. She had no idea... No idea what it felt like!

    I grew up with my older brother in a nice home near Osaka, Japan. My parents were always there for us, for each step of the way, helping us, teaching us. My brother was a great leader, he was very smart and was very strong.

    "Sis!" Ryuu yelled "Let's go to the park!"

    "Yay the park!" The 13 year old me exclaimed while jumping up and down excitedly. After getting ready to go to Osaka Castle Park we started to walk outside. It was a beautiful afternoon, the warm breeze caressed our skin and the air was fresh. The sky was a beautiful splash of colors and the clouds were pinkish orange. Everything about that day was perfect, or so we thought. I was playing games with my brother in the park and did not realise that it had been already 3 hours. The sky was dark and the warm afternoon was replaced by a chilling night sky. It was a moonless night and uneasiness filled the air. We walked across town, unaware of the dangers lurking in the shadows. Suddenly, I felt a cold pair of hands wrapped around my body.

    "Wanna play girly?" A disgusting awful voice asked. I glared at the stranger in pure disgust. "Don't be so cold to me, the fun has just begun." My heart sped up as I desperately tried to free myself from the stranger's grasp but to no avail.

    "Help!" I cried out. My brother quickly turned around and stared at me in horror. Before asking me any questions, he delivered a punch to his face at full force. I stared wide eyed at the scene. The man got up and started fighting back.

    "Run! Go now Mizuki! Go and get help!" I ran away my heart frantically pounding against my chest. Leaving what I loved behind. I dashed back to my home, telling my parents what had happened to my brother. They instantly paled before rushing towards the scene. When we got there, we saw blood. Blood everywhere. It all felt unreal, it felt all like a nightmare. The putrid stench assaulted my nose and I felt the bile rise up to my throat. The scene was gruesome and hypnagogic. At the corner of my eye, I saw corpse. I approached the body with shaky steps and looked at the body carefully. There was so much blood everywhere I couldn't even recognize who it was, until I saw his blue eyes. A sob bubbled up my throat as I put a hand in front of my mouth to muffle my ragged cries. What has Ryuu do to deserve this? There is no way! No way he's dead. Tears cascaded down my cheeks as the algid wind whipped across my face. I couldn't see the murderer, I couldn't see my life continuing, it's all gone. All gone because of that bastard!

    Soon after the incident, my family suffered a huge blow. My mother, stopped caring for us. All she would do is lock herself up in her room and sob. She never ate unless we forced her to. It was like she died too. My father tried desperately to keep himself together, for the sake of the family but every night, he would cry. I would always see emptiness and sorrow in his eyes. It tore me apart to see that my family had been affected by this heartrending catastrophe. One day, I heard an ear piercing cry of devastation. I immediately recognized the sound from my father. I rushed towards the source and found myself in the family bathroom. My father was on his knees, screaming out incomprehensible words and clawing at himself. I didn't know what was going on, so I took a step closer towards the scene. I wish I hadn't though. Crimson, sticky blood was spilled all over the mirror, counter, sink and floor. I felt nauseous again as thoughts of Ryuu bubbled up into by head. In a corner, I spotted a bloody mess of a corpse. There was so much blood that I couldn't even recognize the body. My mother! My knees felt weak and they suddenly collapsed. I cried out and started ripping my skin, tracing red marks all over my body, trying to even out the pain. Why? Why is this world so cruel? Hot tears cascaded down my cheeks. I couldn't keep it in anymore, I regurgitated all of my insides then faded into the darkness. But not before seeing a shining knife in the hands of my mother.

    "SHUT UP CRYSTAL!" I exploded. No one made a sound. It felt good, to let something go. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT FEELS LIKE! TO LIVE IN THE PAST, TO HAVE MEMORIES THAT ARE FOREVER SCARRED INTO YOUR MIND. TO HAVE THEM HAUNT YOU! DEPRESSION IS NOT FOR GAINING ATTENTION! IT HURTS! IT HURTS MORE THAN YOU THINK!" I could feel the tension rise up the cafeteria because no one ever dared to go against Crystal.

See you next time!
