Chapter 9 {Home}
Despite knowing that the others were sleeping, you shouted, "Are you stupid? You already know that you will not lose me!" "I know that... But that thought keeps playing in my head all the time." Ash looked like he was about to break down. He then shed a tear. "H-Hey, don't cry," You were not good at comforting others, but you tried just this time. "Whatever you do... Don't leave me alone. Stay with me." He said, then rested his head on your shoulder. You grinned.
Ash awoke, later, to find himself lying on your chest. You heard Axel's snickering when you woke up a few minutes after Ash woke up. You realized the situation then yelled, "Axel! That's not what you thought it was!" You got up out of your sleeping bag, began chasing Axel while Ash watched. Ash put his jacket on and told you he was going out to buy something. You didn't hear, as you were still chasing Axel around. Jinx awoke because of the noise Axel and you were making. However, she continued on with breakfast and completely ignored you both. Jinx acted as though it wasn't abnormal for you and Axel to chase each other around.
"Please! You must help me!" you heard someone yell. In your hideout, there was a weak old man who was walking towards you and Axel. You didn't know if you could trust him. "N/N! Axel! Jinx! Get back!" Ash screamed, returning with a bag. An explosive was found in the old man's hand.
Before Ash could apprehend him, he lit up the bomb and threw it in the middle of your hideout, and started running away. He did not escape, because you and Ash threw him into the explosion just as he was about to leave the area. Jinx sighed and said, "I guess it was one of Arthur's men." "Where will we stay?" Axel complained. Jinx looked at you in the corner of her eye. "I might have an idea of where we should stay." "Oh yeah! N/N, you're part of the L/N family, aren't you? They're really rich!" Axel smirked and started to walk around in circles. It took you a minute to figure out what they were saying.
"No! There's no way! I'm not going home!" you screamed. Despite your denial, you still ended up standing in front of your house. You hesitated to knock on the door. "Why are you so scared?" Ash asked as he stood beside you in front of your door. You walked down the steps from your porch and walked to the gate saying "I can't do this." Ash knocked on the door and shouted, "Anybody home?" You raced back to him and tried to calm him down: "Ash, what are you doing?!" As you tried to drag him away by the arm, a woman opened the door. Your mother. You and Ash froze. Her question was "How can I help you?" It was too late now to turn back. "Eh... Hello Mom..." You avoided making eye contact with her.
Your mother gasped loudly and said: "Y/N! What have you done with your hair? What have you done with your clothing?! Where have you been all this time?!" She scolded you as she tugged your ear, pulling you inside your home. "Ow!"
Ash and you sat down on the couch. "So," your father said, gazing at Ash. "Who is he?"
Ash said before you answered: "I am here to make sure your daughter doesn't do anything stupid or reckless." Even worse, he said it with a smile.
You wondered why your parents didn't bring up the topic of the murder you "committed" at school. So, you brought it up. "About the day I committed murder and ran away. It seems unbelievable, but I didn't do anything. I was framed, I panicked, and I started to run away." You explained. They did something you didn't expect, they believed you.
You explained everything that happened, later on, surprised they weren't going to report you to the police since you were still committing murder.
After they took it as understanding, they asked: "Are you saying you came back to tell us that?" You nodded, but there was another reason. "Yeah but...the place where I was staying exploded, and we had no place to stay." You told. "Who is "we"?" You let Jinx and Axel into the house.
Your father's first words to Axel were, "I didn't know N/N would have a good relationship with a kid!"
