Tears
By Annie-chan!
Sai woke up one morning and stretched, then he looked over at the calendar
and he looked away sadly, today was the anniversary of the day when his father
had left him and his family. His mother had told him and his sister Sae that
it was not their fault, but Sai still got a sad sick feeling on this day. He
felt guilty because his father left when he broke his father's glass
dolphin (see Saendie's story) and said he was leaving them because of him.
Then Sai started to cry all over again and his mother and sister ran into his
room and tried to comfort him, but that didn't help that much. Then when
they left him alone, Sai remembered how his friends had tried before to help
him feel better. Ryo and Rowen knew what it was like not having a father
there for you, because Ryo's father was killed in Africa, by a lion when he
was only six, and Rowen's father had left him and his mother also, and Rowen
only got to see him on weekends, but those visits were always bittersweet
between them. Sage didn't know about losing one's father but also tried to
help, as did Kento. Sage said he would always be there if Sai just wanted to
talk, and Kento had tried many times to comfort him by telling him jokes,
and just being his silly self.
And Sai realized how glad he was to have such good friends, and then he felt
better and began to prepare himself for that day.
