Jack walked downstairs, on where he was there, why he was there and about what happened the day before, his memory was blurry; the only think he remembered was talking with his friend on the phone, and that was it; everything else was long lost, the same as Natasha’s head.
“You fainted last night, we are in Kin’s house, how are you feeling?” Leonard pushed Kin slightly away and walked to Jack, to check on him.
“What happened?” Jack asked, clutching his head and trying to remember what exactly made him faint.
“Somebody broke in.” Leonard and suddenly yesterday’s night played in his mind like a clip, the feeling of scariness, the powerless feeling and the unknown of his survival.
It scared him to think that, the attack may have resulted in his death, he can never be home alone again, at least not for the time being, he doesn’t want that to happen again.
“Are you okay? You look pale.” Leonard said when he saw the color running away from Jack’s appearance.
“Yeah, I want to go home, take me home please.” Jack asked in a desperate voice, holding tightly onto Leonard’s shirt.
Leonard nodded and walked out of the house with Jack, after telling Kin that he would be waiting for the kind Kin to come back.
A few days later, Kin was sitting in his office, dazedly looking out of the window and eating crackers, to busy his mouth, while he was thinking about the life he had right now with his parents; it wasn’t bad, it just felt artificial and not real, and he wasn’t alone in having that thought, but nobody voiced that out, so they were stuck in their parents house.
With each passing day in that household, a part of his soul got sucked away, their parents behavior sucked the life out of him completely, with no way of getting that back, which gave him a thought he saw in many place.
While he was eating his crackers, Kin decided to pull out his notebook, to write down thoughts, poems and any kind of idea he had in his mind.
Some of them were:
I was fighting to survive
I am still fighting
I was deep in the darkness
I didn't see the light
I was drowning
I tried to reach the top
I waited for hand to take me out
I waited and waited
But nobody came
I buried my sadness deep inside my sea of tears
I hid it behind a smile
I put on a mask
Nobody noticed
I was crazy for them
I injured myself as a finale resolution to not give up
To not finally give up
Everybody had problems
I am not the first
I have to be fine
I will just be a burden
I wanted to be saved
But I was afraid to call out for help
I was dying inside with a smile
Hoping for someone to notice
For someone to help
But nobody came
It was hard
I almost give up
I was almost eaten by the darkness my heart created
But I finally saw a hand
I saw a light so I grabbed it
I was out
I struggled at first
But I become better
I promised myself to be better
I told myself I am fine
I will be fine
I didn't give up
I was fine
I am fine
I will fight
Our love story is still fresh in my mind
You still make me fall for you every second
Loving you was the best thing I did
At first I thought our love will not last
But you proved me wrong
I am glad you did
So keep holding me
Don't let go
Never let go
Our love aged like wine
A beautiful red wine
Each day I fall harder
And find new things to love about you
You make me feel alive
You make me love myself
So let's grow old together
If it's you I am ready to fall
Because I know you will bring me up
So keep holding me in your arms
Don't let go
Never let go
Our love aged like wine
A beautiful red wine
Your love taste like eternity
You make me feel this way
I didn't know it was possible for me
But you made it happen
So keep holding me
Don't let me go
Waiting for you
For you to be back
I waited till my eyes dried out of tears
But you never came back
And when you finally did
You treated me like a shadow
A shadow you don't need
And you know what
You didn't deserve the wait
But I am glad I waited
Because the sleepless nights made me see it
The beautiful moon
The moon I never noticed before
In the night it shines
It accompanied me
Stayed with me
When you weren't there
Now I prefer to wait for the night to fall
Because I know the waiting is worth it
We try to love
We try not to hate
We try to be happy
We try not to be sad
We live
We don't want to die
But I wish you were here with me
To do all of this with me
I love you
You know that, right?
Of course you do
How could you not
I always tell you
In my dreams, my fantasies
Can you meet me in the dreamland?
I want to see you
I want to catch you
I want to hold your hand
I am falling harder
I love you
You are too perfect for me
Way too perfect to be real
Are you real?
You aren't real
I am telling myself that
But I still want you
You are real for me
Even if you fade away when I open my eyes
I miss you
You were my all
My love
My happiness
My sadness
I needed you
But you left me broken
Alone searching for the light
But now
I don't need you anymore
I have myself with me
I lost you
I won me
I won my confidence back
It was a challenge
I decided to take
In order to love me again
Now that you are gone
I finally realized
You were the barrier
The barrier stopping me
Stopping me from being
A better me
You held me back
You gave me an illusion
You told me
Without me you are nothing
Without me you will live in the darkness
You kept me from reality
But now I am free
Ready to fight the darkness
To find the light
To find me
I am me
So I will love me
For me
Nobody will love me more than me
I am my number one
I am my world
I am my light
I don't need you anymore
Because I have me
I lost you
I won me
You don’t have to be what they want you to
Be what you dream of
Be what you want
Love your life and live it the way you desire
They will judge no matter what you do
They will always be unsatisfied
Don’t put yourself in the box they made for you
To control you
Break free and do whatever
Be it becoming a hero or living a simple life
You be the judge and the jury
It may look impossible
It may seem as if the world is against you
And that might be the case
But once you stand up for yourself
They will back away and if they don’t
Then push them away
If they will not support to become what you want then they don’t deserve your attention
Be whatever you desire
Whatever you want
Live your life to the fullest
So that when the day to leave comes
You will smile and think about all the happy memories you experienced
Not the things you wished you did
Because at the end of the day
The ones who stay will he the ones to hold your hand when you need them
You made me feel special
You made me feel worth it
You made me love me
Love myself
By your words
By your voice
By existing
By being there
There to listen
To help
To help me be a better me
You made me feel this way
I was fine
I said I was fine
You saved me
So I want to save you
I want to help you
I want you to let me
Listen to you
To your worries
To your reason of sadness
I want to be there for you
Like you were
I know I am so far away
But I still want to
Be there for you
You made me love me
Love myself
So I love you
I love yourself
So love yourself
Because you are special
You are worth it
You are amazing
You are beautiful
You are my hero
I need you to be there
There in my life
You make me smile
I want to make you smile
I am there for you
I am here with you
You left me alone
You left me in the darkness
But I fought my way out of it
I found the light
I found happiness
Then why are you coming now?
Why are you here?
Where were you when I needed it you?
Don't come back when it's already too late
I don't need you
Nor your fake love
I don't need you to tell me you finally realized your mistake
Because you truly didn't
Don't lie
Don't sugar coat your words
I don't need you anymore
You say I moved too fast
But you didn't see my misery
Don't judge me
You weren't there when I put my broken pieces together
You don't belong to my world
You don't belong to my heart
Why are you here?
Why do you still try to trick me?
I am not that i***t anymore
I know the difference between fake love
And the real love
I am searching for it
You won't stop from finding it
From finding my true love
My one and only
Have you ever thought of loving me?
Have you ever thought of hugging me?
Have you ever thought of me?
Because I sure did
I know that it's impossible
The distances make it hard to see
See that there is a future between us
But I still dream of a life with you
I still fantasize of waking up next to you
I know that it's creepy
I do it anyway
Have you ever thought of loving me?
Have you get thought of hugging me?
Have you get thought of me?
Because I will be sure to
Every time I wake up
I realize that it's impossible
You are high up in the sky
But I am down here living my average life
Thinking of you is like taking a drug
Addicting until I wake up for it
And I feel the pain of you being away
Have you ever thought of loving me?
Have you ever thought of hugging me?
Have you ever thought of me?
Because I will continue to
I need you in my life
If you leave
I will not blossom
Your presence keeps me alive
Your warmth makes me smile
Your existence is my reason
You are my reason
You are the colors to my life
You love me for me
My soul is tied to your heart
My blackness is whitened by you
Hold me close
Don't disappear
Don't fly away
You are my reason
Do you feel my craziness for you?
Make me sane
And I will fade away
Without you around
My happiness is gone
You are my reason
The key to happiness is easy to find
But to know what door to open is harder than trying to find a needle in a haystack
Open the wrong one and you will break the key
Torturing yourself till you find another
Be careful of what you choose
Your destiny is in your hand
Don't hand it away
If it makes them sad, disappointed or angry
Let them be
Because you will be the one suffering
If you give me them the key to your happiness
And let them decide
Your life is in your hand
Trust yourself and only take advice
Don't allow others to take over
Because once the death knocks on your door
You are the only one who is going to open it
And let it take you
It's never too late to try
To live and make your dreams whatever you want them to be
Let your reality be yours
You're the one who has the key to your happiness
So cherish it and keep it safe
Don't hand it away
Once it's lost
It will be hard to find it again
Your happiness is yours
The same as your life
The missing piece to everything is to be happy
To be free
A bird flying through storms with hope
Hope that it will be sunny the next day
Because it will
If it's not tomorrow then it will be the day after it
Just remember that the sun will shine again
The same way your smile will
If you remember that
Your happiness is yours
I used to love you
You did too
But then they came along
We forget about each other
And fell in love with them
We stopped caring about each other
And only cared about them
We drifted apart
But we both didn't mind
Thinking about it
We fell really hard
Fell in love with someone other than each other
I don't regret it
And I am sure you don't either
Because we both know how brighter they made our world
We have each other forever
But for now let's focus on something other than each other
They deserved it
And I can sacrifice for them, the same way you did
The same way you choose them over me
Which I did as well
Ah how hard it is to love
It's beautiful but painful
We had each other
But we wanted more
Love is mysterious thing
It makes us be and don't things we never imagined
I am lucky to have you there
To understand me
When I don't understand myself
It's hard letting you go
But it's harder seeing myself and you love them more
Should we take the step or retract and stay faithful to each other?
I used to be me
Until you turned me to your dream girl
And made me forget who I was
But it was my fault
For letting you step over me
I lived in your shadow and fed off your darkness, your toxicity
It was enough until it wasn't
Because I saw the light
How bright and delicious it is
The waves in my heart are straying away from your name
They are going back to their original place
Back to my name
And it's finally calm right now
The waves found their way home and welcomed me with soft splashes
I am finally home
And ready to be who I am
If you want me to be honest
I stopped loving you a long time ago
The moment you stopped caring about me
About us
Don't act like it's a surprise
You saw this coming
The moment you turned your back
The moment your heart stopped beating in sync with mine
I am glad I have the power to do this
A few years ago breaking up with you
Would have been the same as jumping in the river
But now I am not afraid of drowning in my tears
Because I know I will get out one day
On my own
I don't need you to pity me
I don't need you to stay with me
You can go and shut the door behind you
Because I won't open my heart to you again
I'm glad to be alone in the morning sun
Without you beside me
It's comforting and peaceful
So goodbye to the old days of misery and welcome to the freedom
Verse 1:
I remember you saying:"I'll never let you down, I'll be your flashlight in the dark nights, and when you are tired I'll be your medicine (pillow), when you're fighting I'll be your best soldier (armer)".
Where are you now I don't even see your shadow, but anyway I have to say thank you cuz I've learned how to be on my own
stronger on my own
والان اكمل طريقك، واستمر في تجاهل مشاعري لأنني:
REFRAIN:
I’ll be fine with or without you, you are the one who left me when I really needed you, and now take the same road that leads you to me with you
So goodbye darling, your time is over
Verse 2
I remember myself being a bird
Having her wings and flying for the first time and you were the blue sky, but when I tried reaching you
You pushed me away and left me bleeding on the old road
And then I started crying
my life is ending now
I am the reason for your disappearance
I hated myself and I loved you
But now I'm sure that
Refrain:
Last verse:
I'm fine
You don't have to call
Here or not I'm gonna be alright
×2
You don't have to
You don't have to
You don't have to
You don't have to call
He was even creating songs at this point because of how bored and interested he was in doing his work.

Chorus: You can go
I forgive you for what you did
But don’t expect me to forgive you for the scars you gave me
You can call me weak
You can boast about breaking me to your friends
That you damaged me
But that won’t change the truth
The truth that I am over you
You are out of my life
And I won’t let you come back
To destroy it
Ver 2: I have learned from my mother and her mother
To forgive people that hurt me
They taught me that I will come out as the winner
I will get the good deeds for it
I believed it and now I am applying it on you
After all you did to me
I can say with confidence
You are just another person to me
A passenger passing by
Ver 1:
I was doing fine by myself
But then you came
Everything changed
It took me while to forget your name
The memories we had together
But I did
Last ver:
You came knocking on my door
You called me
You played your role well
The role of guiltless and remorse
But too bad for you
I can see right through you
I know you are only doing this
So we can get together
So you can break me again
Why can’t you live without bringing someone down
Is it too hard for you?
Is it your obsession to see me hurt?
Well, I will tell you now
I will never give you another opportunity to do so
And with the last poem/song that was in his head was written down, he stared off in a distance, while still munching on a cracker, trying to understand why he was here? Why can’t he just go back? It wasn’t his responsibility to take care of kids, he was allowed to have a fun life, he didn’t get a second life to just burn it taking care of Lucas’s tempter tantrum and his inability to be away from him for more than a day, sometimes even half a day, because Lucas would want to be spoiled in that exact way.
“I want to run away.” Kin uttered to himself, not realizing that Leonard was right behind him, he was listening in on what he was saying because he was interested in what Kin Was thinking about; ever since he left the house that day they hadn’t talked, not because he didn’t want to, it was only because he didn’t have the time to, with taking care of Jack and his business. Time was running low on his side he didn’t even have time to go clubbing anymore and since he broke up with all of his girlfriends, he won sometime else, which was money; he would have died of exhaustion and overworking.
If he was still dating girlfriends, he would have had to spend time with them regularly which wasn’t convenient for him he was barely able to breathe without choking on a speech.
“Running away? Where?” Leonard asked, after he noticed that Kin got awfully quiet compared to before, rambling about what he wanted to do with his life, with his crackers and the files he had on the table, with the occasional saying that his life was tough.
“Where did you come from?” Kin asked as he saw Leonard’s face up close and got scared by the handsome squidward face he had, the perfection of it was frightening.
“The door and you still haven’t answered my question.” Leonard said as he took a bite out of the cracker, that Kin had in his hand which offended him since that was the last one he had.
“I don’t know, just a place far away from here. And the next time you try to steal my food, I’m going to shave your eyebrows, I am serious.” He threatened which only made Leonhard laugh and amused, and it got him to thinking about going away with him somewhere.
“Do you want to go on vacation together?” Leonard suggested with a cheeky smile, half joking and half being serious.
“Really?” Kin took him seriously and looked at him surprised, he didn’t think that Leonhard would have that kind of suggestion, but it pleased him that he did.
“Yes, I can arrange someone to take my position for the maximum of a week and we can go somewhere.” Leonard’s company could fonction without him, but not for long, if he goes away for more than a week, his stocks would plum it and everything will fall down on his head; everything he worked on for years would just disappear, in a blink of an eye.
“That’s awesome! I want to go somewhere cold.” Kin had already decided on what weather he would choose the country and perfect for him Leonard the perfect country in mind, to go to.
“Canada?” He suggested and hoped for Kin to say yes, because he had been wanting to go there for a long time but he never had the chance, or more like he didn’t allow himself to have the chance to do so.
“That’s perfect, I always wanted to go there, well in the real world but this is the same; anyway, when can we go?” Kin never had a chance to go on a vacation with someone, it has always been with his family and even with that he only went on a couple of trips for the twenty one year he was on earth and maybe that was because he didn’t like going to go to foreign places that often was slightly scary for him but but this was a different world, his family wouldn’t show up all of a sudden, when he would be out walking.
“I don’t know, I will see with my team and determine when I can take a break.” A team of five people should always be the one responsible for the breaks he too, that was the only job they had and they were good at, since they basically were the one controlling his success and rest behind the scenes; they were even the ones hiring people to replace him when work got to him, but none of those people last for that long.
You could say Leonard was special (you make me feel special, I remembered that phrase, it’s from a song by twice, it’s a nice song btw). And did I only write that six words sentence to mention feel special, yes, I absolutely did, this is my book after all.
“Okay, I will wait for that, I will see when I can take a break too and I will try to align it with you, but anyway, let’s make a plan on what to do, we are staying for a week after all.”
“You seen really excited.”
“Is there anything wrong with that?”
“No, it just makes you cuter.”
“Stop with the flirting, I am not interested.”
“Really, why so?”
“Because I do not want to be with my brother’s boyfriend.”
“Oh yeah, I forgot about it.”
“Yeah, this is going to fail, why did I ever think this will work? I am dumber than I thought.”
