*************************************************
I was beyond angry. Yoongi just informed me that today was the last day in town for me till next month. He was going to be working on the weekends as well with only a day off per month. That meant, no more coming to the town for grocery shopping.
"But I won't forget to buy you a present, kitten. Also you can buy more than one thing when you're coming to the store yourself once a month."
"I don't want your stupid gifts." I angrily said, "I want you. At least, on a weekend."
"Kitten," Yoongi sighed, unable to deal with my raging state, "I'm sorry. You see, it's not something that I can control."
"Fine." I yelled, "get out of my sight. I'm not going home with you."
"Kitten…" He tried to speak but was interrupted by a lady.
"Is everything alright, dear?" The question was directed toward me.
"Yeah, everything's fine. We're just having a discussion. Thank you." Yoongi dismissed her concerns which seemed to be irritating her somehow.
"Are you sure you're alright?" She asked me again. When I nodded my head the lady further asked, "Who is he? Do you know him?"
"Excuse me!" Yoongi said, "I don't see why you need to know that."
The lady still asked me without bothering to look at him, "is he threatening you?"
"What?" was Yoongi's reply.
I shook my head. Then, the lady turned to Yoongi and said, "Sir, I'm very concerned about this child. Please state your relationship to her."
"That's none of your business." Yoongi answered bitterly. He grabbed my wrist and walked straight to our car.
"Sir…" the lady called from behind but we simply speeded our walk and got in the car.
I wanted to apologize for reacting like that in the store earlier and for gaining unwanted attention. Somehow I couldn't manage to do it as I felt a growing lump on my throat.
Yoongi, on the other hand, looked disturbed. I wasn't sure if it was because of the lady or myself.
In the evening, I sat on the bed while Shelby lay beside me. She stayed too quiet as if she understood the dull atmosphere of the house. I ran my hand through her. She moved closer to me and relaxed in a more comfortable position.
Yoongi was cooking outside. I dared not to go to him at the moment. I felt that something wrong was going to happen and I dreaded its arrival. I tried to plan the best way I could apologize to lift his mood. After all, it was my fault that the day went to ruin.
Then I heard a car being pulled up outside. I froze.
Could it be…
I peeked through the window and got a glance of a police car. “Why are the police here?” I thought to myself. Unconsciously I started biting my nails.
I could sense that Yoongi was talking to them outside. A dull ache was twisting within my stomach.
After a few minutes, Yoongi came inside, his face unreadable. He spoke quietly, “Kitten, you need to come out for a moment. Here’s an officer to meet you. Please talk to him nicely.”
I nodded slowly and, almost in daze, walked outside. The man in a police uniform greeted me. He asked me to sit down. After we’re both seated at the patio, the officer asked Yoongi to leave us alone.
“No!” I immediately opposed it. “He’ll stay.”
Yoongi said, “I won’t interrupt, sir. I’ll just stay beside her so that she doesn’t feel too nervous about this whole situation.”
The officer nodded and turned to me. He said that he had to ask me some questions and I was required to answer them honestly. I needed not to be scared. When I approved, he proceeded to ask me where I came from, who was my guardian, what happened that made me run away from home, how I met Yoongi, how long had I been living with him, if I considered him to be a dangerous man etc.
I answered him truthfully. I told him how abusive of a man my step father was. I told him all the evil things he had done to me. I told him how my life was a living hell before I met Yoongi.
Every now and then, whenever I faltered in between, Yoongi would softly squeeze my hand. It was hard for me to bring up the nasty past. But I had to do it. I had to convince the police that it was my own decision that I ran away and still my own that I stayed with him.
Finally, the police said that I could go. Yoongi took me inside and whispered to me, “you did bravely, kitten.”
Then, he went out to have a last chat with the police. I waited patiently and prayed that the man would leave us soon.
The man, to my horror, did not leave us soon. In fact they were talking for so long that my anxiety got the best of me and I had to eavesdrop from inside the door.
Luckily, they were talking loudly enough for me to hear them. Unluckily, it sounded as if they were arguing over something.
Yoongi's voice was deadly, something I never heard before, "you heard everything!"
"I know, I know," the officer spoke in a frustrated manner, "But what you're asking is against the law. I can even arrest you right now for keeping her for so long without any legal rights over her."
"Will you?" It wasn't even a question. Yoongi said it as if he knew the police won't do that.
"Yoongi," the man spoke softly, "I know you very well. I know what you've been through. I also know from how you're treating her that you truly care for her. I still ask you to give it a rational thought. She doesn't belong here."
"What do you mean by here?" Yoongi argues further, "she clearly loves this place."
"She might love the place. I only meant she doesn't belong with you. She deserves a family."
Yoongi looked him dead in the eye and said, "I'm not letting her go back to that monster, you hear me!"
At this point, I was really getting scared. I didn't know if it was because of the idea that I might have to go back to my stepfather or about the fact that Yoongi was so mad, which was really unlikely of him.
"I assure you. She's never going to see him again. We're gonna call the social service. They'll arrange a nice Foster home for her."
"Oh, shut up!" Yoongi retorted, "I know how those Foster systems work. She might never be adopted. Especially at this age."
"At least, she'll have a chance for a real family. This is only for her own good."
"I don't trust anyone."
"You know you're only saying that because you don't want to lose her, right?"
Something about this confrontation with the police made Yoongi go silent. He didn't reply. It neither looked like he's going to argue any longer.
After the brief moment of silence, it almost took my utmost willpower to stay put at my place and not run straight to them begging Yoongi to say something in my favor, the police finally spoke.
"I'll give you tonight to say a proper goodbye. But I'm coming back tomorrow, along with the social service. I hope you won't resist, then. Otherwise, you're gonna be in trouble, I tell you."
The man finally left without waiting for a reply.
"I heard everything." I said after waiting for a minute for Yoongi to settle in bed. When he looked like he wasn't going to say anything back, I proceeded further. "I'm sorry I made a scene at the shop. I know it's all my fault. Oppa, please, don’t stay mad at me."
Yoongi finally looked back at me and said, "rules are rules. I don't have any control over this situation. They're gonna be here tomorrow and you'll have to go."
"Oppa!" I yelled at him. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He was giving up on me. He wasn't fighting to keep me anymore.
On the verge of tears, I asked, "Are you punishing me for what I did earlier?"
"No!" Yoongi stood up from the bed and came towards me, "You know, I'll never punish you for anything."
"Then, why are you doing this to me?"
"It's for your own good, kitten. Out there, you can at least dream for a new home. A new family. Here, you have nothing to even dream about."
"But you are my home."
I took a step forward and rested my head on his chest. "You're the best thing that I can ever wish for. You are my only family."
Yoongi slowly shook his head. He pushed me away by holding me by the shoulders. He made me look into his eyes and spoke very politely.
"It wasn't me who saved you but the other way around. You showed me everything that my life was lacking. Thanks to you, I felt like I truly lived. No, kitten. I can't be so selfish to keep you in this boring life of mine and take advantage of you like that. You deserve a chance in life. Unlike mine, you have a whole future ahead of you."
I couldn't understand what was going on. How suddenly everything changed in Yoongi. How willingly he was pushing me away.
"But I don't want to go."
"You're too young to understand that."
As I opened my mouth to argue further, Yoongi shook his head to shut me up. He said, "please, kitten, I want you to do better than this. I'm tired. I'm going out for a drink. Sleep tight till tomorrow."
Then, he went out with a bottle of whisky in his hand. I wasn't allowed to leave my room when he drank out on the patio. So, like always, I stayed inside. I stayed and cried. I cried on my pillow throughout the night till sleep took over my messy mind.
The next morning, we didn't talk much. We were just busy packing my bag. At one point, Yoongi came up to me with his guitar and said, "Since you love it so much, I want you to keep it."
I didn't say that the reason I loved the guitar so much was because he played it. I loved the fact that he played the guitar for me whenever I asked him to.
I decided to leave behind the little fox plushie. So Yoongi could have something to look at whenever he thought of me.
When I saw the car approaching from far away, I felt like I would break down anytime and cry. Surprisingly that didn't happen.
I scratched behind Shelby's ear and gave her the last piece of treat. I hugged Yoongi for the last time too. After that, without a fight I climbed inside the car.
As we were driving away, I thought I would take a good look for the last time at the place I called my first home. The place looked hauntingly empty. I looked at the familiar window, the front patio, our jeep, trying to take in as much as I could.
My eyes finally stopped at Yoongi. His head was bending towards his feet so that I couldn't make out his face. I noticed that his shoulders were shaking.
I didn't need to try. Tears automatically flowed through my cheeks. All this time I had been at my worst, Yoongi was always there beside me, offering the warmth that I just needed. And the one time of him being vulnerable, I couldn't be there beside him, offering the same warmth that he had given me.
