Chapter Three

Ren got home and greeted his parents, his mom was busy in the kitchen cooking while his father was reading his file focusely, his mom looked quite young though she was in her 40s she was still very beautiful while the man sitting on the sofa had a suffocating aura and was very handsome though he was a little old, he was the CEO of a big company, he is very busy that he has zero time to spend time with his children but he is trying his best, one could say that their strong gene was inherited from their parents. Ren greeted him casually and proceeded going to his room.

His mom called him as she had finally noticed him.

"Ren, come over for dinner, dinner is ready also go and call for your younger brothers.

I looked over to my mum and saw her expectant face so i went to call for those two brats ( Wen Fan and Wen Min) they both go to the same High School as i do but since i don't interact much with them they avoided me in class, they had more of fathers gene. I went to their rooms to wake them up but i knew it would take some time for them to wake up so i kept on knocking until they had finally opened the door angrily but as soon as they saw me, they became meek, i figured they were uncomfortable so i asked them quickly to come out for dinner and went away.

Eating with my family had suddenly became awkward with me, the surroundings was very awkward that i felt uncomfortable but i knew it was because of my presence, everything was good until i started keeping airs, they all found it wierd but finally got over it that they just pretended they didn't care. My younger siblings ate quickly without glancing at me while my mum and dad just continued eating indifferently, i had some expectation that they would ask about my wellbeing so i took the initiative.

"Mom, i think am going to stay at home this weekend, am feeling unwell, I looked at my parents face for their reply but all that came out was.. Ren, you are an adult, you have to handle your own things, i believe you know what you are doing, if you are tired just rest ok, also your dad will be going on a business trip tomorrow with your elder brother. I looked over at my father who had not spoken a word but all he was focusing on was his meal until he finally spoke a word.

Ren, you heard your mother so take care of yourself. Having said that, he focused on his meal, the atmosphere became chilly and i suddenly felt no appetite.

Thanks you mom and dad, i will make sure to take care of myself. Will you excuse me, i want to take a rest" I went upstairs without looking back while hearing my sibling started talking nonchalantly since i was gone, that was kinda hurtful but since i was the one that distanced myself, there was nothing to be sorry for.

(Mild Abuse up ahead, be warned ..)

I went up to my room and stared blankly, i didn't know how many hours i continued staring, i got up to change my cloth and also to take a bath. I lay down on my bed folding at the sheet, i wanted to keep myself occupied but that was not working so i put my attention on the roof just staring at it but my thought was preoccupied by how nonchalant my parents were but at least they said the truth, i was not a child anymore.

Why are you trying to convince yourself, your parents don't love you, you are a burden to everyone, just someone who complicate everyone's life, they will be happy if you were gone" the voices in his head kept whispering into his head mockingly, it was unbearable.

No, no they love me, you are the one at fault, you are the one causing trouble for me, why don't you leave me alone am tired, Ren kept holding his head shouting and hallucinating, he didn't have control over his emotions and he was loosing control, he saw a glass of water on the shelf, poured the water away and broke the glass into piece, he took a shard of it and slashed in on his arm continuously until he regained compulsure, it was not painful and he did so expressionlessly, that was the only way he could feel himself, he didn't know how to stop until he thought of a smile and the person who promised to be his friend, his mind kept flashing with those clumsy movement that he stopped hurting himself, he went to take his drugs and sleep thinking of his new friend.

Ryan got home and proceeded to his room, his dad was out for business so he was the only one in the house except for the servants at home. He kept thinking about the young boy that he failed to see how suprised the face of the servants were, this was the first time they saw him smile and went to his room happily without getting angry.

Ryan got to his room and kept thinking about the boy smile, he couldn't get the image out of his head nọ matter how much he tried, he was somehow grateful he went to the new school, he had many friends but he was not sure why the feelings were different compared to them.

The young boy seemed so fragile and delicate, also very clumsy that you will want to protect him, he doesn't even pay attention but at least he recognized me and became my friend. I will be able to know more about him. I feel like protecting this new friend of mine and keeping him close, While he was deep in thought. One of the servant knocked on the door and announced whether he should deliver his food, Ryan got a little angry that his thoughts were interrupted but he still answered Yes.

He didn't feel hungry thinking about the boy just now but he just wanted to eat the food, he was quite happy and lessened the punishment he was going to give his father.

Soon the servant came with the food and served him and left immediately after. Ryan ate the food while thinking, I can't wait to meet him again tomorrow, I guess School won't be that bland like I thought, how should I talk to him tomorrow' he wondered feeling some excitement.

I can't wait for tomorrow to come, I miss him but why?" He blushed shamefully thinking about tomorrow's event not knowing the supposed person is not coming tomorrow.
