Family

"We're here!"

They finally arrived at Lucius's house. Eira wanted to ring the doorbell but before she had the chance to do that the door already opened.

The door was opened by a girl that looked around the age of 18. She had the same black hair as Lucius but instead of the same dark blue eyes she had green eyes. Her hair was in a high ponytail, and it looked like she just came from school because she still had her uniform on.

The girl goes to the same school as Lucius because she is wearing the same uniform as the one Eira is now wearing, a red checkered skirt with a white shirt, a tie with three V like stripes.

That meant that she is a third year, one V stripe is a first year, two V stripe means second year. Because of this you could see who is from which year.

She also wore a golden name card. Only the third years have golden name cards, the rest have silver name cards. The reason? Nobody actually ever told the reason why the third years get a golden one, but it was like this ever since this school existed.

"You really should speak a little softer. I could hear you loud and clear even when I was in the house."

"Haha! You don't need to look so annoyed at me! That is just how I am!", Eira smiled brightly.

She knew that she was really loud, but did she care? No, she really didn't give a damn about it. Why would she? She is the one annoying people by talking loud not reversed.

"Hello? Don't forget us?"

"Ah, Kai, you're here too. Come in."

She made a gesture that said to come in the house but of course Eira needed to comment something.

"You're so biased, you know? The only thing you do to me is complaining but if you talk to Kai, you're so nice."

"Of course, she would be nice to me, I mean look at you."

"You! You! Don't give me that disgusted look. You look at me like I'm something dirty."

"Oh, you weren't dirt? I didn't know, since when?", she looked really puzzled like she heard something new.

"You agreed with Kai?!"

The two of them made Eira really mad. She almost exploded and wanted to attack them. But this wasn't the first time something like this happened and they knew what to do.

Run!

They ran inside the house with Eira after them. Now only Lucius was standing outside. He didn't know what to do.

He felt uncomfortable because he almost never returned here. He always returned to his luxurious house that he purchased, to the big house were only he lived in.

He felt more uncomfortable when he saw her, his sister. The same look but still different. In the past she was more-

"You're not coming in?"

A gentle and warm voice called Lucius and brought him out of his thoughts. Before him stood his mother. She seemed younger than he saw he the last time and happier.

"Ah…No, no, I'm coming."

Lucius replied fast like he was afraid of something. Afraid that someone would robe something of his. He didn't realize it, but he was really nervous and scared.

He took his shoes fast off but maybe a bit too fast because he fell on the ground. It should have hurt him, but he didn't feel anything. He only wanted to this feeling to disappear.

Suddenly a hand was before his face. It was the hand of his mother.

"Why are you so clumsy? You didn't need to be that fast. Everything will be fine so don't be so rushed."

A mother will always be a mother, even when he is not the same Lucius, he still is Lucius. So how could she not tell that he was scared and afraid. Even when she doesn't know why or what he scared of, it will alright because she just has that feeling. The feeling that everything will be fine.

"Come.", she said with a smile while taking Lucius to the living where the three were still fighting, where a man is watching the TV and where a boy is eating a yoghurt and watching the three of them fight.

It was chaos but to Lucius it felt different. He who lived years alone in silence. He who didn't have anyone by his side had know the things he actually wanted. A place to return to, a place with people who loved him for who he is, a place where people he cared for existed.

Here he isn't alone anymore, here they still haven't left him. He is at place he wanted to be. He could never be happier than now. Everything feels unreal but…it doesn't matter because he's happy that he could b' here with them even if this isn't real and only an illusion he created.

[Mom, why do you look worried?]

"Why are you crying?!"

[I'm crying? Ah…Maybe I am."]

His sight began to blur. The tears already left his eyes and ran down to his chin and at last, it fell to the carpet on the floor.

He began to wipe his tears with his hands, but the tears didn't stop, and it came out as a waterfall.

Lucius laughed: "Haha…Why am I crying? You don't need to be so worried about me, I'm fine."

Even when he said this how could they not be worried when he couldn't even stop his tears. Everyone already circled around him when they heard his mom asking why he cried.

They all bombarded him with questions.

"Are you being bullied at school? If so, tell me. You know that I have a lot of friends I'll beat them all up."

"I knew that we should have changed our class. It's because of that that you're crying, right? You're so easy to bully they should have targeted you. I know just wait I'll beat them up tomorrow."

"I'll ask to change class so that you won't be alone anymore, okay?"

"Was the food bad at the canteen? I knew that I should give you a lunchbox."

"Is it because I ate your yogurt? I really didn't know you would be this sad. I'm sorry you can eat my yoghurt the next time."

"Is it because I didn't want to buy you a laptop? I'm sorry, I'll buy you it right now so please stop crying."

The six of them were in total panic. They said everything that could be the cause of it but in the end, they didn't know what it was.

But somehow instead of comforting him he began to cry more. He cried so much that his eyes were red. All the tears that could come out came out. No more tears could come out but maybe it is for the best because if he didn't stop crying, they would become crazy and give everybody the fault and maybe beat them until they need to be hospitalized.

"I'm really fine.", Lucius said with a quiet and hoars voice after a lot of crying.

"There was something in my eyes. That's all."

He breathed hard. He didn't have enough oxygen, but he still said it normally, without any sobbing. If he didn't have red eyes and a hoarse voice you wouldn't know that he was crying.

"I'm a bit tired. I'm going to sleep a bit."

"Yeah, go sleep in your room. Don't forget to wash your face."

When his mother was done with talking, Lucius nodded and went upstairs to his room.

In the living room was a deadly silence. I mean how could they believe him that nothing was wrong. So, when they heard him close his door, they began talking about what they should do. They began discussing what to do for tomorrow and much more.

They all genuinely cared about him.
