He Never Returned

Where could her baby be, she was extremely scared that something bad might have happened to him.

Feng Qi replied "Yes but we didn't talk much, why'd you ask". All day Feng Qi had been thinking of what Hao Shen told him before he left and with Hao Shen's mom calling, he was scared that something bad had happened to him.

"Hao Shen isn't home, I was thinking, you knew were he went or did he tell you anything about his disappearance?" Hao Mai Yan questions where like bombs to Feng Qi.

Hao Shen was missing and it might have been his fault, he quickly answered "he didn't tell me that he was going anywhere plus aside from my house and school he doesn't know anywhere else, if he was to be hiding anywhere the next best place aside from my house, would be at the school grounds".

"Thank you", Hao Mai Yan wanted to end the call when Feng Qi called out "aunty can I join you in finding him at the school, I know everywhere in the school including some secret hiding spots, so please let me join you".

Hao Mai Yan didn't care. If he can help then that's good but if he couldn't help she still won't stop him from trying. It was better if two people could look for one person than for just one person to do so.

So she let him tag along but they were to meet at the school gate.

Hao Mai Yan called the director again and request he came to the school to open the schools gate, while Feng Qi was trying to convince his mom to let him go search for Hao Shen.

Hao Mai Yan had gotten to the school before Feng Qi did. They waited for the director together while talking about Hao Shen.

It was at this moment that Feng Qi told Hao Mai Yan what had happened.

Hao Mai Yan was angry at both Feng Qi and all of Hao Shen's classmates, although it wasn't clear what they did to him, she know it must have hurt her son so much. Knowing Hao Shen, he probably didn't bother to fight back.

She was angry at Feng Qi because he didn't clear the misunderstanding between them and now her son was missing. Almost all her blame was on Feng Qi but she didn't want to say or do anything yet, she just wanted to find her son first then deal with the rest later.

The director arrived at the school, he could feel the coldness radiating from Hao Mai Yan, he didn't dare to imagine what had happened, all he wanted was to open the gates and let the tigress in.

When they went in the director saw that both Feng Qi and Hao Mai Yan was looking for something. He also noticed that the coldness of Hao Mai Yan was radiating was not towards himself but to Feng Qi.

He approached Feng Qi to know what happened between them. His gossip sense was picked, he could have asked Hao Mai Yan since she was the responsible adult between them but even if he was born with ten guts he would still not be able to speak to her or even question her, talk more of now that she was angry. "Hey Feng Qi what happened? What are you guys looking for?"

Feng Qi didn't bother to look at the director and just gave him a replay while still searching "Hao Shen".

The director was a little confused so he just kept asking "what happened to him?" He asked.

"he went missing" Feng Qi paused for a second before he continued replying "I think he ran away".

The director was shocked to hear this. He no longer bothered Feng Qi and decided to join them in the search. If things gets out, every one would find out that it was because of the neglect of the teachers that Hao Shen ran away, if the teachers had not been nonchalant about the bullying of the students and had tried to stop those students from bullying him then maybe Hao Shen would not have ran Away.

He was also to be blamed. He had known about it and decided to play blind, but if he had come up on behalf of Hao Shen and spoke about it then the kids in the school would not fill free to say their mind on the school forum. The school forum was built so that the teachers would be able to have a sense of what the students were thinking and how their thoughts process worked in other to teach them better and to guide them.

If the students find out that the school could see everyone's chats they wouldn't freely post on the forum, and their by making the teachers jobs more difficult.

All three of them had searched the entire school and they didn't see any sign of Hao Shen. After not finding him in the school they decide to go find him in the streets, but because they didn't have any headstart's. They decided to scatter themselves and search everywhere they knew.

Hao Mai Yan checked the streets close to their home, Feng Qi searched all the places he liked dragging Hao Shen to and the director searched other places.

But even with their combined efforts they found nothing but  kept searching.

They didn't realize when the sun rows, it was when they finally realized it that Hao Mai Yan called the police again.

The cops were most more cooperative now than when she first called, They called her to the office for questioning.

They took his pictures and then put up a missing poster while they searched in other places but even after their efforts, Hao Shen was not found.

After they tried their very best in finding him, they eventually dropped the case and put their attention on other cases.

That night Hao Shen had ran a very far distance, it was only when his emotions had calm down he fill the sting in his legs.

His legs had gotten so weak that it was wobbling, adding to the fact that he hadn't eaten anything after the light breakfast he had with his mom.

Luckily for him he didn't have to stand for so long. There was a bench not so far from where he was standing.

He wobbled to the bench. The minute he got to the bench he collapsed on it.

He felt incredibly weak and hungry, seeing that their was no one around him, he laid down on the bench like a soulless corpse.

After laying their for a while his mind begin to wonder.

He found that what he did was actually ridiculous. Why had he ran away?, even if Feng Qi doesn't want to have any sort of relationship with him, he still shouldn't have ran away.

He still could go back to how his life was before he met Feng Qi, it's not like he couldn't live without him, or so he tried to tell himself.

But he know someone that would be unable to live without him and that was his mom, aside from himself she had no other family members left so if he suddenly also left her how would she cope.

Even if she couldn't express her love through words or expressions she would always show it through her actions.

Come to think about it why did he leave the only person that ever truly love him?. He had to go back, if not for himself than for his mother.

Everything she had ever done, she did for him. Even if she could be selfish and give him up after giving birth to him or even abort him!, she still carried him, gave birth to him, feed him, cloth him and sheltered me.

She never really asked for anything in return so what the hell gave him the right to selfishly leave her just because of a stupid heart break, he really should go back.

Even as he said this, deep down he knew that it wasn't just the heart break. It has everything to do with the betrayal he felt when he found out Feng Qi had told everyone and made a fool out of him.

But right now it does not matter, Hao Shen had decided that once his legs were feeling better he would go back home.

After waiting a while Hao Shen stood up from the bench and was heading to the pavement to see if he could find any cabs that would take him home.

Because honestly he couldn't walk for a very long distance.

But before he could reach the pavement he tripped on air and fell face flat on the floor.

since he was close to the pavement, his head hit the pavement and blood seeped from the spot the pavement walls hit.

He could fill his consciousness slowly fade away.
