" You sure took your sweet time, V."
" Yeah...things got a bit complex over there.." I elaborated with as few many words as possible.
or else it would only be an invitation for trouble.
"Say, V. Next week, we have a two-day weekend. Would you...um.. like to come with us to the amusement park?"
" Amusement park?" I glanced at Revin.
There must be a slight hurried smile on my face.
" Yeah man. You wanna hang out with us? Rev' actually suggested it to me that we take you on a outing since you looked completely out of it, and it seemed pretty fair." Kenny spoke behind my back.
Wow....
Of all people...him?
And here I was thinking Revin might be the most boring guy ever.
He would be the most distant and quietest one among us. The one who would always hurry off towards a dark corner in a room to read a book than to "waste" time on something like this.
The world didn't matter to him in the least.
I almost scoffed at the thought.
He's changing.
I am so glad for him.
"There you go once again, V. You're clearly talking to yourself." Revin said with his hands in his jacket.
"Soooo!! ya' comin' or not?"
Damn you, Kenny.
He's always been the chaotic one.
" Yeah, I'll tag along with you guys."
Maybe this is what it means to have a family.
A proper family.
We aren't connected by blood but we have a bond stronger than anyone.
"Kenny and Revin are my family. I'll always....always keep them happy.."
Wait...
I said that out loud.
They are so gonna laugh at me. And Kenny would be like," What am I, your bride or somethin'? and then Revin would be lik-
I look forward to face Revin and Kenny.
They have this gentle yet painful expression on their faces.
" I know, V....
We will too keep you from danger. We...won't let anybody hurt you." Kenny said, with his eyes relaxed.
There was clearly a change in the atmosphere.
But it wasn't volatile. It wasn't tense.
It was warm and comforting...
So unlike the one I had experienced some time ago..
Some time ago?
Hold on...
What happened some time ago?
