Letters to the Lost
Back home
There stood a girl in the beach at sundown playing, running, doing anything she wanted without a care in the world.
Kaelum Delacroix
Who is this girl? She seems strange, it might be better if I stay away from her.
I mutter under my breath while looking at this unfamiliar girl before me.
Adelia Delacroix
We have to go now Mom and Dad are looking for us!!!. Stop walking and start running!!!.
I notice Adelia's yell and quickly ran straight to her.
Adelia Delacroix
What's taking you so long? We are going to be late for dinner.
Kaelum Delacroix
Chill out sis, it's not the end of the world or something.
I chuckled and she responded with a scowl.
We got into the car and drived to our parent's house.
After some time. We miraculously arrived in time for supper.
Kaelum Delacroix
I told you there's nothing to be worried about.
Adelia Delacroix
Oh please if it weren't for me we couldn't have arrived in time.
Adelia Delacroix
Anyway we should probably go in now Mom and Dad are probably waiting for us.
Kaelum Delacroix
I am kinda curious though they suddenly wanted for a family dinner.
Kaelum Delacroix
I should still be in my dorm preparing for college.
Adelia Delacroix
We will find out anyways
We went our way to the dining room. Where we were greeted by Mom and Dad
Mom quickly hugged us as soon as she saw us both.
Therese Delacroix
What took you so long? The food's getting cold.
Adelia Delacroix
Wow!!! Mom we just arrived and you are already nagging us.
Erich Delacroic
Come on hon, let's enjoy this dinner as a family. As we all know Kaelum is now going to college.
A tall figure suddenly popped out of Dad's back.
Deundre Delacroix
Come sit down Mom, it's bad for you to get so worked up.
Kaelum Delacroix
Drei! You're back from abroad.
Kaelum Delacroix
You should have informed us that you were coming home.
Adelia Delacroix
Great, now I have two idiot brothers to take care of.
Deundre Delacroix
Hey come on sis, didn't you miss me even just a little?
Deundre Delacroix
What a shame I even bought you the new Chanel bag.
Deundre Delacroix
The one that Mom and Dad wouldn't buy.
Adelia Delacroix
Oh! My dear brother, I can't tell you how much I missed you.
Erich Delacroic
Can we save that for later, I am famished.
They all settle down at the table.
Therese Delacroix
So how was abroad honey?
Deundre Delacroix
It was amazing! The scenery was just to die for.
Deundre Delacroix
And I uh met a girl.
Father chokes on his water.
Therese Delacroix
Dear manners
*Mom whispers to Dad*
Well that's splendid darling.
Erich Delacroic
Sorry I just didn't swallow it right.
Kaelum Delacroix
How long are you gonna be staying here in the US before going back to Switzerland?
Deundre Delacroix
I am planning 3-4 months why?
Therese Delacroix
Why so soon, don't you miss us?
Adelia Delacroix
Wait something doesn't sit right with me.
Adelia Delacroix
I already know that the girl is way out of your league.
Deundre Delacroix
I can hear you, you know.
Erich Delacroic
Son I just want to tell you that please value the girl.
Erich Delacroic
That is all I ask you.
Deundre Delacroix
Yes Dad, I won't dissapoint you.
Therese Delacroix
So where did you guys meet?
Deundre Delacroix
It is actually quite funny.
Deundre Delacroix
We actually met at a fast-food restu**** ******
Kaelum Delacroix
💭Why is the words suddenly inaudible, I feel faint.
I excuse myself from dinner with the excuse of being tired.
Just I have arrived in my room I collapse on the floor.
Hospital
I wake up feeling heavy, as I opened my eyes I was suprised to see an IV drip right beside me.
Just as I was adjusting to my new surroundings an unknown person came into the room.
After she saw me she immediately left the room.
After some time, two unknown figures entered my room.
Mysterious Man
Allow me to introduce myself I am Atlas Herdis and this woman beside me is Arletta Finnegan.
Atlas Herdis
You have been admitted due to malnourishment.
Arletta Finnegan
Your parents are on their way.
Arletta Finnegan
You should eat and rest more.
Atlas Herdis
Why are you not eating and resting properly?
Kaelum Delacroix
I am busy preparing for college. I have a part-time job,so I sometimes forget to eat.
Atlas Herdis
Then what about the lack of sleep?
Kaelum Delacroix
Well I have to make up for the times I have to study.
Atlas Herdis
You will have to rearrange you're schedule you cannot continue to live like this.
Atlas Herdis
Or you will have to suffer the consequences if what you have done.
Mom barges into my room, wailing.
Therese Delacroix
My poor son, why did you not tell us!?
Kaelum Delacroix
Don't worry Mom I can look after myself.
Therese Delacroix
And look where it got you. I can't stand seeing you like this.
Erich Delacroic
You're Mom is right you know.
Kaelum Delacroix
I just want you guys to enjoy your life and not worrying about me.
Therese Delacroix
But it is our job to care for our children.
Therese Delacroix
What kind of parents would we be if we wouldn't take care of our child.
Kai goes silent after hearing those words.
Kaelum Delacroix
I'm sorry but from on I promise to take care of myself properly.
Therese Delacroix
You promise?
Atlas Herdis
Sorry to interrupt you from this happy family moment but there is a matter I must speak with your parents privately.
Atlas Herdis
So I will be taking them for a moment.
Mom and Dad glances at each other.
The doctor leaves the room and they follow him.
Kaelum Delacroix
Say Ms. Finnegan do you know what they're talking about?
Arletta Finnegan
Sorry I also don't know Mr. Herdis only gives me orders on what to do.
Arletta Finnegan
But if I can be of any help right now, I will gladly help
Kaelum Delacroix
Thanks but I don't think I need help with anything right now.
Mom and Dad enters the room.
Kaelum Delacroix
So how was the talk with the doctor go?
I notice Mom's face is a little flustered.
Kaelum Delacroix
Mom are you ok? You don't look well.
Therese Delacroix
I'm fine sweetie.
Dad picks up and leaves the room.
After some time Dad comes back in
Erich Delacroic
Honey, we have to go now there's a important matter in the company right now.
Therese Delacroix
What bad timing.
*Mutters under her breath*
Kaelum Delacroix
It's okay if you go i'm fine right here.
Kaelum Delacroix
And plus I need to catch some Zz's.
Therese Delacroix
Fine but please call us if there's anything you need.
Dad and Mom leaves the room
Kaelum Delacroix
Ms. Finnegan how long am I going to be here until I am discharged.
Arletta Finnegan
You can be discharged tommorow.
Quarrel
I was permitted to be discharched from the hospital and went back home.
But her phone couldn't be reached. So I dialed Dad instead.
Erich Delacroic
📲 What's the matter son? Is there anyhing you need.
Kaelum Delacroix
📲 I was wondering if you could pick me up from the hospital.
Erich Delacroic
📲 Uhm... We're still quite busy with matters. I will send a driver to come and pick you up.
Erich Delacroic
📲 Is something bothering you, Son?
Kaelum Delacroix
📲 Nothing... Can you send the driver now please.
After a few minuetes passed. A driver arrived and fetched me.
Driver
Good Morning, Sir. I am the driver that your father sent, Sir.
Driver
Where would you like to go? Sir.
Kaelum Delacroix
To the main house, please.
After I said the location, the driver immediately started driving.
Kaelum Delacroix
Would you care to tell me your name.
Driver
Most certainly, Sir.
Clement Flavier
I am Clement Flavier, Sir.
Kaelum Delacroix
Well Mr. Flavier. I am annoyed at the fact that the end of your sentences is always, Sir.
Clement Flavier
Then what shall I call you, Sir.
Kaelum Delacroix
There it goes again.
Clement Flavier
I am sorry, Sir. I must say it is a habit of mine.
Kaelum Delacroix
Then you can call me Kaelum or Kai, for short.
Clement Flavier
I could never. It is the most epitome form of disrespect to my employer.
Kaelum Delacroix
Well your employer is telling you to use Kai instead of, Sir.
Clement Flavier
Very well then, Si-... Kai.
Clement smiles at Kai's behaviour.
After our little quarrel I notice that we are already back home.
Kaelum Delacroix
I look forward to our next destination, Mr. Flavier.
Clement Flavier
As well as I, Kai.
Clement Flavier
I wonder what kind of person will he be in the distant future.
*mumbles*
Clement Flavier
Wondering about that brings a smile to my face.
*mumbles*
Kaelum Delacroix
* Stretches *
Kaelum Delacroix
Man, it's always good to be back home.
Deundre Delacroix
You're back.
Kaelum Delacroix
How come you didn't visit me?
Deundre Delacroix
Something came up.
Deundre Delacroix
Why were you admitted. Dad and Mom did'nt tell us why.
Kaelum Delacroix
Apparentally, due to malnutrition and lack of sleep.
Deundre Delacroix
Malnutrition!? Why are you not eating properly?
Deundre Delacroix
Is someone bothering you!? Tell me the name. Your big brother will take care of it.
Kaelum Delacroix
Nobody's bothering me.
Deundre Delacroix
Huh? Then what's the cause of it then.
Kaelum Delacroix
Just busy preparing for college.
Deundre Delacroix
Oh, okay.
Deundre Delacroix
Well then, I'm going to the company, Mom and Dad are looking for me.
Kaelum Delacroix
Bye have a safe trip.
Deundre leaves the house.
Kaelum Delacroix
Finally now that i'm home I can catch some sleep.
Kaelum Delacroix
I haven't slept properly since I left.
I started to wake up and glanced at the window, suprised to see it was already night time.
Kaelum Delacroix
* Yawns *
Kaelum Delacroix
Just how long did I sleep.
I step out to see Adelia waiting for me at the door.
Adelia Delacroix
You're awake. I was just about to kno-.
Kaelum Delacroix
Sorry I haven't eaten anything for the whole day.
Adelia Delacroix
Well I was just about to wake you up for dinner.
Kaelum Delacroix
Shall we go now I am famished.
Adelia Delacroix
Yeah let's.
On the way to the dining room.
Kaelum Delacroix
Is Mom and Dad back home yet?
Adelia Delacroix
Yeah, they arrived just earlier.
We open the doors to the dining room.
Erich Delacroic
You're awake.
Kaelum Delacroix
I would like to skip the small talk and eat as I am quite hungry.
Erich Delacroic
Very well.
