To Find the Sparkle of My Life...
A rainy day
[ PLEASEEEEEE read the warnings in the description before reading!! ]
There were noises coming from the Alley way near the School. It was evening time, around 7 pm...
The sound of low painful groans filled the area
Life is harsh... In ways unimaginable... At least mine is... It's suffocating, and ugly. Those who can fully live it are lucky.
There are people who can't even enjoy the little things in life, or afford the smallest luxuries of it... I'm one of them... It felt like there wasn't a single moment in my life where I could breathe freely, peacefully, without worrying about the very next second.
Jacob Watson
*Scoffed, Grabbed his collar* You think you're some tough shit just cuz she chose you?
Jacob Watson
Well you're hella wrong you bastard. *Punched him in the stomach*
I feel like I'm used to it by now... The words... The actions... Or maybe I'm not.. I can't even tell...
Therion Rulhart
*Coughed up some blood*
Jacob Watson
Weak. I don't even see what she saw in you. *Grabbed his collar and pulled him*
Jacob Watson
And I don't care either. You better leave her if you don't want me to make your life a living hell.
He let me go with a jerk, and stood up spitting at my face... I looked at him as he walked away with his friends.
Therion Rulhart
*Wipes his face and sat up*... { Dang it... }
I guess I'm not used to it... It's a daily routine, so I thought it wouldn't hurt this much by now... It hurts more every time...
Therion Rulhart
*Looked at the time*
It started raining soon after he left the alley. The low melodic sound of the rain drops falling to the ground made the atmosphere pleasant.
The restaurant wasn't as busy as it usually was, due to the rain. The door opened, and he walked in, putting his bag on the counter.
He went to the room behind the counter nodding slightly at the accountant who greeted him.
Ethan Jackson
*Looked at him*
Ethan was the manager of the restaurant...
Ethan Jackson
You're late.
Therion Rulhart
I know, I'm sorry... I got caught up with stuff...
Ethan Jackson
What stuff was so important that you risked your job for it? *Stood up and went to him*
Therion clutched his uniform hoodie tight, tho his expression remained the same.
Therion Rulhart
I'm sorry... *Looked down*
Ethan Jackson
*Arched a brow*
Ethan Jackson
A 'Sorry' won't do it you know... Don't you think you deserve to be punished.. *Smirked slightly*
Therion Rulhart
I'm... *Eyes slightly widened*
He clenched tighter on his hoodie when Ethan started touching him...
Therion Rulhart
S... Sir, I don't feel comfortable... *Low voice*
Ethan Jackson
*Looked at him, smirking slightly*
Ethan Jackson
Well, it is supposed to be a punishment. *Emphasized the word 'is'*
Therion looked away when Ethan pinned him to the table, his mind started racing with thoughts again.
Ethan Jackson
*Started unbuttoning his shirt, leaned and bit his neck*
Therion Rulhart
*Frowned, Clutched the edge of the table* Stop.-
Ethan Jackson
Shh~ *Pushed a finger in his mouth*
He felt like vomiting... He wanted to run away, To disappear to-...
The Letter
Therion was standing next to a table, working overtime yet again, the restaurant was bustling with costumers as soon as the rain stopped.
It was closed, but he still had to clean the tables.
Elena Hills
Therion, darling? *Went to him*
Therion blinked.... Then looked at her...
Elena Hills
There's on table left, why are you standing still? *Put hand on his back*
Therion Rulhart
Right, I'll go clean it...
He went to the last table..
It hurts... Everywhere, it feels like I'm being punched in my insides continuously... I can still feel the touches, still hear his words and...
I feel disgusted... So disgusted that I want to scream, To break something, to rip the skin off my body to-...
I don't want to keep going... I want to die... I don't think I'll be able to keep going...
I'm already so... Tired...
He was cleaning the table picking the tissues when he saw a letter... A letter and a few small things placed next to it...
Therion Rulhart
.... *Picked it up*
He shouldn't, he normally doesn't...
"To whoever is reading this, I'm proud of you. Proud that you were able to live for so long, proud that you were able to wake up today, Proud that you keep going even tho life is harsh... It's very admirable honestly...
And to whoever is reading this, I hope to meet you one day, so don't give up... Keep going, Whatever you do, whatever happens, whatever someone does to you, fight it and keep going..."
.... It was weird honestly, why would anyone write something like this for a stranger? It was weird but.... But-
Therion Rulhart
*Felt tears rolling down his cheek*
He was looking at the letter... It was strange but what was stranger was that he was crying... Why is he crying at these words? Why would he cry at a strangers words? Why does it feel so... So warm?
It's been so long since he's cried he thought he couldn't anymore, he didn't cry when Jacob hit him or bullied him, he didn't cry when Elena made him feel uncomfortable, he didn't cry when Ethan-...
Therion Rulhart
.... *Wiped a tear and looked at the back*
There were more words written on the back, with a few emoticons drawn beside them. These words felt like they were written by a complete opposite person, or maybe it was because the vibe of was different...?
"I'm veryyyyy bad with words sorryyy! ʕ´• ᴥ•̥`ʔ Oh! By the way, they're cute right? I spent two months making them so you better keep them safe! Don't worry I won't come looking for them they're for you, but I hope they're with you when we meet! If we do (◕ᴗ◕✿)"
Therion Rulhart
.... *Blinked*... *Sniffled, and smiled slightly*
He looked at the things that were placed next to the letter, probably the 'They' the person is talking about.
There were four keychains, and two small plushies next to them, they were crocheted.
Therion Rulhart
*Picked it up, looking at it*
Therion Rulhart
.... I'll keep them safe. *Mumbled* Don't worry....
Life is harsh... In ways unimaginable.. But... There's always a sparkle waiting for everyone... You just need to find it...
Weird boy
[ HOW DO I START THE NEXT SCENE WITHOUT MAKING IT BAD NOWWW- 😭😔 ]
The birds were chirping melodiously, the sun shining dimly in the sky.
He woke up to the sound of his alarm ringing.
Therion Rulhart
*Frowned slightly*... *Held head and sat up*
He reached for his phone and turned the alarm off
Therion Rulhart
*Looked at the time*
10 am, Which is startling considering he usually wakes up earlier, but highschool ended yesterday.
Therion Rulhart
*Stood up and went to the bathroom*
He took a quick shower and came out wearing a black button-up shirt, and white pants, the collar button of the shirt still undone and sleeves rolled up.
Therion Rulhart
*Opened his phone*...
He checked his balance...
Therion Rulhart
( This should be enough... )
He closed the phone and opened and put it in his pocket, he wore a hood over the shirt and wore a mask...
Therion Rulhart
*Looked at the letter on the table*
A resignation letter, he resigned from the restaurant, because, who in their right mind would stay? He hadn't considered it earlier but...
"Whatever someone does to you, fight it"-
Therion Rulhart
*Shook head* ( I've gotta look for a job now... )
He picked his phone and ran out...
Therion Rulhart
Just cuz the debt's clear doesn't mean you don't have expenses Therion~ *Mumbled to himself*
He ran down the stairs. Expenses like Paying the rent for the apartment he's living on, or bills or whatever you name it-
Debt? What debt, you might be wondering. Well, his family died in a car crash when he was 14, not very ideal, but he was quite relieved.
Until he learned, his father had taken a loan of 2 million dollars which increased to 9 million dollars including interest in present, he learned it at 16 and ever since then he'd been working mang jobs to pay the debt back, and many I mean it-
From working as a waiter in the restaurant at evening, to a bartender, to tutoring students behind his year, or babysitting, he's done a lot of stuff
And he's finally managed to pay it off.
He was walking around aimlessly looking for a job, he'd left all the other jobs as well.
Therion Rulhart
*Stomach grumbled slightly*
He looked at his stomach and saw a café nearby, he went there and-
I didn't intend to live... I would've died two days ago if it wasn't for tha letter... It's ridiculous, really... Having the words of a stranger who I've never seen, heard or net, effect me so much...
But reading that letter, reading those words made me feel warm... Like I didn't want to die... Like-
Like I wanted to see what would happen if I don't die...
I felt hungry when looking roaming around in search of a job, so I went to the Café nearby.
A ma- Boy around my age probably, was also entering the Café... I paused tho because he held the door open for me..
Therion Rulhart
*Looked at him confused*
Arnold Reymond
*Smiled* Oh, your welcome, you looked like you were out of energy...
Therion Rulhart
.... *Arched a brow* Sorry?
Arnold Reymond
No, it's okay, have a nice day alright? *Ran in*
Therion just stood there, startled... 'Have a nice day'? It was such a normal thing to say yet... It felt so.. Weirdly warm when he said it...
Therion Rulhart
.... Okay...? *Blinked*
Therion walked in and went to the counter, he simple ordered a sandwich, and juice, and walked out after taking his order.
Therion Rulhart
( What a weird boy.. ) *Took a bite of the sandwich*
