Just Let It Be.

9 - Oblivious to Things

~Angel’s P.O.V.~

I was running through the house/mansion whatever you call looking for my cousin to tell her that she has become my new personal haircut lady as well as the rest of the guys since they like trimming their hair but don’t exactly know how nor do they like going to salons because of other annoying women. “Damn it! Where the hell did this chick go!” I must have ran through this place like twenty times. I even have Reiji, Ruki and Azusa helping me look since they are the only ones I found. I stopped as I heard a door open and Ruki come in holding a sleeping Sam bridal style. I instantly ran to them and was about to yell until Ruki gave me a look that said ‘Don’t you dare.’ I halted and waited for an explanation. “She was out there for a while and she was crying…” I become concerned as I look at Sam and see the tear stains on her cheeks. “I wonder why she was crying and why she was outside?” I question “Did you forget a current creature is this house…maybe it said something to her that upset her.” Ruki stated and it made me realize Monica was here. Oh shit did Sam end up alone with Monica? I become angered “IT most likely did. I swear to god if she brought up anything from freshman year I will kick her ass..” I gritted my teeth. Sam has been through enough and is still because of that girl.. “I shouldn’t have left her alone after she cut my hair…I feel this is my fault now.” Ruki sighs “It’s not your fault, yes you shouldn’t have left her alone but it’s not your fault Angel…we will find out what happened. Right now Sam is freezing we should get her to bed.” I nod and we both start walking to Sam’s only to hear unpleasant noises coming from Shuu’s room. Ruki glared and I became disgusted. “Are you fucking serious…? There are guests in the house…that don’t need to hear that shit…!” Yeah my temper was started to reach its boiling point. “Let’s just leave; Sam doesn’t need to hear that as she sleeps. I’ll let her sleep in my room since it’s far from here. Maybe we can see if we can get her a different room away from them.” Ruki says glaring at Shuu’s room. “Yeah, I ask him..” I agreed “Don’t need to. I will have her room switched tomorrow. Since my brother and Monica have no respect for others or Sam.” Reiji says as he is behind me along with Azusa and Subaru. The three of them looked pissed mostly because I know Reiji and he does have rules about lewd actions in the house if there are guests. As for Azusa and Subaru they were glaring at the door. These boys are something else. “Angel I know what happened and it’s most likely the reason Sam was outside...” Azusa says without stopping or whispering. I admit Azusa only speaks like this when it’s Sam other than that he speaks softly and slowly. “Why?” was all I asked. The others looked at him as well. “Let’s take Sam to Ruki’s room first and we’ll talk there. The five of us nodded and headed for Ruki’s room. Once inside Ruki laid Sam gently on the bed and covered her with blankets before tuning to Azusa waiting for the reason. “So what happened with Sam and Monica?” Subaru asks anger in his tone. Azusa looked at Sam and then at us. “She told her she doesn’t understand why we waste time on Sam….and she also told and threatened Sam by saying she wonders if she tells us the truth about Sam or shows us something about Sam…That we won’t want to be her friend anymore…” At that moment I looked at Reiji and he was wide eyed and in shock like me. See I had told Reiji everything about me and Sam because I wanted him to know why she and I live alone at our age. So he knows what Monica meant I looked at Ruki since he too knows everything which is why he’s super body guard to Sam. As for Subaru and Azusa they were both confused and slightly worried. “What else did she say?” I questioned trying to see how much he heard. “It looked like she was going to say more but Shuu showed up and he helped Sam clean up and said something to her which in turn made Monica angry and Sam left the room quickly.” He replied I sigh to myself “Angel, do you know what Monica has that could make us think twice about Sam…? Not that I would…but if what she says is true wouldn’t Sam be in trouble because of it..?” Azusa asks me. Subaru looked at as if I knew what he meant and I did. It made think about what had happened to my cousin and all the pain she had endured. Not even I would have made it through what she did and some people still call her a liar or worse. “I didn’t know she still had things on her…but this is something that we should talk about with Sam. Yes, she may be my cousin but I will not talk about without her.” I replied with no emotion in my voice. I looked at my Sam sleeping in the bed and saw she looked peaceful. “I agree with Angel. We should have Sam tell when she’s ready. We just have to make sure she not alone while Monica is here.” Subaru utters quietly while looking at her worryingly. “We should let her sleep. We’ll help her switch rooms tomorrow. There is an extra room near Subaru’s room that Sam actually wanted but was convinced to be next to that good for nothing brother of mine” Reiji states. We all nod and leave the room as Sam sleeps. “Ruki where are you going to sleep?” I asked as he shut the door quietly. He smirked “Next to Sam once I get tired and after I finish some homework I have.” His younger brother and Subaru glared and I giggled. “You better not do anything to her got it!” He nods “I’m not Laito so don’t worry. Sam is safe.” I hear Subaru and Azusa growl which makes me want to laugh. “Hey stop being jealous you two. You know Sam loves you both!” they both go red and Subaru storms off yelling that he isn’t jealous but he is. As for Azusa he admits it and Ruki just takes his hat and ruffles his hair. “You don’t have to worry…I just want to keep her safe is all…but she is rather cute~” and he escapes to his room clearly teasing Azusa. I shake my head come on we should be sleeping right now we have to move Sam into a different room tomorrow. “What about Shuu…? Won’t he…be suspicious…?” Azusa asks. “Don’t worry about him Azusa. With the way things are I want to see how much he actually cares.” Reiji states before taking my hand and walking away to our room. “Angel do you think Monica will use ‘that’ against Sam?” I hear Reiji question. “Yes, Eventually she will…I just don’t know when she’ll use…” I’m scared now for Sam. “You know, I thought at one point that Shuu actually cared for Sam more than just a friend…but now I feel stupid for even thinking it.” Reiji pulls me inside the room we shared when I was here. “I did too and honestly I still think he does, but like you said its stupid of me to think that as well especially after what just happened. When the truth comes out we’ll see what side he takes. For we must keep Sam safe I made that promise to both her and you.” He hugs me and I hug back. “Yeah we have to keep her safe from the she-devil” I giggle. “Exactly, though I heard from Yuuma that Subaru almost kissed her today~ Maybe Subaru will win her heart or lose to Azusa.” I was in shock “Whoa!? Wait Subaru almost kissed Sam!! UGH!! He could have won if he did!! And Sam would be happy!!” Reiji chuckled but then held a sad look “But she’s in love with Shuu. Do you really think she could love Subaru without thinking of Shuu? Azusa has a better chance right now then Subaru…” I sigh “That’s true…but what if Subaru can make her forget about Shuu! Ugh…what am I saying!? I know Sam. That’s not even a possibility right now or ever.” Reiji sighs as sits on his sofa “well only time will tell…Now changing the subject completely. You know Sam is one of the students on the list for the Julliard’s Scholarship for music?” I go wide eyed “What?! But that’s in New York!! She deserves it though.” Reiji nods “that she does, but if she does get it she will have to leave for a long time. Meaning?” That’s when it hits me “We won’t see her and she’ll be alone.” Reiji once again nods “and since she’s a senior and her friends also have plans of their own after high school and other will still be in school she can’t ask anyone to go with her. This is something she wanted too. I just hope she’ll take the opportunity when it comes.” It was my turn to nod “I just don’t want her to be alone…again. I mean before she was alone for two years while still a freshman and sophomore since I still lived with my own parents until they decided to move out of state it was Sam that helped me convince them because they loved her and was proud of how she handled things after what happened to her. These decisions will be made soon. Correction…a lot of them will be made soon and I don’t know if I’m ready for them.” I felt tear prick my eyes and Reiji came to embrace me as I started crying. Yeah I was a crybaby I admit that. I’m not good at holding my emotions well. “Shhh…I’m here for you and you know Sam is too besides its part of growing up is it not? Don’t worry my dear thing will be alright.” He kissed the top of my head. I grumbled “I hate that you know how to calm me down with just sweet words...” He chuckles “I love you too.”
