New Beginnings

Chp. 15

The next morning, we were all sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast when the front door opened. Causing everyone to freeze.

"Natsumi!"

'Mom?!'

I bolted up, but immediately fell causing everyone to jump up and try to help me. Suga being the considerate person he is called out to her.

"She's in here!"

I heard foot steps as I leaned on Suga for support to stay up right. My mom ran through the door way and stopped to take me in. I couldn't hold back my tears and started to cry as I reached out for her. She caught me in her arms and held me tight as we both sank to the ground.

"My baby. My sweet girl."

We held each other and cried for a minute. Suga took that moment to usher the guys out of the kitchen.

"We'll leave you two alone."

When we were finally alone and there was less crying. We pulled away from each other.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't be here sooner. I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you."

I could hear the agony in her voice, and I went to speak, but stopped. Thinking fast I looked around for something to write with when I spotted my phone on the floor next me.

'Suga.'

Picking it up I quickly type out a response.

'It's not your fault, so don't apologize. Besides your here now, and that's all that matters.'

"How can you be so calm after what happened?"

'I won't lie it's been difficult, but I've had support from Ki, Auntie, Suga, and the rest of the team.'

Sniffling, she wiped her face, and calmed down a little more.

"Suga? Your aunt told me about a young man who refused to leave your side. Is that him?"

'Yes, that's him. He's the one with the gray hair and the mole on his cheek.'

I could feel my cheeks heating up as my mom gave me a knowing look and smirked.

"Oh my, you like him don't you?"

I nodded shyly.

"I have to meet him, but first lets get you up, and I know just who to ask."

She got up to go to the doorway.

"Um, could the one named Suga come here please? We need help."

'Oh no she's about to embarrass me.'

I held my head in my hand and sighed. I heard foot steps getting closer to the kitchen. As soon as he walked in, he noticed me still on the floor, and helped me up into a chair.

'Thanks.'

"No problem."

"Thank you. I couldn't lift her by myself."

"Its no trouble at all."

"Have a seat. I wanted to talk to you as well."

He sat down next to me, and gave my mom his full attention.

"I have heard quite a lot about you for my sister, Kiyoko, and NaNa. I want to personally....  thank you for being there for my little girl when I couldn't."
