I still couldn't believe what happened yesterday night. I did indeed fell asleep, but it probably was because i was just so tired of everything.

I sat down in our home tent with my mother, eating our food. She knew what was going on.

"My daughter, what is wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing mother.." i answered holding my tears back, i didn't know what had overcome me.
"Yes there is. that boy?" She was damn right.
"Yes mother.. that boy.." i answered. I couldn't hold is back anymore, i am a bad lair and i don't like lying.
"This he hurt you?" She asked me.
"No mother, i hurt him..".
"Tell me, my daughter.." she said while brushing her hand thru my lose long hair.
"I don't know mother, i like him, he like me, but we can't." I told her.

"What?." She said and stopped brushing my hair. This was the exact reaction i jad expected.
"Yes of coarse you can't. HE'S A FOREST BOY." she shouted at me, she was right next to me and needed to make sure i heard her.
"Mother, he's.." i tried saying.
"NO."

After that it was quiet, you could hear a needle fall. The only sounds i heard were the people talking and the waves.

Someone came to visite us, someone looked around the cornor of our home tent...

"Miss, do you mind if me and y/n could play in the water for a bit?" I heard a girl voice say.
It was kiri, she was really on point at this time, i really needed someone else around me now.
My mother took a quick look at me and approved.

I walked out our home tent right to the beach. Kiri noticed i had a different mood this time, "is there something wrong?" She asked me while we were walking.
"Yes kiri.. yes..." I answered,
"Oh eywa.. what is it?" She asked.
"My mother-.. no.. my mother and i had a fight.." i always said the story about her brother and my and how my mother didn't approve. But at this point i was to scared to tell her, i might lose her as a friend to..
"For what? You never do something wrong?" She said.
"Yes i still do stupid things.." i said.
"Well, what was it about?" She asked me.
"I can't tell you.. i really can't, can we please just swim it away?" I asked her.
She nodded and it only lasted a few seconds above water.

Neteyam's pov:

After yesterday night i was kind of... Lost? I really didn't what was going on and how to react on it.
Was a such a bad person?
Was a such a bad representation?
Was a such a bad moron?

I love her the spark she has.
I love her lose hair.
I love the way she teaches me.
I love her jewellery.
I love how she is herself.
I love her.

I was flying my ikran, maybe i just needed fresh air.
But that didn't really help, i could fly for hours but my only thought would stay "what do i do next with her?"
I just wanted to the answer she won't answer.

I landed my ikran and gave him a small hug. I saw my little brother on the beach with tsireya, of coarse he has to be the better sibling, he has all the luck.
I walked to my home tent, seeing my mother making food. "Hello mother, i'm back." I said with a downtoned voice.

Apperantly my mother noticed that,
"What is wrong Neteyam, you seem off.."
She asked me.
"Can i ask you something?" I replied,
"Yes of coarse, what is it?" She answered.
I sat next to her and asked her :" when you first saw dad, you wanted to kill him, right?" I asked.
"Ohh that kind of story, yes indeed i did.." she answered.
"Well, you know that girl who helped kiri? And saved me from drowning?" I asked.
"Oh y/n! Yes.. but.. she saved you?" She asked me in confusion.
"Yeah she did, we were swimming and i thought i could hold my breath longer... But.. i couldn't and she apperantly brought me to her home tent.." i explained.
"She really did? Well whats wrong with her then?"  She asked.
"Well... I don't know but... I think..-"  i got cut off by my little sister.
"You think you love her? YOU LOVE HER, EEEK!" she explained AND shouted so everyone could hear it.
"What did i hear?" My dad said walked in our home tent, great. Now almost everyone is here and i still have to finish my story.
My mother smiled at me, she really knew.
"Well.... What did i hearrrr??" Dad said again, "nothing ma jake, you don't need to worry about that kind of stuff!" My mother said while she gave my dad a smirk.
Now ALSO my dad knew.
"Well in that case, i will give you 2 a moment. Come tuk, we will get something to eat OUTSIDE here!" He said carrying tuk and walking away.

"You really love her?" My mother asked,
I signed and nodded.
"Well what's the problem then, ask her!" She asked me.
"Her mother doesn't accept that she even has a friendship with me." I confessed.
"Oh eywa that women. Trust me, i hate her as much as you do." My mother answered.
We both giggled.
"Don't worry about her mother, get her answer every chance you get, you will get it.." she said.

It wasn't exactly a relieving answer but atleast i knew what to do now.
