will I ever be enough? (sk8 the infinity story)

extra chap. (7/9) Masae, reki's mother-360 words

Langa woke me up, I had only been asleep for a couple hours.

"Ms. Kyan?" His voice was breaking as he spoke.

I yawned and sat up, "Huh?" He inched his way closer, "It's Langa. Reki locked his door and I'm worried about him. Could you go check on him?"

I pieced together his sentence for a couple moment.
"Oh yes. Let's go." I whispered back. I passed a shorter boy with black hair. I'm not quite sure who that is but he seems to know Reki. I lead the kids back to Reki's room.

"I can't hear him.." the younger boy started to cry.

What's going on?

"Reki, sweetie. Can you hear me?" I said louder than I should in the quietness of the house.
"Reki?" I repeated after he didn't come, a little louder.

The boy tapped me, "Do you have a card? I can pick the lock."
I nodded as I quickly went to grab an old hotel card.

He kneed down and was able to unlock the door. He has a talent for that.

I walked in and my eyes latched onto the bathroom door, 'please don't come in.'

No, no! This isn't right. My baby, he- oh dear.

I blinked and I was in front of the bathroom door, trying to get my poor child's bathroom door open.

How could this happen?

My voice was barely a whisper, begging for him to open the door, "We can help you, son. Please still be alive."

I can't let my baby boy die. Not like this. He's not meant to die. I was suppose to see him grow up.

Tears would not stop. Sobs escaped my mouth and I begged for the door to unlock. My vision was strictly on the door. I barely noticed when Koyomi came to give me a hug.

I'm sorry, Mama. I didn't mean to do all this. I've kept a lot from you. Not just about myself, but about things I've been doing. Later, ask Langa about our friends. All this was a big mistake. Thank you for everything, mama. I love you so much. More than you could ever know.
