10 - Unable to leave

Your POV

"I have to leave this place, I have to go back home, my family is waiting for me..."

I whispered to myself, looking in the mirror.
Suddenly someone knocked loudly on the door, making me flinch.

I don't want to leave them but I think it's time...

"(Y/N)?? Are you okay, you've been in there for a while now..!"
Nami asked, continuing to turn the doorknob, making it shake. The door was locked.

"Y-Yeah, hold on a second please!"
I responded proceeding to flush the toilet to make it seem that was why I was in there.

"I'll see you in the kitchen! Don't be too long, okay? We're waiting for you!"

Nami yelled through the door, her feet making a shadow under it.

"Okay!"

I responded.
I took a deep breath before opening the door. I had to tell them, if I did I had to do it now.
I couldn't live here forever....
Walking on the deck, I head for the kitchen.
My heart was beating rapidly, more than I could ever imagine.

Once I got to the kitchen door, I slowly opened it, immediately feeling eyes on me.

"H-Hey guys!"
I smiled warmly as they all greeted me.

"Heya, (Y/N)!"
Usopp greeted.

"Phew, finally, I thought you died in the bathroom or something, haha!"
Nami laughed.

"Nope, still alive, hehe!"
I laughed with her before looking towards a certain straw hat who had seemingly been staring at me ever since I walked in the room.
His facial expression looked serious and his aura scared me. But then, it quickly turned into a welcoming expression, a big smile planted on his face.

"(Y/N)! Why don't you sit next to me!"
Luffy exclaimed, patting the empty seat next to him.

Little drops of sweat formed on my forehead, I was getting nervous. Nervous as in fear of Luffy what might do because of yesterday. I gulped and forced a warm smile.

"O-Oh! That's okay, Luffy! I already decided that I would sit next to Na-.."

"Sit."

Luffy said, cutting me off.
His aura became intimating again, and he was glaring at me.
The whole crew fell confused and silent watching this go down.
I swear I felt my hands fall off from the amount of sweat was they were producing.
I gulped once more before nodding again, making my way into the seat next to Luffy.

He didn't stop staring at me until I sat down and immediately turned into his goofy self again. With that smile that could make anyone melt.

Our bodies were so close and his knee was touching mine, sending shivers down my spine.
I tried to shake off the weird feeling but it was almost like he wasn't letting me....

I was snapped out of my gaze from Sanji, placing down my food, with his usual flirtatious antics.
I giggled, and politely thanked him.

"Thank you, Sanji! Your food always tastes-.."

I froze. Looking down, under the table, a veiny, strong hand was gripping on my thigh. What was even worse was that a pair of eyes were glaring right at me before I could even look up to see whose it belonged to.

It was Luffy's, and he was staring, just staring. It was kind of blank but showed anger at same time. I quickly looked away, breathing heavily, trying to pry off Luffy's hand.
