cigarettes out the window

***Thirteen***

y/n pov

i wake up to the sound of my alarm going off with its usual noise i've grown quite used to. i groan and grab my phone to look at notifications i missed overnight, nothing important. i finally roll out of bed and get ready for the day, the bruise was still pretty brutal but it was nothing some makeup couldn't cover up.

later in the day...

"why don't you and aiya get to know one another?" atsumu proposes to me as we are sitting together at lunch

i take a moment to think about it and all the horrible outcomes until aiya interrupts "i think it's a great idea!"

"yeah exactly! so l/n, aren't i the smartest person ever?!"

"yeah" i reply with a fake laugh afterwards

"well then, why don't we go out for a coffee this weekend?" aiya asks me with a secret smirk

"sure why not" i respond sounding incredibly uninterested.

the rest of the day goes on and as well as the school week and unfortunately for me it was time for my coffee date with aiya. i was dreading this day, damn you aiya. it's not atsumu's fault since he doesn't know what has happened behind closed doors.

shirabu🙄

BAHAHAHA
oh boy y/n you really
got your pickle in a
knot this time🤣🤣
but in all seriousness
lmk if smth goes wrong

to be your aunt and u
need to be home

thank you shirabu, i
appreciate that

anything for you ig🙄

thanks ill need it😐

i walk into the coffee shop and spot her immediately unfortunately. i walk over to where she is seated and sit across from her.

"hey aiya" i greet her

"wow you actually showed"

"well yeah, i felt like i had to"

"let's get to know each other, what do you do for fun? other then hoe around"

i scoff at her comment "excuse me?"

"you heard me" she smirks

"well fyi, i like volleyball so maybe that's why im actually manager and not to be a hoe. i like music and smoking weed, why do you care to know me? we all know you dislike me"

"well... atsumu had a point, shouldn't we get to know each other through mutual friends?"

i think deeply into her words. nothing but fake  displayed through them and her body language. something tells me she isn't being sincere about something but just what is it...

we continue having mutual talk, the tension was there and thick enough to cut through with a knife. while on our walk i got saved by a phone call from my aunt, but was it really a save?

"hey i have to go, sorry" i say to aiya in a panic as i get off the phone

she looks at me with curiosity but it is burning with a mocking face before she turns around and walks away. i then notice the pit in my stomach getting more harsh, my chest turning heavy. there is no way this is happening, i begin to run in hopes of getting back to my vehicle in time so i could race to my aunts. my vision turned blurry because of tears threatening to fall down my rosy cheeks, due to limited vision i collided with someone.

"i am so sor- oh my god suna. i am so sorry i-" i say panicking

suna puts his hands on my shoulders to calm me down "woah what's with the rush? are you okay?"

"i um" my voice broke and tears fell and i felt my knees grow weak

"hey it's okay" he says calmly and helps guide me to a patch of grass so we didn't block the path "sit down" he says and he take a seat with me "just take deep breaths"

i take some breaths until i felt calmer and less panicked "suna... i'm not safe at my aunts anymore"

he takes a moment before he speaks again "you never were safe l/n, did something else happen though to worsen it?"

"my dad is being released from jail"

suna pov

those words she said made my heart drop "oh shit" was all i could manage to get out at this time

"i need to go"

"where? back to your aunts? let me come with you, i don't want you getting hurt"

"i'd rather die then stay at my aunts, im grabbing all my shit and leaving"

i felt slightly relieved knowing she was leaving however "where are you gonna stay though?"

"i don't know but i will figure it out. i will be contacting child services to get him locked up again, the only reason he got released is because there is no custody forms on who takes care me and they think im an orphan and they stopped believing all the abuse bullshit because my mom is dead so she can't confirm that it's true and they don't believe me when i tell them because they call me crazy and a troubled teen who just needs a parent figure" i rant

"that's a load of bullshit i'm so sorry this is happening. how much time do we have to get your things?"

"about four hours"

"let's go, i'll help you".

we continue to run to her car and we drive to her aunts house. we go into her room and throw all her clothes and essentials into suitcases and bags then transported them into her car. it took us quite a while but we were successful. we headed into her car and she began to mindlessly drive to take her mind off of things so she could figure out a plan.

"let me give my mom a call... but before i do how comfortable would you be to live with me?"

"suna i can't do that to you" she frowns

"my mother is the most understanding person i know, we have a spare room. i'm almost certain she will not care"

l/n sighs and agrees to my idea so i call my mom and tell her that l/n is not safe at her home. i mentioned to her if l/n was comfortable to tell her everything then she would at a later date. of course my mom was happy to take her in, especially if it meant her safety. i let l/n know she is good to stay at my house for as long as she needs so we head to my house. once we arrive i tell her we can bring her things in later but first i could give a house tour and introduce her to my mom and sister.

"hello ma, we are here" i call out

"hello rin, hello l/n, my name is mai" she smiles softly to the two of us

l/n bows and gives an appreciative smile but you could easily see the pain behind it "it is nice to meet you mai. thank you so much for taking me in, it means so much to me. i am happy to go into more detail on my situation if need be. i promise i will not cause trouble or drag you into it. and i will not get into your hair too much"

my mom smiles sweetly at her "it is my pleasure, take your time and if you ever feel ready to tell me more you may, if not that's fine too. let's give you a tour".

we show l/n around the house and we introduce her to my sister, kayo who loved l/n immediately and it was nice to see. we inform her on casual rules here, which there isn't many anyways. my mom let her park in the garage so nobody could find her vehicle sitting outside and hunt her down. we help her move everything into where her room would be and settle in.

i let l/n have some alone time and i told her she is good to get me whenever she may need to. after some time passes we get called down for dinner, we had ravioli, it was one of kayo's favourites. after dinner us kids helped clean up and we went back to doing our own thing for the night.
