[Book Three] Not So Brittle [IDOLiSH7 Love story]

19

It was most of the afternoon the four girls worked together to figure out how to do the routines that were known and adjusted for a trio back to being a quartet. Once they had it down to a cue they went into the back as the three males had entered the back. Mika and Sarina rushed up to their significant others as Ayano just smiled at Gaku and walked with Liya to their dressing room. When the duo got to the dressing room Liya got out of Ayano's bag her inhaler before sitting beside her sister. 

"I saw how your movements were getting sis, you need to stop pushing yourself so hard." Liya said concerned

After Ayano finished using her inhaler she looked at Liya with a sad smile "I'll be fine, it's why I didn't rush over to Gaku. I knew I needed to take care of myself. This is strike one for Mika. Two more and I will ask Gaku's father to remove her."

"I....I'mma go talk with her." Liya said weakly as she got up and went to find Mika

When she did Mika was being a chatty catty towards Ryu. "Oi...Tsiki. Do you not remember you are being monitored to be better to my big sis or are you really that willing to leave Sweet Angels." Liya said angered

Mika's orange eyes widened as she looked at Liya. "W-What happened with her?"

"Tch, if you don't even know then you are more oblivious than I took you for. Enjoy what you can of the life you have at this rate you won't be a sweet Angel for long...bitch." She said before she muttered the last part under her breath as she walked off

Mika was confused only for Ryu to place his hands on her upper arms. "You need to keep your attention on Ayano for now Mika, I don't mind being around you but you need to get in Ayano's good graces. Ayano looked like she was about to pass out when the three of us came here. She has asthma right?"

Mika placed her hand over her mouth. "Oh shit! I need to go Ryu!" She said before she rushed back to the dressing room

when she did Tenn was in the room with Sarina, Ayano and Liya. Tenn and Sarina were on either side of Ayano as she was sobbing out holding her chest. Tenn was looking at her with a concerned, upset expression on his face as Sarina had a concerned expression on her face. 

"Ayano...are you okay?" Mika asked as she went up to her 

Sarina got up and pushed her away from Ayano "Because of you she first had an asthma attack that turned into this a combination of her asthma and anxiety going off! Do you enjoy seeing Ayano like this?! She's giving you a second chance to prove that you actually care about her! You should have went with Liya! I haven't seen Tenn in years because of something that wasn't my fault! I don't know Ayano as well as you and Liya does! I had a reason not to be around her when things went down for her you did!" Sarina said angered 

Mika looked at Ayano upset that she had been the one to cause her having the attacks she had. Mika grabbed Ayano's inhaler and knelt down in front of Ayano. "Ayano, I'm sorry. I'm going to help you out now. Is your inhaler empty is that why you aren't taking it?"

She nodded her head through her sobs as she was dry heaving for air, Mika got up and went to Ayano's bag where she got the refill for her inhaler and shook it for Ayano as she walked back towards her. Mika grabbed a hold of on of Ayano's hands as she gave her the inhaler. 

"Deep breath in Aya, it'll be alright I'm right here." Mika spoke softly and sincerely to her

Ayano took a bit of her inhaler into her before she took a deep breath out, Ayano did this three times before she hugged Mika tightly. Mika hugged her back and petted the back of her head softly. "There-there Aya, I truly am sorry. I should have stayed by your side instead of leaving your side for Ryu like I had. I know I fucked up again, I don't know the signs of your asthma getting to you like Liya does and that's on me for not being more observant."

Ayano looked at her confused "Y-You don't?"

Mika shook her head no "You don't usually have your asthma attacks near me even though your shitty father made damn sure that Liya, Akara and I knew how to deal with them if they came the same time as your anxiety attacks."

"At least he did that right, T-Thank you and I won't hold it against you since you didn't know what I look like or act like when one is about to happen. My Asthma attacks only happen when I push my body too much."

Mika's orange eyes widen "And you did earlier didn't you?"

"Y-Yeah...I did."

Mika looked at Ayano sadly "Don't push yourself so hard Ayano, you're never the one that needs to be more precise with our dances, that's me. Don't over do yourself like that again...please?"

Ayano nodded her head. "I can try not to but no promises."

Tenn raised an eyebrow at Mika, "So you never knew what triggers or how she acts when she has an asthma attack?"

"Nope, only Liya has. Which was no surprise that Liya was the one to be at her side." Mika said shaking her head

Tenn looked at Sarina "Stop glaring at her, it's not her fault she had no idea what was going on with Ayano. From what I've gathered from the time I've known Ayano she doesn't let a lot of people know how she behaves or her emotions that much. So the fact that Mika didn't know about what was going on with Ayano isn't her fault."

Sarina huffed out with her arms crossed "It's still bull shit."

Tenn got up and shook his head "I won't disagree with you there but you are new to the trio, you are going to have to learn to understand how they've been before you were around. There is a lot that has happened with them that made them be what they are now. And you slowly need to learn what they went through by talking with all of them-not just Ayano."

"I don't want to talk to the other two." Sarina huffed out

Ayano got up and looked at Sarina seriously "If  you do not talk with my younger sister or Mika you will not get far as a Sweet Angel, I can tell people the truth about why you left out if you want people to hate you for being gone for three years if you aren't going to comply with talking nicely to my sister and Mika." Ayano said seriously

Sarina's golden eyes widened "Y-You wouldn't!"

Tenn shook his head as he placed his hands on his hips "She goes through with her threats Sarina, I've seen it happen before. And must I add to what she's said and compare you to the whiney brat you once dated? Because that's what is happening right now, do you want that to be your legacy Sarina?"

Sarina averted her eyes upset as she let out a sigh. "No....I don't."

"Then grow up and talk with the two other adults respectfully and with an open mind. You aren't going to know everything if you don't talk with both of them." Tenn said seriously
