The Three F's part 1

It's not much, but I felt like it was taking forever for me to update, so... there will be a part 2. Comment, vote, and enjoy! :)

Sang's P.O.V.

"Sang..." I held up my finger. "Before you call the others so they can come give me a big speech and what not, I wanna say that I'm sorry for lying, and, ...... that my hands are cut too." I cringed at my words before uncovering my hands. I was such a horrible person, lying to them when they only wanted to make sure I was okay. "Kota? I think I will call Mr. Blackbourne this time." Neither of them hid their shock as I pulled out my phone and dialed his number. My hands shook slightly. "Hello?" I ask into the phone. "Can I help you with something Ms. Sorenson?" "Um, yeah....how do I say this? Well, IneedyoutocallafamilymeetingbecauseeventhoughItoldKotaIwasfineI'Mnot." I rush out. There is a pause on his end of the line before he says, "Could you please repeat that slower?" I sigh. "Can you call a family meeting? And tell Sean to bring his first aid kit? It's not an emergency, but as soon as possible?" I believe I have his full attention now. "15 minutes. We'll be there." He hangs up and I stand, pacing back and forth in Nathan's living room. I start to mumble. "What am I going to do?" "Sang." "What if they hate me and don't want to put up with me anymore because I keep lying to them?" "Sang." "What wi-" "Sang." I turn to Nathan, who I can tell is dead serious by his eyes. "Sit." His sharp voice causes a knee jerk reaction and I sit back on the couch. I stare at my hands in my lap. "Look at me." With watery eyes, I look up at him. His voice softens. "Stop worrying. You're part of our family now. You want to know the three F's of family?" I nod. "First, forever, and fun." I giggle, causing a smile from both of them. "Do you believe that?" He asks. I nod. "Then believe me when I say that we're not going anywhere." I nod and we sit in silence until the others get here. The door opens and I hear North's booming voice. "Hello?" The weight of what I have to do now dawns on me and I start to tremble slightly. "Sang, why don't you go wait in the kitchen. I'll tell you when to come out, okay?" I nod and rush to the kitchen. After listening to voices for a couple minutes, Kota enters the kitchen. "Ready?" I nod and follow him to the silence of the living room. All are present, and look concerned. Mr. Blackbourne clears his throat as I enter. Gabriel speaks up first. "Oy, who called a meeting on such short notice?" Trembling, I stand at the front of the room. "I did." I say. All gazes shift to me, and I now have their full attention. "I called a meeting, because as you all know, yesterday, I left to return to my stepmother's house." North growled as I paused to let the news sink in. "And, as you also know, earlier I notified Kota I was okay." I take a deep breath before finishing my thought. "But, I.... am not." I say, lifting up my sleeves and readjusting my skirt so you can see my cuts. Gabriel let out a curse and I watched North and Silas clench their fists and jaws. After a moment of silence, North erupted in shouts. "How did that happen? Why didn't you tell us?!" Tears pricked at my eyes. "Mr. Taylor!" Mr. Blackbourne said, my spine instantly snapping up to correct my posture. Making his way quickly to me, Luke scooped me into his arms as my tears fulfilled their threats, spilling out onto his shoulder. I hear a quiet curse and footsteps, catching a whiff of musk. Oh no. Now North thinks he made me cry. The thought of North blaming himself made me cry harder. "It's okay, I've got you." Luke murmured, rubbing my back slowly. My crying died down some, not stopping but at least was less dramatic.

Nathan's P.O.V.

I watch as North leaves and Sang cries into Luke. Poor Sang. "What's wrong?" I hear Luke whisper. She murmurs something. "What did she say?" Kota asks. Luke shrugs. "Something about lying and that she's scared." Scared, lying, North's statement...the puzzle pieces click. "Give her to me." I say. Luke passes her to me gently and I hold her against me. "Sang. I meant what I said earlier. I'm not going anywhere. And I doubt they are either." She sniffs. "Sorry-" "Don't say that. You have nothing to be sorry for." Kota cuts in. Luke leans in to whisper something into Sang's ear. She nods and stands up. "Thank you for not going super crazy. I'm going to go look for North. I'm taking my phone..." She quickly glanced at Kota before continuing. "And I'm sorry I lied." Kota slowly placed his hand on his forehead and I smirked, knowing how it annoys him when she apologizes, watching Peanut run out of the door.
