Lonna's Cowardice

As soon as Mr. Min parked the car in front of the house, Pamela rushed to get her things out of the back. “You’re a mother that can’t cut the cord.” Mr. Min said as he followed her to the back of the car.

“Why do you say that?” Pamela asked as she anxiously awaited him to open the hatch.

Mr. Min opened the back and ducked his head in, so he could retrieve Pamela’s bags. “Well, just two days, and you’ve already insisted on coming back.” He handed her the luggage. “Your daughter won’t be missing.”

“I just…”

“Okay, I’m kidding.” He interrupted as he shut the door back. “I need to work overtime tonight. I’ll be back tomorrow.” Pamela nodded her head and quickly walked past him.

“See you tomorrow.” She said as he got back in the van. She stopped rolling her baggage and picked it up, so she could run to the gate in front of the house. Once she pushed it open, she rushed inside.

She hurriedly took off her shoes and ran into the living room. “Lonna. Yoongi.” She yelled as she ran over to the stairs. “Lonna. Yoongi.” Her heart pounded in her chest with fear as she skipped steps to make it upstairs. She was scared of what she would find as she reached the top.

After searching each of the many rooms, Pamela was thrown off to find that her gut feeling was wrong. She sat down in the chair. Those two kids…really aren’t here. The thought calmed her only by a minimum. Now she couldn’t help but wonder where they were, and if they were together.

Lonna’s POV

Once he was dressed fully, Suga had taken the blanket and wrapped it around both of them. Lonna laid her head on his shoulder as he held her hand in his and used the thumb of his other hand to rub the back of her knuckles. If you don’t want to I’m sure Suga would understand. Krystal’s belief did nothing to calm her as she sat beside him so closely. Her body was no longer shaking from the cold, but from the tension she was feeling. She was scared that he would soon make a move and that he would be angered if she refused.

Suga could feel Lonna shaking beside him, and with how she had reacted to being alone with him, he knew what she was worried about. “In this place, I wouldn’t do anything. You don’t need to be so scared.” His words had made Lonna feel slightly better, just as he had intended.

Suddenly, the sound of Lonna’s cellphone ringing broke the quiet. Suga leaned forward and picked it up to open the screen and see who it was. “It’s from home.” He said. Lonna quickly grabbed it from him and answered it, then hung it up just as quickly.

Pamela’s POV

Pamela paced the floor as the other end of the phone rang. She nervously bit on her fingernails as it did. “Hello?!” She shouted as the ringing stopped. “Hello?”

Hearing the dial tone again, she stood frozen. In the fog of her thoughts, she sat back down in the chair and placed the phone back on it’s charger. She stayed in the chair, watching the sun set as her fears felt like they were reality once more.

Lonna’s POV

Lonna felt someone had knocked the air from her lungs. Why is mom home? Shouldn’t they be back tomorrow? Suga watched as she sat frozen, unconsciously moving her finger over the screen of her phone.If she finds out that Suga and I are in a place like this, everything is done for. Suga could see the fear in her eyes as she looked at him. “Let’s go home.” She said.

She seemed like she was on the verge of a panic attack, but there was nothing he could do. “Forget it. There’s no train.” He said apologetically.
