I stood silently in front of my Father back at home in my cozy living room, my three worried friends accompanying me, by my side.
My Father stared at us sternly from where he sat in a one seater recliner, his eyes switching towards me specifically. "Young lady. I thought I told you to be back here before ten? Do you know how late it is? It's almost midnight! I was so worried, Hinata! Don't, ever scare me like that again. Do I make myself clear?" He yelled making my body start to tremble, a quiet, hushed whimper escaping from my lips.
My mouth opened and closed several times but I just couldn't find my voice.
I was too scared... from before...
Ino looked over at me, taking in my predicament and cleared her throat, soon stepping up a bit leaving Sakura and Temari to stay and rub my shoulders, to help comfort me. Which was working wonderfully...
I'm so glad I have them by my side..
Ino pouted, now staring down at my Father who's attention was on her now. "Mr Hyuga, Hinata's, just had a bad night. We got a little, carried away.. It was all our fault. Not Hinata's. We're truly sorry. It won't happen again. We promise." She explained, covering up the real story for our tardiness. Which I was so thankful for.
My Father would totally freak out if he knew what really happened to me tonight..
And as on cue, My Father scoffed as a response but nodded, believing Ino's lie. "Fine. But you girls need to be going soon. There's no telling what your parents may be feeling right now." He sighed out and looked at each and every one of us, his white eyes still narrowed.
But his words oddly triggered me, my body trembling even more.
Oh no..
I sniffed, shaking my head quickly, my voice slowly coming back now. "N-No, Father.. I-I.. would like them.. t-t-to stay over for the night, please." I whispered out while my lips trembled, my dress clinging desperately to my sweaty flesh.
My friends turned my way worriedly, just taking in my trembling form as I stared back at my father.
He stared at my appearance also, with great worry but sighed, shaking his head. "It can't be helped. You girls can settle here for tonight. But only, for tonight. You all have school, in the morning." He warned making my eyes widen, my heart escalating in speed at that realization.
