Sang POV (During Team Meeting)

The boys had left about 10 minutes ago. For the first time in weeks, I was happy that they were gone. I needed a break. So much had happened today between all of us that I just didn't know what to think or feel. I was exhausted. Staring at my ceiling, I heard the front door open. Stiffening, I listened carefully and quickly realized it is just Marie. Ugh. Marie. What was I going to say to her? Our confrontation from this morning seems like it was days ago. I hear her stomping up the stairs and am shocked with she bursts right into my room. I sit up quickly, not wanting to be in a vulnerable position with her in here. She has never physically hurt me, but I wouldn't put it past her. She stops a few steps in and quickly scans the room before returning her hateful eyes to me.

"So they left their whore alone did they? Did they finally realize you are worthless and move along?" I just looked at her for a moment. How did we get here? There were so many questions running through my head, but the one that I finally spoke surprised us both.

"Why do you hate me so much?" I asked. In that moment it was finally clear. She did hate me. She had for sometime. I just had no clue why. My question stunned her for a second, but she straightened out and let out a cruel chuckle. 

"Why wouldn't I hate you. You're a disgusting whore."

I began to wonder if I should be more afraid? She I be redlining one of the boys? I watched her body language and decided that she wouldn't come any closer. She wanted to fight, to demean me, but she didn't want to phyically hurt me. One more fight tonight. Just one more. "Marie, you know that that is not true. I have never been, and still am not a whore." I said calmly.

She scoffed. "Says the girl fucking 7 different boys." She hissed. I blinked. She was uncomfortable talking like that. Using those words. When Gabe or North, or even sometimes Nathan cursed, it also sounded natural. Just another word. But she had barely been able to speak it. As if she was choking on it. 

"Again, you know that is not true. I am not having sex with any of them Marie. I have never had sex with anyone. I haven't even had my first kiss yet." I say. I'm not sure why I'm having this converstaion with her. I know she won't believe me. Or really care one way or the other. She is just lashing out. 

"That is impossible. You are such a bad liar Sang. There is no way they would hang around if they weren't getting something out of it." She said it with so much hate. But there was an undercurrent to her tone that I couldn't place. Her eyes were hateful, but they were also showing a lot of pain. I wondered why girls kept saying that to me.

"I do not know what to tell you. They are my friends." How did I make her see? Then I had an idea. " Like Derrik is your friend." Her face paled and she hissed in a breathe taking a step back. My whole body tensed. Had Derrik done something to her? He didn't seem like the type to do that. 

"Derrik is not my friend anymore." She ground out. I blinked. Derrik came looking for her all the time, she just hadn't been around. 

"Don't play dumb with me. I saw you come out of your bedroom together. I know your fucking him too. You couldn't just let me have one." She hissed. Tears started to fill her eyes, but she was fighting them with everything she had. I had no idea what she was talking about.

"What? When?" 

"You know what, it doesn't even matter. Fuck whoever you want. That's the only way anyone with every like you anyway." She turned and stormed out of my room, slamming my door, and then slamming hers. I stared at my door with wide eyes tryign desperately to figure out what just happened. I think I needed to talk to Derrik. Looking at my phone, I realized it was only 745. I didn't have any message from the boys so they were clearly still in their meeting. I decided to just get it over with now. Maybe if I could figure out what was going on, I could have a somewhat civil relationship with Marie. I threw on a hoodie and my shoes and made my way down the stairs. I stopped on the porch to text Sean, knowing he would be stopping by after the meeting. 

Sang: Hi. I just wanted to let you know Im heading over to talk to Derrik. I will probably be home before you get there but just in case. 

I stuffed my cell in pouch of my hoodie and walked towards Derrik's house. The closer I got, the slower I walked. What was I doing? What was I even going to say? Way too quickly I was infront of Derrik's house just staring at the door. I started to tremble, and lifted my fingers up to press on my lip. What was I thinking? I couldn't do this. I was just about to turn around when the front door of the house opened and Derrik stepped out. He paused when he saw me, and then continued to lock up his house. He walked down the stairs and stopped in front of me. I was frozen. 

"Sang?" I didn't say anything. I just pushed harder on my lip and stared, trembling harder. "Sang, what's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked, sounding worried now.

I tried to say I was fine but nothing came out. I cleared my throat and tried again. "Yes, I just wanted to talk to you about something." My voice was so low, you could barely hear it. He squinted his eyes as if trying to see the words he couldn't hear. 

"Okay." He said finally, and waited for me to continue. When I didn't he chuckled. "Okay. Im meeting up with Karen at the dinner. Wanna come?" He asked. He sounded unsure, but was genuinely inviting me. Did I want to? I have hung out with Derrik a few times, and I liked Karen enough. Im sure she would be happy to see me. Plus, I felt safe at the dinner. I could do this. I dropped my hand from my face and nodded with determination. He tried to hold back a small laugh, but I heard it. 

"Okay then, lets go." We walked to the diner in comfortable silence. We got there quickly as my mind raced. I couldn't believe I was doing this. It reminded my of that first trip I took to the mall with Kota and the boys. I had been just as nervous then, and now they were the only things that calmed me down. Maybe this would be okay too. Approaching the door, Derrik opened it for me and I stepped in. 

"Sang!" The shout came from a couple booths away and I looked up shocked. Karen was sitting there bouncing in her seat, but she was not alone. I froze. Mike and Decan were there as well. Oh no. I couldn't do this. What made me think that I could do this. They were both smiling at me, until they realized that I was a deer caught in their headlights. Mike quickly hopped up and made his way to me. 

"Hey Sang." He said with a shy smile. I blinked. He had never called me by my name like that. At least, not that I remembered. Before I could think my mouth opened.

"You actually know my name?" Mike, Karen, and Decan's laughter filled the entire space. Mike, through his arm around me and started pulling me to the table. Derrik was smiling too, but looked a little confused. 

"Come on silly girl. Come sit down with us." Mike said shaking his head, and Derrik followed. 

Karen was still bouncing in her seat closest to the window with Decan next to her. Decan got up and let Mike slide in next to Karen, then slide in the other booth closest to the window. He gestured for me to sit, and I hesitated for a second. Decan was up to something. I could see it in his eyes everytime he looked at me. He wasn't unsettling like Rocky or even Jay, but there was something there. Derrik nudged me a little from behind to get me to sit. Taking a deep breath and sighing, I slid into the seat. Derrik pulled over a chair and sat at the head of the table. Looking forward, I could see the whole diner behind me, in the mirrow in front of me. I caught Uncle in the reflection and he shot me a confused look. I gave him a small wave but averted my gaze. There was something about the look he gave me that I didn't understand. It made me feel guilty. Shaking off the feeling, I realized that Karen had asked me a question.

"Im sorry what?" I said back, blushing at being so rude. She smirked at the heat in my cheeks and repeated herself.

"I saaaid. Don't worry, my brother doesn't bite. Much" My eyes widened and I shot Decan a look. He was looking at me waiting to see how I would react. His eyes were kind, but they were searching, almost challenging me. 

"I would prefer you not, I haven't had my shots yet." I said out of nowhere. The challenge in those eyes really did something to my confidence. Who was he to challenge me? To tease me the way he had earlier today. His eyes sparkled and he laughed hard.

"Damn, Dec, she already got you all figure out." Karen whistled.
