It's All Down To Trust

Letting Go

Sang*

I took an hour long bath. I needed that time to relax and clear my head. I wasn't ready to come clean with all the information I was sitting on. It was hard to let go of. On the one hand, if they could help me put my family away quicker than I was planning on, it would be amazing. On the other hand, They could get hurt if anyone found out what I was about to tell them. My dad didn't like the fact that I knew and if his people ever found out that I knew I would be killed. 

Once I was out of the bath, I put on some soft pink shorts and a white tank top. I threw my hair up in a messy bun and took a deep breath, looking in the mirror. 

"You got this Sang. They want to help you." 

I walked down the stairs and heard all the guys around the house. They all came, most likely right after I told the others to call them. I walked past all of them, into the kitchen ignoring them calling my name. I grabbed all of the ingredients for taco soup and started on my task. I needed to triple the recipe to feed so many guys but it was easy enough. 

"Can I help?" North asked standing on the other side of the island. 

"Nope. I got this. Go sit down and I'll be in there in a few minutes." I gave him a smile hoping that he didn't feel like I was rejecting him. It wasn't what I wanted to do. I still didn't like that he was hanging around my sister and didn't know all the details as of why he was doing that. I figured after dinner was done and we ate, we could talk about everything. 

North nodded his head but I could tell that he was unhappy about it. He took the rest of the guys who were standing around the kitchen, giving me pouty faces with him and I was grateful. It was hard enough trying to concentrate with them in the house, even harder when they stared at me with those sad eyes. I couldn't cave and give into them. I needed to get everything out in the open and hope that they would still be around in the end. 

It took fifteen minutes to get dinner put together. Once it started to simmer, I turn the heat on low and walked into the living room. All of the guys were either on their phones or playing video games. Kota saw me walk in and made room on the couch beside him. I gave him a small smile before joining him. 

"Are you ok?" He whispered in my ear.

"I will be." I answered honestly. 

"You idiot. Quit cheating." Corey shouted at Luke. They were playing some kind of racing game and I had no idea what was happening on the screen. All I could see was one car disappearing a reappearing at the start line. 

"I am not cheating, you just suck." Luke laughed. 

"Sang, we just wanted to apologize." Axel started but I cut him off with a wave of my hand. 

"Nope, no-one  is going to mention anything that's happened so far today until after dinner." I told him with a smile on my face. 

"As you wish." Owen gave me his millimeter smile. 

Everyone got back to what they were doing before I came downstairs. Corey and Luke were fighting about the game. Kota was reading and let me rest my head on his shoulder. Axel and Owen were talking in the corner, most likely about the stuff that went on. Brandon and North were talking about fixing up some car they had at the shop. Nate was playing some kind of game with Marc and Gabe while Raven stood in the corner of the room staring at me and Corey. Victor and Sean were looking at something on a laptop and my sweet gentle giant, Silas was sitting on the other side of me playing with strands of my hair.  I think these were my new favorite moments in life. 

After dinner was ready and we all sat down to eat, they all waited for me to take the first bite. such gentlemen. After that they all dug in and complimented me. I wasn't sure why it was a simple meal nothing fancy but I guess that's just the way they were.
