Chapter 17|| Dinner Time
I hadn't done chapter from Natsume's point of view yet so I decided to do one know!
Natsume POV:
I woke up on the couch with something cuddling next to me. I look to see Mikan peacefully next to me. Then everything from all night I remembered. I told her everything. I also remembered her humming which reminded something but I just can't remember. I look at her as if I was studying her. Her eyes were closed and her mouth was open with a little drool. I smirked at how cute she looked. Wait. Did I just think cute? Argh! I carefully get up, making sure not to wake her up in the process. When I succeed I make sure to leave her a note saying that I left. I leave through the main door and get on my bike and start speeding off in the street to get back home.
Even though, I am not ready face my brother and I plan on to ignore him until he is gone. I will never forget what he did to me nor will I ever forgive him for what he's done. Mom and dad may have forgiven him but not me. His fucking way of life nearly killed mine.
I arrive home and park my bike on the drive and head inside my house. As soon as I enter, I am greeted by my mothers' hug and sobs. Knowing that I had never called saying I won't be home last night, I knew that she would have been worried.
"Where (sniff) were (sniff) you?" she asks between her sobs. I felt a little guilt but I maintained a blank expression.
"Out"
"You could have at least called Natsume! We were all worried sick." dad says, and I look over at him and roll my eyes.
"Hn." Is my reply and I start heading upstairs and into my room ignoring his protests.
I walk into my room and was about to close my room door until Tsubassa blocked it with his hand. I glare at him but he doesn't seem to be affected. I roll my eyes and just move from him.
"Do you have any idea how worried we were about you?" Tsubassa scolds.
"Hn."
"Now what you put mom and dad through?"
"Hn."
"We nearly about to call the cops on you."
"Hn."
"Drop the attitude Natsume." By now, his voice is dangerously low but it doesn't scare or affect me.
"Never."
"The hell is your problem Natsume?" he asks angrily.
"You."
"What?" he asks and I roll my eyes.
"You asked what's my problem and I gave you an answer."
"How long are you going to keep a grudge against me? I said I was sorry, and I even sobered up. Why can't you just forgive me? I know that I made a mistake and I regret it. I care about you. why-"
"HA! Care?! Yeah you cared enough to kill me. That's a real laugh man. A real fucking laugh."
"Natsume-
"Leave."
"No. Not until we have finishing talking about this."
"We talked. We finished. Now fucking leave my room."
"You finished, not me."
"Last chance. Get out of my room before I make you regret it." I say in low voice enough for him to understand the message that I will make him regret it.
With that he left my room but not before saying, "Just remember this, I don't plan on giving up this time." I lay down on my bed. I hate him and never would want to do anything with him. I suffered so much by his stupidity and now he just expects me to forgave him and move on from the grudge. Like it's that easy.
"So we are going to the Loran's orphanage place again, and we are living by Friday after school." Koko says over the phone. I already informed Yuu, Ruka and Mikan about expect I didn't tell her where we would we be going.
"Yeah. So be ready."
"Cool man, and who else is with us?" he asks.
"Ruka, Yuu, Mikan and her friends."
"Cool. Wanna hangout tonight at the bowling place with the guys."
"Hn."
"I'll take that has a yes. See ya then man." He says and with that he hang up.
I lay back and start thinking about how my life has changed in some ways, in the last couple of weeks. Even though I hate her for being all innocent, and goody-two shoes, there is something about that makes me more attracted to her. Like as if there are something's she is hiding, not only from me but also her family. I noticed that whenever her parents call, or even the mention of her family makes her uncomfortable. Not only that, I also now that she is hiding something big. I remember the day she was moving out of this house he had some folders with her that she never used for school. She was clutching on them, as it was part of her life. I am brought out of my thoughts by my mother's voice.
"Lunch is ready!" my mom shouts from downstairs since I spent all my day in my room avoiding Tsubassa. He's only been here for two days and I already can't stand him. I don't know how I am going to make it to new years with him around.
I walk downstairs where everyone was seated and ready to eat. Tsubassa was siting beside his girlfriend Misaki, they were opposite to dad and mom, so I decided to sit at the opposite end of the table. We all settled and started to eat. I avoided glancing at everyone but I could feel his or her glances at me once in a while. We were all silently eating until mom decided to break it.
"I have an announcement to make." My mother says. We all give her our full attention. "I have planned a family dinner for all of us tonight at a restaurant. We will leave home at 6:30pm. It is a family dinner will give us the time to know each other will and catch up on some things."
"I think that is a great idea honey." My dad says and agrees to her plan as well as my brother and his girlfriend.
"What about you Natsume?" Mom asks.
"No."
"Why not?" Dad questions.
"Hanging out with the guys tonight."
"It's a family dinner Natsume and you are part of this family. So you are going?" Tsubassa says.
"Tsk. Who asked you?"
"Enough. I can't handle you both bickering to each other anymore. Whatever the differences and problems you both have, sort them out before I do. And you man, you are attending this dinner with us. No and if's or buts. Understood?" Mom scolds us. I swear sometimes she is more scarier than dad.
"Whatever." I say while pushing my chair back and leaving the table to go up into my room. I had to call Ruka to let him now that I won't be able to make it tonight so he could tell the guys. I called Ruka.
RING RING RIN—
"Hello?"
"Ruka, tell the guys I can't make tonight. I'm busy."
"Sure man, but doing what?"
"Family dinner."
"That's great, but I thought you were going to hang out with Mikan today."
"Hn. Never will I hang out with that idiot."
"Natsume. Don't hurt her so much. You may regret it one day." He says
"What do you mean Ruka?"
