I was surprised that Setsuna wasn't really angry at me, since I had cursed at her.
"Mom, can I ask you something?" I asked after dinner and she turned to me and smiled slightly as she nodded.
"Of course." She answered and I sighed as I sat down on the couch, facing her.
"I'm ready to talk about my past but first I….I don't want you to think I'm a monster." I forces myself to say as I looked down at the carpet. Only hearing her get up and walked over to me and sat down beside of me, wrapping her arm around my shoulders.
"Tell me." She replied, pulling me against her side.
"My parents died in a car crash." Began as I recalled all of those painful memories.
"There was blood everywhere because my father wasn't wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the car….my grandmother didn't want me, saying that I should have died that night." I croaked, trying to hold back tears and then I felt her arm tighten around me, a sideways hug.
"You survived for a reason Haruka, there's a plan for you in this life." She advised and I glanced up at her, shocked that she was using my religion against me at this moment.
"Why would anyone tell a little girl that?" my mother growled and I relaxed, letting my tears come.
As I began to cry I felt as if the weight of the world lifted from me.
After a while I calmed down, embarrassed now for crying but I knew that there was no reason for it however then the phone began to ring loudly.
"Hello?" she asked softly and then cursed under her breath.
"We'll be right there." She stated after a few minutes.
As soon as she was off the phone she turned to me and whispered "Elza grey's father got hurt on the job and she wants you to be there for her." Mom told me and I sighed and nodded, rushing to grab my jacket.
I had to be there for my best friend, I just had to.
When we got to the hospital Elza rushed and hugged me tightly, her tears seeping into my shoulder.
"I'm so scared Haruka." She sobbed into my shirt as I wrapped my arms around her, wishing that it was me reliving the pain and not the gentle pink haired girl in my arms.
Elza didn't deserve this kind of pain, she was never mean to anyone and could put up with my bad attitude.
"I know Eli." I whispered as I stood there, rocking lightly as I tried to soothe her.
Seeing her cry tore me apart, the girl was like my sister and my best friend. I would do anything to ease her pain.
"He's a fighter." I stated in a whisper as I rested my chin against her hair, letting her cry herself out in my arms.
I could feel Setsuna's eyes on me for a few minutes before she walked into the building.
Mom understood people and emotions far more than anyone, she could just look at you and could tell what you're feeling.
I don't know how long that I was standing there with her but after what felt like forever I lead her to the bench and set down, pulling her down beside and against me.
"Setsuna will let us know what happens Elza." I stated with a sigh.
"Yeah, I know. I'm just so worried." She admitted and I sighed and nodded as I stared up at the starry sky, praying that the man would be alright for Elza's sake.
