Blake's POV:
While we're in the hallway, I was talking to Hideo next to the library where Kenta and Chizuru went in to check out some books. Ever since our battle with Kenta's half brothers and Saburo, things have gotten pretty difficult for us when we got two problems to deal with. One is dealing with those three dumbasses and that oversize hairy douchebag, and the other is the family dinner tonight. Ugh can this day get any worst? Why do bad things happen to us?

As me and Hideo are talking about our next move, both of us were pretty anxious about tonight since we're not exactly sure if those three fuckwits and that big headed egomaniac will ever appear again. However, our biggest concern is Cyrus. I know Cyrus has got it under control, but for some reason I have a bad feeling that something shitty is going to happen with Cyrus and I'm quite worried.

"Sooo how do you think Cyrus is going?" Hideo asked which got me really on edge when I think about him.

"He said about figuring this all out on his own, but to be honest....I feel like Cyrus has no idea what he's doing and...I'm afraid that he's going to get hurt if he pushes himself too much...." I worriedly assumed while slightly looking down at the floor.

"Well I do get your point, but I wouldn't be too worried about that. Besides, I'm a hundred percent that Cyrus will figure something out." He reassured me which I avert my eyes in response but with a small smile.

"A-Alright...."

I'm not so sure about that....

I thought skeptically while worrying about Cyrus. We've been together since day one. All of us were like a family. Cyrus is known as the big brother of the group and he's always looking out for us. Well he's not actually our real brother, but to us he's like an older brother figure. I never forget the time when Cyrus, Hideo, and Kenta saved my life. I was quite different back then. Ever since my crazy ex killed my family, friends, and my younger brother, Atticus, things weren't going so well for me.

I was definitely a mess...I suffered from PTSD, depression, and low self esteem. I even cut myself as a result...I thought my life was hopeless and I wander endlessly in the dark forest. All because of what Isaiah did and I will never ever forget that day nor would I forgive him. I feel so alone and empty. It also got me to the point where I wanted to die....

However, that's where my life changed when I met those three guys. At first, I was distrustful yet scared...I'm afraid that they'll hurt me..just like how Isaiah hurt me, but....they treated me differently.

Those three guys were giving me comfort especially Cyrus. He's the one who inspired me to keep on living. He gave me so much love, trust, and care. He and the guys, they're like my brothers...it's like, I became part of a family again....

I smiled at the bittersweet memories until I heard Chizuru calling for me.

"Blake?"

"Huh?" I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw Chizuru, Kenta, and Hideo looking at me with curious yet worried looks. I blink my eyes and notice that I have tears under my eyes.

"Gah! I-I'm sorry!!" I apologized as I wipe my tears with my arm, but Kenta wrap an arm around my shoulders as I look up to him with teary eyes.

"You can't forget the past." He calmly told me.

"Kenta...." I muttered while looking at him with teary pale blue eyes as I can feel Hideo patting my head gently.

"Look, don't get all work up. We understand how ya feeling, but just letting you know that Cyrus cares deeply for us. He's like an older brother to us and we're like a family to him." He reassured me.

"He's right Blake, we've been together since the night we first met in the forest a long time ago. So don't feel guilty cuz we're all here for you." Kenta assured me as I slowly form a small grin and nod.

"Right, thanks guys." I grin at them as they grin back, and Chizuru is literally tearing up from the touching moment.

"So beautiful..." Chizuru sniffed while wiping her tears from ear eyes, buuuuuut....

"AWWWWW such a touching moment!" Kou shouted with a cheeky grin and we all flinched when appeared in the worst timing ever!!!

"For fuck stakes Kou! Don't scare us like that!!!" I yelled at him with a glare.

"Seriously man?" Kenta asked dryly with a blank look.

"Bad. Timing." He bluntly stated with a glare.

"Hehehehehe yeah yeah, sorry for ruining your special moment, but I just came here to see if angel chan is doing okay?" He teasingly said which got me doing this 😑.

"Since when I'm your angel chan?" I asked skeptically with my arms fold.

"Since we went on a date yesterday." He replied with a cheery grin.

"Ughhhh...." I groan when he mentions about our date yesterday.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that." Hideo said.

"Not surprising." Kenta bluntly said.

"Yup, soooo what are you guys doing right now?" He asked.

"We got out of the library just now." Chizuru replied.

"Yeah and now we're about to head out to Chizuru's house." Hideo told him.

"Eh? You all are ditching class?" He asked tilting his head innocently, but none of us aren't buying it.

"Yes because we rather go after our friend than attending to some boring class." Kenta bluntly stated with a deadpan look.

"Heh alright, but first I need to have a small private chat with angel chan." He said with a smirk which got me uneasy for some reason.

Oh geez what does he want this time?
