A little ways down the strip, I saw the group, and Laura collapse. My eyes widened, and I glanced at the hotel. "Oh la la..." I whispered warily.
"Laura!" I yelled suddenly, running as fast as I could toward the group. Once I reached them, I bent over, resting my hands on my knees, feigning exhaustion and being out of breath. "Thank God you guys found her! Is she alright?"
Haruka looked at me with narrowed eyes, as did Kenichi and Satoshi, although Satoshi was still shocked about the ten year old, obviously drunk Laura in his arms.
"What happened?" Seemed to be the question inside the group, both spoken outloud and thought.
"I... I..." I glanced around, pointing to a building across from the hotel. "There was a Digimon, and it looked like it was about to attack the hotel, so I left for a minute to see if I could help... And, when I came back, she was gone." I looked at Laura, making sure she was still unconcious.
"No," Haruka said, seething. "What did you do to her?"
I looked around, and saw the group looking at me as if they were ready to kill. I saw they were blaming me for her drunkeness, and her outfit.
"Wait a minute..." I swallowed, getting all defensive. "This is not my fault..."
"Yes, it is." Haruka interrupted growing angrier every second. Satoshi looked like he was about to say something as well.
"I think you've made a mistake, Haruka. When she came to me, she was near tears. Wanna know why? Because the closest thing she ever got to a friend, or a crush, took out her heart and smashed into a million pieces the worst POSSIBLE way." I said, looking straight into Satoshi's eyes. "Then," I added, looking at Haruka. "If that wasn't bad enough, another person she considered a friend blamed her, told her everything was HER fault, and pretty much told her she worthless as a human being when it came to social skills. Who wouldn't want to run away? Or get drunk? That seems pretty appealing to me, and I didn't even go through that.
"So she came to me. And as a friend, I tried to take her away from her problems. And, yes, I made a mistake. But I'm not the only one," I finished taking a big breath, then realized my huge monolouge and the looks on Haruka's and Satoshi's face. "...That was incredibly rude of me," I said, barely audible.
For a moment, the group was tense. There were some thoughts of saying somethings, but the people held them back. After a moment, Satoshi murmured. "We better get Laura a room..."
As they started to walk off, I looked back at the hotel and bit my lip slightly. A slight messup in the plan... I looked over at Kenichi.
"Um..." I stammered. "M- Mr. Tanaka!" He turned and faced me with hatred apparent on his face.
"What?"
I walked over to him. "I can see that you don't like me." I stammered, and felt my face grow red. "But, but, I want us to be friends," I shook my head. "Not enemies. So, I, um... I bought this for you. I'm not the best shopper, but..." I dug into my pocket, and brought out the eagle necklace, holding it out to him. He looked at it for a moment.
"You don't like it?" I winced, my face portraying the feeling of disgust with myself. He looked conflicted for a moment, then slowly reached out to take it...
Don't worry, it's not poisonous.![]()
