Chapter 24

                                    

                                          
(Y/n)'s POV
                          
I woke up and yawned. Huh? Did Yuzuki give me this blanket? I got up and changed into (outfit). I started to make breakfast, deciding to make simple pancakes. When I was finished, I put them on plates and set them on the table.
                          
I knocked on Noel's door. He didn't answer. I opened it slightly and noticed that he was sweating and muttering in his sleep. I went inside and gently shook him awake. He immediately sat up and had his hands around my neck. 
                          
"Noel, it's only me..." He released his grip on my neck. 
"Sorry, I just..." 
"Don't worry about it." I went to the bathroom and wet a towel then gave it to him. 
"Thanks." He wiped his face and just sat there.
"I made breakfast." Gosh, this was so awkward.
"Uh okay."
                          
He stood up and went outside. Yuzuki was already there, gulping down all the food like usual. Noel sat down next to him and ate slowly, like a civilised person. 
                          
"Are you not eating again?" Yuzuki asked.
"Yeah, I don't feel that hungry."
                          
I went into my room to make a new start on the song. After a while, Noel came into my room. I stopped writing and looked up. 
                          
"Hey." 
"(Y/n), I know what you're thinking," he started. 
"That I have to finish this song but can't find the right lyrics?" He shook his head. 
"Not that." He sat down on my bed. 
"Then what?" 
"It's not your fault." I looked down at my notebook. 
"Yes it is, you don't understand-" 
"I do but you don't get it. We are willing to protect you, we want to help you. So don't feel like we are being forced into your mess. We are your family now. After all...you don't want Yuzuki upset knowing that you're unhappy, right?" 
"I hope you're right."
                          
He stood up and pat my head like I was a little kid. Then he ruffled my hair and left the room. Geez that guy... I fixed up my hair while trying to think of new lyrics. Nothing was coming to my mind. This was hopeless. I had ideas but the lyrics weren't right. They didn't seem right.
                          
*sigh* A note slid under the door. I went over and picked it up. It read: Meet us at (cafe) in five minutes. ~Yuzuki. I stretched and looked out the window. I wonder what they planned for today.
                          
Yuzuki's POV
                          
Someone tapped on my shoulder. I jumped. Geez, that surprised me. I turned around and saw (Y/n) smiling at me. 
                          
"Did I scare you?" she asked with a smirk. 
"No! I never get scared, it was called being surprised." She just laughed. The others were playing around in the park. 
"Hey guys! Come on, let's go!" 
"Oi, she's here! Stop poking me already!" Ryoichi exclaimed. Mirai just grinned cheekily. I rolled my eyes. 
"So where are we going?" (Y/n) asked.
"Amusement park." 
"But-" 
"You need a break and I already got you a pass." 
"Oh, thanks." I grabbed her hand. She just smiled at me. I was glad I had her. 
                          
~Timeskip to when you arrive~
                          
I dragged (Y/n) to the line. 
                          
"Hey! Why are you making me go on that?" she asked with an annoyed tone. She was referring to the roller coaster. 
"It's only the scariest one here, nothing to worry about." 
"Easy for you to say! I have a phobia of them!"
"Exactly why we're going on this one."
                          
She pouted. I laughed. When it was finally our turn, I had to use all my strength to drag her on. How strong was she?! She was trembling beside me. 
                          
"Relax, its not gonna be that bad." She was only looking at how high this thing was. 
"Trust me, you're gonna have fun." The ride started. 
                          
~After the roller coaster~
                          
"Yuzuki, I am never ever gonna go on that again!" 
"Come on, it wasn't so bad!" She raised an eyebrow. 
"Hey, we got you cotton candy," Mirai said out of nowhere. (Y/n) immediately took it from him and ate all of it. 
"Uhh, that was for you to share with Yuzu but whatever." (Y/n) looked at me and handed me the tiniest piece of cotton candy the world had ever seen. I rolled my eyes and ate it. 
"Sorry." 
"As your punishment, more roller coasters and scary rides!" All the colour seemed to drain from her face. 
"Oi Yuzu, don't tease her too much. Here, I got you another one." I gladly took it and muttered a thanks. He just smiled. 
"Where are the others?" 
"On that ride," Mirai replied while pointing to the ride we just went on. 
"Huh? Where's (Y/n)?"
                          
We looked around for her but she just seemed to have disappeared. We probably spent around an hour looking for her. The others helped as well. 
                          
"Where could she have gone?" Noel asked. 
"I'll try calling her." I called her a few times but she didn't pick up. I tried calling her one last time. She finally picked up. 
"(Y/n), where-" 
"If you want your precious girlfriend back, meet us at (location)." 
"What have you done with her?!" 
"Calm down, we haven't harmed her yet so you better come quick." He ended the call. I clenched my fists. 
"Yuzuki, who was that?" Satsuki asked.
                          
I told him everything the man had said. Mirai and Noel were already running off. I chased after them. Damn that guy. If he touched her even the tiniest bit, I would kill him. I would never forgive him.
                          
How did he kidnap her right in front of our eyes? Did she walk off to get something? *sigh* Next time, I needed to go with her. 
                          
"Yuzuki, watch out!" Chihaya warned. I bumped into the pole. Ryoichi and Mirai were laughing their heads off. 
"Oi, now's not the time to laugh!" Ow, who put a pole in the middle of the pathway?!
