Leader

Noel understood Eric's worries.

"You will do just fine as their leader." Noel assured him.

"But Erica is better in taking care of them."

"Being a leader doesn't mean taking care of everyone. Being a leader, you can make a decision when others are arguing about their choices. Being a leader, you can stand in front of them to let them know you are there. That's why I can assure you their leader is you."

"Big Brother…" Eric felt like he understood a bit of what he was saying.

"What do you think of them?" 

"They are my family."

"Then, you have to protect them." Noel smiled and gave him a question. "What will you do if someone threatens them?" 

"I will step forward and protect them."

"That's correct. Leave everything about the group to Erica. You just have to do what you can do for the group. When Erica has trouble, you have to step up and become her strength, assuring her that everything will be fine.
