Perfect Timing

Chapter 36, Let me Know

Double update!!...I have school I promise...I have responsibilies in my life...just different priorities.  To be fair I couldn't sleep XD It's currently 4am and I am writing Wattpad on a Wednesday morning.  What am I doing with my life. Anywaysssssss enjoy!! I'm hopefully going to wake up at noon tomorrow.

Jungkook:

     James smirked and pushed his knuckles back into me. My feet stumbled barely keeping my balance, but it didn't stop me from crashing into Y/n as well.  She let out a slight whimper as my dusty black combats seemed to crush her thin purple galaxy converse.  That'll probably leave a scuff.  

    She tripped backwards a bit, but not enough to fall to the ground.  I couldn't muster a sorry or even a 'my bad.'  Obeying like dogs, we were stunned watching our owner leave us locked in our dark cage.  

Y/N POV:

        Is he really leaving? I bit my tongue in anticipation.  Musty, cold air stayed stagnant in my lungs begging for me to exhale.  Seeing the man reach the highest step I felt all my courage I had been holding onto slip out of me.  My posture sunk and I let out the breath I had been holding for what felt like an eternity.  My lips couldn't seem to find words.  Nothing more than meaningless syllables were pouring out of my mouth as I struggled to comprehend the situation.  

     After a minute, I regained my senses enough to speak up.  "So" A sharp cough forced it's way out of my chest.  "I'm not really sure what just happened."  A unsettling giggle crept from my mouth.  The kind of giggle that you get when you feel so frustrated that everything feels helpless.  "That worked somehow."  The giggle morphed into a strained laugh.  The situation wasn't funny or anything, but I couldn't stop myself.  Tear formed in the corners of my eyes.  "Great. Everything is great."  Maybe it was the concussion talking, but I felt my senses disconnect from my body leaving nothing, but feelings of regret and confusion.

     Jungkook blinked, "Hey, this is good, yea." His voice was quivering.  "Now we can make a plan."

     My feet started pacing on their own.  My vision was still blurry despite my eyes now being adjusted to the darkness.  "Yep. A plan. We totally got this." My own thoughts were tormenting me.  Am I the reason he's here then?  The question begged me to answer it in my mind.  Did Jungkook literally get kidnapped by a psychopath because of me?  How could I let this happen.

     My heart felt like paper, the more I thought about it.  It all makes sense, no wonder he texted me he never wants to see me again. Hanging around me is going to get him killed at this point.  Every time we see each other it seems like a tragedy is on it's way.  My eyes shut with frustration as I continued back and forth.    

     "Mhmm" Exactly.  "So no need to worry."  He swallowed.

     I kept spanning my surroundings.  My heart beat was still elevated and the world was crumbling around me.  All this is your fault Y/n.

     "Y/n!" He whispered, his voice was soft and full of concern.  My feet paused and my body was facing the opposite wall from him.  If I looked at him I think the guilt will consume me.  I did this to him now he's burdened by having to comfort me.  The thought filled me with disgust.    "Trust me, everything will be okay. Come tomorrow you're going to be back at the dining hall just in time for Mac and Cheese Day."  He held a genuine smile across his face.  I won't hurt you anymore, Jungkook.

     I sighed.  "Can we just talk for a second first?" Thoughts were still burning through my brain. I know I have to you let go. My knees slid to under me and I found myself lying on the concrete.  Staring at the basement ceiling I tried to imagine above me were the stars from the woods.  Each one shining brighter than the next.  Giving hope to the bleak situation we found ourselves trapped in.  This is what you want right?
