Will there always be someone to save you?

Sunday

You were woken up by your ringtone which was slightly muffled from still being inside the little bag you took with you last night. The ringtone stopped and you closed your heavy, dry and swollen eyelids, tempted to sleep again, but you persuaded yourself to get up because staying in bed would give more reason to dwell on last night. As soon as you stood up, your phone rang again. Hastily, you grabbed the phone from the bag and put it to your ear.

"Hello?" you lazily answered.

"Y/n!" you took the phone away from your ear upon hearing your best friend's voice. "Why didn't you text me last night? I was worried sick!"

You groaned and rubbed your eyes, you completely forgot. "I'm sorry," you apologised, feeling ashamed, "I guess I was still in shock, it escaped my mind. I'm sorry."

"Oh y/n, gosh I don't know what to say, I'm so sorry, I should have walked with you, been there-" she guiltily rambled on and you shook your head even though she couldn't see you.

"It wasn't your fault, don't apologise."

"Well I'm coming over, okay? You don't sound like yourself."

And that's what she did. As soon as she walked through the door, she embraced you in a gentle hug, making sure you weren't uncomfortable. But you hugged her back tighter, letting her know you were okay again. She pulled away and held up the plastic bag she brought with her.

"I bought ingredients for ginger cookies," she smiled wide.

"Aww Chloe," you started, pouting from her kindness, "you really are the best, you know?"

"It's what you deserve sweety."

You couldn't help but tear up.

"No sweety don't tear up on me!" Chloe hurried over to hug you again.

The day was filled with girly laughter and chit chat, and when the cookies were finished you both ate them while watching K dramas that included Chloe's celebrity crush.

"Oh just look at him, how can he be so perfect," she whined cupping her face.

You laughed at her while munching on another cookie, man you were going to have one hell of a breakout. "Sometimes I wonder why you are still single, but moments like this remind me why."

"Hey!" she turned to you, "I can fantasise all I want!"

You held your hands up in surrender and let Chloe get back to whining over her man. Your phone vibrated and Tae's name popped up on the screen. Beaming, you opened up his messages.

Your smile wavered at his last text. Were you going to be okay tomorrow?

Monday

Standing in front of your workplace, you couldn't deny the uneasiness swallowing you up every passing second. You had asked Chloe to meet you at the entrance, she was the only one who knew what had happened.
