Disappear. . With Me

001 Everything Has Changed

11:40 on Tuesday the night of Christmas Eve, the day Jihyes world shattered and lost meaning. The sound of the short flat line will be something she will never heal from. That flat line means it's too late, she's gone. Those two words replayed in the girls head like a song on loop, tormenting her. My mom. She always had the brightest smile even in her tough times just to make sure I didn't worry and I didn't get the chance to repay her for all she's done for me because now she's. gone. These thoughts kept running inside Jihyes fragile mind and they weren't going away anytime soon. She felt as if she was in the wrong, it's her fault not to mention, again.

Several Weeks Later
  Jihye has been at home, laying in bed cursing at herself. The doorbell rang several times, "I swear if it's one of those sales people I'm gonna lose it" she exclaims while dragging her feet to the door

"hi Jihye I'm Ellie I help kids in your situation, your dad is Kyunghyun Park correct?"
"I don't have a dad"
"no no he's your dad" she chuckles then proceeds "he was actually pretty easy to find considering he owns a big company in Korea anyways you'll be leaving for Korea in 3 days to live with him"
"what?" before Jihye could get more information Ellie was already out the door and walking to her car unbothered.
"i didn't ask for this? gosh help? HELP? she really said help? help as if" The girl scoffed in disbelief. "whatta joke."

The thought of living with him tormented her the second she arrived in Korea, she sighs with a faint smile but I haven't been here in years and this place still feels like home I wish mom was here to enjoy it with me. Walking into a new big house that she is now forced to call home is a feeling she never thought she would have to experience let alone she had no intentions of ever seeing him again. Jihye hesitantly walks into the unfamiliar house and there he is the man who left her and her mom because he decided he liked flings better than a genuine relationship.

"I'm just gonna make this clear I had to take you in for my reputation not because I wanted you here"

The girl doesn't give a response and instead says "can I be excused?" without waiting for an answer she heads upstairs.

She sits on her bed trying to process everything, instead she lets out a long sigh.  Mom I miss you so much I hope you're resting now, I love you. We planned to move back to Korea during summer remember? Well I'm here and I know you're watching over me, how is she by the way? I wish I could know. The girl smiles to herself as a tear runs down her left cheek.

Jihye has been skipping school back in the states so it's been quite a while since she stepped foot in one. She walks into class looking lost as ever, hands clenched on the straps of her backpack as the teacher introduces her and she introduces herself "Jihye there's an empty spot in front of Sunghoon you can sit there."  As she walks over he greets her with a smile and the second she sits down he taps her shoulder "Hey I'm sunghoon I think we're gonna be good friends."

I go to my seat and there's a new girl "you can sit there" the teacher says. When she was walking to her desk I noticed her bracelet, it had a heart with vines around it, I tapped her shoulder "Hey I'm Sunghoon I think we're gonna be good friends." she smiled and replied "hi I'm Jihye!" when she turned back around I just glared at her. That bracelet belonged to my old friend, it was custom made. That friend passed away 8 years ago.
