"Jimin i never been to a party before! The last party i went to was like in the third grade and that was a birthday party!" Ava whined to her best friend as he stood in the doorway of their shared apartment.
"It will be good for you trust me. Your a freshman in college. You should make new friends." Jimin knew ava already had trouble making friends back in high school and he was the only one shes had since middle school.
Jimin was currently going on his second year and already made tons of friends but it wasnt a surprise considering he was a social butterfly unlike ava whom struggled with anxiety and was very antisocial.
"Who wants a blind girl at their party?" She fell back on her bed dramatically covering her face with a pillow.
"Its a friend of mine. I told him i would bring you." He said nonchalantly as he started looking for an outfit for her to wear.
Ava was currently having a mini anxiety attack as her best friend just moved about rummaging through her closet.
"What if someone trips over my cane or something?" She was thinking of the worst scenarios that could happen which fueled to her current episode she was having.
"That wont happen. You dont need it. I'll be next to you the whole night—aha...here put this on." He threw the clothing on top of her.
"Im not goinggg." She threw it back at him.
"Yes. You. Are. Now stop being a baby and get changed. When your done ill be waiting in the living room. Im giving you 30 minutes top." He threw it back at her leaving out the room closing the door behind him.
Ava still layed there not moving.
"I dont hear any movement!" Jimin yelled from the other side of the door.
"Okay! Okay!" Finally giving in she got up to go shower really quickly.
Ava wasnt always blind. She became sick in middle school and her parents started noticing how hard it was for her to see things. When they took her to the doctors they found she had a serious infection in both her retinas.
(A/N: i am no expert in this so bare with me) Her vision was very cloudy and could only see movements but barely.
In school the kids would tease her and call her 'white cane girl' and take her cane but it stopped when park jimin moved into her neighborhood and started going to her school. He was made fun of too at one point when he started. The kids would call him racial slurs but he didn't stand for it and would simply put them in their place. He hated bullies and when he saw ava was a victim he befriended her and made sure no one messed with her.
So from that point on you could say jimin was avas' personal bodyguard. He encouraged her to do things that she never thought she would be able to do again and helped her alot considering she was struggling with her blindness.
It got better in high school eventually even after jimin graduated, everyone knew not to mess with her while he was gone. No one really understand how the two were the best of friends. They were complete opposites. Jimin was a huge flirt and ladys man and popular while ava was shy and quiet.

Pulling up to the house ava could already feel and hear the bass of the loud music. "Come on," jimin said and was already out the car before she knew it. Opening her door he stood there as she just sat there with her seatbelt still on.
"Ava."
"Just leave me in the car," she said as she twisted and turned the few rings on her fingers nervously.
