I won't give up (Completed)

EXTRA

*Last chapter from Tori's perspective*

Sitting down besides the grave of my best friend will never get easy. Even though it's been three years and I come here almost everyday, I still forget that she's not here with me anymore. At least not physically. 

"Hi Maya. I hope you don't mind that this time I brought wine with me today. It's a difficult day for me." I begin as I laughed a bit at how stupid I sounded. But continued anyway. "Today is just one of those days when anxiety gets the best of me and I can't help but miss your company more and more by the minute." 

Sipping the wine I took a deep breathe. "I still don't get why you would sacrifice yourself for Jungkook and Jin... But then again, that's just who you were. You would sacrifice for your friends without thinking twice about it. Today the boys have a concert and Tae invited me. He's actually behind me, he came with me today but he knows this is a special moment for me and he gave me some space." 

I look back at Tae who was seating by an oak tree, reading a book. When he felt my gaze on him he looked at me and smiled. I tried to smile too and I think I did. Looking back at the grave I sigh as I shook my head while smiling "I guess you wouldn't mind if I told him to join me. You always loved us together, you were so supportive of any decision I made." Deciding to bring Tae closer this time, I motion him to come. He looked at me as if asking me if I was sure and I nodded my head. 

He sat down besides me and I gave him a glass of wine too. "Here's Tae, he's been helping me a lot through all of this." I said and Tae wasn't sure what to do, I could tell he didn't know if he could say anything or stay quiet. "Feel free to say anything, you know Maya always loved to hear people talking." 

"Uh hi Maya..." He began. "It's been rough, I'm not gonna lie. You and I were never that close, but I still considered you as a friend." I smile at him knowing he was trying hard. "If you ever wonder why the others don't come to visit you, don't think it's because they don't miss you or love you, they do, believe me, we sometimes like to go down memory lane and remember your best moments with us... but it's just hard for them to accept that you are gone, even after 3 years." 

"Wait, do you know if Jungkook or Hoseok ever come here?" I asked him, now curious. I've never dared asked that question, but now that Tae has brought it up, I guess it was fine for me to ask him. 

"I know Hoseok does come here every once in a while, but I'm not so sure if Jungkook has though." He answered in all honesty and I sigh as I could only feel Jungkook's pain. "We all miss you a lot Maya. You were a part of us since even before the beginning. I hope you know how special you truly were and are still." 

***

After talking a bit between Tae and I, trying to include Maya even though we knew she wouldn't answer us, we decided it was time to go and get ready for the concert. 

Before leaving, Tae gave me a kiss and told me to get to the venue a bit earlier since it could get packed. I had tickets like anyone else so I wouldn't seem suspicious. Fans still don't know about us, even though we've been together for a year now. I appreciate how much Tae cares for my safety and how he doesn't care if anyone else knows about us. 

He respects that I don't want to be known as 'Tae's girlfriend' and probably get lots of hate for that. 

"I'll see you on stage." I said to him and he smirked while nodding and kissing me once again. 

"Love you." He said. 

"Love you too." 

I saw him driving off and I entered to my apartment. The first thing you could see was a picture of Maya and I when we were 15. We were in our school uniforms, at school of course, and she was hugging me tightly. She was always the one who loved to take pictures and hug me even when I really wasn't into touching that much.
