You Smell Like Hope

6. I know the end.

Not even the burnout are
out here anymore.

Dead flower.
It was once beautiful but her time around the cruelty of this world made it lose all her ability to stay that way.

I've been awake for a little over a minute now but I'm too scared to open my eyes and see her, or rather let her see me, last time I woke up I was tight up to some type of wall and she got angry when she saw my opened eyes, so I'd rather have them closed and not get hit by her heals again.

What's weird though is that I don't feel the floor under me, It feels comfortable, almost too comfortable it's giving me flashbacks to something I don't remember.

I want to move my hands and feel it, enjoy it even if it's a dream, it's a dream right? Why would someone like her get me on such a comfortable bed.

Bed.

I jumped from fear, forgetting everything about the 'pretending to still be sleeping' plan. I felt my hand go over my body and relief almost took over me when I felt clothes under my touch, almost. Because when I looked down I found clothes that aren't mine yet they're on my body, these are clothes I would never own, the smooth cotton is burning my skin despite it being the best material my body had ever felt.

"Calm down you're safe." Said a voice who just walked in from someplace I don't know, someone I saw before. It took my tired brain a few seconds to place who this guy is. "Why am I here? Did I really deserve all this for knocking over a bottle?" My voice sounded unfamiliar, like someone scratched it with a dry leaf.

"Did he wake up?" Someone came into view, no one other than Minho himself of course "Why are you crying?" I only noticed when he pointed it out yet I didn't care enough to dry my face. He's really asking me why am I crying? Like a person's reaction should be any different after some rich bastard decided to have some fun with him.

"Let me go!" I shouted, or at least I tried but it sounded more like a whisper, "let me go, why are you doing this?" I sobbed from the pain shooting through my veins like a poison. "Please just let me go." I'm getting exhausted my body feels like the weakest feather that has to carry all the responsibilities of flying.

"Go." The word left his mouth with no emotions, like he doesn't care that I'm here for me to beg to leave, he's acting like I chose to be here even though I don't know where here is.

I nodded and gathered the little energy left in my body to walk to the door that he was standing next to, he opened it for me and walked farther into the bedroom, "keep the clothes." He said casually as I exited the room, I don't know what I expected to see when I walked out but for some reason a hallway wasn't one.

"Walk left till you find the stairs they'll lead you right to the door, it's not locked." Chan said when he noticed that I stopped walking. I didn't waste energy into nodding and just followed his instructions.

The door was open but outside it was more confusing. Idk how I will get home, I don't even know how to get out of these gates. Right then I noticed the bike that the lady gave me next to the opened door, I took and just kept walking till finally a gate came into view, the guards let me pass with no questions but a pity look, I don't want to imagine how bad I look right now.

I rode it once I finally left that horrible place and started peddling with all the energy inside me, at this rate I'll probably arrive at 3am that if I even arrived, I have no idea where I am or how long I have to keep going, my body is aching, my empty stomach is begging for just some water, I don't remember when was the last time I chewed something. I just wish I die right now so I don't have to deal with all this.

As if my wishes are always accepted, this one was almost immediately, my vision started getting blurry and I lost control over the bike, it's like the whole planning in spinning in the opposite direction from where I want to go.

I can feel blood coming out of somewhere in my body, the weight of the bike is on top of me, but I didn't care, I just want to sleep, sleeping here wouldn't be the worst thing that happened to me.
