Not him, HER

{25- The Proposal}

The half Korean Mexican girl stood across the street with her hands in her black coat. Her green/blue eyes staring ahead of her at the park. She stood there for approximately thirty minutes now, waiting for something to happen. It was past two in the morning, somehow she found herself on the same sidewalk leading to the road where the accident had almost happened. She tilted her head to the side as her eyes traveled down to the road still remembering the stitches on her left shoulder that had finally healed. Her right hand turned into a fist slowly remembering Howl's face. She still remembered the smirk on his lips as he watched the car full speed head towards Tatter. It had taken her some time to realize it but she knew, she knew he would never hurt Bada. His intentions that day weren't to hurt her but make sure that Leah would die. He knew she would do everything and anything to protect those around her, including dying for them. He had used Bada and Tatter as bait to get what he wanted. Her phone began to buzz in her back pocket as she stood there. She could still see the look of shock in his face when he realized she had made it out alive.

Her eyes had caught the license plate of the car before she looked at him. He waited until everyone was distracted by the two injured females before he decided to flee the scene. It was no surprise to her seeing as he was no longer around them or in the hospital. Her eyes flickered to Just Jerk Academy which is down the block. All the lights were off, and the place had been locked up without a single movement inside. For some reason she found herself unable to sleep and wide awake at night. Endless thoughts running through her mind, and it surely didn't help when Bada wasn't around. She had stayed at her shared apartment with Tatter, having a sleepover with the rest of the girls. Letting out a breath she pulled her phone out finding a text message from her manager and a missed call from Ivy. She clicked on the message reading over it.

Baekhyun-

You and the girls have an opening in two weeks. Is it okay to schedule a last minute interview?
The Knowing Bros want you and the girls to attend.

Licking her lips she thought about it for a second. She did have an opening and wouldn't be sure of what to do. Taking a deep breath in, she thought about the girls and what they would want. Obviously, they want to be reunited and together once again. It would also look good for publicity and would get them more followers/fans if anything. She texted him back agreeing to do the interview. Lifting her head up she locked her phone, tossing it to her back pocket. She turned on her heels, deciding to just head back home. She stopped at a red light clicking on the button to cross. Her phone started to buzz once again in her back pocket making her furrowed her brows in confusion. She pulled her phone out seeing an unknown number making her clench her jaw. She still answered having a feeling of who could be calling. "Babe, you look stunning right now. Who knew you could dress that way?" Hearing him call her 'babe' made her skin crawl in disgust. Her eyes looked around searching for him, aware he wasn't too far from her. Especially if knew what she's wearing at the moment.

The corner of her mouth turned upwards knowing he's playing some type of game right now. Normally when he would call out of nowhere and make daring compliments like these it meant a trick/game. He always loves to mess with her head any chance he gets. "Okay, thanks. Get to the point, Howl." She spat out, growing annoyed by his tone of voice. She hated when he would beat around the bush and not tell her straight up what he wanted. This was his way of manipulation and playing with your mind. She held the phone pressed against her ear, hearing her phone buzz again. She pulled it away looking at a message that came in from Bada. "I must admit I'm quite hurt by your betrayal. You promise me you weren't dating Bada and you would leave her. Yet, it seems like you two never broke up in the first place." Rolling her eyes she crossed the road seeing the light turned on. Her eyes still wander around her being a bit cautious of her surroundings. He liked to pop out of nowhere because in his defense it kept you on your toes. As she made it safely to the other side of the road.
