A mistake

the last straw

At the party

The four girls minus eunchae, who chose to hang with kyujin, walked into the birthday fiesta. Music was blasting ,drinks were being passed around and games were being played.

Games.

Sakura always loved games.

And tonight...

She would play a new one a interesting one in my opinion

Kazuha and yunjin ran off, oblivious to the death grip chaewon had on sakura. Sakura knew exactly what was going to happen tonight.

The music was loud the lights were bright and it was eating at her, but chaewon seemed to notice this.

"Are you good? We can leave whenever you want to, don't hesitate to tell me"

" its fine im fine" sakura quickly said leaving her looking at chaewons strained expression.

As the night went on sakura took a seat next to chaewon of course as chaewon talked to everyone around her. Chaewon had always seemed to be a undercover social butterfly. Sakura had friends. "Had" now that was something. She has friends. "Has" is something else. For some reason she wasn't sure what was real and what was not. Her friends ruined her life so she "had friends". Somi coming up to her makes her seem and feel like she still "has" them.

" Hey why do you look like that?" somi asks as she sits next to her

"Like what?"

"Like a train just hit you"

Sakura glares "well its not like it hasnt"

" you know i havent seen you like this in a while"

"What do you mean?"

" Your just sakura" sakura looks at her confused " not to say that your not sakura but this version is the one i first met. I havent seen her in what is it like two years? Well not since youve joined the corner."

"Oh shut up you act like your not apart of it"

" i never said i wasnt but im not you. I learned my limit and i learned how to get out of it"

" i know my limit." she angrily replies to the happy looking girl in front of her "your always in that corner with me so how is it that your fine"

" like i said i know my limit i put my boundaries first. In other words im an occasional user."

" im an occasional user too"

"Your not"

"But i am"

" you know what whatever helps you sleep at night. But if you were an occasional user you wouldnt be looking how you look right now. Your a wreck sakura and you didnt even need to tell me why. I can see the itch in your eyes already. How long has it been?"

"12 hours"

" see 12 hours and your basically on the verge of a breakdown. What happened?"

Sakura tells her about chaewon finding her

"Damn.. well i could always help you if you needed more"

Sakuras eyes shot up too fast. Her night was starting to fall into place.

" i couldnt possibly ask that of you"

"Stop with the dramatics and come"

"Chaewon is holding me hostage and if she sees me there im dead"

"Chaewon is over there buzzed and probably wont even notice so lets just go"

"Okay lets go"

The two girls slip away into a makeshift corner with their gang
