Let Me Love You

Run

Darkness. That's all you could see, an eerie darkness that seemed endless. You sat up, your head pounding. You had no idea where you were. You moved quietly, walking against the wall to find a light switch. You were confused, there wasn't a single light switch in the room. Moving your hands up and down the walls, you checked for a second, third time before making your way back to the small bed. Where the hell where you? All you remember is leaving your apartment with Jiyong.. and that's when it hit.

*flashback*

"My car is the black Jeep, hurry and put your things in the back." The both of you quickly obeyed, shoving suitcases into the back with some help. "My house is about 30 minutes away, not that long of a drive. Once we get there I'll call some people to come get the rest of your stuff, okay?" You nodded, looking over Jiyong's shoulder. There was a person standing there, staring at the three of you.

Jake.

He motioned you to come to where he was, then disappeared in between two buildings. "What are you looking at?" You snapped your head back to him, trying to hide your worry. "N-nothing. I just realized I forgot my phone, could you go get it for me?" He gave you a questioning look, before nodding. "Get in the car, I'll be right back out." He pulled you in, kissing your forehead, then your cheek, then your lips. He ran off, and you knew it was the last time you'd ever feel his lips on yours again.

Chelsea climbed into the back, and as soon as she was in, you locked her in from the outside. She looked at you through the window, a confused look on her face. You looked over to find Jake back where he was originally standing. Chelsea's confused look soon turned into a horrified one. "Rae! Don't you fucking dare! Get in the car!" She was screaming and pounding on the window, begging you to get inside. You shook your head, holding back tears. "Chelsea, I love you. Take care of yourself, please."

You turned on your heel and ran, praying Jiyong was still inside. Chelsea's pleas played in your head over and over as you neared the alley, and you prayed she would be okay. Your body was yanked into the alley, your back pushed against the rough brick wall. "Who knew you'd listen to me? I'm glad you did. Good girl, Rae." You opened your mouth to talk, but soon felt something heavy hit your head. Everything went black.

*End of flashback*

Your heart was suddenly filled with fear. You couldn't breathe, you couldn't move. Jake had found you again. And this time, he didn't have anybody stopping him from finishing what he started. You didn't even get to say goodbye to Woozi. To Vernon, and the other wonderful members you had met while with them. You didn't get to say goodbye to Jiyong. 'Oh my God, if I ever make it out alive, he'll never talk to me again.' You didn't cry. You felt numb. So, is this how people spend their last living moments? Regretting the things they did and didn't do? You shakily laid back down on the bed, trying to control your ragged breathing.

All of the sudden, a very bright light filled the room. You didn't flinch, not a bit. "Well, look who's awake! Nice to see you again, Rae." You shuddered at the sound of his voice. Sitting up, you kept your eyes on the floor, not saying anything. "Ah, the cold shoulder, huh? That's a shame. I thought we could talk. And I think it'd be in your best interest to listen." You looked up at him, continuing to stay silent. He walked over to you, pulling up a chair. "I don't want you to hate me. Because I'm still in love with you Rae, and I finally found you. And I don't plan on letting you go." 

You glared at him, putting every ounce of hatred into the stare. Jake chuckled. "Even though I don't want you to hate me, I know you do. So I have a compromise. I won't finish what I started if you come back to the States with me. We can start over, we can fall in love with each other again. Isn't that what-" You stood from the bed, anger replacing any fear you felt. You put your hands on the arms of his chair, getting in his face. "I would rather die one thousand times than be with your pathetic ass ever again." He chuckled again, enjoying the lack of space between the two of you. This only fueled your anger.
