BTS: I Think I Love You

Chapter 7

I stare at the ground as I walk to school. The breeze makes my short hair fly messily around my face. It is finally getting longer. At the start of the year, it was pretty much a pixie cut. Now it rests on my shoulders, my fringe almost too long.

The school comes into view and I slow my pace down. It's become a habit of sorts for me to slow down when I see the school. I don't want to be in school, but I do it so that I can go to college. I want, no I need, to get into a good college so that I can get a high paying job to support my mom. She doesn't deserve to have the job she does.

As I am nearing the entrance of the school I see a couple making out on a bench in the darkest corner of the front school garden. Something seems familiar about them though. I feel as if I have seen them before. I stop in my tracks, squinting my eyes so that I can see if I can make out who they are.

My eyes widen in shock as I recognize Tom's sister Cam. She has her arms locked around V's neck. I had so much hope for him. It looks like he fell into her trap as well.

Wait. He is making out with Cam. Which means that if Tom catches him he is going to get seriously injured.

My feet start moving before my brain has a chance to realize what I am doing. I find myself running towards the kissing couple. I pull them apart and glare accusingly at Cam, a frown on my face. How could she be this reckless? If Tom or one of his friends had seen them, V would have been in serious trouble.

"What the hell! What was that for slut?" she yells at me. Her hair is a mess from him running his fingers through it.

"Your brother will destroy him if he finds out!" I yell as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"What are you even doing here?"

That time it was V who yelled at me. I open my mouth to speak but nothing comes out. He glares at me, the kind guy I met before gone. He has totally been brainwashed by Cam and her ways. I know I deserve it, but I thought he was different.

"I was only trying to-"

"Trying to break us up already? Why are you so desperate?"

I stare at him, my eyes wide, as he bares down upon me. His menacing glare makes me back up until my back is against a tree.

"N-n-no. I wasn't try-"

"That was a rhetorical question dumb fuck."

I pear over his shoulder, my gaze landing on Cam. She is standing behind him with a smirk on her face. She is totally loving this. She turned him even more against me than he already was. For some reason, my eyes flicker up to someone standing a ways away. My eyes widen as I spot Tom walking towards us. I have to warn them.

"I'm trying to warn y-"

He places a hand over my mouth, getting close to my face.

"Stop talking! You are such a fake slut. Why are you still here?"

I try and speak up once again to warn them but Tom is already there, a hand on V's shoulder. He flinches at the touch, turning around to confront him. He is about to tell him off, but his voice gets caught in his throat. Probably because Tom is several inches taller and wider than he is.

"Everything alright here?" He asks, a smile on his face. I look at the ground in front of me, too scared to look him in the eye. V backs up as Tom steps forward, him staying behind him just watching us. I flinch slightly as Tom strokes my face. He chuckles lightly as he gets close to me, his breath fanning my face.

"Hey honey. How are you?"

I whimper as Tom kisses my cheek and neck, my eyes squeezing shut. He continues to kiss me, ignoring his sister and her boy toy. I close my fists tightly in on themselves as he grabs onto my waist. I don't do anything to stop him though. I know I won't be able to defend myself against someone like him. I've already tried.

"What were those two doing when you came here love?" He asks while turning his head to the couple. They have moved noticeably farther apart than they were when he first got here, finally aware of the situation they have gotten themselves into.

"They were just talking" I say as confidently as I can.

"If you are lying to me, I won't be happy" Tom says while making our noses touch. I gulp before nodding my head in understanding. I can't believe I am risking my safety for a guy who hates me now and a girl who pretty much wants me dead.

Tom kisses my lips, slobbering all over them. My lips shake with fear as he pulls away, running his fingers through my hair.

"I like your hair long" he says before winking and walking away.

I watch his back as I wipe off my lips with the back of my hand. Ugh that was disgusting. I don't think I have ever met someone I hate as much as I hate him.

Before leaving, I lock eyes with V once more. He has a confused look on his face, as if he doesn't know what just happened.

"Why are you so scared of him?" He asks, his head cocked to the side. Oh, so now he wants me to talk to him.

"Why shouldn't I be?" I ask back.

"Isn't he your boyfriend?"

I almost laugh at this. Him? My boyfriend? When Hell freezes over. I would never in a million years go out with him, and I make sure to express my opinion.

"I would never date him."
