The next few days were uneasy. Namjoon was on constant look out for any sign of my parents as I continued to get texts from them. They kept talking about how they knew were I was and were coming to get me. It was like a constant countdown to my leaving day.

Namjoon begged me every day to stay but I never said yes. I couldn't make promises that I knew I couldn't keep. I had to leave. I knew I had to, it was the only way to keep them all safe.

My parents wanted me to be evil and I didn't want to hurt people but I'd rather I was like them than have my real family get hurt or die under the hands of my fake family. The very people who lied to my face and pretended to love me.

Namjoon and I had told everyone about the texts and they all didn't want me to leave. It pained me to see them pretty much beg me to stay but I couldn't promise anything. They were coming for me and it wouldn't be long until they arrived and took me away. When they do come, I will give myself up willingly to avoid any injuries.

It was raining and I was sat in my bedroom looking out the window watching the raindrops race down the window. I remembered doing this as a kid when I felt lonely which was pretty often. I used to sit in my room for days looking out the window watching the rain and the groups of children my age having fun.

I used to think that Lilly was my true best friend until she left me. I remember the pain I felt when she left and I knew I was causing that pain now but it had to be done. Tears filled my eyes once more but I wiped them away and swallowed my pain. No tears today, it will just make things harder for me.

Thunder roared through the sky as I pulled my legs up to my chest and began to hum a sweet tune. It was a tune I remember hearing when I was baby, it used to help me sleep during stormy nights. And the way I was feeling now felt like I was stuck in storm. Like a boat out at sea and heading for the rocks. There was no way for me to save myself but I could save everyone else.

Someone knocked on my door, I turned my head to see Hoseok standing in he doorway. His hair messy as he had been outside with Namjoon. I smiled as he came over and sat next to me.

"How you feeling?" He asked me.

"I'd be lying if I said I was fine" I said to him.

"I can feel your sadness Lacey" he said sitting across me from and pulling his legs up to his chest. "What are you thinking about?"

"My childhood" I told him. "I remember sitting in front of the window when it rained and watched the raindrops race down the window"

"I used to do that too" Hoseok said smiling. "I remember I couldn't sleep without someone stroking my hair"

"Do you miss it?" I asked.

He nodded. "Yeah sometimes but I love this life more than my human one"

I half smiled. "Do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

"Lacey, I'm like everyone else. I want you to stay but I can already feel that you've made up your mind"

I took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm hurting Namjoon. I can see the pain his eyes"

"Yeah he's hurt. You can change that" Hoseok said looking hopeful.

I shook my head. "If I refuse them then they will hurt you guys. That's something I can't live with"

"You care for us?"

I nodded. "You's are my family. My real family"

He slid over to me and pulled me in to a hug. "I don't want to see you get hurt either Lacey"

I pulled out of the hug. "I'd rather I got hurt than any of you"

"There's no convincing you is there?" He asked.

I shook my head. "I'm stubborn"

He laughed. "I can tell"

Just as I felt like the atmosphere in the house had changed there was a large bang that came from downstairs. Hoseok and I exchanged looks before sprinting down the stairs and outside. We were met with a sight of Namjoon pressed up against the wall and my parents standing in the woods.

They gave me a smirk as they seen me come outside. Their eyes glazed over the group that formed beside me as I went over to Namjoon. This is what I was afraid of.

"My my, look who's a vampire?" I heard my mother say.

I got up and turned to them with anger in my eyes. "You bitch"

She threw her head back and laughed. "You're just like me Lacey. But you're more powerful"

"I am nothing like you"

My father raised his hand to my mother, she took a step behind my father as she bowed her head.

"No one needs to get hurt Lacey. You know how to end this" he said. His eyes motioned to Namjoon who was being treated by Jimin.

I sighed. "If I come with you, no one gets hurt right?"

"We only want you Lacey" he said. "You can kill me so why would I lie?"

I nodded and made my way over to the he stairs. Namjoon sat up with pain in his eyes.

'"Lacey don't go" he whispered.

I shook my head. "I love you all but I don't want you to get hurt. I am so sorry"

I turned back and walked over to my father who had a triumphant look in his eyes. He had won, he had me and I was away from my mate. My father put his arm around me as he made me say goodbye.

"I'm sorry" I mouthed as tears streamed down my face and I disappeared.

The pain in my chest was something I had never experienced. This was what a broken heart felt like.
