BTS: I Think I Love You

Chapter 22

I stand up from my seat once the bell rings, eager to get out of the class. Jungkook has been trying to get me to talk all lesson, and it's been really hard ignoring him. He was the first person to be nice to me and now I'm just casting him aside. I know I'm doing it for his own good, but it still hurts to not be able to confide in anyone.

I stand up a little too quickly in my haste and stumble. I have to hold onto the edge of my desk in order for me to not fall over. I lost more blood than I thought. My thoughts are fuzzy as I keep myself balanced, my ears ringing. I shut them tight to try and get over how dizzy I am feeling, my fists clenched at my sides. When I open my eyes again, I'm not alone. Everyone had left the classroom except for the guys, their eyes filled with worry. For the first time since I've known them, every single one of them is looking at me like that.

"Are you ok Z?" Rap monster ask, a worried expression on his face. I nod my head as I start walking towards the door. I take about five steps before stumbling again, my legs like jello beneath me. I catch myself on yet another desk, my arms trembling from supporting me for so long. I knew I should have just stayed at home today. The cuts and the head injury took a lot out of me. I should be spending this time regaining my strength.

V is the closest one to me so he holds his arms out as if he's going to try and help me. He puts them down again when I glare at him, my eyes sharp and icy. I don't need their help. I can get through this by myself. If Tom sees them helping me, they will be in trouble. I don't want them to get hurt, no matter how much they hurt me before. They may not have hurt me physically, but words can hurt as well. Whoever came up with the saying 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me' is a lier. Words can hurt so fucking much. They sting like a bitch, and the right one can break someone mentally.

"You aren't fine" Jin says soothingly as he walks closer to me. He holds onto my shoulders, rubbing them gently. I close my eyes at his touch, the comfort almost bringing tears to my eyes. Why do they care so much? Why must they do this to me? It's making it harder to walk away and do the right thing.

I gently take his hands off of me, pushing myself off the desk. That's when Suga walks up, a murderous glare in his eyes. I instinctively bring my hands up to cover my face as he gets right in front of me, afraid that I've down something wrong. I'm surprised when he trails his fingers along my leg, lifting up my skirt slightly. I watch as his eyes harden at the cuts on myself, a muscle in his jaw clenching. He looks at me, bringing his face closer to mine in anger. His nose brushes mine as he stares into my soul, his eyes holding nothing but anger.

"Who. Did. This?"

I gulp as I stare at him, afraid of what he would do if I told him. I won't find out though because I can't. I can't tell him. Tom would kill me and then go after them. I shake my head, my eyes wide. He growls before backing away. I can literally see smoke coming out of his ears as he balls his hands into fists.

"Did you see what was carved into her legs? Did you fucking see that!?! I can't stand for this shit anymore!"

I stand up straight as they continue talking about what they are gunna do to whoever hurt me. I start to sway again, my head throbbing painfully. I need to lay down or else I'm gunna faint again.

"Guys?" I say, my voice barely over a whisper. They continue to yell as my my world goes dark around the edges, my strength diminishing.

"You guys?" I try again. This time my voice is stronger, causing them all to look at me as one. I open my mouth to tell them, but I can't seem to get any sound out.

"What's wrong?"

"Aigoo! You look so pale!"

"Don't move ok."

"What's the matter? Are you ok?"

That's the last thing I hear before collapsing. My body hits the floor and I can hear the guys as they panic around me. I wanna tell them that I'll be fine, but I can't. The world dissolves around me and I let the darkness take over.
