Stay Away (2tae.)

Taeyong~

I heard light knocking on my door. I stared at it. I told him that I wanted him to stay away from me. I waited a few minutes until I heard his footsteps disappear.

I sighed and went back to my phone. As soon as I was about to lay down my phone rings.

I glanced at the caller ID to see it was my dad. I groaned. I really didn’t want to talk to him right now. I don’t want to be told everyday about how big of a failure I am and how “hard” mom and dad have worked to get me into this school.

What about how hard I’ve worked? I’m not as dumb as they make me out to be. Just because Jackson isn’t here anymore doesn’t give them the right to shove their thoughts, beliefs, and expectations down my throat. That’s why I was so glad to hear that i had gotten into this place.

The only downside?

My father happens to be in charge of the school board. Meaning he’ll be here every once in a while to “check up on me.” Today just happened to be one of those days.

I answered the phone and put it up against my ear. “Yes father?” I tried to sound as happy as I possibly could. “They didn’t tell me you were going to be having a boy as a roommate.”

I could hear how angry he was. “What did you expect would happen father. They don’t feel comfortable with boys and girls sharing a room.” I rolled my eyes.

“Don’t talk to me that way!” I closed my eyes and counted to five before responding. “Nothing’s going to happen.” I whispered. I knew he didn’t believe me though.

He has not trusted me since he found out. “Taeyong stay away from him and I mean it. You don’t want me to do what I did to Ten.”

I could feel the tears threatening to spill. How dare he say his name? How fucking dare he? My dad new how much Ten meant to me that’s why he brought him up. I didn’t respond back to him I just hung up the phone.

Memories started coming back to me. The same memories that would make me smile or laugh happen to be the same ones that bring me pain and sorrow.

I laid my head back against my pillow and curled up into a ball. I let go of all of the tears I was holding in and silently cried.

I woke up to my face feeling swollen. I checked my phone to see that it was 7:30 at night. My stomach started to growl. Oh yeah I didn’t really eat when my dad dropped me off. I quietly opened my door and walked to the kitchen.

I could hear music softly playing from Taeil’s room and I smiled to myself. He was listening to SHInee’s View. At least he has great taste in music.. I looked on the counter to see a bag with a sticky note on it.

Taeyong,

I know you said to leave you alone but I noticed you hadn’t eaten any thing so I grabbed you something from Subway. I hope you like it..

-Taeil

I looked in the bag to see two sandwiches wrapped up, a bag of chips and two cookies. I grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge and made my way to my room with the food.

Should I thank him? I paused right before heading into my room and glanced at Taeil’s door again. I sat my food down and grabbed a sticky note and a pen.

Taeil,

Thanks for the food but I told you to stay away from me remember? You don’t have to worry about me.

-Taeyong

I quickly knocked on his door and slept the note underneath his door before grabbing my things and closing my door. I stood up against my door and listened for him.

I heard a door unlock. I stood there a little longer before I heard footsteps coming towards my door. I felt something slide against my foot and I looked down.

There was a small yellow note. I slid down against my door and read it.

Taeyong,

Maybe I want to worry about you..

I dropped the note on the ground. I could feel the heat rising on my cheeks. My father has already made it clear that he didn’t want me to have anything to do with Taeil.

I think it’ll be kind of harder now. I unwrapped my sandwich and ate it.

It was an Italian sandwich on flat bread. I moaned at the taste. After I finished eating. I took of my pants and my shirt then walked over to my dresser.

I grabbed a plain white t shirt and a pair of sweatpants. I climbed into bed and turned off my light.

My mind was still raising from what my dad had said earlier. I wish Ten was here…
