Stranded (An EXO and SHINee ft. B.A.P fanfic)

Chapter 18 - Jenny

The tips of my ponytail were turning blue. What the hell? The last time I checked, the ends of my hair were a firey red-orange. My normally brown and orange-speckled eyes were turning to a greyish light blue. I could see it reflecting in Tamia's now silver eyes.

"Get out of the water," Tamia said urgently.

"What?"

"Are you deaf? Get out of the water!"

"Why?"

"You can die! Get out!" she screamed. I didn't value my life, I really didn't. But because she was screaming hysterically, I pushed myself up onto the poolground floor.

"Let me, then," I said, dangerously quiet. She looked up at me like I was crazy. I was.

Sighing, I got up from the ground. Baekhyun walked over to me. I looked at his eyes. They were a dark grey.

"Are you... Ok?" he asked, hesitating.

"You tell me," I whispered.

"You aren't," Baekhyun said after a while.

"I'm not," I confirmed. Straightening up, I reached back to undo my ponytail. I pulled the white hair tie out of its' position, letting silver blue hair fall down past my shoulders. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jen. That's what he calls me. A familiar image flashes in the back of my head. I could almost recognize it. Almost. Who is it? Who used to call me Jen? Why can't I remember anything?

"Jen?" Baek asks. No, that's not right. It can't be... "Jen," he repeats, a little louder. My head shot up, alarmed.

"Y-yeah?" I asked, stammering. Baekhyun chuckled.

"You ok?" he asked, smiling.

"Yeah, why?" I said softly.

"Dunno," he shrugged, "You usually seem so together, but now you just look like a lost puppy."

"I'm thinking, that's why."

"So you get lost when you think? I thought you were supposed to find not lose."

"Well, you thought wrong. Sometimes you must lose something in order to find another," I said calmly.

"Yaah," Baekhyun whined, "You're so boring now!"

"Go play with your boyfriend Chanyeol or something," I muttered.

"What?"

"Go play with your best friend, Chanyeol," I said louder.

Baekhyun's smirk dropped as he looked at Chanyeol. I followed his gaze. He was looking at Chanyeol and Kris. Sighing, I stood up and gently placed a hand on Baekhyun's shoulder. He inhaled sharply. Slowly, he took my hand and took it off his shoulder.

"He's not my best friend. Not anymore," Baekhyun said slowly. Oh. Oh..

"Then, who is?"

"You," he said, smiling lightly. I grinned back. I watched Tamia and Tao run around the pool, playing tag. And they're older than me. Yeah, right. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.

"Baek? If it's ok to call you that..."

"Yeah?" he said.

"You said I can control water right?"

"Mhm," he nodded.

"Great! Watch this."

I swirled the water with my finger, slowly lifting the ribbon of water into my hand to form a sphere. When I was sure it  was ready, I flung it at Tamia, hitting her back between her shoulders. She screamed and Tao started to laugh.
