sometimes it hurts to imagine what we could've been

"Did you see her too?"

"I heard what happen. I feel sorry for him."

"He's just going to have to man up. It happens all the time."

"I heard it was because of Jin?"

"It's Jungkook. That why he came for him."

"No, it was probably one of the girls from her school."

"I heard it was her own brother."

"Kookie?"

"Maybe her family just didn't like her."

"Jungkookie?"

"I'll ask my church to pray for her."

"Jeon Jungkook."

"Huh?" My eyes dart open which was a major mistake since I was met with Jimin's eyes staring straight into mine. "What the- where am I?" I lift myself up just for his cold hands to push me back down.

He starts wiggling his hands in front of my face, confusing me. "Two weeks into the future," he says in some genie voice.

"What!?"

"The car accident... don't you remember. You're the only one who took it rough since you weren't wearing a seatbelt. But I broke my damn leg and Hoseok is in a wheelchair temporarily." He sits next to me on the bed. "You have a concussion. Does it hurt?"

"No," I rub my head.

"It's probably the morphine but God was my heart rushing. There was so much blood I thought you were dead." I remember it like it was yester..." his words trailed off and he eventually cleared his throat before changing the subject. "Enough about me. Your mom just left to get some ice."

I look out the window right next to my bed and sigh. "I had a dream about Lisa again. This time everyone wouldn't shut up."

"Hoseok told me not to say anything but you're my friend and I can't keep a thing from you." His bit his lower lip anxiously as I tuned in to what he had to say. "Lisa came back. The body they found in the water wasn't her, Jungkookie."

My heart beating out of my chest was all I could hear at this point. I had no choice but to lay as flat as I could since I had the feeling of needing to throw up. "Why are you lying to me."

"I'm not! I swear," he peeks at my heart monitor briefly. "Her and Yoongi came to visit you yesterday, Jungkook. She was going on about how she didn't know you but she wishes you the best. An hour after that she got on a flight to Thailand to go live with her mom."

"Jimin-ah!"

"I couldn't stop her. But under Namjoon's orders, I gave her your story to read. He went into a whole emotional speech about how she deserves to read what was written about her. She liked... no, she loved it. Said she wanted an original copy too."

"That's embarrassing! What else did you do while I was out? Sell my soul without my permission."

"Well, duh!" I slap his arm. "I'm joking." He then leans over and slaps my short story on my lap. "She left you something."

I couldn't move fast enough to flip through the pages. Then on the very last one, my heart dropped. "And I just want to run to you and hope you know that every time I don't... I almost do." - Lalisa M.
