XOXO

Ch.8 Memories

"We're here everyone." Mr. Lee yelled from the front of the bus.

I woke up with a massive headache. I heard Kai snoring beside of me and Chanyeol sleeping with his mouth open. Then I remembered about the fight Sehun and me just had. I glanced at Sehun and he wasn't asleep. He was just staring at the front of the bus.

The guys were slowly waking up and we got off the bus.

We were at a park. Everyone was sitting at the benches and I didn't want to be near Sehun and I had a massive headache so I asked Mrs. Kim if I can walk around for a little bit because I wasn't feeling so good.

I was walking around and my headache was killing me. I continued walking.

My vision was getting blurry. And I sat down at a bench.

What was happening?

It felt like my head was thumping. It hurt so bad.

I covered my face with my hands.

And then... Something happened...

Everything happened.

All the things that I've been dreaming about all flashed in my head. But something happened...

"I'm-". The boy said.

"Let's be friends."

"Your my best friend."

"Promise me that-"

"I'm so sorry."

"They're coming!!"

"Run!!"

"Saranghae, I'll protect you."

All this happened in my head in a split second. These were things he said. All that my memory was allowing me to remember.

Then I saw a car. It was a car, that made the screeching sound, that...

...

hit us?

We got hit by a car!!! I saw a light of flash and then a loud noise of a car braking. Next thing I saw in my flashback was that we were in a ambulance... I reached over to the boy beside of me and held his hand. He had blood all over him. And his arm, it had a gash.

My head hurt even more. I couldn't see anything. I was crying my eyes out. What was happening.

"Chanyeol!! Chanyeol!!" I heard the child voice of me scream and the scream started to fade and the scream of my voice now was all I heard.

I fell to my knees scraping it. I was screaming and crying. This horrifying feeling that I haven't had in so long. I was crying so hard that it was hard for me to breathe.

It was Chanyeol.

That kid was Chanyeol.

I remember now.

I remember now.

Chanyeol was my only friend. The only friend I had when I was younger. The friend that was taken away from me. The friend that was erased from my memory.

I crouched down and cried even more. My head was hurting so badly I think it was about to explode.

"Chanyeol." I said to myself while I was crying.

My heart hurt so badly. It felt like someone just stabbed it.

I just forgot my first friend. I just let him go.

I was crying so much that I didn't want to care anymore. I was so hurt. I never got to know what happened to him. I just remember waking up not remembering. Not remembering how I ended up in the hospital and why I had bandages rapped around my head.

I missed his hugs so much. I thought about before we got hit by he car and he hugged me. His hug made me feel protected, I felt his warmth. I missed it.

I still don't know what we were running away from.

I was crying still, my knees scraped, my heart filled with pain, my head hurting.

Does Chanyeol know? The question hit me. I have to go tell him!

I got up and ran. My eyes were still watering and my face was filled with tears.

I was running as fast as I could. I ran back to the picnic tables and then that's when I saw...

... everything.

....

Nana kissed Chanyeol on the cheek. They were at the buses getting stuff out.

I was so shocked. It felt like my heart just stopped, like everything was in slow motion, everything around me was in slow motion.

My eyes... I was tearing up again...

Suddenly I felt someone's hands cover my eyes.

I pulled their hands off and turned around.

It was...Sehun.

He pulled me closer to him and hugged me.

It felt so good to be in someone's arms right now. I needed someone. I tried to be strong but I don't know if I can anymore.

"Don't look. I don't want you to get hurt again."

I didn't know what to do. I hugged him.

I hugged him and buried my face in his shoulder and cried.

"I'm sorry Sehun that I made you regret. I'm so sorry." I could barely say this. I was crying and I felt so bad for Sehun. I was so mean to him but he's still here for me. He's the one that's comforting.

He rubbed my back. "Don't be, I'm the one who should be saying sorry. Don't cry."

Him telling me to not cry made me want to cry even more.

I hugged him even tighter. I didn't want to let go. It was a warm feeling.

"What's wrong. I've never seen you like his before. Are you ok." Sehun said.

"I needed a hug."

Sehun probably didn't understand what I meant but he still hugged me and he was about to kiss me on my forehead. But he hesitated. "I'm sorry that I can't hide my feelings for you. I don't regret kissing you. But I'll try to not show my feeli-"

"Don't. Don't try to hide your feelings. Don't say anything more."

His hug made me feel protected, I didn't want to say anything more.

I just wanted a moment of silence. Everything was happening all so fast.
