"Is Rae home?"
My mother tilted her head. "She's grounded, but I guess you could go up there."
Brooke walked through the hall, and up the stairs. I heard a knock on my door, and almost knew it was her.
"Uh, come in." I quickly wiped my smudged eyeliner.
"Hey girly. How was work yesterday?" She laid on the bed.
"You know, good." I sniffled. She quickly brought her head up.
"Are you-
She grabbed my shoulders, and pulled me into a hug. "What's wrong?"
"I'm just stressed over finals, that's all."
"Finals were last week, stop lying to me." She pulled my hair back.
"I-I was at the police station yesterday."
Her eyes went wide. "What happened? Are you hurt?"
"Jimin—
She stood up. "That bastard, what did he do? Do I have to fight him?"
I lightly laughed, but then returned to my droopy mood. "He gave me a ride after the exam."
"Honey, you know better." She lowered her brows.
"I know I know. Yoongi ditched me, so he was my only option, and he insisted."
"So what went wrong?" She quietly asked.
"He just.. he made me feel uncomfortable." I hid my face from embarrassment. "Gosh, this is so weird to talk about."
"What the hell did he do?"
"He started touching me, and making sexual jokes, and a- I'm sorry for being so over dramatic."
She rubbed my back. "It's okay, you're not being over dramatic. No guy should ever think he has the right to touch you without your permission. And anyone who thinks otherwise can suck my d—"
"I just can't trust being around him anymore. It's hard to avoid him, since he's my neighbor, and he hangs around Yoongi, Hoseok, just everyone."
"Listen, you stay here. I'll go talk to him. He won't be mean to Hoseok's girlfriend." She smiled at me.
