I stood, backstage. I was going to perform. I heard my name being called, so I went to go onstage, but someone grabbed my wrist. I turned, and saw Xiumin, panting.
"Xiumin, let go of-"
"Mei, listen to me. I'm sorry." He cut me off.
"Xiumin, I need to perform. Let go." I tried to pull away.
"No. I'm not letting go. I won't lose you again. Not this time."
"Amelia! On stage! Now!" My manager called. I sighed.
"Xiumin, I have to go. You're getting me in trouble with my manager. Now let...go!" I yanked my arm out of his grip and ran onto the stage, to perform.

It was nearly dark, as I walked to my hotel room. I felt someone grab my waist, then there was a whisper by my ear.
"What'rr you doin out side wen its darrk, laydee?" The voice was heavily accented, so I knew immediately who it was. I turned, to face Xiumin.
"Stop this, Minseok." I sighed.
"Why did you leave? Why? Especially when we have another baby on the way."
"Xiumin-"
"Listen, Mei. The others have no control over what you choose to do, so don't let their whining get to you."
"Xiu-"
"So I really don't know why you would up and leave like that, with the now three-"
"XIUMIN!" I shouted, making him quiet. "Please, stop talking. I wonder why you're considered quiet. Stop saying that there's three."
"But there is-"
"No, Xiumin. There isn't. Well, there won't be after tomorrow." He gasped, realisation hitting him.
"Mei, don't do that, please don't. The others were just tired from performances, they didn't mean what they said. None of us want our baby to die." He pulled me into a hug.
"Minseok, I have to. They won't let me perform here if I'm pregnant."
"Then come back to EXO. To me."
"No. They won't accept me back there." I pushed him away. The world around me started falling away, until..........
I woke up, panting heavily. How......how much was a dream? What was real?
