~Elise's POV~

I wake up in my bed, wondering how I even got here. It's been fifteen days, four hours and nineteen minutes since I last saw Seung Hyun. Yes, I know it sounds extremely obsessive but when you're in love with someone they're all you can think about.

I tried to message him but it's useless. He won't answer. A rush of  memories flash through my head as I get up from my messy-looking mattress and walk to the shower. The way his face looked when he began running from me. The way his body shook when he spoke. It all makes me want to cry.

I look at my reflection in the mirror. My hair is messy, my makeup runny and my eyes extremely puffy. Seven years ago if you told me I would be crying over a guy I would have laughed myself to death. I snatch up a comb and hop into the shower. "Why didn't I sleep with my hair tied, all these knots," I murmur to myself as I forcefully run the comb through my dark black hair.

After 20 agonizing minutes in the shower, I step out and get dressed.

I drag myself downstairs and pick up the keys to my car then twirl them around my fingers. "Morning." Evan says from in front of the television.

"Morning, is dad gone?" I ask him as I look down at my phone. Zero missed calls.

"Yeah."

I dial Seung Hyun's number and put the phone up to my ear.

RrrringRrrrring

"Sorry, the number you have dialed-" I clench the phone tightly and sit down at the table. My mom walks in, smiling as she usually does. She has her hair up in a bun, her face painted with light makeup that consists of bright red lipstick and mascara.

"Hey honey, want some eggs before I go to work?"

I sit there staring into space, oblivious of what she said. "Elise, you okay sweetie?"

Again, oblivious of her words, I stand up and grab my keys which I had set down next to me. "Elise!" She screams but I keep walking.

This time cold winter air couldn't stop me. I just need to get away.

I open the front door and slam it shut behind me. I didn't even bother getting in my car. I just walk and walk until I suddenly stop in my place. I see Seung Hyun walking with another girl. He has his arm wrapped around her shoulder with her arm wrapped around his waist. I get a feeling like there's a lump in my throat, almost like right after you swallow a big pill. He stops walking and looks back at me, dark circles under his eyes suggesting that he hasn't been sleeping. I tilt my head down, avoiding his saddened glare. "Oppa, who's that?" The girl says while glancing back at me, then right back at him. She's gorgeous, probably a little shorter than me and Asian. Her hair falls to her waist. She's Seung Hyun's coat and jeans. No wonder why he picked her, she's everything I'm not. The girl looks up at him and holds his face in her hands. "Oppa why is your face so pale? You can't meet my parents looking like that!" She squeals with a small frown.

Suddenly without any warning my breathing gets heavy and my head begins to spin. I feel like I'm going to pass out, but I have to get away from here. I rush away in the opposite direction in attempt to calm myself down, but that doesn't help. I enter the nearest restaurant and crouch down on the floor before everything suddenly turns white. I feel my throat closing up and it's slowly getting harder and harder to breathe. My eyelids slowly drag down until suddenly my vision goes black.

"Ma'am? Ma'am are you okay!" A voice yells as they move closer to me. My hearing begins to go weak.

Suddenly I feel a strong man pick me up in his arms. The smell of Calvin Klein cologne swirls through the air. I know who's scent that is. "Seung Hyun?" I weakly whimper before completely blacking out in the stranger's arms.

After what feels like eternity I slowly blink my eyes open to see a brightly lit room with nurses standing over me. One tries putting an oxygen mask over me but I move my face. Another tries to inject me with a needle but I push her away. "Her heart is unstable!" She yells as she look over at the monitor. I try to stand up but am only pushed back down on the bed. "She's losing a pulse." "She needs to go to ICU."

 I feel my bed being moved through halls, rushed in an impatient manner. But for some reason I just can't move my body

I finally wake up and see the doctor walk in through the doorway. Once my eyes adjust to the light I glance to my sides and see Jesse. I try sitting up but he stops me. "Lay down."

"Lookie lookie, someone's finally up after two whole days." The doctor says as he grabs my chart from the end of the bed. He taps his pen against the plastic board. "What?" I croak, my voice sounding hoarse and sleepy. "You had a combination of anxiety and extreme depression. Have you been eating?" He asks me, placing the clipboard back down. I shake my head 'yes'. "Last time you ate?"

"Four days ago? Every time I eat it doesn't stay down." I look down at my lap nervously. "Can I asked what caused this?" I wiggle my thumbs and shut my eyes. "It's okay, you don't have to talk about it...for now at least."

"Jane, can you bring her some food and hook her up to an IV, in case she can't eat." The doctor says as he looks over to a red-headed nurse in her mid-thirties. Her bright red lipstick startles me. It's strangely brighter than the makeup on a psychotic clown.

My doctor stays in the room until he's sure I am completely okay. He exits the room as soon as the ginger nurse enters. "Elise, how are you feeling?"

"I feel fine, can I please leave now?" I ask impatiently. "You have to try and eat first. Then I'll check your body. Maybe then you can leave." I look down at the food she had brought me. Cinnamon oatmeal and toast. Gross. I spoon some of the grey coloured goop into my mouth, wincing as it touches my tongue. I try forcing it down, which works. Once I finish I buzz for the nurse. She walks in and smiles at my small accomplishment. Then she looks back at Jesse who is still sitting in the chair near my bed. "Excuse me, although you're her husband I'm going to need you to leave."

Did she just call him my husband? Oh god no! "Uh, he's not my husband." She looks at me and smiles. "Mmhmm..."

I roll my eyes as Jesse leaves the room, closing the door behind him. The nurse continues with all the procedures and when she's done, she gives me my normal clothes back.

"Okay you can leave now, you just need to check out in the front." I smile at her as she leaves the room and turns the corner. I gather all my things and change back into the familiar ripped jeans and t-shirt instead of the stupid paper dresses they give you. I open the door and walk towards the check out desk to get my papers.

AfterI finish signing my initials I eagerly walk out into the chilly streets of my home, New York City. I begin to walk house, watching my breath run from my lips with every breath I take. Then suddenly a car pulls up by my side. "Let me give you a ride." Jesse yells through the thick winter air. "No thanks."

"But I saved you, it's the least you can do since I payed for your hospital bill."

I stand still, staring at him before rolling my eyes and entering his car.

God I hate this boy.
