You stare up at the dark ceiling of the main room and sigh deeply, shuffling on the couch that Hoseok and Yoongi had put you on. Your mind was racing at a billion miles an our as you laid there, wondering about so many things and cursing yourself for so many more. There was a lot you still had to learn about yourself, the boy, the people after you and the world outside the safe house walls and yet, you knew nothing. You feel a small, warm tear pour down your cheek and immediately cover your face with your hands as more followed.

So much had happened so quickly and your mind couldn't take it all in. You cursed yourself over and over for being the cause of your mom's death and Taehyung's. You yelled internally at yourself for getting so many people killed back at the safe-house. You wonder if anything could ever be alright.

What if I left?

You sit up slowly and glance towards the hallway, considering the possibility of leaving the house and the boys. They'd be safe now but you'd be a walking target without any way to defend yourself. All your known relatives were dead now- your dad, your mom, your grandma and granddad. You could make it work though. You just keep running and never stop. Get an apartment somewhere dodgy, get a tiny job and get enough money to get out of the country. You don't have any luggage to run around with which makes it twice as easy.

I'll leave. Right now.

You gulp softly as you stand up and walk towards the door, preparing yourself to run as fast as you could. As you lay your hand on the door, you remind yourself over and over that everyone will be safe. Taehyung will be safe if the boys can find him. No one will be in danger because of you. You look down at your hand and will a small fire to start in your palm and to your suprise, it does. Maybe you can protect yourself. You take a deep breath and turn the key slowly before yanking open the door and glancing back into the house. Just as you look back, Yoongi stumbles out of a doorway, closely followed by Hoseok and someone else.

"Oh my god, is that Taehyung?" You blurt out as realisation hits you, your eyes widening as Taehyung lifts his golden head up to look at you. You close the door and lock it as quickly as you could before sprinting over to Taehyung and pulling him into a hug, tears streaming rapidly down your face. "What happened? I saw you die! Your different, Tae... what happened?" You sob into his chest as you hold him tightly around the waist. Taehyung stood frozen, not hugging you back and not saying anything.

"Y/N, I think Taehyung needs some rest." Hoseok sighs softly as he puts a hand on your shoulder. You frown and slowly pull away from Taehyung with a deep frown, searching his blank face while he looked at anywhere but you. "Come on, go back to the couch and we will talk while Yoongi takes him to his room." Hoseok whispers softly as he puts an arm around you and slowly drags you towards the couch.

"No, stop. What's wrong with him? Why won't he talk to me or even look at me?" You grumble as you pull out of Hoseok's grip and rush up to Taehyung once more. Reluctantly, you put your hands on his cheeks and bring his face down so he has no choice but to look at you.

"Y/N, please leave me alone. I'm bad. Your family would hurt someone like me- there's no reason why you should be any different. I can't be with you like this." Taehyung whispers as tears fill his eyes and his voice shakes. You stare up at him and shake your head quickly as you continue to hold his face.

"You're not bad, Tae. You could never be bad. You don't have a bad bone in your whole body." You beg him softly as you fight back tears of your own. Taehyung shakes his head and gently takes your hands off his face with a deep sigh. "Don't be like this to me, please." You whisper as a tear rolls down your cheek. Taehyung turns away and slowly begins to walk towards the stairs with Yoongi supporting him.

Your mind went blank as your heart shattered into a thousand pieces. Your tears began to flood faster then ever before as Hoseok wraps his arms around you and hushes you softly. Then your mind clears suddenly and the tears pause. You slowly wriggle out of Hoseoks grip and move towards the door, determined to finish what you started.

"Y/N, don't leave. You can't-" Hoseok starts as he watched you slowly unlock the door and turn the handle. You let out a long, shaky breath as you glance back at Hoseok before tanking the door open and sprinting onto the street. "Guys, Y/N just ran! She left the house!" Hoseok screams as he runs up the stairs to wake everyone up, banging on each door as he passed.

The second Taehyung heard, he looked at Yoongi with a deep frown and then at the nearby window. Yoongi started to tell him not to dare but it was too late. Taehyung leaked out of the window and prayed that these new wings would work.
