-----------------------

Jimin just stood there staring at me.

"wait here. I'll get Jungkook and we'll come with you."

As he turned to walk away I grabbed his arm to stop him.

"No Jimin."

I glanced down at my hand that had his ring on it.

I pulled my hand back and examined it.

Tears started streaming down my face as I looked back up at him.

"Jimin, I love you more than anything in the world, but I have to do this alone. If you got hurt or put into Jail I'd die...because right now you're all I have and I can't lose you. You're the only thing in my life that matters now, but I'm not the only thing that matters in yours. You have the gang and a sister and even parents somewhere. I don't. You have things to live for. And it's not like you won't be able to find someone else and get over me."

I looked at him and handed him the ring after I slid it off my finger. Tears started forming in his eyes.

"I can't let you get hurt because of me...because I love you. And this is goodbye...forever."

He just stood there shaking his head no as tears ran down both of our faces.

I took a step towards him and hugged him.

As he wrapped his arms arms around me I started crying harder because I never wanted him to let go.

I was doing this to protect him and his chance at life, so it was the right thing to do.

All of a sudden we heard Jungkook's voice. "What's going on over here."

I broke away from Jimin and walked over to Jungkook. "I'm leaving."

"We'll aren't we coming with you?"

I just shook my head no.

Jungkook understood why immediately and stretched his arms out for me to hug him, so I did.

As I hugged him he whispered into my ear "I still love you, and when this is all over I'll find you. Just call me and I'll ditch Jimin and come for you. We used to have something and I know it's still there.." He squeezed my butt ... "Somewhere."

I pushed away from him after that. Same old Jungkook.

Jimin walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Please don't go. Please...this is crazy. I can protect you and myself. Please let me come with you."

I took a deep breath. "Fine. I'll wait here in the waiting room, while you and Jungkook go get Jin's things."

"Yes!" Jimin said as he picked me up and kissed me. "Alright stay right here."

The two of them walked away and left me in the waiting room.

It was better to leave Jimin smiling anyway...it'd be an easier memory to deal with.

I set my cell phone on the table next to me and walked to the front entrance. Once outside the hospital I ran until I was blocks away. Now the only things Jimin and Jungkook would find would be my phone and an empty seat.

It was better this way because if I get caught after I kill my brother's killer I'll go to jail alone and no one will have to worry about me.

Here's to heartbreak and freedom for as long as it will grace me with its presence.
