7:15 pm

I'm not going to lie, I've been depressed for the past few hours. Ever since that moment at the lake I can't seem to get happy.

When he walked away, I felt a part of me break. I just stood there, in complete and utter shock for a solid minute before I had collapsed into tears.

Now I'm here, close to four hours later in the school courtyard under the old oak tree where we used to eat our lunches...

I sighed and let my head fall as I recalled the happy memories that the two of us had over the past four years- memories that once brought me joy, now all that they bring is regret.

I could have been stronger. I clenched a fist so tight my knuckles were white. I could have been stronger for him. Maybe it would have all been different.

Images started flashing through my head- all of the girls and boys that flirted with him but he turned down. How they kept clinging to him...even when we were together. How he turned them down because of me.

I felt an ugly rage build up in me as I took my fist and slammed it into the tree behind me, it left a dent in the heart that sat just behind me to my left. I stood up and stuffed my hands in my hoodie pocket as I made my way over to the school gate.

On my way out I bumped into a girl. "Sorry," I mumbled and as I turned around and locked eyes with Eliza, the girl who clung to Tae the most.

She never left him alone. He would tell her to kindly fuck off but she never listened. She lied to get pity from him and to get close to him. She would have hurt him if I wasn't there...

I faked a smile and quickly bowed. "Sorry Eliza, didn't see you there."

She laughed it off with a fake ass smile. "It's okay, I wasn't paying attention." She wants something. "Can I ask you where Taehyung is?"

"Why do you want to know?" I tried to come off as curious, not furious.

"I lent him one of my History books and I need it back." She flipped through her phone for a minute before sliding it back into her purse.

I forced another smile. "Sure! Follow me to his house, it's not that far from here." I motioned for her to follow me as I left the school grounds, the sound of her heels clicking against the cement close behind me.

As we quickly approached Tae's house, I took a quick glance at it and walked right past it. "C'mon, we're almost there." I sped up the pace a little bit, just below a power-walk. 

We stepped up the stairs to my front porch and I opened the front door for her. "Ladies first." I motioned for her to go inside and she gladly stepped in. I followed close behind, shutting the door and locking it behind us. 

"You can sit right on the couch over there, I'll see if he's upstairs," I smirked to myself as I silently locked the door. Good thing dad had that business trip, and that mom never lets him go alone...this would have been awkward to explain...

I made my way upstairs and took a sharp right and stepped into my bedroom. I made my way over to the dresser drawer and slowly slid it open. The silver blade of the knife that rested inside the drawer shone brightly in the moonlight.

I picked it up and gently slid the small knife into my back pocket as I made my way downstairs. As I reached the bottom of the stairs I saw the black haired girl sitting on the sofa staring at the TV. "I think he might be out for the night, I couldn't find him in his room," I said as I quietly stepped behind the sofa. "He might be back in a few hours if you'd like to stay..." I offered as I positioned myself right behind her.

"Really? You think he wouldn't mind me staying here?" She turned her head slightly, never breaking eye-contact with the television.

"Of course." A devilish grin spread across my face as I thought about having Taehyung to myself...Then I remembered that he was no longer mine...He let me go...

A surge of adrenaline and pure rage was sent coursing through my veins as I thought of someone else having MY Taehyung. Someone else HURTING my Taehyung.

Without even realizing it, I had slipped the knife out from my back pocket and was now holding it in my right hand with a grip that would probably break someone's hand.

Then one voice shouted over the one telling me to sink the knife right into her soft flesh. What about Taehyung.

I collapsed on the floor with a thud and dropped the knife. I burst into tears, which earned a shocked Eliza jumping up from the couch and backing up. "Jungkook what the hell?!" She screamed at me. 

"I-I'm sorry!" I cried out. "I only wanted to protect him!" I took a glance at the knife and picked it up into my hand. I stood up and looked her straight in the eye. "I was going to use this to kill you. I'm going to throw this out the window and you're going to run, but not a word said alright?" 

She was speechless, and so was I. I was visibly shaking and clearly terrified. Nobody moved for a solid minute or two. I took the knife in my hand and threw it over in the direction of the front door. "Run." Is all I said before turning and walking towards the kitchen, with my back to her. 

There's something I didn't know about Eliza.

I heard the clicking of her heels as she stumbled towards the door, but they stopped right before. I slowly turned to make sure she made it out but I was met with a sharp pain in my shoulder and a shriek from Eliza. "YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!" She pulled the knife from my shoulder and stepped back. 

She turned and bolted out the front door, leaving the knife right on the doorstep. I peeked at my shoulder and froze in horror. She had punctured an artery.

I tried to keep my heart rate down to lessen the bleeding, but that was impossible because I thought I was going to bleed to death. So I did something logical.

I stood up and stumbled out my front door with my arm covering the wound. I managed my way down the sidewalk and within sight of Taehyung's house.

"TAEHYUNG! HELP ME!" I screamed into the night. "SOMEBODY HELP ME! PLEASE!"

The front door to the Kim household flew open and two alphas sprinted out the door and froze at the edge of their driveway. "JUNGKOOK!" Taehyung shouted as he bolted towards me.

I felt dizzy. My limbs, weightless. Everything felt calm.

Then I felt the cold, hard concrete of the sidewalk against my face as I collapsed from blood loss.

The last thing I heard was Taehyung calling out my name from yards away.
