Jung kook dropped me off in the school car park as promised and there leant against the lamp post was RM looking like he was ready to take on the world. His confidence made me smile. Suddenly my smile turned to shock when I saw Jimin standing next to him, for once Jimin was early.
I laughed, Jimin and early should never be in the same sentence. Jung kook noticing my glance nodded at RM who nodded back with respect,but upon seeing Jimin, who was now being his weird self again, frowned. "friend of yours?"
"Jimin, uh yeah. He's cool."
"remember what I said this morning Zoe."
I looked at him, hoping he wasn't going to say those bone chilling words again. I was wrong.
"friends Stay friends."
Something in the ice cold tone Jung kook said those words made me scared. I could understand if he was being protective, but something didn't feel right. What did he know that I didn't? I nodded at him and got out of the car, but half way through the car park I turned and looked at him.

What are you hiding Jung kook? Suddenly a hand on my shoulder startled me. "Zoe?" It was RM, who had crossed the car park to see why I had froze so drastically in the middle of the road. I shrugged his hand off and began walking back towards Jimin without a word. The look in Jung Kook's eyes still echoing in my mind

and those words friends Stay friends. What did they mean?
I tried to ignore them the best I could through first lesson and second,but by third period I was dying to find out what he meant by what he had said twice that morning. Jung kook wasn't the type to say things without meaning, but what was the meaning? What was he hiding? And why from me was he hiding it?
RM who had been watching me for three lessons with an unchanged look of concern, finally spoke. However, these were not words I wanted to hear.
"you're scared." My head snapped up to look at him, crap, how did he know. Truthful I was petrified of what I didn't know, what Jung kook was so adamant in keeping me from knowing.
"I-I..." I stuttered hopelessly, why was Jung kook being so cold? How could RM literally know exactly how I felt? What was going on with me? Why now had my illness gotten worse? Tears began to stream down my cheeks as I cried, startling RM. he tried to put a hand on my arm to steady me but I didn't want his help. I pushed him away and ran past him, heading for the main door to the school. I could feel my legs trembling as I ran, but I couldn't stop. Even as I heard RM running after me I couldn't stop,even as the main road appeared I didn't stop. "Zoe!!!" RM calling my name hurt so much, I stopped half way across the crossing and looked back not noticing the on going traffic. RM didn't stop running, I tilted my head to the side just as RM reached me. I looked left to see the car heading towards us, going too fast, there was no time. Suddenly my body was pushed onto the pavement as an awful cracking sound filled the air.
RM had been hit.
He'd pushed me onto the opposite side of the road to prevent me from being injured and got hit himself. I wasted no time in calling 999 and Jung kook. As soon as both parties had arrived, RM was lifted up onto a type of bed, the ones they put you in to go to the hospital. Just as his body hit the surface of the stretcher, a shiny item hit the floor. The drop of a blade.

Suddenly, the blooded jacket made sense. In that moment, nothing and no one could stop my tears from falling.
