Down Fall...

Chapter 26

3 days later...

"Hey Hazel, are you ready yet?" Mae asks walking putting her ear rings in.

"One second." I say fixing my lip stick. I finish and walk out to the front door.

"I'm ready, let's go." I say pulling Mae along.

After a few drinks and some dancing I get a call.

"Hold on. I have to answer this." I say partly slurred. I answer the phone as I walk out.

"Hello?" I say.

"Hazel! Omg where are you?!" It's Ava.

"I'm with Mae, why?" I ask.

"Who's Mae? Hazel where are you? You've been gone for 3 days and no one has been able to get a hold of you." She sighs.

"Seungmin is worried sick and Chan found out I was staying here." She explains and my eyes water. An emotional drunk.

"Don't say his name." I say with tears.

"Are you crying? I'm going to come get you, where are you?" She asks and I hang up.

"You okay." Mae walks out asking me.

"I need another drink." I say walking past her.

I sit on the couch as I sip my drink. It burns my throat as it goes down but I've gotten used to it.

"Hazel you've been down ever since you've gotten that call. What's wrong?" She asks and I cry.

"I ran away from my friends. All my stuff is there but my ex is also there. His job was more important than me." I cry more and she hugs me.

"We can go and get your stuff tomorrow. You can stay with me as long as you need." She says and I nod.

"Thank you Mae." I say and she pats my head.

"Let's go dance." She says pulling my arm to the dance floor.

And for the next couple of weeks Ive stayed with Mae. We'd drink and party all night. Deal with hang overs in the morning and one day I was done with it.

"Hazel come on let's go dance~" Ryan whines. I've met a couple more people as well.

"Ryan go dance with Kang. I'm not feeling it tonight." I say and she pouts. She stomps off as I sip my drink. I'm still sober and that's a problem.

"Ryan said you were mean to her. What wrong?" Mae says sitting in the seat next to me.

"I just didn't want to dance, okay?" I spit.

"Fine. Then tell me why your so down?" She says and I roll my eyes.

"Don't act like you care." I raise my glass to my lips.

"Okay, see you at home then." She storms off.

"Hazel?" A voice says and I look around. My eye finally land on the figure.

"Jaebum." I say and I hug him.

"What are you doing here? I didn't know you drink." He says sitting in the chair next to me.

"I don't." I say, my mood falling again.

"Then what are you doing here?" He asks.

"I'm staying with this girl who party's all the time. I haven't been sober in days." I retort taking a sip.

"Hazel, your 19. You shouldn't be here. Look I heard what happened to you. Let's get you out of here." He says.

"And go where? I don't have any family here. I've pissed off all my friends." I say and he take the drink from my hand before it reaches my mouth.

"I'm taking you to get your things from where ever they are and your going to talk to jyp about getting your job back." He says and I look at him.

"You have a choice. Stay here and drink your life away, get a plane ticket and fly home, or become a solo artist and get your life back on track." He says looking at me waiting my answer.

"Any specific order?" I ask and he rolls his eyes.

"Let's go." He grabs my arm pulling me away from the crowd building. JB was an older brother to me when I was a trainee and I haven't seen him since.

We drive to Maes and I use my key to open the door. I pack my things and carry it back to his car. Then we drive to the company.

"What if he says no?" I ask, scared of what could happen.

"You can stay with me until I get you your plane ticket to fly you home." He says and I gulp. What would I tell my mom if I went home. All her money and my hard work gone to waste.

I sit in silence as we pull into a parking spot. We step out and walk inside. We go up to the top floor and walk to his office.

I knock on the door before opening it.

"Jyp sir, can I speak with you?" I say walking in. I play with the hem of my shirt.

"Hazel, I thought you were back in America? What can I do for you?" He asks.

"I'm sorry but I'm desperate. And would it be to late to become a solo artist?" I ask looking up trying to be strong when deep down I'm petrified.

"Now you want to?" He asks and I freeze.

"Yes, I would." I say and he shrugs.

"Okay. With your talent I will allow you back into the company. I'll have a dorm set up for you tomorrow and you know where your studio is." He says going back to his paper work on his desk.

"Thank you. You won't regret it sir." I say walking out.

"How'd it go?" Jb asks pushing off the wall he was leaning on.

"Do you wanna come see my studio?" I ask and he hugs me.

"I should head back." He says and I nod.

"I'm going to stay in my studio until I get my dorm tomorrow so let me grab my things." I say and follow him down.
