19: Strong

I looked at my friends like I was frozen and as if time stopped and I was helpless.
I saw the concerned look on Naeun's face and a yelling Jin whose mouth looked like it was about to engulf my head.

I was stuck sitting down, and looking up at them on the dirty floor of the school when Naeun slapped me and said, "What the hell is wrong you, go after her goddamnit."

I looked at her and my mind finally came together and I said, "I will... I will."

And Finally as I got up, I muttered to myself as I left the school, "I will."

I ran and almost tripped on the stairs of the school but my balance seemed better than usual as I dashed through as if nothing happened.

Where would Jiyeon go if she felt hurt? What's the best place for her to feel a little safer?

Think Park Jimin, think!

My mind was all over the place as I ran and finally reached the gates. My footsteps became louder and louder and I could hear my shoes graze the cement of the school walkway.

Instead of finding the answer, my mind went blank for a few moments until it finally came with an answer.

Jiyeon would go home when she felt this way. The answer was like a boost as my legs ran even faster. Much faster than I could imagine.

Maybe it was because I wanted to make sure she was okay. It was my mistake to ever leave her alone when I got the wrong idea of her actions.

I was her bestfriend, I should have been with her through thick and thin. Even if it meant that I didn't exactly know if she loved me the same way as I loved her.

Idiot, FREAKING IDIOT.

I ran as fast as my legs could take me when suddenly, I tripped on a jagged space on the sidewalk making me trip and use my hands to stop me from hitting my face on the ground. The impact grazed my palms and I hissed in pain as I stood up and looked at my hands.

I saw the convenience store that me and Jiyeon go to to maybe get something to patch up my palms but I saw Jiyeon's house not far off and suddenly the pain didn't even matter.

I clenched my fists and ran with a new surge of energy because I wanted to see her and my body instantly stopped as my foot finally landed on the step right in front of Jiyeon's house.

I looked at the same old mailbox in front of it and smiled. I'm gonna fix this.
I ran to the front door and turned the knob to find the house wasn't locked.

Her parents were nowhere to be found because they were at work. The house that was filled with so much happy memories suddenly felt to eerie.

It was also so silent. All I could hear were my steps until I heard loud cries coming from the second floor. It's got to be Jiyeon.

I quickly ran upstairs and head to Jiyeon's room and when I reached her front door and when I tried to open it, it was locked.

All I could hear were her loud cries so I tried knocking but she responded by yelling, "GO AWAY!"

"Jiyeon! It's me, Jimin! Open the door!", I said while knocking and she shrieked and said, "GO AWAY! I DON't want you here!"

"Please open it!", I said as I constantly turned the knob and knocked on her door. "You left me before, why can't you just leave now that I want you to!"

"It was a mistake Jiyeon! I love you! I didn't mean to leave you", I said as I continued to knock on the door and she yelled, "LIAR! You're just saying that so that I would open the door! You're a liar Park Jimin!"

"We're best friends! You said you'd never leave my side no matter what! But you left me! Then I had Jungkook but now he's gone too! I don't feel like living anymore!", she said as she cried loudly.

"WAIT NO JIYEON! DON't YOU DARE! OPEN THE DOOR! JIYEOOOONNN!", I screamed as I began to punch at the door hoping I could open it.

All I could hear were her loud cries engulfed by my yelling for me to open her bedroom door. I yelled and yelled until suddenly I couldn't hear her cry anymore.

"Jiyeon?", I said but there was no answer.

Oh god.

No, no no, no.

I began to ram my body into the door to force it open but it won't open. My eagerness to open the door brought me to punch the door until my fists bruised. I kept on trying to run into the door to make it open but even my strength was feeling like nothing at that point.

I ran downstairs and looked for something. Something to help me open her wooden bedroom door.

I then eyed the knife in the kitchen and I grabbed it and ran upstairs to her bedroom and started stabbing the door to make a hole for my hand to slip into.

I stabbed and stabbed until the wood break then I slipped my hands in which were small enough and I unlocked the door then I removed my hand and opened the door only to find Jiyeon's body lying lifeless on the floor.

I then saw a familiar wrapper near her. I picked it up and saw it was the Eros Chocolate. She somehow had it and she finished all of it.

"Oh god please", I said to myself as I ran to Jiyeon and I hugged her and tried to shake her.

"Come on Jiyeon, don't play games with me, wake up", I said as I desperately shook her but her body was limp and she wouldn't respond.

Her lips were purple and her skin was as white as paper. "PLEASE! WAKE UP!", I said as tears rushed down like waterfalls down my eyes.

"JIYEON!", I yelled at the top of my lungs but to no avail because she hung lifelessly on top of my arms.

I grabbed the phone on my pocket and called emergency services and her parents.

I hugged her as my tears stained her blouse and I said, "You can't die on me now, I didn't even get to ask you out."
I cried harder and kissed her forehead as I cradled her and I sung our favorite song in a broken voice.

I heard the sirens and in a flash the medics were in her room and took her from me and into the ambulance and I went with them. I sat in the ambulance as I watched them grab the defibrillator seeing that her heart wasn't beating as the vehicle drove to the hospital.

"3, 2, 1 clear!", one of the medics said as he placed the device on her chest but it was still a flatline.

They went another round and still it was a flatline.

I bit my fingernails as I stained my fingers with tears because I watched in horror knowing it was the last round.

"3, 2, 1 clear!", the medic said once more and finally a faint heartbeat came along and the other medics took care of her and one of them approached me and said, "Who are you to the patient?"

"I'm her friend, Jimin", I said and the medic put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Well Jimin, you're friend has a very weak heartbeat and once we get her stable in the hospital, the doctors will see what's wrong."

I nodded and the medic continued to say, "But right now, I need you to stay calm and stay strong for your friend."
