"Because that's what you did with me"
His words echoed in my mind while I was walking, I froze remembering the events four years ago.
The second day we met , was the first time we kissed. It was just us being foolish kids of course he can't seriously blame me for- but apart of the story was missing. A part of the story I couldn't bring myself to remember to protect myself.
I shook my head trashing the thought.
The garden, the scent of flowersFilling the air, moonlight, the feelings of hands intertwining, the late night breezes surrounding the thoughts as they drew closer.
Kick them out kick them out! I tried to repress from the memories returning.
I fell to the ground in the darkness of the night unable to move.
The dripping of water , drip drip drip
Footsteps following each other. Thump thump thump
Tears began filling my eyes as I grit my teeth trying to repress the memories that were trying to relive themselves.
"Lena" the echoing of whispers filled my ears.
"No!" I yelled out loud trying to move.
My vision became blacker as eventually I passed out.
"Lena. Lena?" A voice shook me awake.
I gasped and sat up quickly looking around. I must of passed out.
"Are you okay?" Ji sung's voice rendered in my ears.
"I'm fine sorry." I say standing but I fall due to my knees feeling weak , he catches me.
"You can't walk let me help you , you can stay with me tonight." He says helping me walk.
As soon as we enter inside my mind started having flashbacks. Bits of the things I didn't want to remember nor needed to.
Drip
Thump
Breathe
I gripped my side of my head falling to the floor again.
"Lena!!" Ji sung rushed over after closing the door to my side.
"I'm fine." I groaned out pushing him away.
"You're not , you need the doctor."
"No please , don't ." I said in a pleading voice.
"What's wrong?" He asks holding my shoulder.
"I just keep thinking things I don't want to."
He brings my head to his chest hugging me, his warm embrace making me feel better.
"Here. You need this." He hands me a cup of water.
"I think you should rest a few days, I can tell -"
"No it's fine." I interject. I didn't want him to tell his father, all I would do is stay in the storage room.
"You can sleep in here tonight, the room is too stuffy."
"But what if someone sees me?" I look around.
"I'll lock the doors for tonight I'd rather something not happen to you." Fixing the bed.
"I'll sleep in the other room-"
"You can sleep in here." I speak over him.
"In .. here?" He asks pointing down.
"Of course over there but yes." He nods.
"Are you sure! I don't want to make you uncomfortable about your face." He asks reassuringly.
