Cruel World

Run away

My legs hurt, my lungs burned, I felt alone but I have to keep going. I have to get away.

I turn the corner of the alley and trip over some trash cans. Shit. I scramble towards the lights of the street. I turn around and I see the silhouette of the man. I struggle to stand up but I make it up and away.

I'm almost to the lighted street. I glance behind me and run straight into a hard chest.

I stumble backward, panting heavily.

This is it. The end. I've been cornered.

"Hey, are you okay?"

I look up through my strands of hair. A group of boys stood in front of me, concern in their eyes.

"Help me." I say before letting darkness cloud my vision.

Bts pov-

We laugh together as we walk back to the dorms from dinner. Suddenly, we hear a crash coming from down the alley. Taehyung stops walking.

"Come on, hyung. It's probably just a cat," Jungkook says when he realizes that Tae stopped.

Then, Taehyung sees someone struggle to rise. They dash forward right into him. It's a woman. She falls back and stands there.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asks as the boys walk back to him.

She looks up at us. "Help me," she says before fainting into Taehyung's arms.

We take her back to the dorms so we can figure out what to do.

"Who is she?" Hoseok asks.

Yoongi puts a hand on his shoulder, "don't ask stupid questions."

"What should we do with her?" Seokjin asks.

"I don't know," Namjoon answers. "I think we should wait until she wakes up."

Just then, she stirs on the couch and her eyes flutter open. Taehyung crouches down next to her, "hey there, how do you feel?"

The girl shoots up. "Can't stay. Not safe. Got to go. Not safe," she says, hysterically.

"woah, shh, it's okay. Calm down, breathe. You're safe now." Taehyung gently lays her back down on to the couch.

"I gotta go..." she tries to protest as Taehyung shushes her. "They're gonna, they're gonna find me."

"Who is?" Namjoon asks.

"The evil- the evil people." she stutters out and then she bursts into tears.

"Oh, hey. It's okay. You're safe now," Taehyung wraps his arms around her, a few of the others do their best to comfort the girl as well. "My name's Taehyung and these are my brothers, Jungkook, Jimin, Yoongi, Seokjin, Namjoon and Hoseok."

She still looks around, panicky, "I-"

Seokjin lays his hand on her head, "We're here if you need to talk but for now rest." She looks up at him through glossy eyes before relaxing into Taehyung and Hoseok's arms. In just a few minutes she falls asleep again.

"What have we gotten ourselves into," Yoongi asks.
