In the bathroom,

Okay, pfft. Just breathe. *inhales/exhales*

He can't get me in here, I'm safe.

"Y/n?" I hear someone call..

They walk in, so I run into a stall.

I hear the sound of boots stomping against the floor, slowly, and eerily.

They stop in front of my stall.

"Y/nnnnn" they begin to say in a sing-like tone.

The door opens. Dammit. I thought I locked it.

"There you are.." James says, grabbing my wrists.
"You put me in jail? I thought we were in love.."

"No, we weren't-" he slaps me.

I freeze as he pulls me into him.

"I spent every second from when I was released trying to find you. We don't want more problems, do we?"

I shake my head no.

"Good, then you're gonna do as I say, give me your number."

I type in my number, being use to following his orders right away.

"Good girl. Now, I'm going to go, and if I find out you told anyone.. well... let's say it won't be pretty for you." He says, smirking.

He walks out of the stall, then grabs his bags, and exits the bathroom.

WHY! I think to myself. WHY DID I JUST STAND THERE! I COULD OF DONE SOMETHING, BUT INSTEAD I WUSS OUT AND LISTEN TO HIS COMMANDS. Just like before.

As I walk back to the group, I realize that I'm a mess. I stop at a nearby window, using my reflection to fix myself up.

When I look decent enough, I walk back to the boys.

Just then, Alvaro and Roshaun's flight was called...

"Y/n! There you are! You almost missed it!"

"I know sorry, I couldn't find the bathroom.." I lie, in a low tone.

Alvaro and Roshaun say goodbye to us, stopping real quick for a clip in Alvaro's Tiktok, but then started to walk away again.

Tears begin to drop from my eyes, mostly because of the knowledge of knowing James was back in my life.

"Y/n, you ready?" Kai asks me, as everyone begins to walk to the car.

I just nod my head and head over with them.

-in the car-

I was sitting on Mattia's lap again, only feeling worse because of James.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts, as one of the guys call me "y/n?"

"Huh? Sorry, I zoned out."

"We were trying to figure out where to eat, do you have an idea?"

Just then, I get a text.

Message: Unknown Number

Unknown: Meet me at the park in 20mins, SweetPea.

Oh God. I know that nickname from anywhere. James.

I reply back, saying okay.

"Actually, you guys, I think Imma go home. I'm feeling a little tired." I say, as I turn off my phone and look around, everyone is nods and engages in a conversation, except for Mattia..

I look at him, a look of sadness written all over it.

"Wh- who was that?" He whispers.

"Oh, no one. Just a friend." I say, a small smile forming on my lips.

I want to tell him. No, I wanna tell Kai. He's my bestfriend. Plus, I'm suppose to let Mattia go, remember? He's talking to Taylor.

"Pinto, do you think you could drop me off at home."

"Yea, I'll head straight there."

-10 minutes later-

"Thanks," I say, as I get out of the car and close the door, speaking to them through the window.

"No problem."

"Want me to come with you?" Kai asks.

I just shake my head no, before waving to them, seeing a frowning Mattia as they drive away.

I look at the driveway, to see no one was home, so I head into the house, bursting out in tears.

I head up to my room and cry. Why? Why me?

I check the time, guess it's time to go to the park...
