Witching Hour

Chapter 6- Why would anyone love me?

Taehyung's words hit me hard. I have always wondered why anyone would love me. What was it about me? I wasn't pretty, I wasn't smart, and I wear large clothes. I wasn't skinny, I had a muffin top, and I had thick legs. I looked down at the shrubbery around us as I thought about what he had said.

"Rachel are you okay?" He asked

"Uh..." I started, "Let's get back to the party."

"Rachel." Taehyung said his voice sad.

I walked ahead and was back in town before he was. I hurried along and headed toward N and the rest of the gang. I waved goodbye to the House of Fire and Taehyung as we, the House of Dark Skies- except Bam-Bam- and the House of Scarlet Red left the party. Yugyeom and Youngjae were talking to me but I barely heard them. When Yugyeom finally asked me a question and I didn't respond Jinyoung bumped my arm.

"Sorry what were you saying?" I asked

"I was asking how you knew Taehyung." Yugyeom said

"Oh, when I first arrived I stayed at their house." I said

"Then why didn't you go back?" Youngjae asked

"Because..." I started.

"Let her be." JB said, "She's been thinking."

"Thinking?" Yugyeom asked

"Yes." Jinyoung said, "Leave her be."

All of the members of the House of Dark Skies herded to the left going around the corner to their estate while the rest of us headed inside. Takuya held the door and we shuffled in. I headed straight toward my room without a word.

"Rachel, get back here." N called

"I'm tired." I said, "I would like to go to bed."

"Takuya." I heard N say, "Go talk to her."

"I heard that, I don't want to talk." I said, "Good night."

I closed my door and plunged onto my bed. My head was in a tizzy I tossed and turned trying to figure out what he meant. I planted my face into the pillow when a knock came to the door. I shot up.

"Yes." I said

"Hello Rachel." The voice said, "Can I come in?"

"Yes." I said

"Hey." Leo said entering.

"What's up Leo?" I asked

"Can we talk?" He asked

"Sure what about?" I asked as Leo sat in the chair beside the bed

"About Taehyung." He said

"Uh." I started

"Rachel do you care for him?" He asked

"Yes." I said

"Does he care about you?" He asked

"Uh, yes." I said looking away from him

"So that's what's bothering you." Leo said, "Ken come in I know your there."

"Ken!" I said as the door opened.

"Hey." Said Ken as he stood in the corner.

"What's this all about?" I asked

"Taehyung said something and now you are fretting about it." Ken said

"What do you mean?" I asked
