The Memories Seventy Four - What Have I Done

3rd person

Mia couldn't believe her eyes, her chest tightening, her breathing harsh and laboured. She crumbled, curled herself, paced back and forth in the small cubicle, but the desire to ease the pain, every gasp for oxygen only intensifies the crushing weight that hindered her heart from beating. She tried holding her breath, lying to herself that it will make the pain in her heart go away, but nothing can make it stop. She was spent, her feelings played with over and over. Like a clockwork that has exhausted its energy from overuse, she gave in to it, just letting her body fall to the ground, numb and thoughtless.

Everything spiraled uncontrollably. The wonderful night twisted into something unexpected... Something she knew would happen eventually that she was never prepared for.

She strode carefully to avoid attention and prevent Yoongi from finding her, went to her friends to bid them goodnight, yearning for the comfort of solitude in her home, but as she came closer to Cara and Stacey, she broke down, unable to speak. Uncontrollable sobs took over after she begged to be taken home, which they obliged without forcing Mia to tell them why.

Taehyung, who happened to be within earshot, noticed the distress in the girls' faces, and so when he caught sight of Mia's puffy eyes, he did not ask, didn't think twice to offer to give them a ride home. Judging the body language, the fear in her eyes, he suspected another attack, another lurking spirit who disturbed his friend, and so he agreed without questions to take her away. Stacey volunteered to stay behind and find Yoongi.

In the safety of Taehyung's car, Mia had calmed but her tears were endless, and no matter how persistent Cara was in coaxing her to tell them what's wrong, she wouldn't budge, only buried her face in her friend's hair.

"Does Yoongi know what happened?" he asked. Mia only cried louder. And he figured it wasn't a ghost problem.

Ugh, what have you done, Yoongi... He thought to himself.

Once they arrived at her home, she hugged them both and thanked them, urging them to go back to the party.

But when Yoongi's vehicle suddenly pulled over with a hard jerk, Mia apologized to them and hurried inside the house and locked the front door.

"Yoongi, what happened?"

Yoongi leaned on Taehyung shoulder to catch his breath, but it wasn't because of the physical exertion. Hurting Mia was the last thing he ever wanted to do, and yet he managed to do so. But if only she would let him explain, things will get back in order.

"I need to talk to her first. I'll explain later. Thanks for driving her home, Taehyung."

The younger male nodded, "No sweat, bro. But whatever it is, fix it."

Mia curled into a ball against her bedroom door, her head resting on her arms around her knees. Migi could only sit in front of her, clueless on how to console his crying mom. He tried rubbing himself on her, but she remained motionless.

The memory from earlier kept replaying inside her head...

~~~

A beautiful girl wearing bloody red dress that hugged her figure perfectly approached Mia as she washed her hands by the sink. She had the last piece of paper towel in her hand and offered it to her, which she took gratefully.

"You think he will ever take you seriously? Take my advice, little girl. Stay away from him if you don't want to end up like me. He will never get over Emily."

Mia was taken aback by the assault of words. She tried to remain calm, and retaliated in the most gentle way. "You don't know him."

"And you do? You just met him at the start of terms. And you clearly have no idea how he is with girls. It's all just for show, to make you believe he loves you, but in reality it's his way to get into your pants. It's all a game for him, sweetie, and you're no exception. And when the curtain drops down, Yoongi will never hesitate to drop you and replace you. He will never love you." She looked at Mia from head to toe, then left without another word.
