Destined To Meet

Everything's Okay

The alarm sounded waking you from your slumber. Rolling over you grabbed your cellphone from your nightstand and checked the time, 4:35 a.m it read. You sighed and layed the phone on your chest and rested your eyes for a few moments. After about 5 mins you get up and out of bed and shower. You dreaded going to school but convinced yourself to go anyway.
Making your way to the shower you receive a text, It was from Shownu your current boyfriend. You sighed. You didn't want to answer. To everyone you two seemed like the perfect couple but behind closed doors he was different. He was controlling, manipulative, abusive. You couldn't do anything without getting his permission, even if it was going to the store. You sigh and look at the message,
"Hey, meet me after school in the parking lot"
You didn't answer and proceeded to shower. The phone kept ringing with texts and calls. You continued to ignore the ringing letting the water pour over you trying to drown out your thoughts. Your phone went off again but the sound was different, it was your alarm. You snapped back to reality and looked at your phone then finished up your shower. Getting out you wrapped yourself in a towel and dismissed your alarm. You looked at the time, it was 5:03a.m, with that you headed back to your room and got dressed. As you sat at your vanity brushing your hair you glances over at the picture of you and Shownu. It hurt to look at it, the care in his eyes hid insanity. It was only a month ago when you found out what type of person he actually was, it was hard for you to continue on as if he changed. You continued to hope that he wouldn't harm you or possibly worse. That thought stayed at the back of you head but still apparent. You sat for a moment looking at your reflection, noticing the few bruises you had. You sighed to yourself as you reach for your makeup case. You can't let anyone see the truth. You need to protect yourself as much as you can. The more you thought about him the more you dreaded going to school. You sighed and did your makeup. Your phone buzzed again, you glanced at it. It was Shownu again. "WHAT THE HELL Y/N WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING MY TEXTS OR CALLS?!?!!"
You sighed and answered him.
"I was taking a shower, im sorry"
He didn't seem to believe you but he let it slide.
"Your going to meet me in the parking lot after school and if you don't you know what will happen."
You froze as reality struck you, you had to make sure you listened to him. You more than anything wanted to keep yourself safe. You went over to your night stand and pulled open the bottom drawer revealing an old book. You picked up the book and opened it. The pages were dug out to hide something. That something was a knife your brother had given you on a hiking trip. You took the knife and tucked it under your shirt. You grabbed your bag and earbuds and headed to the bus stop. You didn't want to take the chance of driving and letting your emotions get in the way. You wait for about 10 mins for your bus to arrive. You got on and all you saw was immature kids. You made your way to the back of the bus to an open seat you spotted. After getting pushed around a bit since people didn't seem to know how to sit down and behave, you sat down and put your earbuds in. You rested your head against the window and thought to yourself how you were going escape his abuse while not getting hurt yourself. It wasn't going to be easy but you needed to get out of this relationship with him.  You pulled out your phone and texted your best friend San who was friends with Shownu.  
"Hey San, I need your help with something, meet me in the cafeteria?"  He responded almost instantly,
"Are you okay? did something happen?!"
You wait for a minute before answering him.
"Something has been happening for awhile but I'll explain more in person"
"Alright Ill see you in 10"
"okay see you soon".
You put your phone away and waited turning your music up. 10 minutes passed and you arrived at school. You texted San
"hey I just got to school, I'll be there soon." 
He replied quickly after.
" Hey, I'm sitting with Wooyoung it the back corner table."  
You didn't reply and headed straight there scanning the areas making sure Shownu wasn't around. You remembered that he's always late to school witch gave you some relief but you still had to have your guard up. You got to the cafeteria and you spotted San and Wooyoung, so you made your way quickly over to them and sat down next to San. He looked over to you,
"hey y/n what's going on?"
You looked at him and pulled up you sleeve to reveal multiple bruises. He looked very concerned and put his hand on your shoulder,
"What happened!?, who did this to you?! "
You could tell by the sound of his voice he was very worried about you. You sighed and looked at him.
"You can't tell anyone and you can't confront who it is." You paused and took a breath.
"It's Shownu, he's the cause of this." The look San gave, you could tell he was pissed.
"Are you serious, this is what he has been doing to you behind closed doors!!??" He paused "I never in all the years I've know him, I never thought he would do this, to anyone especially his partner."
You put your head down as every emotion you has been holding in came out, you began to cry. You were defeated, you didn't know what to do, you wanted to give up. San noticed that you were crying and pulled you into a hug. It was the best hug you've gotten since agreeing to go out with Shownu. You hugged him back and nuzzled your head into his shoulder and let it all out has he held you and rubbed circles on your back. You felt safe in his arms, safer than you ever felt in a while.
