Don't leave me

Part 18

-Taehyung-

No air. Help me. Please. Someone. The burning in my lungs felt like the fire that caused me to sweat and cough. I couldn't breathe. I felt the smoke itself burning my lungs worse than any fire as orange and blue attacked my vision it seemed. I tried to crawl away from my position but was unable to since the bed had caved  in and fell on my ankle. The pain erupted in my body as I continued to become dizzy. My vision came in and out while I tried to force my way away from the beds grip and away from the fire that jumped at me to take a bite. Wait. Why was I fighting? I had wanted to die anyway, so why....Was I trying to escape? I coughed very hard and fell to the ground, to weak to fight it anymore. "Please...Jungkook...save me...again."  Why I was thinking this I'd never know. Though as if he heard my plea I saw Jungkook cover my body with his own and hiss in pain when the falling bit of ceiling hit him instead of me.

Jungkook- "Taehyung. Can you move?! We need to get out of here and fast."

I was seeing black dots, my air barely came but he was able to speak still though he was clearly having trouble. I assumed when he was hit he got burned. My voice barely came to me when I spoke barely over a whisper to him, this whisper was the entire  meaning of his saving me.

Taehyung- "No."

He looked at where the bed had fallen on my foot and he hurried to lift it off. Once I felt some of the pressure release I pulled myself away and he crawled over to me as I collapsed.

Jungkook- "Tae...You have to stay awake....Please. I am trying to save you. I can't do that without your help."

He pulled me away from a falling bit of something and the fire burned his hand which made him hiss. The black ash covered his face and bits of his skin. I forced myself to weakly crawl as close to the escape route as possible before I physically couldn't anymore and I passed out. I heard a whisper in my ear that I knew was Jungkook as he lightly leaned onto me to speak.

Jungkook- "You did well Taetae."

I slowly opened my eyes and no longer felt the heat. I heard a beeping and now was actually waking up, understanding where I was. I felt a light weight on my hand but didn't look over because I was to weak and tired. I closed my eyes once again until the pressure left my hand and I heard a light sigh and sniffle. The person was crying.

Jungkook- "Damn it Taehyung wake up already. It's been almost three months. I know I did wrong that night and you don't forgive me. Please wake up. I don't want you to die. That night...I wanted so badly to tell you what really happened. I've never loved Soo-Ah, I've always been in love with you. I did what I did that night to keep her alive and now she's in a place that will help her and you're here."

Taehyung- "You should have told me sooner."

He stood up so fast that the chair he'd been on fell to the floor and I slowly reopened my eyes, the light was pretty bright but I smiled at Jungkook because his hair was a bit longer now. It looked good that way."

Jungkook- "You're awake...Holy shit."

Taehyung- "How long has it really been?"

He sat on the bed next to my hip.

Jungkook- "Almost three months. Someone lit Jimins house on fire while you were alone and someone called Jimins dad to tell him so he called the fire department then Jimin. We got there before the fire department did so I had to save you. The house collapsed not long after you did and right before the fire department got there so it was lucky we got out alive. They said you had a lot of smoke in your lungs and almost died but somehow your body slipped into a deep coma like sleep but you could wake up at any time so I went to school and came here. That's all Ive done for months now. I of course went home when needed."

I grabbed his hand and smiled. I couldn't do much but to try to make him smile.

Taehyung- "I remember seeing a girl running across the street before I fell asleep and when I woke up I saw the fire and when I got off the bed to run out the window the bed had collapsed onto my ankle."

He nodded and bit his lip. I wasn't sure if there was anything to tie together there but the bed had been fine before. Why did it fall when it had? Theres wasnt even a creak to it so how did it possibly fall? I sighed and squeezed his hand.

Jungkook- "You okay?"

I nodded and closed my eyes. I was so exhausted still. The doctor came in and Jungkook moved as the doctor came closer to check some things.

Doctor- "Mr. Kim. How are you feeling today? I can see you've just woken up. Are you having any pains?"

I shook my head no.

Doctor- "Thats good. That means you're successfully healed. You had a broken rib and ankle as well as internal bleeding. You're lucky thats all the fire did. You dont have any burns."

I nodded. Jungkook met my eyes and smiled at me. Once the doctor left Jungkook laid next to me and put his arm on my stomach while yawning.

Jungkook- "I'm glad to see your eyes open. I got so bored just looking at your eyelids. When the others came by they were always sad. Mostly Jimin. Jin would help them bathe you because he's your eomma. Namjoon kept breaking shit, Hoseok read to you and sang....Jimin just stayed sad as I mentioned."

I put my arms around him and rested my head against his. Was I going to forgive him this fast and easily? Actually. Why does it matter? He literally risked his life so many times to save me. He saved me from suicide many times over and even ran into a burning building to save me.
