Dangerous

    Arson, the word fell out of Taehyung's mouth, traveling to our ears. The thought of someone I once talked to being capable of commuting such a crime left me in shock. He obviously wasnt a model student but a crime that could possibly hurt someone.... I would never have suspected.

    "Why? Tae tell me... We've known each other for years... I thought, I thought you were passed-"

    "You thought wrong Kook. You dont know anything about me. Why? How about why not? I was gonna go to jail anyway, and setting fire to that shithole was the only way for me not to be put away for 10 years"

    "10 years?!? What else did you do idiot?!"
    Taehyung looked around slightly looking for gaurds before leaning closer against the bars.
   "D R U G S"

    "What the fuck Tae!?" ...... Dealing or holding?"

    "What do you think? I was fucking dealing"

    "That's why you were always full of cash.... "
    Taehyung stepped away from the bars.

    "I made a huge ass mistake and was just cleaning the problem. I will be out in two years. They are gonna send me to Gravesworth Detention Center"

Jungkook thought for a moment I could tell he was disappointed in Taehyung, and hurt.

    "What about your kid?"

    "What kid- oh you mean that bitch I knocked up? I told her to get an abortion"

Esperanza balled her fists up and was look at the floor. She wanted to say something but instead she crossed her arms and leaned against the wall.
It was silent for a couple minutes before Taehyung spoke up again.

    "Hey Kook I will write you when I get to-"

     "Don't. I'm done with your shit. You wanna spend your life in and out of jail? Drunk and high? Having 10 kids you don't know exist? Is that the life you want? Well I don't. Don't write me, and don't expect me to visit you either" Jungkook walked out of the room and out of the police station.

Taehyung looked at Esperanza and I who were about yo leave and go with Jungkook and leaned against the bars. "Nice ass. Leaving so soon Y/N? I heard you let Yoongi fuck you? Wait for me will ya?" We turned and looked at him disgusted then Esperanza grabbed my arm and pulled me out the police station. Once we got to the side walk she stopped and said "Dont listen to that jerk, we are going to college next year and we wont ever have to see him again" I nodded and we got in the car with Jungkook. He was silent and had his hands on the wheel. "Thank you... For coming with me... Ive been trying to clean up my act and get the others to do the same... But, seeing Tae... Throw his life away... It just-"

"Jungkook its not your fault, you did what you could for him but it wont matter unless he tries too" I said placing my hand on his shoulder.

He started the car and we drove in silence. "How are the others? At cleaning up their act i mean.." Esperanza said looking out the window. I realized she was a bit uncomftorable being around Jungkook but came along anyway.

"Huh? Oh, they are slowly getting better. But since so much has happened in the last week it is a bit hardm Especially Yoongi, Namjoon, and Jimin." for the remainder of the ride it was silent. When we arrived at our apartment stayed in the car for a bit before I got out, and as Esperanza was getting out Jungkook grabbed her hand stopping her and saying "Esperanza... I'm sorry about everything.. But can we start over? As friends?"
She froze for a moment thinking it over before giving a small nod. He let go of her hand and we headed inside.

She pressed her back against the door letting a small sigh of relief escape her lips.

''What is it?" I asked her. She looked at me with a small smile.
"We finally get a break from... Everything. Yoongi, Taehyung, Jungkook... Well at least for a little. We will see them at school- but Jungkook said they are getting better'' she grabbed my shoulders with a smile on her face.

A smile formed across my face. Everything was getting better.

Or so I thought...
