I tapped my fingers against the steering wheel, following Taehyung's car in front of me as we drove. They're all going to think I'm just a money whore, using them. God I'm so fucking stupid for being here. Why did I pass out you're so stupid-

"We're almost there Clauds." He spoke, our phones on call with each other so we could still talk and such.

"Oh okay." I nodded, turning on the street which he turned on to.

"Are you okay?" He asked, his voice softer now.

"Me?" I shook my head, scolding my stupidity. "Y-yeah I'm fine."

"Mmm, I don't believe you. What's wrong?"

"No, no please I'm okay don't worry about me."

I watched Taehyung's car turn on it's right hand signal, him pulling over to the side of the road and turning his car off. I followed, sighing quietly.

I got out of the car as Taehyung did, standing by my now closed door as he walked towards me.

And then he didn't stop walking.

"Alright." He sighed, pulling me into a hug. "There, there little Claud. I've got you."

"T-Tae." Was all I could say, my arms not having enough strength to hug him back, my face burning.

"Yoongi said he would kill me if I didn't make sure you were alright." Taehyung rested his chin on my head. "And I'm pretty good at knowing when someone's upset." Taehyung sighed. "Relax Clauds, you're okay."

I slowly felt my arms rise, wrapping themselves around Taehyung just as his were around me. I closed my eyes, leaning against him a bit more. He engulfed me, hugging me, giving me a bit of his warmth and strength. "This is nice."

"It is." Taehyung agreed, his deep voice close to my ear, sending shivers across my body. "Is there anything I can do to help with whatever is bothering you?"

"I'm just really nervous." My voice cracked, every monster of anxiety stabbing at my heart. I couldn't take a deep breath.

"A-are you going to pass out? Do I need to get you a water or-" Taehyung spoke quicker than before, a bit of panic in his voice.

"No no don't freak out that's going to freak me out." I whimpered, pulling away from him, my heartbeat getting louder in my ears. "No no." I shook my head, covering my ears, trying to get the sound of that stupid beating drum out of my head.

"Clauds-"

"I'm goin... pass-"

Everything went dark.
