The next day I sit on my bed with my phone in my hand. I haven't stopped listening to Face Yourself. It feels great to hear their voices again. I mean, I know I can just listen to their other songs and I have, but just hearing them sing something new feels great.
Even though I probably shouldn't, I listen to Let Go a lot. I read the English lyrics almost every hour and I cry every time. Even though it hurts like hell, it also feels nice. It feels nice reading these words and feeling like I'm not alone. I know Taehyung wrote them or at least was the inspiration behind this song. Listening to this song and reading the lyrics, makes me feel closer to him. Almost like he is singing these lyrics directly to me. I know it's stupid and I'm getting desperate.
I look at my phone to replay Let Go again, but then I realize something. I haven't thanked Kaylee for the albums yet... Oh my god... How could I forget about that?! I mean, yes, I've spent the rest of the day listening to the new album and crying my eyes out. But I still had to send her a message! I open my texts and quickly send her a message.
Alyssa: Hey Kaylee, Thank you so much for the BTS albums and your sweet message! It's incredibly sweet of you! Thank you so much! <3
Kaylee: Hey Ali! I didn't think they'd be there already! I'm glad you like it. I was kind of scared you'd hate it... But I'm glad you don't! You're welcome :D
Alyssa: It actually got here yesterday but there was a lot going on in my head and I completely forgot to thank you. I know that's not an excuse, sorry. But I would never hate a BTS album haha!
Kaylee: No worries! Of course that's an excuse! I understand. How are you doing?
Alyssa: I've been better, to be honest. I can't stop listening to the album...
Kaylee: I guess I know what song in particular... Are you okay?
Alyssa: I am. It's weird though. The song makes me feel understood, but it also makes me want to sit in the rain and cry for hours.
Kaylee: I get it. It must be hard for you...
Alyssa: How are the guys? How are you?
Kaylee: They are excited about the release and are overwhelmed by the reactions of fans. They are busy practicing for the coming shows. I'm okay. I miss you very much though!
Alyssa: I miss you too... I've seen a lot of positive reactions from fans on the album. I'm glad! How is Tae?
Kaylee: He is doing better. He keeps himself busy and the guys really support him. He isn't where he was, but he is getting there slowly.
Alyssa: I'm really glad he has all of you around!
Kaylee: We're happy to help him wherever we can. There's only something you I need to tell you... I got you and Yana two signed versions of the album, but the guys didn't know who they were signing for. I hope you weren't expecting a message from them, because they didn't know it was for you.
Alyssa: Okay, thanks for telling me! I didn't think there would be a message to be honest.
Kaylee: Well, if they knew, they would all write you a message saying how much they miss you. Every single one of them!
Alyssa: Thank you, that's so sweet! I really miss them as well. I would give everything to go back to all of you and pick up where we left off.
Kaylee: I wish we could... <3
I feel tears burning in my eyes. I really miss them. Every single one of them... If I could just see them... Just for one last time... Damn, I would do anything to just have one more moment with all of them. Just one more hug or one more laugh...
Kaylee: I need to get going. I will text you soon! <3 Stay strong!
Alyssa: Thank you! Good luck! Love you <3
I put my phone down and lay down on my bed. I stare at the ceiling. Taehyung is doing better. He keeps himself busy, but he is doing okay. The others support him. He has this incredible team around him. He'll be okay. He'll get better...
I take a deep breath and close my eyes. A few tears roll down my face. As Let Go starts again, I picture him, sitting in a studio, maybe even behind a piano. I see how his fingers touch the keys and I hear how he hums a song. He presses a few keys, creating a melody. I see how he closes his eyes as he thinks of the right lyrics. But I bet he knows exactly what to say.
As he softly sings the words that pop into his mind, he grabs a piece of paper and a pen and writes down the words. I see a few others in the room with him. They all look at the words he just wrote down. With what feels like a knife in my heart, I see him sitting there, explaining to the other writers how he feels. I see the tears rolling down his face as he tries to explain what he wants to put into the song.
I scare as a loud ring pulls me away from my thoughts and brings me back to reality. I sit up straight and look at my phone. I feel confused when I see an unknown number is calling me. I quickly wipe the tears off my face and take a deep breath.
"Hello?" I ask as I answer the phone. "Hello, this is Ian from Nature & Human," a man on the other side of the line says. I scare, that's the company I had my interview with yesterday! Oh my god, they are calling me with the news if I got the job or not...
"Is this Alyssa?" Ian asks. "Yes, yes it is. It's nice to talk to you again," I say. "Well, we promised to call within the next day with the results of the interviews. I have to say, there were a lot of great candidates and it was really hard to make the decision," he says. I feel what he is about to say and sigh softly.
"I'm sure you made the right decision," I say, "Thank you anyway for your time." Ian laughs, "I don't think you understand. We picked you, Alyssa." I scare and freeze for a second. They picked me? From all these great candidates they want me?
"We really think you can fit into the team and we would love to work with you," Ian says, "If you're still up for it." I smile wide and stand up from my bed. "Yes, yes of course! Thank you," I tell Ian. For the first time in weeks I feel like I could scream out of happiness. The job really spoke to me and I really wanted to work for the company. But I never thought they would take me!
"Great! Well, I suggest to meet on Monday to talk a little more and to do all the paperwork," Ian says, "If that's okay with you." I laugh softly, "Of course it is! I'll be there!" Ian laughs, "Well, I sure like your energy. That brings me to the next thing I wanted to talk to you about. We are really short on employees and we have a huge project what's already starting. We would like for you to start as soon as possible. How do you feel about that?"
"I totally agree. I would love to start right away!" I tell him. "Awesome! Then I suggest we'd do the paper work on Monday so you can start on Tuesday," he says. "Fine by me," I smile. Even though today was a day filled with tears, I want this. No, I need this. I need to get out of the house more often and have a proper job. I need to be distracted. Because that's the only way to move on from my past life.
"Great! I will see you Monday," he says. "Yes, you'll see me Monday! Thank you," I tell him. He hangs up the phone and I put my phone on my bed. I take a deep breath and feel a huge smile on my face. This feels like the first time in weeks that I don't have a forced smile on my face.
My bedroom door opens and a curious Yana walks in. "I heard you were on the phone, was that the company of your interview?" She asks. I smile wide and nod, "I got the job!" Yana jumps up, runs towards me and hugs me tight. "Oh my god! Congrats!" She shouts. I hug her back and hold her tight. "Thank you!" I tell her.
She lets go of me and looks at me. "Are you excited?" She asks me. "I really am! I really wanted this job and I really wanted to get back to work," I tell her. Yana smiles wide, "Well, I am really happy for you! You deserve something good, finally!" I smile and nod, "Thank you."
Then she jumps up. "We should celebrate!" She shouts, "Let's go out for dinner! It's on me!" I start to laugh, "Really?" Yana nods and looks at me. "Get dressed, put on a nice dress and let's go!" She says. "Where?" I ask her with a smile. "To my restaurant, of course! Jim is working!" Yana laughs and runs out of my bedroom. I laugh as I hear a cheer of happiness as she runs to her room. "We're leaving in thirty minutes!" She shouts. I laugh and roll my eyes. Where would I be without this crazy human being?
