chapter 59: Pills
Okay the streets was scarier than I thought. But it wasn't so scary after I had met a boy a little bit older than me to take me in.
I thrived with a gang now. The leader didn't seem too dangerous, he was quiet. But I heard when you got him mad, he could be deadly.
I ran out of my allowance. I'd traveled so far away from home I'm sure he kicked me off at Canada or something.
I didn't miss home because there wasn't really anything to miss except hot meals, shower and overwatch.
All my friends were in jail probably for life, no words can describe how guilty I feel.
The gang wouldn't let me in at first. Everyone here had done some huge bad deed or gone to jail. I guess I fit in with them now, because I murdered someone.
Thankfully the leader provided a roof over our heads. Food was no big deal, we didn't cook at all. We either stole or went out. I didnt steal so I didn't care, but I sure ate.
Maybe when I turned sixteen I could ditch these guys and get a real job. But no one wants to hire a killer I guess.
I looked around at my new bedroom not looking so new. It was good enough for me judging on the fact that I had nothing.
The leader walked in with the same intimidating look he had on when I crossed his alley.
"Alex, I'm thinking about having you stay for a while." He said.
That was music to my ears. "Thanks Yoongi."
April's POV:
Lisa, Jimin, and I sat on the sofa trying to figure out where Alex could've run off to.
"He's just scared, he'll come back when he's hungry enough. Let's just hope he doesn't get in more trouble. The sentence is worse the more he waits. And he can't wait it out forever." Lisa said.
I nodded my head. I was so frustrated with everything. I hadn't even checked up on Jin.
I sighed and sank into the sofa just wanting to escape from life.
"We can't put up missing signs, then the police will get involved." I said.
"Well maybe we want them to get involved. We tell the police he ran away and he's the criminal, which is the truth, and they'll do a better job looking for him and he can go to jail like he rightfully should." Jimin said.
I nodded my head. It was a good idea. "Okay. Because I really don't have the patience or time for this. I guess no one is missing now. Jungkook is getting happily married and the police will snatch my brother. My poor little brother." I said refusing to release the tears sitting in my eyes.
I sighed. I had stuff to do. I still hadn't processed what had happened this week. There was issue after issue. It's ridiculous.
I should know better not to believe what I see on the news but hearing it from Jungkook's voice just....broke me.
Jhope's POV:
I placed lilacs on her grave. They were a beautiful bundle of flowers, her favorite.
The sun was hiding and the day was cloudy, almost raining.
After the camping trip I got to spend a lot of time by myself. My friends were going through turmoil and although I'd love to be with them I had to take care of some things.
"I miss you Lily." I told her. Things were getting tough, and even though she had died a year ago I could use her wisdom.
I still hear her voice wishing me to be happy, upset I tried to end my life. I know Lily would want me to move on and potentially find someone else, but it's not like it's easy.
I stood up and wiped the dirt off of my jeans. There was just too much going on at home, I'll stay here in Pennsylvania for a while. I need some thinking time.
Jungkook's POV:
I tried to get her image out of my mind but I couldn't. I was two days away from getting married and all I can think about some girl on the news. I don't understand what's so special about her, she's just some actor who probably didn't go through all that crap. But I still couldn't stop thinking of her. It's really weird, I'm not usually attracted to people on the screen.
"How do I look?" Amarisa said twirling around in her wedding dress.
"Great." I said. Imagining the girl in the news in the dress. I felt so guilty about it I quickly shook it out of my mind. "I want to hold off the wedding."
Amarisa's happiness instantly shut down being replaced with anger. "Why? You aren't excited about marrying me? Im counting down the seconds while you are postponing it?! It doesn't matter how long you are going to try to avoid it we are marrying!!" She snapped.
"Technically it's 'getting married' and I do look forward to marrying you I just need some time—"
She cupped her hands pressing them to her face. Her shoulders were rising slightly indicating she was crying.
I rested my hand on her shoulder. "Amarisa....."
She looked up at me, mascara streaked. "Don't you love me Jungkook?" She said sniffling.
I swallowed. "I— I don't....know".
She nodded her head. I could see the fury in her eyes. She got up and filled up a glass of water and slammed it down on the table before me setting down two pills with it.
"I don't care about your unsurity we are getting married Friday. Take your pills." She demanded.
This is the thing about Amarisa I hate. Her demanding and uncaring words.
I rolled my eyes and got up ignoring the medicine. "I don't have a headache today." I said leaving.
"NO! Take your medicine!" She said stomping up to me. Digging her pointer finger in my chest.
I slapped her hand away causing her to stare at me in shock."A— Abuse!!"
I rolled my eyes. She could be such a drama queen. "Amarisa I'm going to the hospital. I can't feel my right hand anymore and it just won't do what my brain tells it to. And I'm not taking those pills. I don't care if the had the power to give me a perfect memory." I said walking out the door.
Amarisa ran up to the car but I pulled away leaving her standing in the driveway in a wedding dress crying.

The doctor told me to pick up my new medicine at the Pharmacy. My hand was doing horrible and it was a good thing I came in or they might've had to amputate it. I love archery but it didn't phase me. I really feel I am looking for something but I'm not sure. Emptiness sort of.
My hand had somehow gotten a substance that is killing the blood cells inside of it. Fortunately they had medicine to fix it, maybe. The doctor also told me I look like I needed some sleep or maybe it was something more serious. I told him I stay healthy and take vitamins but he said their's something wrong about the way my body functions but he can't pick it out. I dismissed it not wanting to wait any longer so I left to the Pharmacy.
I had to wait at least an hour for my medicine. I was getting extremely impatient so I when the lady went on her break I snuck into the medicine area of the Pharmacy.
I saw a bucket that had my name on it and I guessed the medicine was for me. I knew that Amarisa's dad owned the hospital so maybe she mentioned me. I already knew what my medicine looked like but when I looked in the bucket none of the medicine were the ones the doctor prescribed.
I took the bucket and slipped out of the Pharmacy walking back to my doctor's office. I didn't recognize this medicine so I need to ask before taking it.
The doctor was tapping on the computer keys when I interrupted him.
"Hey doctor, could you take a look at this medicine for a couple seconds? I've been taking these pills for quite some time now but they aren't the ones you perscribed."
The doctor nodded and took a look at the medicine his face instantly twisting.
"Where did you find this? It shouldn't be here. This belongs in a lab." He said alarmed.
"My girlfriend, Amarisa Mift, is giving me those for my headache. And also some vitamins."
The doctor's eyes grew so wide I thought they were going to fall out of his face. "Jungkook, how long have you been consuming this?! This stuff isn't for the human body!! The effects it could have on you are awful! I knew something was wrong." He paused. "Amarisa Mift...... The daughter of Dr. Mift, the Mift that owns this hospital?"
I nodded.
He stopped for a second thinking.
"This all makes sense. She has access to even the most deadliest diseases. Jungkook you'll need to go in for surgery immediately."
I shook my head. "I feel fine, doctor." I said backing up to the door.
He pulled on a face mask, goggles and gloves.
"You're scaring me." I told him but that didn't stop him from coming closer.
"This won't hurt." He said grabbing my arm inserting a shot into it.
"Liar." I said before slipping out if consciousness....again.
A/N: sorry the story is getting so messy switching from different point of views. I would like to show you what everyone is doing, but if it confused you I can switch to April's POV only. I have this group of main characters I wanted to show you what each where up to and their issues but if it's getting too messy let me know.
