chapter 64: Forgiveness
Watching the police drag away Yoongi was the second most comforting thing that has happened all week. The first being Jungkook not actually getting married. It sounds twisted but I would've been more broken if they got married than Yoongi on the loose. Just a couple hours ago, his father was sentenced to life in prison. Unfortunately the police took away Alex as they should've. But he seemed at peace, of course a little scared but as if he accepted it.
I was the only one that knew about my stepdad Bill's dishonest self so I would turn him in too.
I turned to look at Jungkook "What about Amarisa's parents?"
He walked over and gave me a hug.
"You're.... squeezing the life out of me." I said reminding him I needed air.
He smiled and backed off. "Amarisa's parents will be taken care of. And Amarisa was taken care of as well...."
I nodded. "Why are you here,? You murdered someone. You should be in jail. And why did you do it?"
He laughed. He was really insane now." Amarisa is no less guilty than all the criminals we've delt with. I'll tell you about it later."
I sighed. "I broke up with Devon."
Jungkook turned around with one eyebrow raised and a smirk
"Did you?"
I nodded irritated he was playing with me.
"And why may I ask?" He said holding the same expression.
I rolled my eyes. Really Jungkook? "Shutup." I said standing on my tippy toes placing my lips over his then quickly walking away smiling like an idiot embarrassed at my own actions.

RAPMONSTER'S POV:
I cupped my hands over my face. My head hurt, my eyes were dry, and I hadn't eaten in three days.
Jin wasn't waking up. I thought he was going to recover. The doctors came in pleading me to cut him off of life support but I'd refuse until he died or woke up. I had spent every last penny of my money yesterday and at three tomorrow the doctors would come around and hand me the bill.
I hadn't left Jin's room in fear he might wake up.
The only thing giving me hope was thinking that maybe inside he can hear my voice. He's alive but he can't wake up. In his head he's pleading for me to not give up on him. Either that or he is just gone.
Jennie had texted me yesterday telling me she was returning to Jin's house and hoped he would be okay. I hoped the same thing. Everyone was healing and getting better while poor Jin risked his life to attempt to save his friends. It isn't like the movies, Jin had no idea the sick man was going to shoot him.
I stared at Jin's pale face. Even his lips have lost their rosy color. His heart monitor was steady as always, but his eyelids wouldn't budge. I've never had anxiety, but yearning for him to wake up minute by minute was killing me on the inside.
I held his hand because he would be upset about what I was going to say next.
"Jin, I'm so sorry. You've done so well. Tomorrow.....tomorrow the doctors are cutting you off life support...and I can't really do anything about it. I've made loans and other things but..." I tried to ignore the tears that were costing my cheeks "but I'm so sorry. Please wake up. We all need you, and we all love you. Give me a sign or just a little movement and I'll do everything to keep you here. I love you Jin, so wake up hm?"
I waited several minutes seeing him still lying there, unmoving. I didn't expect him to move because I asked him to, I just wanted him to know the circumstances. It was still very disappointing.

ALEX'S POV:
I sat on the chair in the small room and a guard standing behind me. I was meeting with the parents of the teen I had killed. My hands were extremely sweaty and I couldn't bare my anxiety.
I was the one that asked to meet them. I really couldn't get on with my life knowing I killed someone but not knowing who or apologizing.
I was so sorry. Words really can't explain the guilt. Some days I felt life really wasn't worth the pain people go through.
I held my breath as a woman and a man holding hands walked in.
The woman wasn't wearing any maekup and underneath her eyes were red and she was frail. The Father seemed very pale and sleep deprived.
They sat down infront off me holding my gaze for at least a minute.
"I never imagined him so young." She whispered.
The father swallowed hard staring at me. He looked like he wanted to kill me, but at the same time like he felt bad for me.
"Son.....do you know....you killed my daughter? My baby girl?" He asked his voice choking with tears.
I swallowed hard and tears were are also streaming down my face.
"Yes sir." I whisperd.
"She was....only sixteen." The woman paused to control her sniffeling. "It was her birthday and she was getting her keys from my car after receiving her new one. The one she begged us for months. When she got that car she hugged and kissed me and told me 'This is the best birthday ever. You know I love you, mom, daddy? No matter how much or little you give to me I'll always love you.'." she said with much difficulty staring not quite at me.
I nodded. "I'm....I'm so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking....I..." I hung my head. What could I possibly say?
The father put his hand on my shoulder firmly causing me to raise my head.
"I beg you. Don't ever do this again young man. You have no authority to take away someone's life. It hurts everyone. If you can promise me you will never, ever be that stupid and be responsible I might be able to forgive you." He said through gritted teeth.
I nodded trying to force the tears to stop "Ye— yes sir. May I please have your forgiveness?".
I could see it was taking everything out of the couple to look me in my eyes.
The father looked at his wife "It's what Sunny would want."
They both looked back at me and told me I was forgiven. I didn't know how much simple words could change my entire demeanor.
And I had no words to really describe how I felt. The weight that was crushing me had been lifted, I was still scared, but it's still lifted off my shoulders.
They couple looked at the clock and left the room leaving the guard to guide me back to my cell.
It wasn't terrible in prison. It was a place you learned your lesson. And I had learned my lesson completely. But I didn't mind the time, I'd use it to reflect. When I got out of jail hopefully Jungkook and April will be married or something. Missing out on a couple years of my life won't be the end of the world. And it's not like it's a waste of life, maybe I can witness to my cell mates.
