Grace Xiu

I ran back to the broken pier.

Yes, I ran. I ran the whole long way. So I was even more out of it.

I don't even know why I'm sad. Or uncomfortable right now.

And I don't even know why I'm crying! Why all these emotions so suddenly? Why is being a girl so sad? My hormones! MY STUPID HORMONES!

I slowed down and slapped a hand over my mouth. Tears started to form and I kicked the sand around me.

I hate crying. It ruins my mascara.

"GIRL SENSES NEVER LIE!"

Ashley and Jasmine, no doubt, were running as fast as they could on the sand to get to me.

I turned around and they run into me with arms open wide.

"What's wrong, dear?" Jasmine asks while stroking my hair.

"Who do I need to punch in the neck?" Ashley asks, making me giggle.

I pull away from them and wipe away my wet eyes.

"I don't know why I'm crying." I sniffed. "Mental breakdown. Girl hormones? Over thinking?"

"I saw you with Minho, then Jimin, then Seokjin." Jasmine puts her hands on her hips. "What's the story?"

"3 guys? Color me impressed." Ashley does a slow clap.

I shrug, helplessly. "Minho kissed my head. I ran away from Jimin. I kissed Seokjin on the lips, then ran away to cry." I recapped with a wince. "Wow. That sounds so bad..."

"What the heck is happening?" Jasmine gasps.

"It was after Jimin." I cried and covered my face again. "He was too hot for me to handle."

"What happened, Grace? At the beginning of this party, you were slaying, you were like 'I don't need you, Jimin', you were winning!" Jasmine holds my hands. "How did you break down so quickly?"

"Girl, is it because he has a new girlfriend?" Ashley crosses her arms.

"Jimin has a girlfriend now. He's not even drinking tonight because of her. When we were dating, I would be the one giving up stuff for him. Because I loved him! He must love that girl then." I brought my hands to my head.

"Girl, girl, stop jumping." Jasmine brought my hands down.

"I don't know where all these feelings came from. He was being really nice and super attractive, then he mentioned his girlfriend, now I'm sulking. I'm jealous. I'm jealous! Ok? I'm losing. He's winning and I'm losing and he didn't have to do anything-"

"Sh. Sh. Sh. It's ok. It's ok, Grace." Jasmine brings me into a hug.

Ashley joins too.

I sobbed onto their shoulders. "This party is too long."

"Let's go." Ashley says.

"But, your boyfriends?" I wiped one of my drowned eyes.

"Boyfriends? Sisters before misters, DUH!" Jasmine grabs one of my arms and Ashley grabs the other.

"CHICKS BEFORE D*CKS!" Ashley chants.

We walked back to the party and said our goodbyes to the host.

"Feel better, Grace." Yoongi sends me a concerned smile.

I nod. "Thanks, Yoongi."

"Grace! Are you alright?" Seokjin runs up to us before we could walk out of the party.

"I'm fine." I gulped and turned away.

"We'll be heading now." Jasmine urges and pulls Ashley and I along with her.

I turned back and saw Seokjin still looking at me in full concern. Standing with his loose tank and black shorts, looking so good with his eyes still on me.

I wanted to assure him everything was fine. Even if it was a lie or not.

I turn back around and try to shake the feelings out of my head.

"When we get back it's pizza and gossip, right?" Ashley asks.

"DUH!"

=

"So, you have 2 choices." Ashkey talks with her mouth full of pizza. "Minho....or Seokjin."

I like Minho, but....

"I want to give Seokjin another chance." I answer with no thought at all.

"Hm. That was fast." Jasmine snickers.

"As cliché as it is, he should get a second chance. He seemed really genuine back there. I kissed him too! That was our first kiss and oh my goodness, his lips were..." I blew a kiss in the air with my eyes closed.

It was like I was drinking a milkshake.

"That good, huh?" Jasmine chokes from her laughter.

"Better than Jimin?" Ashley asks.

I shoot her a glare. "I don't care for his plump....red....soft......"

Ashley and Jasmine were looking at me with creepy smiles across their faces.

I cleared my throat. "I don't give a f**k."

=

It's been 4 days since the party and no one knows how they did it, but paparazzi caught on to a lot of things.

"GRACE XIU, ASHLEY ZUNG, JASMINE VU, AND A NEW HOTTIE ALMOST DROWN FROM FALLING FROM A BROKEN PIER"

"GRACE XIU BECOMES HERO FOR SAVING THE NEW HOTTIE"

"ASHLEY ZUNG AND JASMINE VU GETS A NEW BOYFRIEND"

"DATING RUMORS FOR ALL THREE GIRLS"

"GRACE XIU MAKING HER WAY AROUND THE PARTY????"

"GRACE SEEN WITH HER EX, JIMIN PARK"

I shut off my phone and threw it on my bed.

Why can't they just mind their own business?

I should be used to it...

It's just no matter what, Jimin always has to be on my stupid mind.

He's always on my feed and my mind. They're acting as if I HAVE to be with him.

I CAN'T be with him!

I fell back onto my bed and let out a loud sigh.

I'm going to get a pimple from all this stress.

I throw a tiny tantrum around my bed with my arms and legs flailing around.

Life.

Sucks.

Booty.

*Beep*

I stop and grab my phone.

CRAZY AF: Hey, Grace

Oh, it's Seokjin Kim.

Dear Lord.

I should change his name.

BOSS ASS BIOTCH: Hi, what's up?

Please ask me out. Please ask me out. Please ask me out. I want Jimin out of my mind. I want to move on. Please ask me out. I need a distraction. I need someone to make me forget about Jimin. Please. Ask. Me. Out.

Seokjin: What are you up to this week?

BOSS ASS BIOTCH: Um, nothing much. you?

Seokjin: Same for me.

Seokjin: I was wondering if I could ask you out

I jumped on my bed with my arms out.

"YES!" I chanted and jumped back down into my sheets.

BOSS ASS BIOTCH: I wouldn't mind :)
