The Beginning Of The End

15th of September 2015

"Are you sure I can't come with you? I'll be bored, and miserable, and lonely. Please, I'll be good. You won't even know I'm there." I begged, even getting down on my knees, and pulling the saddest face I could make.

"Sang sweetie, you know you can't. You choose not to join the Academy, so you can't attend our formal meetings. We will only be gone for two days. I promise." Kota replies.

Sighing I dropped my head in defeat.

I have been begging them everyday since I found out that the Academy was having a meeting with every Academy group involved. All of the boys were traveling to Greenville in North Carolina. That may as well be like on the opposite side of the world.

But no attempt at beginning, persuading, or even blackmailing have worked. I honestly don't understand why I can't go.

Completely frustrated now, I get up and walk to my room.

"Whatever I don't want to go anyway. Have fun without me." I make sure to stomp as loud as I could up the stairs.

"Sang, please don't be like this." He calls after me, but I proceed to stick my fingers in my ears and going "lalalalala".

Yes I may be acting like a child, but I don't care. I don't want to stay here by myself. I can't remember the last time I have been alone. I can see it now, wide awake until I see them back safe and sound.

It's going to be the longest two days of my life.

I flop down face first into the king size four poster bed, and proceed to scream as loud as I can into the sheets.

Why are boys so frustrating, and I have to deal with nine of them.

'Don't eat that Sang. Don't wear that Sang. Don't leave without one of us with you Sang. What are you doing Sang. Where are you going Sang. Where's your bubble Sang. Sang, Sang, Sang."

Grrr... I would love to switch places with them, even for a day. I would so make their life hell.

Flopping over onto my back I stare up at the ceiling m and all the glow in the dark stars North had put on it.

It's been a year since we all moved in together, and so far it has been great. I love them all to pieces, but sometimes I still don't get them.

What makes this time ok. Why am I allowed to be alone now, when I can't even pee without one of them asking if I was ok. Like seriously, what's going to happen, the toilet going to swallow me to.

I look over at the clock on the wall and see that it is going on five o'clock. They all told me that they would be home tonight so they could all spend time with me before they have to leave.

Groaning, I sit up and decided that I'll be the good little housewife I am, and at least make them dinner.

It's very rare that we are all home for dinner, so I'm not going to pass up this opportunity, even if I'm frustrated at them.

I run down the stairs to hear, "don't run down the stairs Sang." See, caveman I tell yah.

Ignoring Kota, I run into the kitchen and open the fridge to see what I could make them.

I decided on a roast pork dinner. I love the crackle, but North doesn't allow me to eat much of it; it's too fattening, pfft, what he doesn't know won't kill him.

Two and a half hours later I have the table covered in food and all the fine china set up.

I go looking for Kota and the others, since I haven't seen them in a while.

"HEY. If you want to be feed, get into the kitchen now."

I heard a stampede of males running to the kitchen.

"NO RUNNING IN THE HOUSE BOYS." I heard them all laughing, but none of them slowed down.

Of course it's ok for them to run.

One by one they walk past me, giving me a peck on the lips and finding their seat at the table.

After the last person was seated I sat down and joined them.

Everyone started shovelling food on to their plates, mine of course was magically growing by itself. It's funny how it does that. I wouldn't be amazed if they tried to feed me too.

We all banter and have a good time during the meal, and I can't help but miss this. It's not the same without them all together.

After dinner everyone helps clean up and end up in the media room.

We put a movie on and it's not long after I fall asleep, curled up in Owen and Sean's arms.

4:30am

I was awoken the next morning by light kisses placed all over my face, and surrounded by nine different smells.

Smiling, I stretch and open my eyes slowly.

Nine faces are smiling down at me.

"Good morning. What's going on?"

Gabe who is laying next to me responds. "It's time for us to go trouble. We wanted to say goodbye before we left." Groaning I rolled over and buried my head into his shoulder, and going all koala on him.

"No. You're my tree, and I'm your Koala. The two don't separate, so you can't go." I hear the others laughing, but I'm quite serious.

"Come on Sang Baby. I want a kiss and a hug before we have to leave."

I release Gabe enough to give him a kiss, then detach myself from him, and make my way over to North.

After everyone got their hugs and kisses, I follow them to the door, and they all have last minutes request; or demands, depends on how you look at it.

"Don't leave the house." Kota.

"Don't fuck up your outfits." Gabe.

"Don't eat junk food, eat healthy." North.

"Don't listen to North, eat junk food." Luke.

"Don't get injured, I'm not here to help you if you get in trouble." Sean.

"Don't forget to keep up your training." Nathan.

"Don't forget to practice your violin." Owen

"Don't forget to message or call us for anything." Victor.

"Don't forget to practice your Greek."Silas.

I stare at them with blank face. I'm totally not doing any of that.

When I thought they were finished, I was proven wrong.

"And don't burn down the house." All of them.

Giggling at their antics, I push them all to the cars they would be taking to the airport.

"Goodbye. Love you all. See you in two days."

With their replying "I love you too". They were off.

The smile dropped from my face as soon as they were out of sight.

Now what to do?

Returning inside, I make sure the door is locked and decided to clean the house.

Five o'clock in the evening comes around, and I'm at a loss what to do.

I've done the housework, washing; which took forever, and the yard work.

I go up to the bathroom and decided to have a long warm bath.

I relax in there until the water goes cold and get dressed in the most comfortable clothes for bed.

Climbing into the bed, I turn on the TV and start watching a movie.

Three movies later, two bags of popcorn, a packet of m&m's, a bag of chips and a bottle of soft drink, it's now going on midnight, and I still can't sleep.

I wonder if the guys are ok and safe.

I watch as the clock slowly clicks on to midnight.

And that's when it happened.

No they don't walk through the door, but something that will change the course of my future, and not for the better.

It starts of with the lights going off. Then there is this bright white light that manages to get even in behind my eyelids and the hands covering it, then there was the rumble, before everything started shaking.

Completely freaking out I huddled into the bed crying.

It felt like it lasted forever, but it was probably no longer than five minutes.

Getting out of bed, I step over all the fallen items, and make my way to the window.

The world is in black. Everything that once held power is now off. The black is so obsolete, I can't even make out the front of my lawn.

I run over to the emergency backpack in the cupboard, and pull out the torch. Only it doesn't work.

Shit. Shit. Shit. What the hell was I supposed to do know.

I grabbed my phone and saw that, that to wasn't working.

It was only then that I realised the situation I was in.

I had no way of contacting the guys. None. And if they didn't get the power back on soon, all hell is going to break loose, and I don't want to face that alone.

Absolutely terrified, I huddle into the middle of the bed, listening out for any noise that was made in the house, or outside.

That night I didn't move a muscle, staring fixed on the door, praying for my men to come back to me.

I didn't know it then, but it would be a long time before I saw them again, but I knew I would never stop looking.
