**TRIGGER WARNING**

"Goodbye.

I hate that word.

Why can't we say 'until we meet again' or something like that? I was never good at goodbyes. Yet, I had to say it three times in the space of a week.

First was my twin, my other half.
Second, my father. The man that helped bring me into this world and third was my love,
You, Namjoon.

The first two were the hardest, I knew I won't ever see them again but you I knew I would see you again if you were willing to let me. I was so grateful to have you by my side. You never left me even after glimpsing my major episode and had to be taken away by Aaron to England.

You stayed by me and helped me every step of the way. I was upset with myself for putting you through that but I loved you more and more for not giving up on me.

If it was anyone else, they would have left along, a long time ago."

"Hyung, I don't understand. Why didn't Mrs. Park wait for Noona to be discharged before having the funeral?" Namjoon questioned the older male as they were filling out Aro's discharge forms to take her back home.

Aaron didn't give Namjoon an answer since he saw Aro was walking over to them. Aro was quiet the entire ride home as she sat in the back seat with her head resting on Namjoon's shoulder.

As they entered the house, Aaron warned Namjoon to be on his guard. Still confused, the younger didn't question why as he held his girlfriend's hand and helped carry her bag.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING HERE?!"
Startled by the loud feminine voice, Namjoon picked up his gaze to see Mrs. Park, rage evident in her features while she stood by the stairway.

"This is her home mother, and he's her boyfriend. They have just as much right to be here as you." Aaron told his mother, defensively standing in front of Namjoon and Aro.

"Are kidding me, son? If it wasn't for that stupid award or dropping that boy off my husband and daughter would still be alive!" Mrs. Park yelled out, walking fast towards Aro who held onto Namjoon's arm. She had her eyes stuck onto the ground.

"Just look at her, she can't even look me in the eye. Have you no shame for taking their lives? You should have died, not them!"

A loud echo resounded in the house as Mrs. Park's palm collided with Aro's cheek. The amount of strength she used caused the girl's head to move to the side. Banging herself against the mirror in the hallway and causing it to shatter and puncture Aro's skin.

"They were my family too and you didn't even let me say goodbye to them! Why, why do you hate me so much? What did I do that was so wrong? Was it because you had to take care of me when I was a baby and couldn't model anymore?"

"I've done everything you asked of me yet it wasn't good enough. Just tell me why you don't love me!" Aro screamed out as tears began to run down her face.

It had only earned her another burning slap across her face.

"I am your mother, don't you raise your voice at me!" Mrs. Park was fuming as she raised her hand to slap Aro again.

But Namjoon was faster, he pulled Aro into his arms as the girl cried out. Aaron held his mother's hand back as he gave her a stern look.

"Mother? Are you joking right now? You were never a mother to her, you hated her since the day she was born. Father was the only one that was there for her and when he asked you to take care of her and stop modelling, you hated it.

Let's face it your marriage was a business deal. You never loved us or father. You only had us so he wouldn't leave you. You took out your anger on Aro all the time. You hit her till she bled, locked her up in the basement in restraints, without food or water for days whenever father wasn't around.

You only said hateful things to her, you are the reason she's suicidal and has depression. She never told her father about it cause she didn't want to get him upset. After all, the man loved you, yet you only loved his money! Well, guess what mother? The only thing father left you in his will is this house. Everything else belongs to Aro and me."

Mrs. Park stood there, stunned by what Aaron had said. Not because everything he mentioned was the truth, but the last part.

"What?! You're lying. I'm his wife, why would he leave everything to you and that whore?" Mrs. Park hissed out as her anger only began to grow by the second.

"Because father loved us and if you don't believe me, call the lawyer. I have already moved all our stuff out. I brought Aro here to say goodbye to the staff as this is the last you will see of us. Goodbye, mother."

With that, Aaron had pulled the two out of the house.

"I'm so sorry you had to see that, Joonie." Aro apologized, wiping away her tears with the ends of her sleeves.

"Why do you have to be sorry, Noona? If anyone should be sorry it's her. I never knew you went through so much." Namjoon comforted her, pulling the girl closer to him.

"It was too painful for her to talk about. I bought an apartment for Aro and me, why don't you stay the night? Aro could use you being around." Aaron suggested to Namjoon who instantly nodded, pulling out his phone to inform his parents.

Later that night, Namjoon felt thirsty and as he got up to get some water he decided to check on Aro. Noticing that she wasn't occupying her bed, he rushed to the bathroom to check if she was there.

Immediately he began screaming out for Aaron, who rushed to him. They had found Aro on the bathroom floor with slits on her wrists, blood oozing out slowly. Namjoon had picked her up and placed her on the bed while Aaron called the ambulance.

While at the hospital, Aaron had taken Namjoon aside to speak to him.

"Namjoon, I know this is hard but it's only gonna get worse." Aaron started and Namjoon could only nod, stating that he knew so too."No, Joon, you don't. When she gets better I'm going to take her to England to get some help. I don't know how long we will be there but do know that you are always welcome to come to visit."

"It's the best thing for her right now, hyung, I understand and will visit when I can. I'll wait for her so please bring her back safe. I love her so much." Namjoon responded in a pained voice as they both waited for Aro.
