and woke up alone❞

THE SKY FELL HARD across the window-screen, the pouring rain came crushing down, as the grey roared his wonders. Nothing like quiet silence, awkward glances and uncertain emotions.

Seated in Jungkook's car, I dared to glance at the man. His jaws clenched as he gripped against the steering wheel. Muttering I few curses, I was taken back when he turned and caught my staring.

"You okay?"

He asked in his deep sour voice, I took a notice at his bleeding knuckles, as a thought that he got that while save me.

"I'm feeling Gucci so now can you please drop me home."

I spoke and immediately regretted by the look on his face, he was dead serious. The direness giving me chills, as I gulped feverishly.

"Here take this your stockings are torn."

He mumbled and before I could stop him, he had already taken off his jacket as he gently placed it on my thighs. I winced at his touch as he looked up questioning.

I watched as his eyes observed the wound on my thighs caused by Nick's merciless assault.

"It's not that bad."

And I don't know the reason why I was giving any justifications to him. He glanced at me, I see something flash within those brown dou eyes of his.

"Shut up," was all he said as he soon pulled open the gloves box of his car.

His hands held on the anticipate and the small bandage.

"You really don't have to-"

"Listen Aria, I know you like putting up this act that you're strong and nothing affects you but it's me, and you can't fool me."

His profound words hit me hard, my thoughts wavered when soon his warm hands touched the wound. Trying hard not to wince I watched as Jungkook's tender touches subsided the pain.

After applying the anticipate he looked to glance at me, his piercing gaze burning my soul as slowly he leaned his face closer to me.

I moved aback and definitely gasped when he brought his hands near my face, palming my face, my eyes closed at the intimacy.

As slowly I felt his fingers applying the medicine near my bruised lips. His warm and ragged breath hit hard across my face as my eyes darted open and stared at him to find him so close.

I watched as Jungkook gulped nervously, a dark shade of scarlet tint appeared at his cheeks as he kept the intimacy.

"Aria I know you and I don't get along so well but I just want us to move forward forget about the past. "

He spoke, as I found my hands clutched to his collars as I pulled him closer. Our lips almost touching as he stared at me with those surprising eyes.

“Forget it? Get this straight, Jeon there is no you and I. It's only me alone.”

With that I pushed him away as I got out of the car, the rain crashing over as I started walking to where the subway was.

I flinched when I heard the car's door being banged, making a loud commotion. My breathing turned heavy as I didn't bother to look back and continued to walk.

"Get in the car, Aria."

His harsh voice made my steps come to a halt as I turned to face him, finding him standing by his car as the his clothes soaked in the pouring rain. Water dripping from his red hairlock as he peered at me.

“I'm not getting in that car with you, Jeon.”

I said as he took large steps, his long legs bringing him closer to me as he stopped midway and just stared at me.

Taking cautious steps he stepped forward, until I was only a step away from him, bringing his hands to my shoulder he pulled me in,“For once listen to me you mad woman.”

The say honest words hit you hard, but to me it was the eyes. The honesty that flashes through a person's eyes could make me change my mind.

But then again, it wasn't just honesty it was his eyes, that spoke things I wouldn't want to know. And even when how much I tried hating this man, I always could not hate him more than I hate myself.

•••

I must've fallen asleep, for time suddenly seems to have leaped forward and I find myself sitting up in a shaft of bright white moonlight, wincing and massaging a crick in my neck and stiffness in my arms, I stretch and stammered to find Jungkook staring at me.

“How long have we been here, and why didn't you wake me up?”

I asked shifting up as Jungkook just sighed and got out of the car, as I did the same.

We stopped abruptly side by side, as he stared at my house. Turning around I found him taking a few steps back.

“I would've woke you up but, you were sleeping so peacefully. ”

There he goes again, saying things making me accept the part that he indeed knew me so well, and he aware of the fact that I had insomnia.

“You know what's wrong with you, you're guilty and it's that guilt of what happened 3 years ago eating you alive.”

I spoke my words wavering, as I pointed my finger at him. He took few steps forward his eyes looking down at me.

“I’m not guilty.”

He said as I turned my back to him, a tear ran down my eye as I spoke,“Thank you, that's all I needed to hear.”

Taking cautious steps nearing the doorsteps I almost stopped from inserting the keys upon hearing his voice, “Do you really believe what happened three years ago was my fault?”

“It’s what I saw didn't take a lot for me to believe it was your fault. ”

“Then perhaps I was a fool for believing that may be after three years, you would—you w..ould at least hear me out.”

The door made a clicking sound and opened on it’s own as Taehyung stepped outside.

“Aria what took you so lon—”

He stopped midway his eyes caught Jungkook’s standing figure.

“What are you doing here?”

Taehyung’s rough voice didn't go unnoticed as he stepped forward in front of me.

“Nothin.”

With that I watched as Jungkook went back to where his car was parked and without a glance or two he drove away.

We got inside as I caught the sight of the TV being turned on in the living room, empty beer cans spread on the floor as Taehyung tugged his ear nervously.

“Well, your mom asked me to look after you. She's kinda out of city for a business trip.”

“Of course she and her low act of sympathy.”

I mumbled and Taehyung just sighed ignoring my words. As walked in to the kitchen.

“I'm making some ramen with kimchi, take a shower quick because I'm starving.”

Taehyung proclaimed from inside the kitchen, his voice echoing as I proceeded to walk upstairs towards my bedroom.

Stepping out of the clothes, I stood underneath the cold shower. Icy water running down my naked body as I shivered at the first impact then slowly easily I leaned my forearms against tiled walls of the bathroom as the sound of water running and my silent sobs filled the air.

I was a mess, everything just seemed to be slipping out of my hands, like sand and there is no way to bring an end to my pain. I hate to admit but I'm tired of feeling, of being so lonely.

Aria indeed is an independent girl, but from inside she's fighting her own demons.
