I waved goodbye to Jimin as we left lunch to go to 5th period. I turned down the hall to go to my locker, but I was greeted by Emily and Alyssa instead. They were standing in front of it, and I had no choice but to talk to them.
"Please move, I need to get to my locker."
They didn't budge, but continued to glare at me. "Who's that guy we see you hanging around," Emily said firmly.
"He's just my friend Emily," I said as I looked her in the eye.
"Oh really? Is he now? Because I'm pretty sure you don't kiss your friends, especially if they're boys." This remark came from Alyssa, and I could feel my hands clutching into fists. I tried to hold back my anger and act calm.
"Why does it concern you?"
"You don't have to be so rude y/n. We just wanted to know who he was," Emily said as she gave Alyssa a look. I knew they were up to something, and I was a mix of anger and fear.
"Look, he's my boyfriend so don't get any ideas! Now leave me alone!"
"Your wish is our command princess," Emily said as her and Alyssa laughed. After they were a good distance from me, I slammed my hands against my locker and cried. I knew what they were capable of, and I didn't know what to do. I was afraid Jimin might be in danger, as well as myself. I was scared they might tell him about my past, and that he might leave me like everyone else has.
I missed the whole period due to me crying my eyes out. After I heard the bell ring, signaling 5th period was over, I stood up and left the scene, the top of my shirt showing that I was crying. I wiped my face off with my sleeve, but I knew my face was still red. I didn't care too much though, and I walked into my next class. I sat down, but quickly panicked remembering Jimin also had this class. He would easily be able to tell I was crying, and I couldn't tell him why. I tried to act casual as other students walked in, ignoring me. I kept waiting and waiting for him, but when the bell rang, he never came. Now I was really worried. But I couldn't think now, since class had begun.
As soon as class ended I bolted out the door, frantically looking for him. I bumped into other students, earning glares and whispered curses. I searched all the halls, and I couldn't find him. I then decided to run up to the roof, even though I knew he probably wasn't up there. I opened the door, and ran onto the flat roof. What I saw made me wanna curl up and die.
I saw Jimin, both arms stretched out horizontally, being held by Alyssa and Emily. I noticed he was really close to the edge of the roof, and I knew what might happen.
"What the hell is going on here!?"
"Y/n!" He yelled my name and tried to run to me, but was barely able to move.
I ran towards him but didn't know what to do. I was so scared, that I fell onto my knees. I just looked at all of them, almost speechless.
"What are you doing to him," I managed to say.
"Oh him! You're boyfriend! I didn't realize he meant so much to you," Emily said while smiling.
"Please let him go, he didn't do anything wrong. Hurt me instead, I can take it."
"No y/n," he said with sadness in his voice.
I didn't know what the point of this was. I wanted to be strong, but I could feel tears heating up in my eyes. I knew it killed Jimin to see me crying and not being able to comfort me.
After our moment of silence, Alyssa finally spoke again. "Jeez, it was just a joke. We weren't actually going to hurt him you crybaby. But it happened once, so it could happen again."
They both released his arms. I was still on my knees crying as they both brushed by me. As soon as Jimin heard the door close, knowing they were gone, he rushed over to my side. He picked me up into his arms, but the tears kept coming.
I have never hated myself more than that moment. I had put Jimin, a person that I loved and meant the world to me, in grave danger. Because of my past mistakes, he was the person getting hurt, when it should be me. I would suffer all their punishments just so he wouldn't have to. I know that the guy is supposed protect the girl, but in my case I had to protect him.
I had slowly stopped crying, and was finally able to speak again.
"Jimin are you ok? What did they do to you?"
"I'm fine I promise. They didn't hurt me, just threatened me, and warned me about things that aren't true."
"What kind of things," I asked hesitantly.
He looked away from me, unable to meet my eyes. "Oh it was nothing. I'd rather not talk about it."
"Please Jimin, tell me before I start crying again."
He sighed, and said, "They said that I should stop dating you because I'm falling into one of your traps and that I'll just get hurt. They said you've hurt a lot of people before, and I'm next."
"Oh my god," I whispered to myself.
"I didn't believe them. I told them to fuck off. I don't think you would do that, and even if you have, I don't care. I love you so much, and nothing is gonna stop me from loving you."
I couldn't believe they had said that. I was afraid he had lost trust in me, and that killed me. I was sobbing, but not many tears were even coming out anymore. My body aches from the pain. He held me tighter, and I knew he didn't believe them, but it still bothered me that they said that to him.
After a while, I eventually calmed down. My breathing slowed down to normal, and my face was dry. I was slowly falling asleep in his arms, so he decided to hum a song to me, which relaxed my aching bones.
"Jimin, do you still love me? As much as you did before they said those things to you?"
"If it's possible, I love you even more. I didn't believe a word they said. I'm always gonna love you, and be by your side to protect you from people like them. You're the only thing that matters to me."
I felt soothed by his words. I sat up a little, now face to face with him. I just stared dreamily at him, and he cupped his hand over my cheek. He leaned in and placed his lips against mine. I smiled into the kiss, and he did too. He continued to kiss me, his soft plump lips crashing with mine, making me feel so much joy.
We were interrupted by the bell ringing. School was over, and I hadn't realized we had been alone for so long. We both got up and slowly walked towards the door to leave the roof. We left the school and I was so exhausted on the walk home. I was shaking slightly since today's events still shook me up. He noticed, and grabbed my hand to stop me from walking.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"I'm just still worried about what happened today."
"Are you afraid I'm gonna leave you?"
That was one of the reasons, but I couldn't bring myself to explain the rest. I just nodded my head and looked down in embarrassment. He wrapped his hands around my waist, and pulled me closer to him. His hugs always made me feel better. I laid my head on his shoulder and sighed, feeling all the pain leave me.
"I will never leave you. No matter what."
I hugged him tighter before letting go. I just smiled at him as he kissed my forehead. On the rest of the walk home, he held my hand, reminding me of the first time we met.
Sorry if these chapters are too long...I love to write.
