Chapter two

You're so close yet so far away from safety. You can see the rode right there.

What's making you lose hope are all the gunshots behind you. You still wonder how none of them has hit you or Jimin.

But one of them is going to hit you. You know it. You never are this lucky. The only hope is that Jimin is.

You start losing your hope and get ready for the worst. Closing your eyes and calming yourself down as much as you can when suddenly you feel Jimin make a sharp turn.

You quickly open your eyes.

You're out! You actually made it. You look around and there are no people walking no cars driving.

"Don't worry. There is a camera right there." Jimin whispers to you noticing your sharp head movements while looking for someone to ask help.

"Damn! The camera caught us! Let's move back!" You hear the mans voice who once threatened you speak.

You hear more murmurs and shuffling before they all leave. Leaving you with their last words of " We will get you one day." And then they're gone.

Jimin puts you down on the ground where your rest your back against the building walls. You put your hand on your injured shoulder.

You look up and see Jimin pull out his phone and start pressing numbers. He presses his screen three times and you know who he's calling.

"Don't call the medics." You say with as much confidence before he has the chance to presses the call button.

He turns to you and gives you a smile. You give him a serious stare back.

"Wait you're not joking?" He tilts his head as you begin to talk.

"No! Of course not! I will go to some shop and by some bandages, the bullet went through the other side of my shoulder. That means it isn't in my shoulder." You prove your point by touching the back of your shoulder and showing your hand wich now is covered in blood.

"Thanks for saving me though." You give him a fake smile as you try to lift yourself from the ground with the arm that isn't injured.

But you get stopped by a hand that now is placed on your shoulder and is pressing you down back to the ground.

"No, I am not leaving you here like this. You need medical attention now and I am calling the medics." Jimin looks at you. His stare piercing right through you. You can't say no now.

He stands back up and presses the call button. Giving you a glance before turning away to talk to the person on the other side of the phone call.

- 20 minutes later -

The medics arrive and carry you to the car. You get placed down in the car and you hate it. You never liked doctors. You would never go to the doctors' office no matter how sick or injured you are.

You notice your self trembling in fear you try to calm down as the medics ask you all sorts of questions that you do not want to answer.

They must have noticed the other scars and bruises because they started asking much more personal questions.

Before they close the cars door Jimin steps in.

"Can I come along?" Jimin asks one of the medics. You secretly wish he would be able to come. Something about his presence made you feel safer.

"Yes." The medic gives him a sweet smile. He sits down next to you and the car starts moving.

After driving for a bit the car stops. The door opens and you are being carried into the hospital while Jimin follows you closely.

The pain in your shoulder did not get better. Before there were so many things going on you had something to focus on to forget the pain. But now it was all you could feel.

Terrible terrible pain and burning. It got so bad you just couldn't take it. And then before you know it you fell unconscious.

Jimins POV

Jimin stood in the corridor watching thorough the small window into the hospital room.

The nurses checking her condition. Even Jimin could see from the distance all the other bruises and scars that are all scattered across her unconscious form.

Soon one of the nurses walks out. She takes off her mask and turns towards him.

"Sir. Do you mabey know anything about her personal life?" She asks.

"No. I don't."

" Well..... She's very weak. I don't know anything about her but I can tell those are abuse scars and self-harm cuts. Her condition is very unstable. But by my predictions, she's not only physically unstable but also mentally. If you are her friend I advise you to take good care of her." She finishes, giving Jimin a sad smile. And then walking away.

Soon after the other nurses leave as well. Jimin turns towards the door.

Something about this girl. Makes him want to stay with her and help her.

Your POV

"Ugh" You let out a loud groan as you slowly open your eyes.

You wanted to stretch but you just couldn't lift your arm above your head.

" How are you feeling?" The soft voice besides your bed catches you off guard.

" Um... It hurts a little but I'm fine." You respond trying to act as if you just didn't get shoot. " How long have I been out for?"

"Not long. About 30 minutes." He gives you the answer you were hoping for. You didn't want to sleep for too long. All you wanted was to leave.

Jimin stands up and turns. He starts to walk when.......

You grab hold of his wrist. " Are you leaving?" You ask with a desperate tone. You didn't mean to sound desperate but it just came out that way.

"Yes sorry. I have to leave."

His words send shivers down your spine.

"No! You can't leave. You put me in here even though I told you that I don't need medical attention. And now you will stay here." You look at him. Trying to give him the best puppy eyes you can.

You're afraid. Terrified. You don't want to stay in the hospital. Not alone.

"I'm sorry. I promise I will come back." Jimin said while giving you a warm smile. You didn't have a right to ask him to stay. You knew that but you wished he could.

He looks so innocent but at the same time so serious. "He wouldn't lie. Right?" You think to yourself.

"You promise?" You aks to make sure.

"Yes."

You let go of his wrist. Your hand dropping by your side. Defeated by his charming looks.

He grabs the handle and gives you a smile before he opens the door and leaves.

And now you're alone. In this hospital room. Weak and defenceless.
