Confrontation
A Fangirl's Dream*Key’s POV*
“It’s really hot today,” Taemin remarked to the rest of us sitting in the family room. “We should all go swimming!”
“Yes!” everyone agreed.
“You guys can all go ahead. I’ll let Annie know our plans,” I suggested as everyone hurried toward their rooms to change.
“Oh, don’t worry about it Key. I can tell her,” Jonghyun said.
“No really. I know you always like to be the first one in, so I’ll tell her. It’s not a problem,” I smiled back.
“Okay; well in that case, thanks!” Jonghyun patted me on the arm before scurrying off to change.
I quickly made my way to Annie’s room.
*Annie’s POV*
*Knock, knock, knock*
“Come in!” I shouted through the door as I continued to unpack my bag.
I heard the door open, but didn’t even bother turning around. I knew who it was.
“I was expecting a visit from you,” I said, finally turning to look at the old, familiar face. “You haven’t changed one bit.”
“Well I’m surprised you even remember. How long ago was it… three years?” Key questioned as he shut the door and walked over to me.
“Yes; I was fifteen.”
“You seemed so much older…”
“Well I wasn’t!” I snapped. “You should’ve respected that Key!”
“How was I to know?! If I recall correctly, we were BOTH drunk!”
“That’s another thing; why the heck would you give me alcohol?!”
“Oh, you think that was my fault? Your sister is the one that brought you to that party! I mean, why would someone bring their little sister to a college party?!”
“My parents were out of town, and I didn’t want to be home alone-,”
“Oh, because that’s the perfect excuse,” Key rolled his eyes.
“Look; it was three years ago! We were drunk and stupid, and it was just one night!”
“Yeah, one night that, if anyone finds out about, I could get arrested for!”
“And you don’t think I’d get in trouble for under-aged drinking?!”
“Not as much as I’d get in trouble for having a one night stand with a fifteen year old!”
I turned away, trying to hold back my tears of anger.
“Gosh, you make it sound so terrible Key,” I breathed.
“I BROKE THE LAW Annie; of course it’s terrible!”
“Well did you know you also broke my heart?!” Tears were pouring down my face by this time, but I didn't care.
“Annie come on! It was a drunken one night stand. It meant nothing!” Key said in exasperation.
“Maybe to you, but I was fifteen Key! I was stupid and I thought it meant everything! You scarred me for life! I still stay lay awake in bed wishing I could go back and undo that night!”
“Well we can’t,” Key snapped. “So the best thing we can do is stay quiet and pretend like we have no idea who the other is. Okay?”
He rested his hands on my shoulders, but I pulled away. Just his touch reminded me of that night. I remembered seeing the empty bottles lying next to us on the bed; the feeling of his warm body pressed against mine while his lips kissed my neck.
“Just leave,” I whispered.
“Not until you swear not to tell.”
“Fine; I swear it okay?! Now get OUT!”
I listened to his footsteps stomping toward the door, causing another memory to flash before my eyes: I was waking up in a bed that was unfamiliar to me. My arms were wrapped around his body, but slipped away as he got out of the bed. I watched groggily as he put his clothes back on. I asked where he was going, but he didn’t answer. I listened to his footsteps as he walked toward the door and left; leaving me alone and helpless.
The sound of the door closing jerked me back to reality. I turned with my back to the door, resting my hands on the soft bed in front of me. My vision began to blur again as more tears found their way out of my eyes.
I had lost my ity when I was fifteen over a drunken one night stand. Worst of all; I’d lost it to the most stuck up diva on the planet.
