(Emery)

"Okay! Take a deep breath... You're beautiful. You're strong. Your boyfriend loves you no matter what." I take a good look at myself in the mirror. My hair is straight and up in a high ponytail, just like he loves it. It takes a long time to straighten my long wavy brown hair but it's definitely worth it! <3 My lips have a bright pink lip gloss, that works really great with my dress. Or does it? Maybe I should go change into- what would I possibly wear that would match better then this? I've already changed four times. Why am I so nervous? It's not like this is my first date. We've been dating for five months. 

I should call my best friend Adam, he'd know what I should do. I run out of the bathroom, down the very short hallway into my bedroom, and flop down in the middle of my bed. I call him and all I get is the answering machine. I really wish I could talk to him. Oh, we'll. Nothing I can do. I wonder if he's okay? I decide to write him a quick text message telling him to contact me as soon as he can. 

I've some time before I should leave, I decide to go mess around on the computer. Chuckling, thinking about the very weird person I was talking to last night. 

 

POV Change------------------

 

(Kevin) 

Where am I? I've been here before. It feels just as nice and warm as I remember.  The sun is shining down on my shoulders. I wish I could stay like this forever. Just me, alone in this world, like always. Wait, someone is walking next to me. It's a girl, I'm guessing from her height and hair.  I can't seem to see her face. She just said something I couldn't make out. 

"What?" 

Just as she's turning to face me, to repeat what she said, I hear a familiar voice. Pulling me right out of my dream. 

"Kevin-hyung!"

"What did you do that for?! Now I may never get to see her face!" I scream as I whip around to see a very shocked and scared Dongho. 

"Oh my gosh! I'm really sorry. I don't know why I did that..."

"I-it's fine! I was just a little surprised, that's all." He puts on a very fake smile and I can tell he's lying. 

"Ah, hyung. You should probably go get ready. We have to leave soon." 

"Thanks Dongho!" I put on the most convincing smile I can muster. I just hope it's enough, as I dash out of the room. I arrive over at the bathroom just as leader Soohyun-hyung is leaving. 

"Good morning hyung~!" I yell as I dash into the bathroom, close and lock door. I slowly sink down the the wall onto the floor near the door. 

What he heck is wrong with me? Just a few months ago I would have NEVER yelled at one of my fellow members.  What am I going to do with myself? 

 

Just then I hear voices outside the bathroom door. Usually I would never eavesdrop but I'm way to frustrated to care right now. It sounds like Dongho. 

"Ah, Soohyun-hyung! Can I talk to you?" Then in almost a whisper, "It's about Kevin."

"Uh, yeah. Sure."

"He's been acting really weird..."

"Weird, how?"

"We'll... Just a minute ago, when I was waking him up, he yelled at me. Rambling on about some girl."  It seemed like forever and then Dongho says,"I'd expect something like that from Eli-hyung, but never from Kevin-hyung... I'm really starting to get worried." The sound of genuine pain, clear in his voice. 

Soohyun replies, "I know. I've been hearing the same from the others... I'll see what I can do." 

 

I hear a sniffle. Was that Dongho? I would never forgive myself if I had made him cry. It takes me a second to realize that the one crying is myself.
