Chapter 2
Growing Up
(Aaliah's POV)
(Buzz. Buzz)
I woke up to the buzzing of my phone next to me.
And again.
(Buzz Buzz)
“Ugghh!”
I turned over to see who it was.
It better not be Jonghyun, or I’ll cry.
Good…..It was CL.
“Hello” I was very tired.
“Hey, gurl !.....Did I wake you?”She happens to always be soo hyper.
“Umm….no” That was a lie. I looked at the clock, it was already 2:00! Aish.
“Okay, good…..”
It was quiet.
“Has Jonghyun called you?” CL asked, breaking the silence.
“Non-stop! Why?”
“He’s been calling me asking where you are…”
“What did you tell him?” I asked, worriedly cause I DID NOT want Jonghyun to find out where I was.
“I told him I didn’t know…” I knew for a fact there was more to that.
“And what else…?” I asked.
“Nothing.....”
“CL?”
“Okay!... I told him that…. I’ll try convince you to…talk to him.”
“Why would you do that!”
“Cause what you guys have is real love! And I saw the whole thing with the girl, and you didn’t! That girl was on HIM! …Not the other way around…” I could feel the anger in her voice.
“… And Jonghyun loves you WAY more than ANYTHING in the world. I cant believe you’d actually believe he would do such a thing to you. He really loves you, Aaliah. And I KNOW you love him too”
I felt like a big piece of .
She was right. I should of let him talk to me.
I should of let him explain everything to me.
Then I wouldn’t have felt horrible these past days.
I haven’t cried this much in two years as much as I have in these last two days.
“Hello?” CL was checking to see if I was still there.
“Yeah. Im here” I said, wiping my tears.
“Are you okay?” She asked.
“Yeah, Im fine…….Why did you call.? Did you need something?”
“I just got invited to this club down town and I was wondering if you wanted to come?”
“Who invited you?” I had a guess…
“Key did.”
"I thought you guys hated eachother?" I asked
"I thought so too" She giggled.
“So, are you guys a thing now?”
“I don’t think so………….Not yet,. at least”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
“Does this look okay?” I asked CL.
“Ya look great! Now legoo !”
“Okay. Your in a rush!” I could tell she was anxious to see a certain person…..
“Bye, Ray! Were leaving…” I screamed as CL bolted out the door, with me in hand.
“What wrong with you?” She asked. “Your usually as hyper as I am when we go clubbin!”
“Im just…"I looked down. "I don’t have a good feeling.” I admitted.
“Jonghyun isn’t gonna be there. Just Minho and Key. Do you still wanna go?"
Ohhh, Well. That was fine then….
“Ohh. okay then. Lets go !”
In the back of my mind, I was dissapointed. I wanted to talk to Jonghyun.
Oh well. Im just gonna enjoy myself tonight.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
We had been in the club for a while.
CL and Key were out on the dance floor, together.
(Key Dance)
(CL Dance)
“They’re cute” I said as I slide over to sit next to Minho at our table. I wasn’t feeling good really. I had to sit….
“Yeah, they are.” He smiled. “How have you been?”
I was afraid he would ask that.
“I… I could be better.”
“Jonghyun told us….”
“Ohh. He did?”
“It really was a misunderstanding. Honestly…and Jonghyun is worried sick about you, you know.”
So, everyone is on Jonghyun's side?
“I know. I’ve been told. And he’s been calling me. Non-stop.”
“Maybe, one of these times… you should pick it up.” He looked at me. Minho was ALWAYS right. ALWAYS.
Maybe I should.
I just shrugged.
I was feeling sooo dizzy and light headed. I was only drinking water, cause I was only 20. So it wasn’t alcohol that made me feel sick.
“YAH! Come dance!” Before I could say anything, CL pulled me out of my seat, and onto the dance floor.
After a couple minutes, my head started spinning. The lights become dim and I was light headed. I had trouble keeping my eyes open.
I decided to take another drink of my water but that was the last thing I needed. I got to the last sip of my water, and felt something in my mouth.
I quickly spit it back in the cup.
What the hell?
I looked in my cup. It was a white, little pill.
I felt someone wrap their arms around my waist and start dancing with me.
“Hey, babe...”
I knew who it was. It was Jonghyun. He got closer, and I got weaker. So, I let him do whatever.
"I need to explain every.....” He stopped mid sentence.
“Are you okay?” He looked at me. Then he looked at what I was drinking.
"Oh my god, Aaliah!" He caught me as I fell.
Then…
Everything went black.
