Skylar’s POV

 

I turned of my phone and ran until my legs ached and my breath was so short it was burning my lungs. Stopping I sat down at the steps of the coffee shop. It was my favourite place, umma had always drunk rich Lattes in the shop and I always loved watching her. I could remember her smell of vanilla and Lattes, every day, it was like a save haven for me.

I put my head on the top of my knees looking across the night sky. It winter so the moon was in full profile white and bright even though it was only 9 o’clock. I shivered in my thin hoodie and hugged my legs tighter not wanting to lose body heat. I looked around the pavement were the treaded on snow lay. I just sat there going through memories of Youngjae, Jongup and umma until I saw a shadow fall over me.

 

I saw a plastic coffee up at me and on it in black ink was written.

'I Will Always Be Your Hope.'

I smiled at the message instantly knowing whose hand was holding the cup. Taking it I shuffled a bit letting Hoseok sit down.

J-Hope’s POV

I sat down next to Skylar and looked up at the night sky.

“How come you knew where to go?” Skylar’s voice was quiet and tired

“I just kinda guessed, you seem to like this coffee shop a lot,” I shrugged my shoulders turning to her

“Thank you,” she said

“For what?”

“The coffee and the message,” she leant her head against my shoulders

“Your welcome, hey I’ve got a joke for you,” I shrugged making her laugh

“Go on then,”

“Knock, knock”
 

“Who’s, there?”

"Ears,"

"Ears who?" she sat up paying attention now,

“Ears to listen to you,” she lifted her head turning she laughed, “That was so bad.”

“But you laughed,” I pointed to her face smiling

“It still ,” she shivered

“Here.” I took of my jacket and put on Skylar, “You must be cold.”

 

Skylar’s POV

“Thank you, again.” I put my arms into the jacket even though it was way to big for me.

“Aren’t you cold now?” I felt guilty as he sat there in his jumper

“Don’t worry, I’m used to it.” He smiled not looking the slightest bit cold.

“So why did you run away from your brothers?” we’d gotten up since the snow started falling and were walking

“They didn’t tell my the truth,” I answered

“They lied?”

“No, it’s not like that. They just didn’t tell me what happened they didn’t say anything.”

“I’m sure you can forgive them right,”

“I don’t know, it was a big lie,”

“There you brothers it’s silly to break up over a silly little fight.” I unlooped my arm from his

“it’s not a silly fight. They didn’t tell me about my brother getting kidnapped.” His face fell as he realised how disrespectful he’d sounded

“I’m sorry, I didn’t understand-“

“It’s fine it doesn’t matter,” I sighed I felt tired all of a sudden like I’d drained all the energy out of me.

 

J-Hope’s POV

We walked the rest of the way back to her house in pretty much silence. It was awkward after the near fight because of my big mouth and stupid comments. She hugged onto the coat, “Are you going to give it back?” I smiled her

“Wait.” She delved into the pockets her face changing as she felt something. She took out my bright pink iPod.

“Nice, just my colour.” She smiled for the third time that trip

“it’s not mine,” I could feel my face going red

“I’m sure it’s not. I totally believe you.” She nodded trying to stop herself from laughing

“Seriously? It’s my little sister’s” My face was now burning as I tried to explain

“Awww bless you. I’m sure it’s your sister’s, I’m just saying nice colour.” She put it on flicking through the songs

I snatched it of her, “I think I’ll go now,” I said

“Bye,” she rose onto her tiptoes giving me a quick a kiss on the cheek.

 

Skylar’s POV

I ran up the stairs of the warehouse, I was tired and drained. I got into the shower and swapped my jeans and blouse for my Minnie moue pajamas. I yawned going through my homework. Getting out my phone, I smiled to see a text from Hoseok, again trying to explain the pink iPod. I smiled texting back.

I finished my homework and climbed into bed. Tomorrow I would figure out how to save Youngjae. One way or another
