He's already gone...
To Save The World
Kevin’s POV
“Hey! Kevin! Wait for me!”
“Come on! It’s a long drive!”
I dashed down the long hall. “Come on Tasia! Your so slow!” I laughed. I kept running and I looked back at her. She was
still about 7 yards away from me.
Haha! She’ll never beat me to the escalator! >:D I squeezed through the people and I looked back again. Now, she was 3
feet away from me!
HOLY ! O_O I did a double take at her and then she finally passed me, beating me to the escalator.
“Jeez Tasia!”
“What?”
“When the hell did you get so fast?” she stared at me and then smiled.
“When the hell did you get so slow?” she backfired.
“Dang, you are the same! Your still athletic and you still make fun of me! >:( “ She started laughing and then she said.
“Well I’m just happy to be me.” she stuck out her tongue at me.
How dare she! >;o
“Hey Tasia, maybe I should take you to go shopping first. Your such a tomboy! You still wear the same stuff back then too,
a big t-shirt, skinny jeans and a pair of sneakers. I can see why you don’t pick up any guys!” I stuck my tongue out at her.
“Hey!” she punched my arm.
“Ow! Jesus! That hurt!” I let go one of her bags and rubbed arm.
Well that idea backfired. -_-’ She stuck out her tongue at me again and picked up her bag, walking off the escalator.
Aww she’s cute when she’s mad. ^-^ I laughed and followed her. Of course she stopped, laughed at me and waited for me to
catch up to her. I was one of the only people who actually knew this girl. People see her as fearless, brave and a woman
who always spoke her mind, not afraid of what others would think. But deep down, I knew she was just another innocent girl
who got scared sometimes. I remember when we were toddlers, she wouldn't go down into the basement with me because
she was scared that some guy in a red mask would try to catch her and torture her.
Hehe. It took her a long time to get over that. She was just like all the other girls...But one day, she was walking home from
the food market and was kidnapped by some guys. Eventually, the police found her and put the men in jail. But she came
back an entirely different person. She wouldn't talk to anyone, she just sat on her bed looking down at the floor. When her
parents tried to feed her, she would start to cry and throwing a fit. She didn't let anybody touch her and would lock herself in
her room. Her parents thought it would be a bad idea for me to see her at first, but then they didn't think they could do
anything anymore and asked me to help them take care of her since I was her best friend. I still remember what she looked
like when I opened the door to go see her...
=====Flashback=====
She sat in a ball at the top of bed and her hair hid her face. She was wearing a white gown and didn't even look up at me
when I came in the room. I closed the door behind me, turned around and looked at her again. She looked like such a
zombie... I've never seen her like this before. She looked so miserable. I couldn't help myself and called out her name.
"Tasia..." she looked up at me and slowly she started to cry.
"Oppa..." she called for me. I ran up to her and carefully... I began to hug her. Trying my best to comforting her.
=====End of Flashback=====
After that day she didn't let anyone feed her or touch her except for me. I talked to her, bathed her, and dressed her. I even
tried to make her wear dresses but she always refused and asked to wear whatever I would wear.
Eventually, I got her to leave the room and start having a somewhat normal life. But that was then, and this is now. From what
I see right now, she is a strong, independent woman who tries her best at everything.
I stared at her for a few minutes thinking about the old days. She turned around and gave me a ‘WTF’ look and I just smiled.
I didn't look away from her though. I liked seeing her like this.
“Hey, Kevin. Your acting like a crazy mofo. Are you okay?”
-_-'...“Of course I’m okay! I was just thinking of the good times! Now come onnnnn!” I dragged her out into the
parking lot and started walking to my car.
I took out my keys and opened the trunk so I could put her stuff in it.
“Kevin…” she asked
“Yea?” I looked up at her.
“This…” It looked like she was trying to speak but the worlds didn't come out.
“What is it Tasia? Come on, spit it out.”
“This…is your car?” she pointed at it.
“Durr, I wouldn't be putting your things in it if wasn’t.” I closed the trunk and got into the drivers seat. She didn’t move,
she just kept staring at the car.
“Tasiaaa, you can worship at my car while were driving. Come on! Get in the carrr!” I laughed at her.
She always had a thing for good looking cars. She quickly opened the door and jumped it.
“Hey Kevin, you think I could drive your car sometime?” she said while putting her seatbelt on grinning like man who
just won the lottery.
“Sure, just don’t wreck it like you did my alarm clock!” I stuck my tongue out at her.
“Oh come on! I already said I was sorry like, a million times! Besides the stupid thing wouldn’t shut up!” she said
throwing up her hands.
“It was a limited edition Mickey Mouse alarm clock that my grandma gave me and you, had to throw it at the wall!
That’s why I didn’t let you sleepover anymore!” I said while starting the engine.
“Kevinnnnnn, I said I was sorrrrrryyyy. I’ll make it up to you one day, I swear.” she held out pinky finger.
“Promise?”
“Promise.” and with that our pinky fingers hooked.
Few hours later.
It was already 5 in the morning.
Only an hour before we reach Seoul.
Tasia was already leaning onto the car window and taking a nap.
This girl sure does like to sleep a lot. I wonder how long her jet lag is going to last.
She always been known to take naps. After we got out of school, after we were done playing outside, heck she even took
naps after she ate. About 10 minutes passed and I started thinking.
I wonder if she still does that really cute snore. ^-^ and right on time, started to slightly opened and she began to
breath out of . I started to laugh, but quickly covered my mouth not wanting to wake her up. She moved her head
towards me and started to snore again.
Good, she’s still asleep. Now… let’s see if she starts to talk in her sleep. >:)
About 5 minutes passed and she started to mumble.
“No Kevin, I want the kimbap…”she whined. I put my hand over my mouth again trying hard not to laugh.
“No!…Ugh… Kevin you stupid ... stupid dork…”
OMG I can’t take it anymore! I quickly burst into laughter, waking up Tasia.
“Huh? What happened?” she said rubbing her eyes. I covered my mouth with my arm and tried to stop laughing.
“Ah hem...So Tasia… I hear you want some kimbap, is this true?” I said trying to hold my lips together.
“What?... OMFG I was sleep-talking again wasn’t I?” she said slapping her forehead. I couldn't help myself and burst out
into laughter again.
“Hahaha! I was driving and you were-HAHA! Your face it was so-HAHAHA!" I said pointing at her face.
"OMG I can’t breath! HAHAHAHAHA!” For some reason Tasia started to laugh with me.
“Okay! I get it! I say weird crap when I’m asleep! HAHA! But, pay attention to the rode before you get us both
killed! HAHA!” she laughed while holding her tummy.
After another 5 minutes of laughing hysterically, we both got a hold of ourselves and started talking about how life has been.
She told me that since I moved away from America, she felt really lonely at school. I started to feel bad about leaving her
alone, but then she told me how she got into a private school and how she met this girl named Nadia Grondzik, who
became her best friend before she too, had to leave.
“Wow, you must have learned so much stuff at private school huh?”
“Yep, I’m really glad I got to go too. I don’t think I would have lasted in our old school any longer.” she laughed. I
started to regret leaving her alone, all by herself.
“I’m sorry Tasia… If i'd known that you’d be left so lonely I wouldn’t have moved.”
“Nahh, it’s okay Kevin. If you didn’t leave I would have never gone to private school and I wouldn’t have met
Nadia. Basically, you leaving, was a blessing in disguise.” she lightly punched my arm and smiled.
I looked out the window and noticed all the buildings.
“WOO! Finally! We’re in Seoul!” I told her. She started looking out the window and gasped in amusement.
“WOW! Its just like how you said it was!” she said pointing at everything.
“Mmmm…we finally get to have some icecream!” I started jumping in my chair.
“So you weren’t kidding at the airport? We’re really going to get icecream this early in the morning?” she looked
back at me with her eyes.
“Foshow! Who wouldn’t want icecream in the morning? Besides I know a store that’s opened 24/7.” I took a left
and went into a parking lot.
We got out of the car and walked into the icecream store.
“So what do you wanna get Tasia?”
“Uhmm… a waffle bowl with green tea, vanilla, and mint chocolate-chip... and add some chocolate syrup on top.
Oh! Oh!And fresh cut strawberries! Don’t forget those!” she said hopping up and down.
“Awww your so cute Tasia! ^-^ you love icecream like fat kids love cake!!” we both laughed and ordered our
icecream. I got a vanilla cone and she got her… whatever the hell she ordered. We started walking down the steet when we
saw a huge bus slam into a car.
We both looked at each other, dropped our icecream ran to go help. She ran faster than me and made it to the car first so I
decided to take care of the people on the bus. I forcefully opened the sliding door and saw that the bus driver was hanging
in his seat with blood all over him, and under him was a young girl laying down in the isle. I climbed up to her body and
noticed that she had awful bruises all over her body. I carefully picked her up bridal style and started walking out of the bus,
but before I left I needed everyone on the bus to get off.
“Everyone! I need you to evacuate the bus immediately!” I walked off the bus and carried this girl to Tasia. The girls
from the car were already outside and Tasia was checking their pulses and slapping their faces, desperately trying to wake
them up. One of the girls looked like she was in bad condition and the other girl was soaked in blood. Tasia looked up at
me and her eyes grew wide.
“Nadia!” she screamed. I looked down at the girl I was holding.
So she's the one who looked after her. Tasia quickly stood up and I passed the body to her.
“I’ll be back. There’s one more person I need to get.” I told her and ran back into the bus and dragged the old bus driver
out. I took his wrist and checked his pulse… Nothing.
Damn....he’s already gone.
