Chapter Six

Is This What You Call Love?
((Before you read: 
 
I feel terribly sorry it's been so long since I last updated. I kinda had my phone and electronics taken away so I couldn't post anything. 
 
Yeah, I get my electronics taken away during the school year A LOT. So if updates are really slow that's probably why. So sorry guys. 
 
Please don't think I forgot you cause I could never do that. I love you guys too much.

Xiumin's POV 
 
I pack my clothes into a duffel bag and grab my blades from the small desk next to what used to be mine and Luhan's bed . As I grab all other necessary items of mine I decide I should get going about now. 
 
I probably need message our manager about all this but I'll just do it later. I drive back to my hotel room, silence ringing in my ears as I drive. 
 
When I get back to the hotel and up to my room I mainly just sit in there on the bed, blinds closed all day.  I didn't really do anything, except for a lot of thinking. 
 
I think of how i could have prevented this if I had just remembered our damn anniversary. I feel my phone vibrating next to me on the bed as I receive a message. I check the ID to make sure it's not Luhan and to my relief I see that it was Chen. 
 
'What happened with you and Lu?' I read, grunting at the message from Chen. 
 
I'll have to tell him sooner or later and delaying it won't do any good, so I respond explaining everything that happened between us. I told him about how I drove to the hotel and got a room but left out the self harming part. 
 
He responded with 
 
'Imma call you' 
 
I wait a few moments and receive a call from Chen. 
 
"Hey" I say quietly into the phone. 
 
"Hey sorry to hear about you and Luhan. What are you gonna do about the group?" 
 
I take a deep breath thinking about it. I don't want to leave, it's fun being with the guys all the time, but I also don't want to have to deal with Luhan and him just constantly apologizing and begging for me to come back to him . 
 
"I don't know" I finally answer. 
 
I hear voices coming from the background of Chen's end of the line their Luhan's. 
 
"Let me talk to him" I hear him pleading. 
 
"Don't put him on the phone" I quickly blurt out to Chen. 
 
"Luhan go away for right now" Chen says to Luhan but he refuses. 
 
"No i won't go unless you let me talk to him." 
 
I hear a sigh come from Chen, and noises of the phone moving. By the sound I can tell he gave in and Luhan now has the phone. 
 
"Xiumin?" Luhan questions. 
 
"I don't want to talk to you! You're an . And don't call me that thats not my real name!" I spat at him over the phone. 
 
I can practically see his hurt face and hear his heart breaking, but it doesn't bother me. After what he's done to me he deserves it. 
 
"Minseok please don't go...listen to me. It was a mistake, I was caught up in the moment I was just upset. Please forgive me" 
 
"No i cant forgive you! Not after something like that. This is the end of us go hang out with your new boyfriend i want nothing to do with you" 
 
"You don't mean it Minseok! You're just mad at me but I know no matter how much you hate me you still love me" 
 
"No I don't love you anymore " 
 
"What about our dorm? Where will you live? You can't go back to your dad!" 
 
"I'd rather be with him than with you" I scoff out to Luhan as he pisses me off even more. 
 
"Goodbye" I say and quickly end the call not caring about how Luhan's feeling. 
 
I throw my phone onto the bed and walk out of the room, somewhat slamming the door behind me. I stomp downstairs to the parking lot, where I kept my car. 
 
I begin driving around town searching for a bar of some sort that I can go to. It's after eight so it wont be weird to go or anything, which I'm sorta glad about. I just need to forget everything right now. 
 
I pull into the first bar I can find and read the name of it 'Ashby's bar' I walk in showing my ID to the guy. I quickly take a seat at the bar and look around. It's pretty empty for a Saturday night but it'll fill up later. 
 
It's a nice place though, red booths line two of the walls and a giant dance floor. Perfect symmetry with everything in the room which I seem to enjoy. 
 
"Now what would a 'famous star' like you be doing in a bar like this?" The bartender asks putting emphasis on the words 'Famous star'. I shake my head, blinking, and taking a deep breath. 
 
"It's nothing" I look at the guys name tag to read it says 'Alan' 
 
"What would you like to drink" He asks leaning over the bar. 
 
"I don't care really, just make sure it's something strong" I reply putting my head in my hands. 
 
The Alan guy quickly makes a drink and passes it to me. I take a sip of it and my face scrunches up a little. The first thing I taste is of anything is vodka, something I'm not used to but it taste pretty good I suppose. 
 
I don't question what the drink is instead I drink it while talking to Alan some more. 
 
"Then i find the making out with some other ing dude" I hear a drunken me rambling on. 
 
"Wait i didn't know you were gay" 
Alan says and I instantly cover my mouth realizing what I just blabbed out.
 
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone" He says with a wink. I giggle a little and fall out of my seat. 
 
"Whoa are you okay!?" Alan rushes over to me, helping me up. 
 
"Why thank you" I giggle/speak as he helps me up and onto my feet. 
 
"Hey it's time for us to close up and yeah I'm not letting you drive home and possibly killing yourself. Come back here you can just stay here for the night" 
 
He helps me into a back room of the bar. 
 
"I gotta go close up I'll be back there in a few" I stumble over to the bed and practically fall on to it. 
 
A few minutes later Alan walks back in the room. 
 
"Hope you don't mind I only have one bed so we'll have to share." 
 
I nod slightly watching as he kicks his shoes off before getting into the bed. I lay on the other foot of the bed so it's not awkward or anything and the drunken me passes out. 
 
((sidenote: Don't take this as like a gay thing or anything cause nothing happens between them, their just friends and such so yeah.)) 
 
It's been three months since Luhan and I have broken up. I wander the streets aimlessly in my car looking for a grocery store. I need at least something to drink and a few low calorie foods to stay alive. Which I honestly don't even care if I die from this disease anyways. 
 
I decided to rent an apartment downtown because there's no way I could go back to the dorm. I had talked to the manager and told him I need a break from Exo for a bit and I'll be back soon....hopefully. But I may not return. He wasn't very fond of the idea but whatever, he doesn't know what I've been through. 
 
I drive to my apartment and unload the small amount of groceries I got. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I receive a message from Chen.
 
 'Meet me tomorrow for coffee? We need to discuss some stuff" 
 
I feel myself actually smile for the first time in forever at the fact that Chen at least doesn't hate me for leaving the group. 
 
'Sure I'll be there what time' 
 
'Noon' the response comes quickly after I sent my message. 
 
I throw my phone on the couch and throw myself onto it as well, staring up at the roof above me. No matter how much I hate Luhan at the moment, it all feels so lonely without him. Nothing feels right with him far from me. I was actually recovering from anorexia and not caring at all, but now since he left I've relapsed; badly. But I don't care, he hurt me so I can't be with him after that. 
 
——————————————
 
I walk into the coffee shop to see something that honestly surprises me. I don't see Chen waiting for me but I see Luhan at a table alone instead. It's been three months and he hasn't changed a bit. He half smiles as he see's me which is something I don't return to him. 
 
"Why did you do this to me?" I ask taking a seat across from him. 
 
"Cause this is dragging on too long it's been three months and I'm worried about you" 
 
Why would he be worried about me? He was the one making out with Sehun while he had a boyfriend. 
 
"I saw you walk in and the first thing i realized is how tiny you've gotten. You're also wearing long sleeves and it's hot as outside you've been harming again haven't you? Also when was the last time you actually ate a full meal?" 
 
I think about it and realize its been a while since I've actually eaten more than a few bites of something.  
 
"It' none of your concern" 
 
"Well I'm concerned about you; just please tell me..." I watch his face go from emotionless to a pleading sight, something Luhan's good at. Controlling his emotions. 
 
"Minnie please." 
 
I let out a sigh before beginning to respond. "Um, I'm not sure it's been a while and for your information of course I've been harming again. It's your fault I am! It's so hard not to relapse when someone you trusted and cared about betrays you."
 
"Please eat" he says with a sympathetic voice ignoring all I said about me harming and it being his fault. 
 
"No i don't need to listen to you" I say with an attitude. 
 
"Xiumin, I know you still love me under all that hatrid you have for me at the moment,  its still there. You know I didn't do it on purpose somewhere in your head." 
 
I think back on it and realize that I have contemplated it a few times but I ignore that thought also still ignoring the little piece of me saying to forgive him already. 
 
"No i don't love you and I never will love you again"
