Chapter 18
•Two Weeks Later •
"Look it'll be much easier than you think" I roll my eyes at his absurd words, he can't possibly think that he can win her over so quickly. She seemed so whipped on Jimin, which is only going to make my part harder. He smiles at me. "You know, for a hottie like you, rolling your eyes makes you look like a rat dog." I scrunch my nose. "What the fuck." I smack the side of his head but he doesn't flinch, he just laughs. Even with that hard thud I made with my hand on his head, it didn't rattle his brain to make him take back his insult. "Is that supposed to be a stupid compliment? Cause for a cute guy like you, your words make you seem like a real dick." He smiles.
"That is not what you said when we were getting it on couple weeks back." He wiggles his eyebrows, I push his shoulder making him barely move. "Shut up! That's before I knew you were with that girl that's got my man. And plus, it wasn't that good anyways." I throw up my nose. His goofy expression quickly goes away. "For sure Jimin is better at moving his hips than you, and he lasts longer. Also, he doesn't just think about himself, he knows how to treat a woman." I buff my nails on my shirt. "You're the one who moans like a dying raccoon, at least Isaeli sounded hot in bed." My jaw drops.
"We're missing the point here! I want Jimin and you can have what's left over of that girl." I roll my eyes. "What's that supposed to mean? What's left of her?" He asks me. "I mean, you don't actually think that she's going to be okay after Jimin breaks her heart when he instantly comes to me, do you? She'll be a wreck." I explain to him. "What's the plan?" He asks, I instantly get his attention. What guy doesn't like to hear about a girl who's depressed and will need another man to heal her up? Exactly. I smile. "You said she works at the Samsung building right?" I ask. He nods. "Then that's where we're headed." I smile. "Alright." He starts up his car and we head for that stealing bitches job.

"Oh really? I think that's pretty cute." She tells me as we stand in the woman's bathroom. "Yeah, I guess he's going to take me out to dinner or something." I explain to her. She wiggles her eyebrows at me. "You gonna get it on?" she asks, she's always so into knowing about my sex life because I'm really the only one that has one out of the both of us. "Maaaaybe, maybe not." I smile. "Well, I think it's been.. how long since you've gotten any?" She asks, teasing me. "I uh-" I burp and cover my mouth, my stomach starts to hurt really bad.
"Isaeli?" She sets her hand on my shoulder. I keep swallowing saliva a lot, and I feel really sick. My throat jolts and I run to the bathroom stall. I make it to the toilet in time, I hate throwing up honestly. "Fuck." I say out of breath after the disaster. "Isaeli? Are you okay?" I hear from behind the stall door. "Ugh, I don't know." I stand up, my legs feeling a bit weak. Gena holds the door open and I walk over to the sink and rinse my mouth. "Is your shift over?" Gena asks me as she sets her hand on my back trying to sooth me.
"Yes, thank God.." I fix my hair. "So you should go home." She says, I nod quickly in agreement. "Right ahead of you, I just need to text Jimin so he can come pick me up." She raises an eyebrow and I lean against the counter of the long sink waiting to see what she's going to say. "Can Jimin be the cause of this sickness?" She asks and the idea seems completely outrageous . "What? N-No, what are you implying?" I walk up to her. She shrugs and leans against the sink too. "Maybe there's a bun in the-" ,"Don't say it, Jimin and I are always making sure to that we're..."
My thought trails off, I start to think about the last time we were intimate, at the beach. My heart pounds in my chest and I find my eyes starting to tear up. "Isaeli, what's wrong?" I cover my mouth and I begin to cry, Gena becomes very concerned. "What's wrong?" She asks again and hugs me. "I think you're right, I'm pregnant." I cry, I'm terrified. "It's okay.", "Jimin is going to hate me for forgetting to take the morning after pill. I forgot to buy it, I forgot to take it. He's going to hate me." I find myself fumbling over my words. "Isaeli, no.. from what I've heard about him, he sees like he would understand." I shake my head, "I told him not to worry about it, he was so concerned when he accidentally finished inside me. I told him that I'd get the pill, I told him that we're adults and that we can handle it." I feel my body shake.
I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life like I am right now. "Gena, he trusted me and I let him down." I sob. "Isaeli.." She whispers, I can't stop crying. "It's going to be okay.. okay?" She asks, "And if it's not?" I whisper. "Well, I'm your friend and I'll be here if it doesn't work out. It was just a small mistake, it's okay. Everyone makes mistakes." I slowly pull away from her and I grab a tissue from the tissue box that sat in the middle of the long sink. "But this is a huge one." I whimper as I start to cry again. "We've only been dating for a couple months then this happens." I cry. "Let's be honest Isaeli, you two have a lot of sex. It's a surprise that this didn't happen earlier."
I wipe my eyes, "I don't think I can see him right now.. I need time to think about what I'm going to say. And when I'm ready, I'll call him." My eyes get watery again and I can't stop being emotional, I'm such an idiot! I hate myself so much right now.. I hate that I forgot about the pill and worried more about some stupid meeting at work, this was just as important. Now look at me, there's a huge possibility that I'm pregnant. Because even though it's my first time being pregnant, I feel very weird. Deep down in my gut, I know I am. It has to be at least a week old, honestly. "Do you need me to take you somewhere?" She asks, I shake my head and wipe my tears away. I'm finally able to stop crying.
"Are you sure?" She asks. "Yes, I think I just need time to myself so I can think about what I'm going to do." She slowly nods, "Okay, let me walk you to the lobby then." I nod and we walk out of the bathroom together. It's a very quiet ride down, "Text me if anything happens or if you just need to talk." I give her a hug. "Thank you, I will." I then walk out of the elevator and walk across the lobby and head out of the building.
I'm about to take out my phone when I knock into someone. "What th-" my eyes widen. "Mat?", "Izzy?" He looks surprised, why is he acting surprised when he knows that I work here? Something's off about the way he's acting. "Are you okay?" He asks as he holds onto my shoulders. I step back away from him and dust off my shirt as if he dirtied me or something. "I'm fine." It's quiet for a while. "So how have you been?" He rubs the back of his neck. "Mat, what are you doing here? You're never around here, you know I work here." I tell him.
"I haven't seen you in like, three months." He completely ignores the fact that I asked why he's here. I look over my shoulder feeling awkward, I feel a little uncomfortable. "Um, I know." I tap my shoes. "So you got off of work?" He asks. I just nod. "Mat, you know that I don't leave the building unless I'm off of work. You know all this why are you acting so weird?", "I've missed you.." He steps toward me. "No Mat." I step back, just then I start to feel dizzy. I almost fall to my knees when he catches me, I'm in his arms. "Izzy! Are you okay!?" I feel like my eyes are going blurry. "I-I need to call.. Ji-min.."
Everything goes black.
**
I start to fidget a lot, my nails pulling on a string that is sticking out of the sleeve of my sweater. "Why hasn't she texted me?" I stare at my phone feeling uneasy. She should've texted me 30 minutes ago, she's been out of work.. what if she got overtime. "Maybe she got a ride?" I ask myself, my eyebrows knit as I think about all these things that are going on at work that I may not know about, like realistic reasons as to why she hasn't texted or called me. "She would have texted me, wouldn't she? If something happened at work." I'm confused to the max.
"Maybe I should go and check on her, not that I'm getting all clingy or somethin." I stand up and grab my car keys, I then stop. "But that would make me look clingy or like I don't trust her, maybe she worked an extra shift.. but why would she take an extra shift if she knows I'm taking her somewhere? I don't understand."
I frown at the thought. "Maybe she's just working a little bit later, or maybe she's doing last minute things in the office and will call me any minute." I nod, this would be right. "Exactly.." I walk over to my couch and sit back down. "Yeah, what are you worrying about?" I sit still for about two seconds then I grab my phone. I have a GUT feeling that something is wrong. "It wouldn't hurt to call, right?" I go to my contacts and tap on her name and call her phone.
"The person you're trying to reach is not available at the moment, please try again later." I frown and hang up. "Babe, what is going on?" I ask myself. I frown. "Fine, I'm going. It wouldn't hurt to stop by and just make sure she's okay, right?" I stand up again and this time head out to the building Isaeli works at.
**
I walk out of the car and head over to the entrance of the building, I enter and I get glares from people who are sitting in the lobby. I'm about to walk up to the front desk and ask for Isaeli when a woman comes up to me, "Jimin?" I stop in my tracks. "Do I know you?" I ask her. "Oh, I'm sorry.. I'm Isaeli's friend Gena, what are you doing here? Isaeli left forty five minutes ago." she explains to me. "What? She hasn't called me or told me that she was out of work." She looks choked up, "Is there something she isn't telling me? Should I be concerned?" I ask her. "I uh- I don't know." She answers me. "What do you mean you don't know?"
"I do know but I think that she needs to talk to you herself." I just stare at her, "But she did tell me that she was going to call you, she wasn't feeling well. She was throwing up." She fixes her hair. "What!?" I ask. She looks startled. "She left feeling sick, I walked her down to the lobby but after that I didn't see her. Have you tried calling her?" I feel panic take over me, but I calm down to the thought of her maybe picking up the second time around. "Thank you Gena." She nods and she begins to walk down another hallway. I start out of the building, maybe she's at one of the coffee shops around here or something. "Jimin!" I turn and see Gi. What the fuck? Why is she around here for? Something is really fishy..
**
I set my hand on my head as it feels like my brain is throbbing in my skull. "Izzy.." I hear a male voice call me, but I can't make it out. "Jimin?" I call for him. "Izzy.." He calls me again, I sit up and open my eyes. I frown when I don't recognize anything. "Mat?" I ask completely confused to see him. He smiles and gets up from the small stool he was sitting on. "I've missed you Isaeli." He walks over to me and hovers over my body. I try to push him off of me.
"MAT!" I slap his face. He clears his throat and gets up. "I'm sorry, I can't control myself around you." He runs his fingers through his hair. I sit there uneasy. "Where am I?" I ask crossing my arms. He tilts his head. "Are you stupid? You're at my apartment." He tells me. I frown. "Don't call me stupid, you fricken twat. And how was I supposed to know that this is your apartment if I've never even been to your apartment before? Have you ever thought of that logic? Don't call me stupid." I roll my eyes, he doesn't say anything, he sort of just stares at me. "And what am I don't here anyways?" I ask, he sits back down on the stool.
"You fainted, you probably don't remember. And I brought you here." I'm confused. "Why didn't you just take me home?" His face becomes a rock hard expression, unreadable. "Mat, why didn't you take me home?" My heart starts to pound. "Mat, why aren't you answering me..?" He lets out a breath. "It's only part of the plan." My breathing becomes rough. "What? The Plan? What plan?" I ask completely confused. He laughs. "Yes Izzy, there's a plan you silly goose." I cringe.
"What are you? Five? No one says silly goose any more." He frowns. "Do you want to know the plan or not?" I quickly shut up and stop being a smart ass. "Okay, I'm done." He clears his throat. "Well, first off I made a deal with this really cute girl named.." My heart stops, "Gi.." Leaves my lips. He smiles. "You two have met?" He asks. I shake my head. "Not officially, she just comes to the bar and harasses Jimin." I bite my lip.
"Well yeah, anyways. We made a deal that if I get you, she gets Jimin back because they belong together like you and I do." I stand up raged. "You're not getting me back! I told you more than once you fucken psycho." He looks mad. "I can treat you better than he can." He says. I shake my head. "Oh yeah! And let me guess the next line Shawn, And any girl like me deserves a gentleman?", "Oh my gosh Isaeli! You take everything to a stupid level! I wasn't talking about that song!" I force back laughter when I become serious again.
"You're not capable of doing the things Jimin has done, and he's told me he loves me and.. I love him a whole lot." I blush at the thought of his hands on my body, telling me that he loves me. "Ugh! Just stop Izzy! You're an idiot, he still loves her." I get smacked in the face with his words. "What?" I ask. He chuckles.
"Don't tell me you thought it was real, this is the whole reason for the plan. I guess at the club two weeks ago they were talking about getting back together and he needed to get rid of you, and you caught them kissing. So he needed to act like it was her who kissed him, but he kissed her. From what I heard, they were getting pretty into it, like he really wanted her." My heart starts to ache. "Awe baby, you've been played." I fall back onto the bed. "B-but, No! This is part of your plan!" I get up again. "Take me home!" I yell at him. He leans back.
"Not until you stop yelling at me." He crosses his arms. "Okay, I'm sorry. I just need answers." I say rubbing my temple as I stare at the floor. "Fine, but don't be surprised when I'm right." He shrugs and we start head to my apartment, right off the back he speeds up for no apparent reason. I grip the car door handle for dear life. "Mat! What are you doing!!?" I scream. "Just having a little fun." He slows his car down, I let out a breath of relief. I then remember my phone, I turn it on.
2 messages from Jimin 💕
1 miss call from Jimin💕
I look at the messages, a little scared to know what he's going to say. I'm afraid that he's going to tell me the ugly truth that Mat was telling me about. That he actually wants to be with Gi and that he never wanted me at all, he never loved me. My eyes water and I fight back tears, I don't know what I'd do if Jimin didn't love me at all. If he was just playing with my heart, I'd be more than heartbroken.

What if he was still at the building? It was possible right? Jimin is a very patient man, and even if he knows I'm missing he'd wait for me there. "Wait, make me to my job." I tell him, he rolls his eyes. "Fine but I'm pretty sure that he won't be there, Gi has him at her house." I know that he's lying. "No! Take me back to my job!" I yell "Fine! Fuck! Don't get your panties all in a knot." He makes a U- turn. I pick go to my contacts and call him, it rings a couple of time before it goes to voicemail.
"The number are trying to reach is not available at this moment. Please leave a message after the tone. When you are finished recording you can hang up or try again. *beep*" I take a deep breath. "Jimin, I'm so sorry baby. I'll explain everything when I-" I notice Mat looking at me and not the road. "Mat! Look at the-"
Everything blacks out for the second time today.
**
I stare at her. "Jimin!" She runs up to me, I look around for a way out. "Uh Gi, what are you doing here?" I ask, she's getting way too close for comfort. "I just so happened to be here." She smiles. "Oh, that's cool. I uh- I'm just leaving." I step back. "Liar, you're a bad liar." I try not to make it obvious. "Look! Your nostrils are flaring and your eyebrows are knit together, you're so easy read." I relax my face, damn it.. I still do that. "Ugh, I'm just looking for my girlfriend, she was sick for some reason."
I bite my lip. "Oh! That girl?" I look at her in surprise. "The girl that was working at your bar." My heart stops. "Yes, my girlfriend." She rolls her eyes, "Whatever... I saw her leave with a guy. He had like blue green eyes and has pale skin." My heart stops. "Mat?" She smiles. "Is that what his name is?" She asks. "No, I know she wouldn't unless she had a reason." I can tell she's lying, she isn't a very good liar herself. She knows who Mat is and she knows what's going on. "I uh-" I grab my phone, I check the time. 5:47. My heart stops. Miss call from Sweet Cheeks 💘 5:46. I mentally scold myself for not feeling my phone.
Voice message 5:47
I quickly click on it to listen to it. "Jimin..." Gi pulls on my arm and I yank my arm away. "Dammit Gi! I can't hear! Shut up!!" I replay it and listen to it. I hear her let out a breath and my heart is happy to the thought of my sweet cheeks. "Jimin, I'm so sorry baby. I'll explain everything when I-" She stops. "Mat! Look at the-" I hear a loud crash. I jump to the sound and the call ends. I swallow the ball of emotion in my throat. "Jimin, she's with him. She told him that she still-"
"Get out of my face, I don't want to hear your lies." I walk past her and run down the street. My eyes widen to the image of ambulance rushing down the street. I run after them, I see a car crashed into a big rig vehicle. My heart stops, literally. There's blood everywhere and I see her. "Izzy.."
