laying in my bed my roommate, busts into my room laying her body on top of mine "hello, fun dip" raven peaks her smile at me, opening my eyes slightly her fingertips come into contact with my nose. "good afternoon my sleepy baby" raven smiles

"hey, good morning how are you?" I ask running my fingers through her hair, her golden skin sticking to mine. usually, when raven laid on top of me she wanted to talk about something, or she needed a chest to cry on. she never liked to be vulnerable with anyone else but me because I've always told her the ways of nourishing is leaning into the uncomfortable, which means being vulnerable.

"I'm a mess taehyung" raven lets out softly, my hands rubbing up and down her exposed back," I claim i hate everybody but when I wanna forget something I'm in my exes bed, getting a quick closure then I realize he wants nothing else to do with me anymore" raven's body shivers like a leaf,"I don't know what's wrong with me, why am I searching for something I know I am not ready for" raven cries out. my hand massaging her scalp, her fists crumbling my shirt in muffled cries. raven really has a lot going on but she doesn't want to ask for help, thinking it makes her desperate or useless,

"hey,you'll be okay, I'm here, you're not a mess, you're in pain darling" I calm her, I begin singing her a song I wrote a while ago, it still had some missing pieces but overall it was pretty good and I would hate for it to be trashed. When the song was over the room emerged in silence, not even our breathing could be heard. "Taehyung?"
"Hm?" I mumble
"Will I ever fall in love?"
"Of course, everyone is destined to fall in love, it's up to the people to know what love actually is. And does this person actually love them" I mumble, her breathing shuts off for a minute then it revives.
"I'm guessing my ex doesn't love me, he just likes me"
"Yes, maybe he just wants to be friends, or maybe he's afraid to get back together, either way something isn't reciprocated" I smile kissing her head softly, Raven sits up "I wanna do something impulsive" I roll my eyes followed by her chuckle, cause I already know this will a no win situation, I'll have to go along with it.

"A tattoo shop raven?!" I question her, I knew she was crazy, but this is hysteria.
"Yep, and you're picking my tattoo, Cmon!!" Her dainty fingers slipping in between mine,pulling me in towards the tattoo shop. The smell of wet ink, and fear aroused in my nose, still holding my hand raven walks to the front desk. "Aye, raven!! You're finally back, what can we do for ya?" The guy smiles at her arrival, seems this isn't her first time doing impulsive things when her emotions arise. But if it makes her feel better, I support her, no matter what.

"Hey Alex, I'm here to get three tattoos, and this guy" she hugs my arm, to grab my attention "is going to pick them"
"Man, goodluck raven can't handle pain so choose wisely" Alex warns me followed by raven's teeth kissing together "oh suck a dick Alex, that was one time and that's cause I got it in the bone you piece of shit"

"I will once my boyfriend comes back, sit your ass in the chair and wait,also here's the flash sheets" he hands them to me, I give him a mumbled thank you and walk back with raven to the couch sitting in the lobby. Turning her whole body towards me, she hugs her knees against her chest, her platform boots printing the now ashy leather couch. "Don't listen to him okay? Pick whatever you want me to have"

"But why do you want me to pick em?" I query
"Because, it means more to me, because you obviously had to think about what you want to put on my body, and plus you're an artist you have good taste in that department" her head lays on my lap looking up at me "stop being so scared okay? whatever you pick I will love it"

Stirring my now soggy Cinnamon Toast Crunch squares, I patiently wait for my "housekeeper" or as my mother says "care-taker" to drop me off to school. Ever since I was little I've had this woman take care of me. My mother wasn't home often, and my father was out of work for business he says, something hes not even in the states. My mother doesn't think I'm good enough to drive by myself, specially after what she said happened years ago.

2011 pov

It was my birthday, I had just turned sixteen, I couldn't wait to hide out with my family. We didn't have traditional big birthday parties. And gather around to sing happy birthday. It was just me, my mother and my father. The three peas in a pod. Today we decided let's ditch the house and cake. And have a party between us at no other kids Heaven than Dave and busters. My father opened the back door for me, I smile while climbing in. He later hands me my blanket, because father is always hot even when it's sixty-seven degrees outside. "Are you excited dais? , imagine the pizza we get to have?" He tickles me making me roll my head back in laughter the tears streaming down my cheeks until my mother jabs my father in the ribcage.

"Unhand her heathen!" She bellows in a medieval Tone
"I beg your pardon? You dare talk to me like that?"
"Yes I do"

I just giggled in the back seat, they were grown humans, still acting like they were in their teenage years. After the Shakespeare play, they both got into the rightful places. Father as driver and mother as passenger. They usually take turns. Mother drove yesterday so today is his turn, father claims he got the best slot it's my birthday, and him and I are going to drive her insane with our Disney karaoke.

"What we playing first dj dais?" He smiles at me through the review mirror. "Hakuna Matata"
"My girl" he hypes me, he presses it on his phone as my mother groans at our combined crazed energy. She basically told me 'I gave birth to a twin of him' "Hakuna matata! What a wonderful phrase!" My dad and sing in unison, it was so contagious halfway through the song my mother ended up caving in and singing with us, taking on her lines as simba.

My mother picks the next Disney song and to my surprise she picked under the sea. "Mother!! Yess good pick!!" She smiled now that I'm on her side, sticking her tongue at my father he shrugs and chuckles "don't worry next one, I'll top you"

"Id like to see you try" she mocks him.

'The seaweed is always greener In somebody else's lake You dream about going up there But that is a big mistake'

Before the chorus can start where my mother and I yell just to piss father off, my mom yells at my father "watch out!!" A bright light comes towards us engulfs us to the point the scenery drowned out with it. Shortly after everything turnt black.

Four weeks later in 2011

My throat was arid,my body felt so frail and my skin looked almost deathlike, I felt as if I was stuck in a never ending dream, I didn't know who I was in my own brain. It was such tv static. The doctor walks in a pen and pad ready, with a side of a grin. "Hey, how are you feeling?" Blankly I look into her eyes unaware of what's going on, where am I? Am i alone? Who am I? What's going on? Am I sick?

"Well, I see you're in a state of shock, let me grab your mother and then you can get some rest"

It took years and years to regain my memories, well bits and pieces. Still till this day, I feel like so much Is missing , it frustrates me, I had to go in and out of therapy swallow medication that either made me want to vomit, or put me to sleep. Walking again was the hardest part. But I made it through, with the help of this woman. Emily.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, I had to clean your mothers room, her co-stars are coming today, are you excited?" Backstory, my mother is a kdrama actress, she's played in so many dramas, as a villain, a mom and sister, she's done it all. And I couldn't be more proud of her, I just wish she had more time for her daughter. Like I get that I am old enough but still. I wanna have those girls talks I missed out on.

"No not really, just another night of her telling me to talk to an actor, and be on my best behavior" hopping down from the chair I sling my bag over my shoulder. Ever since my Post-traumatic amnesia. My mom has been pressuring me to fill the gaps myself. Makes me wonder was there something in between those white lines that she didn't approve of.

But becoming a english major really set the bar high for me to just escape and attempt to fill the wholes in. Maybe one day a miracle will come and inform me.

Taehyung pov

I decided to be impulsive and get a couple of tattoos as well, Raven was surprised, but she was right, I need to stop being afraid and live life, looking at her on the other side of table devouring her crunchy taco with a sweet clementine soda in the other hand. "Can't tell if you're stress eating or you're starving"

Putting her taco down she sips her drink followed by a jumbled squelch and a 'excuse me' "would it be fair to say both?" I scrunch my nose up in a smile wiping my hands off on my napkin. "So Taehyung tell me have you ever been in love?" Raven excitedly asks me clamping her hands together

"Yeah I have, and that was the last time I fell in love" I answer truthfully and painfully. It was the first and last love I had,and I couldn't even tell her. I had to swallow the poison praying that she'll figure out I loved her. But she never did. Then she kinda just went ghost on me. I've never seen her since then.

"I'm sorry about that Taehyung, trust me you'll find someone better! I mean look at you?!" She compliments me, my cheeks changing from golden to rose, I sigh with a slight tug of a smile "shut up Raven you're just saying that to make me feel better" I grab our trash walking towards the bin hearing her feet behind me. "No! You're insane! I actually think you're really graceful!" She hits my back with his tiny balled up fists.

"Is that all?" I ask towering over her body, her throat catching air bubbles at my sudden aggression, Raven furrows her eyebrows at me now she was the one with the rose flushed cheeks "you're a goddamn flirt is what you are too" she mumbles under her breath "I heard that" I comment with a side of giggle

"Good!" Raven vexatious temper shouts at me, throwing my arm around her shoulder I kiss her head then ruffle her hair which I know she hates, we start playing fighting on the sidewalk, still in a laughing mood. I don't think I need love at the moment.

I need happiness.
