Days gone, and now I'm here. Sipping on club soda, because she's worried a little alcoholic beverage will screw my brains. As if it wasn't fucked from the beginning. The only distraction I have at this party is my bestfriend. Gabriel. Gabriel and I have a commonly brother and sister relationship. That outsiders tend to think we're a couple that hates affection in public. But we're just friends.

"Hey day? How you holding up?" that British accent of his never fails to make my heart thump, the feeling that he's my bestfriend and will always be here for me. Gabriel was the first crush I've had in a while. Burying it is so hard. "I'm as good as I can be right now" I answer, maybe a little harsh, but it is a question I am very irritated with hearing. Most treat me like I'm on my dying bed. But this isn't true. Just recovering from a TBI.

"Hey, I'm sorry; I know you don't want anyone babying you but I really do care for you, so that is natural to me" Gabriel's arm wraps around my slumped shoulders, holding me by the heart. Sighing I slump my head in his chest. "Tell me what I can do for you" he refers. "nothing you're good"

"Wanna get out of here?" Almost like reading my mind, he doesn't say anything just sliding his fingers in between mine, being like the teenagers we used to be, we run through the crowd of drunk and cross faded rich people giggling as someone yells our names, such a blur as we passed by everyone mumbling "those kids" , the giggles of Gabriel's filling my lungs and heart. Maybe coming to this party wasn't so bad after all.

Sitting in the backseat of his car, his arm wrapped around me, as I lay my back on his chest. Pointing out stars, "you're such a nerd, day" Gabriel musters, frowning i sit up "you're the one that bought up the idea! You idiot" I fold my arms across my chest, the chills of the nightfall tracing goosebumps on my skin. Staring at the moon I begin to reminisce about someone. But their face is so hazy, but so close.

"Hey Gabriel?" I tip toe around my feelings, Gabriel sits up throwing his jacket around my shoulders silently thanking him, he replies with a soft nod. "Have you ever forgotten about someone, but sometimes certain things trigger that memory?" His fingers brushing my hair back only makes me even more nervous to look at him. Did I say something stupid?

"Yeah, it has happened, like my mother" He states, Gabriel never gotten the perfect son and mother relationship. Her addiction wouldn't let her see that her son was hurting. Gabriel ended up in the system because his dad was out of his life, and his mother was placed in rehab. His other family members claimed he was "too much work" and didn't take him in. Gabriel ended up being adopted by my mom's bestfriend just two years before being emancipated. In a way, I think we were meant to become friends.

"yeah you're right I'm sorry" I feel ashamed to even think he doesn't understand that feeling. Of course he does. "Tch, who you're saying sorry too? Because you didn't do anything to me you earthworm" he smacks my thigh earning a yelp out of me, I lift my hand up to slap him but he grabs my wrist pulling me closer to him. To tickle me, I slide down the seat trying my best to get away from him but it's no use.

"Stop apologizing for nothing you hear me?" He semi-threats me "okay sir!" I say still laughing my lungs off "good, now let's go fucking eat I'm starving"

Taehyung pov

Flicking the tablet's pen in between my banded finger, my lip anxiously in between my teeth, staring at the screen. The brigh crisp apple green button staring me down, but my nerves can't reach it. "Fun dip press it!!" Raven voices, leaning my head back in my chair I let out the biggest sigh known to the world. "Woah, sir you shouldn't have let out a sigh that heavy!!!" Raven gets up from my bed, piercing over my shoulder, she examines each slide of my webtoon comic. "teddy this is good!! Why are you doubting yourself ?" She kisses my cheek softly cradling my head in her arms.

"Oh my teddy bear, it is good sweetie! Why are you scared to post it?" She cautiously asks me
"Because I'm scared"
"Scared of what baby boy?" She ponders her fingers soothing my anxiety
"That the person that this is about will figure it out, this isn't good raven, it sucks" I groan at the end

Raven removes her hands from my hair to grab my hands she kneels down in front of me looking in my perplexed eyes "hey, listen you are amazing okay? I'm not saying that as your bestfriend I'm saying that as a decent human, I'm very truthful with you and everyone else, you are amazing Taehyung!! If the person ever was to find out about this story, it could be a blessing, all that heavy energy can finally be released, taehyung don't let fear hold you back please" Raven's eyes fills up with water, begging to pour out. Removing it with my thumbs I nod my head.

Pressing the publish button I scream which makes raven scream, her arms wrapping around my waist, the happy tears rolling down my face. If that remains to be true Raven, you'll get first props. I hope they don't read it.

Don't want them going through this pain ever again.

Walking into her house, my smile is erased feeling the eyes glued on me kicking my shoes off Wishing to head for the door. "Daisy?" My mother summons me, halting in my footsteps I look at her, the person next to her surprised me.

"Dad?" I ask, he nods his head walking over to me, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't speak. I was shocked to even see him here. "Why are you here?" I ask quite roughly, moving his hand off my shoulders I ease both of my parents up and down.

"He just came in from London honey, remember I told you that?" She softly states to me. London? He was all the way in London? "Sweetie don't be so hard on her, pumpkin don't worry about it, I'm here now, so how was the party?" He stands a distance from me enough to give me personal space.

"It—it was good, I didn't stay long though, I went out with Gabriel" I answer
"When will the day come when you ask that boy out hm?" My father jokes, triggering my cheeks to softly and slowly paint pink. "Dad, C'mon that'll never happen!!" Embarrassed I hid my face in my jacket. To which I realize why he asked about the party. I still have his jacket. "Dad!!" I yell at him, he just laughs at me bringing me into a hug.

"Oh my beautiful daughter, why wouldn't he like you? You're my twin, beautiful and independent" he kisses my head as my arms wrap around his waist. "If he doesn't than he's a demons pawn" I chuckle at his weird analogies, but never the less it made me laugh way too hard. after our three minute Huh I let out a yawn. My dad hums softly to me. "go to sleep darling, we can talk about this tomorrow morning okay?"

"Okay, but I'll only talk about it if you make your homemade blueberry pancakes"
"With strawberries in side, scrambled eggs and toast" Side eyeing him he clicks his tongue "how could I forget about the apple juice and bacon?"

"How dare you indeed!! You're a terrible father" I fold my arms, he ruffles my hair "your terrible father apologizes, he'll make it up to you in the morning"
"He better, Goodnight dad i love you"

My dad kisses my forehead and cheeks, sending me away by pushing me by my lower back, heading upstairs I close the door to my bedroom, smiling. Skipping to my closet I grab my night clothes which is leggings and some random tee shirt I got from thrifting. Grabbing my phone I scroll on the webtoon app. I read three webtoons in two weeks I'm bored I need a new one. Scrolling through the genres one catches my eyes. It's called "metanoia", frowning I pout.

"Only a prologue?, bummer, but it has to be good if it's just a prologue to be on the trending page" I think to myself. The art style was so bright, making the words almost seem so shallow in them, almost purposely. Behind every bright person or mind, there is a dark cloud just waiting to peak through. The artist is conflicted with their old life and new life. What a bit of code switching. Getting to the end the main character wakes up from their lucid dream just to see their demon in front of them.

Stating " do you wish to have the memories of your old life and forget your current ? Or rewrite your future with that one person? Old memories may not surface"

"Holy shit, that is tough" I answer, basically erase the past, or have half your future disappear. That one person has to be special. Who would you risk it all for?? , looking up at the celling I try to recall a person in my life I would give my past up for, but it's too hazy, trying to think like they hurts my head. But I know I would do it for them.

If they existed.
