Livvie's POV

I woke up at nine at night.

It's still my birthday. I should go have fun. I thought.

"Well what happened to you?" Luhan asked.

"I fell asleep."

"Well you're just in time for dinner. Sit." Jin said.

"Sorry for falling asleep. I was just really tired and-" I was cut off by Jin.

"It's fine you deserve sleep. No harm. We forgive you."

"Thank you for understanding."

"Mhm."

My heart fell and my smile left my face when I saw Jungkook.

"Livvie I'm glad you're finally up!" He said. Happy as shit.

My heart sank deeper. As I ignored him.

"Ok. What happened between you two?" Jin asked.

"Wh-what?" I stuttered.

"I can feel the awkwardness between the two of you. And you guys are always so comfortable around eachother. So what happened?"

"Nothing we're fine." Jungkook said.

"Ok. Well lets eat."

"FOOD!!"  Tae yelled. And everyone came downstairs.

"So Jungkook told us you were crying what happened?" Baekhyun asked.

Jungkook looked at him wide eyed signaling for him to shut up.

"I've just been going through a lot lately." I answered.

"Tell us. We can help." Kyungsoo said.

"No. I don't want you dragged into my problems."

"Ok. But if you need anything we're here." Eden said.

"Thanks guys. Hey have you guys seen Valerie?"

"No. I don't know where she went. I tried to call and text but no answer. I'm getting really worried." Tae frowned.

"Well how about we eat then try to find her."

"But it's your birthday."

"And Valerie is a person."

We ate. Then first all of us tried calling. But no answer. Then texting, still no answer.

Meanwhile..........

Valerie's POV

My phone rang for the 10th time. Each time a different person.

"They won't stop calling me. Tae's left tons of voicemails."

"Just leave it. Our plan will soon be carried out. Either way they'll all die."

"But you said only Jungkook would die if she listened."

"You really think I'd only kill one? All of them are a threat to us and my father."

"Well I actually was going to kill the rest myself."

"This is why I love you Valerie."

"I know. So how long do you think it's gonna take?"

"Not long. He falls more and more in love with her every day. It won't take long for him to be hurt to the extreme. And once he's gone we'll kill the rest."

"This is why I love you Mark."

"Love you too babe."

Meanwhile.........

Jungkook's POV

We've been looking for hours for Valerie and no sign of her. Tae is obviously freaking out.

"What if she got kidnapped or raped?! What if she got killed?! What if all those things happened?! What if someone took her across the world as a sex slave?!"

"Tae calm down. That didn't happen." I said.

"How do you know?! Why wouldn't she answer her phone?!"

"Oh I don't know it could have died, could have lost it, dropped it in the toilet you know all the stuff that happens to EVERYONES phone."

"You're right. She's ok. It's gonna be ok."

"Hey Livvie any idea of where she might be?" I asked.

She ignored me and walked past like she didn't hear me. Maybe she didn't.

"Livvie?" I said.

Still just kept walking and looking.

Ugh! Why can't this search be over? I just want to go back home. Where are you Valerie? Why did you take off? Why didn't you answer your phone? We've even tried your house and your parents haven't seen you since this morning.

"VALERIE!!"  I called out and Tae soon joined in.

"VALERIE!!"

Still no answer. But then we heard a small whimper.

"Help." Said a female voice coming from a dark ally.

We ran towards it and sure enough it was Valerie. Tae ran straight to her.

"Valerie are you ok? What happened? Tell me." He said.

"I was taking a walk for fresh air. But- but then these big tall men were running after me and I didn't know what to do. So I ran and ran not having any sense of where I was going. Then I came to a dead end. And they slammed my head against the brick wall and everything went black."

"Valerie next time you go anywhere. Just tell me. Where's your phone?"

"They threw it and stomped on it." she said pointing to a pile of pieces of broken glass and metal on the ground.

"Lets get you home." She tried standing up but failed.

Tae and me propped her on our shoulders.

After we got Valerie all cleaned up and ate dinner. It was time for presents.

"I'm first!" Tae said.

"For Jungkook." He said handing me a new phone.

"For Livvie." He said giving her a huge box of lindor truffles.

After everyone went through it was Livvie's and my turn to give each other gifts.

"I didn't really know what to get you. I'm sorry." She said giving me a bag that was filled with chocolate and gum. With an X-box and X-box games too.

"Thank you." I said.

She smiled brightly because I liked it. "Your welcome!"

"Here." I told her giving her one of my sweater she likes to wear and the new Andy Black album.

"Thank you!!" She squealed.

"Your welcome!"

She immediately put on the sweater.

Livvie's POV

Yeah I know it's weird to like someone's sweater. But it smells like it's the sweater that smells like Kookie the most. I love the smell of Kookie!! Of course he'll have to wear it sometimes so it continues to smell like him. But that's ok I'm sure he won't mind wearing it.

If it sucked I apologize. I'm still pretty sick. And yes my Wi-Fi is still down so the only time I can publish chapters is at school.

The reason why I published chapters 24 and 25 on a Saturday was because I had all District try-outs for band. So I was at my school.

Not that you guys care or anything but guess what?

I MADE ALL DISTRCT!!

I'm so happy! Anyways stay tuned if you want to find out what happens. I love you guys that have read my book!!!!
