Thursday.
Today was the day I went back to hell.
It was okay at the beginning.
I was actually able to pay attention for once.
I didn't feign focus like I normally do.
Being able to understand what I haven't be able to for months was relieving.
I felt like me again.
I could talk to the others and actually engage, not just communicate.
I felt like it was safe to say that today was one of my best school days.
Well...
Kind of.
While I was in math with changbin, hyun, and jisung, a girl came in and asked for me.
She said that the principal was looking for me.
Obviously I went with her.
I assumed he just wanted me to give him an update on things.
Oh how wrong I was.
I followed her until I got suspicious, I didn't recognize our path as the one to the office.
I remember going up to her to ask what happened when I was suddenly shoved to the lockers.
I heard the girl squeal and run away.
It would've made me laugh if I wasn't so paralyzed by my fear.
Dohyun.
He leaned into my ear and whispered, he sounded manic.
I hated it.
"Getting better doesn't mean you're escaping us anytime soon."
Then I felt the familiar pressure of his fist meeting my face.
Was this really how I wanted my day to end?
It was so pathetic that all I could do in that moment was freeze up.
Why couldn't I have done something.
I could've proved to him that he was wrong.
Just this once he was wrong, because I would escape from him.
I recall having tears in my eyes, ready to spill at the slightest touch.
My face hurt like hell.
But I knew that the real torture was coming after.
I should've known before.
A punch to the face was always his warmup.
Almost like a warning, a signal.
Because dohyun always gets his way.
So i prepared my mind to be completely blank.
I thought that maybe if I didn't think about it, it wouldn't hurt as much.
So in the next few moments when I didn't feel a thing I thought that it was working.
That I was going to be alright.
But it never really came.
I opened my eyes only to be met with familiar pairs of shoes.
I looked up to confirm my suspicions and I was right, it was changbin and hyunjin.
A majorly pissed changbin and hyunjin.
And dohyun is terrified.
His other friends had already left.
I would have too if I was looked at with murderous eyes.
The next thing I knew changbin was on top of dohyun.
He hit him continuously but I couldn't move.
I was stuck.
Both physically and mentally, I couldn't hear a thing.
I snapped out of it once I heard hyunjin yelling for him to stop.
Eventually he does.
Eventually.
I saw a scene I thought I would never see, and it dohyun who was injured and crying.
Not me.
"I swear to god you better get him out of my face or I'll hit him again."
Changbin huffed in dissatisfaction, he couldn't finish his objective.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it from here."
My jaw dropped seeing jisung with the principal.
Is this real?
It had to have been because in the next moments dohyun is gone, officially gone.
And I'm crying.
I feel like I've been doing that a lot recently.
"Innie what's wrong?"
I couldn't answer hyunjin.
There wasn't even anything wrong.
It was just that dohyun was gone.
He probably would never see me again.
And I don't have to worry about him anymore.
I pulled them all into a hug and in a small voice thanked them.
I wouldn't be here without them and the others.
Literally.
And now that that problem is gone, I've turned a new page and healing is written all over it.
And I couldn't be more grateful to o have been gifted the opportunity of having friends like mine.
:)
