Lost Star~Ateez OT8

Moonlight Break

Acid Tears
TW – violence, blood, death

My eyes bugging out of my face. Bang Chan standing in front of me and seconds later the rest of Stray Kids are standing behind him and oh my god they look so fucking menacing right now. Reminding myself that they’re allies of Ateez, they’re the ones taking care of Callie.
The hand covering my mouth went down to my throat and squeezed making me start coughing. The hand pushing me forward left me body for a brief moment with something sharp poking me in the side. Coughing uncontrollably, it’s hard for me to hear what’s being said

*Let go of her or else, there’s no way we’re letting you leave with her* - Bang Chan
*Out of my way, or I’ll cut open the stitches on her body from the bullet I fired at her* and I recognized the voice. It’s the driver that’s been taking us everywhere we’ve needed to go. The driver whose van I’ve been riding in every time we’ve traveled somewhere. The knife pressing deeper into my stitches and between my fits of coughing I was sobbing in pain. Squeezing my neck even more and telling me to shut up. I tried to do as I was told and he tried to push me forward again to leave the building.
Fast forward. The sound of knives being taken from their sheaths, Stray Kids lunged forward surrounding us. Felix, Jeongin and Han behind us, Bang Chan, Changbin and Hyunjin on either side of me, Minho and Seungmin standing directly in front of me
Slow motion. Hands grabbed me trying to move me forward towards Minho and Seungmin, but I screamed in absolute pure agony. Their arms around me moving me and laying me down on the ground. I looked over to see the rest of them forever silencing the driver who tried to take me. Blood all over the floor, a mixture of mine and his. Black spots in my vision, my breathing becoming shallow
I can feel Seungmin and Minhos hands on me, trying to find the source of my injury, but struggling because the bottom of my shirt and the top of Seonghwas pj pants are soaked in blood.

*I’m sorry but I have to do this* - Minho
Material being ripped opened, pain shooting through my body as I let out another scream in agony, tears pouring down my face.
*Oh shit! This is a big cut, Chan we need to get her out of here now!* - Minho
Before he had even finished I was being carried by Seungmin and Minho, my body going numb, shaking. Stay awake. Don’t pass out this time. They don’t know what you’ve gone through in the last couple days. Eyes open. Laying me across the seat of their car. Both getting in, the engine starting, tires screeching against the pavement.

~ring, ring, ring~

*Hyunjin were on our way to the hospital* - Seungmin
*Okay. We’ve informed Ateez of what’s happened, were just cleaning up and we’ll be there shortly* - Hyunjin
*You guys shouldn’t have told them, they don’t care about me anyway. You should’ve seen the cold looks on their faces*
*No! Rhea eyes open. Fuck Minho step on it!* - Seungmin
Black Out

Hongjoong POV

I had a gut feeling. Fuck I’m stupid I knew I shouldn’t have left her with the staff. Stray Kids assured me they were taking care of Rhea. I fucked up so bad. We were so cold to her, because we thought that her life would be easier without us. I’d already asked Bang Chan if they could take care of her that way she would be with Callie again. I don’t want to let her go, she’s already gotten so hurt from us failing to protect her. And here we are again, racing to the hospital to see her, I got our head manager to cancel the show and told them to tell Atiny we would perform tomorrow instead and beg them for forgiveness for not being here tonight. I hope they understand

Yeosang POV
My hands are shaking in rage, I wasn’t there for her again. And I let my dumbass be convinced that it would be better for her if we removed ourselves from her life. I should have stood my ground. I should’ve told them all that they were being fucking morons saying we should get Stray Kids to protect her instead. Why didn’t I say anything. FUCK. I still don’t know the full details of what happened. I’ll speak with Changbin when we get there.
Speeding like maniacs in the two vans. Mingi and San driving us to the hospital. Why does time feel like it's moving slower right now. Fuck, fuck, fuck! I need to see her now!
Pulling into the parking lot the van came to a halt and I’d already unbuckled myself and threw the door open and running into the hospital. I can see them in the entrance waiting area, every member of Stray Kids and Callie?
We all were running over to them to find out what happened
*WHAT THE FUCK! Chan promised me until he was blue in the face that you were taking care of her! That all of you were taking care of her! That you were protecting her with your own lives! You want to know what she said to Minho and Seungmin on the way here! DO YOU! SHE SAID YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE TOLD THEM, THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT ME ANYWAY. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE COLD LOOKS ON THEIR FACES! THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID! And now my best friend is in surgery again. I know she was shot before and now the wound is worse. Chan told me when they picked me up from the hideout! You better hope that she makes it through this! You’re lucky that Felix and Jeongin are standing on either side of me otherwise id be beating all of your asses!* - Callie
She collapsed to the ground and began to sob uncontrollably. I couldn’t move. I knew this was all of our fault for pushing her away and leaving her by herself when we went to do the show. Tears falling from my eyes. Rhea please please make it through this. I can’t lose her
