Lost In Flames (Frozen Flames part 3)

"Do I want some chocolate?"

I repeated his question in disbelief. This sporty guys, who I was sure is about to make fun of me, just offered me this delicious treat out of nowhere. Three thing to know, I love chocolate, I hate chocolate, I wasn't going to take it.

"Yeah, I mean, I have plenty."

He said taking few chocolate bars out of his pocket, he carefully placed them in front of my eyes and smiled nicely. I looked at him an awkwardly grinned. How was I supposed to act? I don't know.

"I don't think I'd be willing to take chocolate, especially from a stranger."

I said glaring at him with the corner of my eye. Surprise spread across his face as he heard my words, but at least that made him take away the sweet temptations of the chocolate bars. I was sure that one more moment and I would have given up.

"Stranger?"

He questioned my ability to see and recognize people. I looked at him once more and almost blacked out. What was I thinking climbing up those stares like some mountaineer climbs up small hills?

"Oh, Jimin!"

I shouted my brains finally recalling his name. The guy chuckled and nodded at me.

"Hey, I used to come at your house all the time, do you remember?"

Of course I remembered. I remembered now. He was one of V's friends, I was happy to see the guy, because we always seemed to get along. I would catch V staring at me way often than Jimin was around, so not only I didn't mind having him over I was basically thrilled to see him every time.

V learned to share my attention with someone else and it kind of made me feel powerful and I liked that feeling, because I wouldn't get that a lot. Even my little sister sometime would overpower me and I wanted to be in control at least sometimes. Of course I remembered Jimin.

"I didn't recognize you there."

I admitted with the smile. I wasn't sure if I was smiling at him and how my smile came out at all. My head was spinning so badly. I heard him laugh softly and he turned me around so I would be facing him.

"I was the kid, who fell in love with your cat. What a nice memory I have of it!"

He suddenly felt the urge to share the things he remembered about our past, but I didn't shut him up. I was glad to see the soft side of this guys. I missed so much about the people I used to know. I shut down so many friends that I knew after V moved out. It was unfair and I knew it.

"Yeah, I think she loved you even more than she loved me."

I chuckled agreeing with him.

"Do you still have the little guy? I know V moved out and all... but maybe I could come over sometime? I really miss the cutie your cat was."

Jimin carefully asked me and good thing it was night so it was dark as well, or otherwise he would have saw the shock in my eyes. This tough guy was becoming a softy over my pet cat within second. He was talking about it like some overexcited twelve years old in the pet shop.

"V came back today."

I had no idea why did that came out my mouth. I wanted to shoot myself in to the head.

"What? That bastard came back and didn't tell me?"

Jimin was thinking about my words really hard. I bet I would be hurt too if my friend would pull something like that on me. But I wasn't even sure if V actually came back today or he just came to my house now, but it was past midnight. Maybe he did come just now after all.

"I'm sure he will inform you soon."

I tried to solace Jimin. But at the same time I wanted to get out of here as fast as possible. I know that he could be considered my friend, but it was really late, really dark and really scary. I shook and my skin bewildered. I should be home by now. I shouldn't have left at all.

That was so me. Doing before thinking. Not always, of course. I had quite a lot of brains' weight in my head to do thinking for me, but sometimes I would just let my feelings take over and end up like this. Talking to someone I barely remembered or scolding myself for things that normally would be considered human-like mistakes.

"Are you sure you don't want that chocolate?"

Jimin questioned and it made me snort, I covered up my mouth and giggled. What was I thinking?

"No, thanks. I'm trying to resist it."

He nodded, but I could see the temptation in his eyes as he thought of that sweet.

"Do I need to walk you home?"

I shook my head. First of all, I was scared to spend so much time with someone that I barely knew, alone, in the dark. Second of all, I knew that when I come back I will probably have a mental break down and I don't need additional people to see my crisis.

Why was I mad at V anyways? Why did it hurt to think about him? What was I scolding myself for this whole time? Is there even the problem or it is just me?

"Yes!"

I answered Jimin's question full of delight. He smiled to me satisfied that I didn't decline his friendly offer and he helped me get down the stairs. With every step it seemed like some sort of rock would be taken off of my chest. With each step I felt lighter, happier and freer.

Every single one of those steps took me nearer my home, but at the same time they let my thoughts fly away from me and clear my head. The moon showed its face from under the clouds and smiled at me just like Jimin few seconds ago. I smiled back at my old friend the moon and silently thanked for making this so easy for me.

This whole time, so many minutes, seconds... I lost the count, but all this time I was feeling guilty for no apparent reason and I was blaming V for leaving me, then in reality he actually gave me space that I needed so much.

I couldn't understand how I could have been so blind. All this time I wasn't falling down deeper in to this endless black whole. I was walking to the light and I have finally escaped my cage by reaching this light, moonlight.

Jimin helped me do that.

"Thank you."

I suddenly said hugging him out of nowhere. He stopped immediately in the middle of the street and after looking around to see if I was okay and didn't get hit by some invisible man on the head he hugged me back.

"You're welcome?"

I ginned and chuckled he had no idea what he helped me with. But I knew it will be paid back for him for doing such an awesome job.

"V!"

Shouted his name as I ran in to the house. He showed up walking from the kitchen with a mug in his hand. My sister probably made him tea or something since he had to wait for me and it was really, really late.

"I'm here."

He giggled and opened his arms to me. This time I didn't try to fight myself back I ran in to his embrace and hugged him.

"Thanks."

He nodded and silently we shared the glimpse of the connection we once had. Thanks to the moonlight. That showed me the right path, the way out of the darkness.
