45. Tao - My Savior

@JangAeRa this is super late but I got problems and I decided to be a little selfish and procrastinate on my requests heh this story has a little truth in it haha and it is probably like PG-13....or like for high schoolers only idk just a warning...enjoy:)

you. Felt. Like. Complete. Crap. Ughh. You moan from the pain in your head. Life freaking sucked for you right now. And it probably wouldn't get any better. Your boyfriend had been cheating on you for a long time now. To make it worse, your parents were giving you a hard time; they were, sadly, getting a divorce. You attempt to think straight but the alcohol clouded your thoughts. Frustrated, you take the bottle in your right hand and smash it on the brick wall behind you. It was midnight and you were wasted in an alley way. The pain shooting from your right hand actually started to feel....good. You lift up your right hand and shine it in the moonlight. The blood looked so...beautiful. you want to cut more. to see more blood on your hand. you pick up some broken shards of glass but you stop when you hear voices coming from your right.

"heyyy" gangsters. "what is a sexy lady doing out so late at night?" behind the big gangster were two smaller ones. to you, they looked like they were newbies; the smaller ones looked more vulnerable. the bigger one walks towards you and whispers in your ear something that should never be repeated. "so" he starts. "you wanna go to my place?" he checks your body out, looking up and down, and stops at your hand. "on second thought....tao"

the guy in the bak looks up. "yea"

"clean her up."

"ye-yes" everyone leaves but this "Tao" guy. He pushes you in the car and locks the door. you cream for help but nobody comes to rescue you. about a half an hour later, the car stops and Tao pulls you ini his house.

"Sit" his commanding voice scared you so you obeyed and sat on the couch. Minutes later, Tao comes back with the first aid kit. he mutters something under his breath and takes your bloodied hand in his to clean it up and bandage it. You wince every time the cloth soaked in alcohol touches your open cut. Tao stops treating you and grabs your shoulders. He pecks your cheek and your lips once each and goes back to treating your wound.

"Yah." Tao doesn't respond, but under the light you could see his face was pink. you try to get his attention again. "Yah. Tae."

"It's Tao"

"Whatever." you roll your eyes. "why are you helpin me. aren't you kidnapping me."

"I don't know."

"That isn't an answer."

"I Just don't. Okay."

"No. not okay. why did you kiss me. I don't need your pity. My life is hell enough even without you. I'm not even loved Tao. my family doesn't care and my boyfriend dumped me." tears were forming but Tao embraces you in a big hug. Stunned, you try to break away from this man you did not know, but he wouldn't let go.

"it's okay" he whispers. "you can cry in front of me." you take the chance to let it all out of your system. you cry as Tao rubs your back trying to calm you down. After a little bit f comfort, Tao continues to treat your wound. you take this chance to question this "gangster".

"Tao?"

"What"

"Uh" you start. "Why are you so nice. you don't look like a gangster in my eyes." you trail off and look away. He doesn't answer the question. after bandaging your right hand, he helps you get up. Tao pins your hand to the wall behind you.

"Am I really not a gangster?" he smirks. "We are the only ones here. I could do anything to you." Your want to cry again. This stress was just too much for you. Tao sees more tears trailing down your cheeks and lets go of you. He turns around and sighs while running his hands through his hair.

You dare to speak. "Why haven't you done anything to me yet. Am I nt good enough for you. Is tha--"

"No." he turns around and faces you. "I don't know how to deal with you." you give him a questioning look. "I think...I think I like you." he sticks his hands in his pockets out of embarrassment. "I've never...uhh...never liked anyone before...." he covers his face with his hand to try to hide the blush. your face softens when you hear this. "I don't know what to do." he stares at you. "Or how to act..."

Maybe Tao wasn't as bad as you thought. He has feelings at least. Tao snaps back into reality. "But I can't have you. you're from another world. we've chosen different paths." You take everything into consideration. Right now, you just didn't. Care.

"Well" you start "maybe that can change." you slowly walk toward Tao. "Maybe our paths can cross if we let them." You smile a bit.

"Really?" Tao walks toward you.

"Yea" you smile. "so let's start from the beginning." you look down and back up. "Hey, I'm _______"

Tao smiles. that's the first time he has smiled. You hoped this was the right choice. No. You know this was the right choice.

"Hi ______, I'm Tao"
