Realistic or Modern A long time ago, We used to be friends

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled happily at the text sighing softly as she finished up her work before she decided to make herself something to eat not wanting to forget again.

Namjoon nodded softly and ran his hands up and down her back softly "Sounds good." He said softly keeping her close to me "Will you lay with me tonight? No funny business."

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett smiled at him. “No funny business mr. Kim.” She murmured and held onto him. She’d gone to him because she needed comfort over what was happening with her brother but as soon as she had, all their good memories together come flooding back.

Jason had a shower and got into bed with some papers He was supposed to read through, eventually falling asleep with them spread around him.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Namjoon chuckled and picked her up throwing her over his shoulder as he ran to his room and falling onto the bed with her "No funny business I guess." He said before his hands found her body and started to tickle her.

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett screeched loudly and desperately tried pushing him off. “Joonie! Stop it!” She laughed “I’m gonna per myself stop!” She squeaked at him until he finally stopped and she pulled him down next to her laughing. “You’re so mean.” She giggled and rest her head in his shoulder, well and truly worn out from the day so ended up falling asleep within moments and she still had all her makeup on and her shoes but she was comfy curled up next to him.

-1 week-
Max stood in the mirror looking at herself taking a deep breath trying to make sure she looked amazing for Jason. She wanted to make sure everything went right for this. Standing outside of her house she waited for him sighing softly seeing his text saying he might be a bit late and to meet at the restaurant which she wasn't super upset about.

Namjoon stood in the kitchen dancing like a fool as he made dinner for himself and Scarlett. He wanted to surprise her with a special home cooked meal from Korea when she came back from work. He had always wanted to take her there but he never got the chance.

 

[decadent-rider]

She got home from work shortly after and sighed a bit. Jack had been home twice in the past week and only for a little bit of time and she was getting worried now about him but soon as she saw him in the kitchen she had to smile a little. “Hey, you haven’t burnt the place down then yet?” She murmured and slipped an arm around his waist.

Jason had been stressed all week at work and then the closer he got to the date the more nervous he’d been getting. They were shipping him out in a few days now. Just for a couple months but it was still far from what he wanted to be doing. He’d spent the whole afternoon in full blown panic mode and now the date had arrived he had pushed himself into a panic attack and realised he wasn’t going to be getting out of his house anytime soon, struggling to remember how to breathe and just sat on the floor in the kitchen shaking like crazy, already dressed, ready to go but he wasn’t gonna make it.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Namjoon smiled happily and turned in her arms "I have gotten much better at cooking thank you very much." He said kissing her forehead gently "You're home early, I havent even gotten to set the table with the flowers yet." He explained

Max sat at the restaurant for nearly two hours before she finally left and got in her car starting to cry her eyes out as she drove home feeling the same way she did all those years ago when he had stood her up on graduation night "I'm so stupid." She whispered to herself before she went inside her house.

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett smiled tiredly at him. “I was too distracted apparently, and it was super quiet so Lisa sent me home.” She mumbled and rest her head against his shoulder. “I’m just worried about him.” She mumbled. “You making pork belly?” She asked him quietly, rubbing his chest gently.

Jason eventually managed to calm himself down but it took far too long and he’d exhausted himself to the point where he stood up and walked to his room before passing out to sleep in his bed before he could text her he was sorry.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max got herself ready for bed and ended up crying herself to sleep feeling like an absolute complete fool for believing he would actually show up this time.

Namjoon nodded giving a small smile "Yup, your favorite right?" He asked sighing again "I havent seen him today." He murmured running a hand through her hair.

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett sighed shaking her head. “I don’t expect him to at this point.” She mumbled but looked up when the front door opened and she watched him stumble through and come into the kitchen, attempting to sit down. “Jack you Alright?” She asked going over and crouching in front of him, frowning some when he didn’t answer her and just looked around confused. “Jack hey you okay?” She asked him again, clicking in front of his face but got no response and frowned some, “He’s high as a kite.” She mumbled, standing up and heading to get him some water but as she reached the sink he fell out of his chair and started seizing on the floor “Oh! Join!” She called to him.

Jason woke up in the middle of the night, realising his mistake and immediately started texting her long paragraphs, apologising profusely for what happened and trying his best to explain himself, sending text after text.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Namjoon was turned to the stove to finish cooking. When he heard a thump he quickly turned and went wide eyed "Shit!" He yelled turning off the stove and quickly moved to try and get him to where he wasnt hitting his head

Max woke up in the morning and frowned seeing his messages. She read then through but didn't reply. She was done with it, she wasn't going to play his games. She had liked him so much but she wasn't going to be played yet again by a guy giving her mixed signals

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett frowned calling an ambulance and got a towel to pu under his head, “it’s alright jack. You’re gonna be okay. Promise.” She coaxed gently in case he could hear her. “It’s gonna be okay.” She mumbled, more to reassure herself that time. “Can you get the door?” She asked Namjoon quickly.

Jason frowned as he saw she had left him on read, sending her s few more text messages to try and get her to respond.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Namjoon nodded quickly and rushed to the door opening it for the paramedics and pulled Scarlett off him when his breathing stopped "You gotta let them get him back." He whispered confortingly to her

Max ignored all of his messages not wanting to even hear or read his excuses anymore. She had no idea of his issues with his job but if she had then she definitely would have understood. However even in his apologies he didn't mention it.

 

[decadent-rider]

She leaned into him shaking a little. “I don’t know what he took. He just got home.” She answered all their questions as much as she could, burying her face into Namjoons shirt, holding him tightly.

He continued all the rest of the day and even tried calling her, desperate to get through but it was starting to seem impossible.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max ended up turning off her phone not wanting to see his messages anymore. She was a bit heartbroken, she had always had such a huge thing for Jason and she felt like a teen again when they had started talking again.

Namjoon held her and gave his statement as well sighing heavily as they rolled him to the ambulance "You want to go on the back?" He asked softly knowinh she was in no condition to drove but he couldnt take her there

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett nodded but frowned when they said she couldn’t and she just grabbed her keys and headed out to the car to follow behind them seeing them take off with him and she waited til Namjoon got in. “I’m fine. I need to be there for him. I’m not waiting for a taxi.” She told him forcefully before driving off to the hospital, sitting and waiting with him once they arrived, holding onto him tightly.

Jason eventually got out of bed and went to make himself a drink downstairs, getting the scotch out, not caring what time in the morning it was, turning the tv on and going to try and occupy his mind with something else.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Namjoon held her close to him kissing the top of her head repeatedly "He'll make it through this I promise." He whispered rubbing her back gently

Max sat in her house with a bowl of ice cream watching sappy chick flicks and crying her eyes out for most of the day before she called Jason later that night drunk and sobbing only getting his voicemail "I cant believe I fell for you again...I was so dumb, you know I really thought we had something between the two of us..but I'm just a dummie." She slurred

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett frowned and held onto him still, burying her face into his shoulder. “I should have done more to stop him. It’s not fair.” She whimpered a little.

Jason had fallen asleep shortly before her phone call and woke up in the middle of the night sighing heavily as he listened to her phone call, heading up to bed and deciding to speak to her tomorrow, sending dalton a text that he would take lily to school tomorrow morning.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Namjoon held her the entire time shaking his head softly "Don't blame yourself beautiful. Its not your fault." He told her quietly before he put his mask back up

Max was greeting all the children the next morning giving them a high five or a hug and making sure she kept a smile on her face. Though when she saw Jason coming down the hall with Lily she frowned lightly and turned her back

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett frowned and just stayed holding onto him tightly until they called for his family and she jumped up heading over. ‘Fox screens came back with a mixture... he coded on us twice more but he’s in the icu for now.... don’t expect him to wake up and be normal. We expect a lot of brain damage.’ She just whimpered a bit but went to go see him.

Jason saw max there and smiled, sending lily off to her class then took off after max holding her favorite flowers and a box of chocolates, “Maxine! Max! Please! I just need a few minutes of your time. I’m begging you.” He told her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Namjoon followed quickly behind her and felt a single tear fall down his face when he saw all the wires and tubes shooting out of his best friend. This was hard on him too but he knew he needed to keep it together for Scarlett.

Max frowned as he called to her and turned around before he made a bigger scene "No! Im done with your games Jason I'm too old for them." She whisper yelled to him as he got close to her. She didnt really need this happening at her job right before class.

 

[decadent-rider]

Scarlett sat down taking his hand in hers and shook her head some. “I can’t .... how do I explain this to our parents?” She whimpered a little. “What if he really is completely vegetative?” She whimpered, all the possibilities hitting her at once and she sat there shaking a little.

He frowned grabbing at her wrist. “Please!” He begged. “I didn’t mean to not show... please give me one more chance. Just one!” He begged.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Namjoon sighed heavily and sat with her stroking her back gently "If he is gone then its up to you if you want to pull it or not. I will be here no matter what okay? You arent alone in this." He whispered to her

Max noticed the flowers and chocolate as well as the sincere look in his eyes and sighed takong the gifts from him "One chance, after this I'm done if you decide to stand me up." She said sternly and cut him off when he tried to set up for Friday night "No, tonight after school. You come up here and we can have our date."

 

[decadent-rider]

She just nodded and held onto jacks hand still. “He feels cold.” She mumbled and frowned getting up to get him another blanket, going to sit back down with him again, “How long do you have left on your vacation?” She asked him quietly.

He frowned and looked at her nodding, determined not to screw this up this time at all then left and went home to work all through the morning then be able to go out that evening with her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Namjoon frowned some and gave a heavy sigh "A few days, I got the call this morning. They added a few more dates and needed me to go a bit earlier." He explained glancing at her hopimg she wouldnt be mad "I was going to tell you at dinner."

Max sat in her room after class had ended giving a small smile when she saw Jason text her to let her know he was there. She walked out and looked at him holding her chocolates but decided to leave the flowers in the classroom "Good Evening Mr.Dohring." she murmured to him
