Glitch P.O.V
June's hands move from my stomach, to my chest, past my neck and she wraps my arms around my neck. She stands on my shoes and she tippy toes. Her face is now close to mines and she looks deep into my eyes. Her big brown eyes seem to hypnotize me and I just stand stareing.
Her eyelashes flutter
Her lips slightly parted
Her body pressed against me
Her Face so close
I was afraid she could feel my heart beating.
I've lost it.
I wait still stareing.
She closes her eyes,
leans foreward and...
She topples over and before she falls to the ground I catch her. As I regain my senses I realized what just ... or almost happened. My face flushes red hot... again. Mo comes followed by the rest of the group.
"Yo what da hell happened? You stayed fo 30 minutes and you already got into a fight? Bullshit!"
"Ey! It ain't our fault! Myung-Dae drugged June!" says Lil'T.
"That's impossible! You guys were at a no drink section no one could have gotten any alcohol" Bodie says.
"It was Myung-Dae's party, I warned you guys not to get involved with him" Aubrey says.
"Well it would have helped if you told us about him! God I wouldn't have brought her here if I knew it was his party !" I scream, stuttering because I was still red as a cherry.
"Why are you so red?" Emilia asks.
"I'm re-red ? Psh N- No reason! I'm mad ...thats why."I say turning away trying to hide my face. They just shrug it off but Mo still looked suspicious. I'm holding on to June so they open the Van and I sit her on a seat and we start to drive.
"Where will she stay?"Emilia asks "I think it should be the house closest to hers"
"That will be Mo's house" "Im cool wit dat"
Damn I stay with Mo, how the sane hell am I going to go to sleep knowing she's sleeping in the same house as me.
"You know I tought she was a popular, but she got drugged by one. I guess she ain't one." Lil'T says looking at the passed out June. June's completely unconcious and she couldn't even hold herself up. So I had to hold her ,which didn't help me at all. We dropped off everyone to there home and it was just Me, Mo, and June.
"What da hell happened to her? Whydya let her drink from dat Myung-dae ?" Mo asks. "...Its my fault I'ma supposedta be that 'responsible adult' here."
"It isn't your fault...It's mine I let her go. I should have made her stay with me. Or this wouldn't have happened,"I tell him with guilt in my voice. There was a akward silence afterwards.
"Ey, Ya know, you guys had somethin goin on back der."Mo says. I looked at him wide-eyed Wait did he see what happened? Oh no!
"Uh...wa-what did you see?" I asked with a gulp,"Who else saw it?"
"Doncha worry bro, No one saw."
"Well she was drunk, she can't control herself."
"I don't tink you should take dat lightly..."
"What do ya mean?"
"..Lemme explain it like dis, The peoplz who always tell da truth are toddlers, angry people, and drunks. Trust me." I stayed silent , really eager to leave this conversation. It was silent for the whole ride back to our apartment. Mo carried June up to our apartment and set her on the bed. I guess he was tired and he went to his room and shut the door. "Doncha do anything I wouldn't Lil Man" he said. Was that suppose to mean something? He closes the door and I turn to June.
She's laying peacefully, breathing heavily. Her eyelashes carressing her cheeks. She was just the perfect image of innocence.
Seeing her somehow made me angry. I stood up and pressed my hands on the wall to keep myself quiet. I did this to her... If I was with her this wouldn't have happened. My muscles tightened and I almost punched the wall. I look back to see June still asleep. I sat next to her.
I'll never let something like this happen to you again...Never again.
I layed next to her "Juniper?..." no response...
"Juniper ... I'm sorry... Next time It...It will be different... I will protect you... "
I brush a hair out of her face. She does the most cutest thing with breathing in through her nose and out with her mouth. I wanted to stare at her forever. Woah that sounded ultra creepy ... I started to get sleepy but I didn't want to take my eyes off her. Sadly my eyes started to close. Drifting away, the place where I could get away from this world. Drift away... Drift away...
June P.O.V
I have a terrible headache and my spine was sore. I try to open my eyes but they stay sealed. What the hell happened? Why do I feel like I was hit on the head with a egg. A brick shaped egg...Made of brick. I opened me eyes to see a sight blessed upon me by heaven's angels.
Glitch sleeping face was so cute! His hair was slightly messed and his cheeks were blushing. Aw! Then I notice how close our faces were and I blushed red. I sat up quickly trying to cool my face. I look back to look at the sleeping Glitch. He's still looks adorable! Then I notice the alarm clock behind him, the time, 6:54. S***! I'm supposed to call my parents at seven! I gotta get home.
I stand and quickly write a note saying I left and Thanks. Luckily I lived close and I could walk from his apartment. It was cold , it's always cold early in the morning, and foggy. I barged into the house and called my parents. Luckily, I was on time.
*Ring~ring~* "annyeong-haseyo?Hello? Ah Jung-Hwa"
"Eomma! byeol-il eobs-eoss-eo? Mom! How is everything?"
"Not so great, Dae productions have gotten way ahead of us on sales...Have you been practicing? We have to stay for another week or so."
"Yes eomma. naega neohuideul-ege jal balanda I wish you guys well. I have been practicing. Is there anything I can do to help?"
"All you can do is practice. Behave yourself. Your teacher tells us you haven't been into it. Do you want to drive him away? Like your first teacher?..." A shocked expression came over me as I was reminded of my past.
I breathed in, "Yes... I promise it won't ever happen again."
"Good, I have some work to do. Behave yourself ,annyeonghi gyeseyo Goodbye." *Ktch-*
I put the phone down and I slowly walk towards the window. Did she really had to remind me of my...'First teacher'? I sat down and stared out the cold ,foggy window. I started to think about my past.
What happened you ask?
I guess everything started when I was four. Most people don't remember their fourth year, but I do.
...I hated that year...
It's funny how that is also the year I met Myung-dae and no he wasn't a childhood friend or anything.
Before everything, I was actually a happy child. The clueless little girl, always seeing the bright side in everything. My parents were happy and... I was happy. You see my parents own a music studio,The Hwa-Dragon, and they were quite popular. They also showcased talented people who became widely famous and at that time, big dreamers came to us for their career. Everything was fine and dandy until the Dae productions came.
They had a little korean boy my age. He was immensely popular. He was the cute little boy who could sing and act. He was the total packaged deal and yes, you guessed it...Myung-Dae. Every one came far and wide to see him perform and our customers started going to the Dae-Productions. My parents were jealous and I didn't blame them. Sadly, I became the secret weapon to get back to the top. They signed me up for violin, piano, singing .
To be honest, at first it wasn't all that bad at first. Mostly because I loved it. Especially my teacher, who taught me singing, violin, and piano. He was amazing and I loved him. Of course I learned very quickly and I was even called a 'prodigy'.
Why did I love my teacher so much? Well what's not to love about him? His dark blue hair, his love in poetry, his biker style, he was amazing. ...Oblio...That is his name but I called him 'Oppa' (what you call a older boy in Korea) . I basically saw him as my super hero. He even gave me the nickname June.
He taught me eveything about music. He taught me to love the world and enrich yourself in music. Music is one of the many ways you could express yourself. He always talks to me and the most beautiful poetic way. He loved to 'Meditatively refocus energy so as to rewire the body-spirit connection in ways which are beneficial to the soul.' He said that to my little girl brain which I didn't understand at that time. But I knew his words will help me one day and I remembered them.
He taught me how to be...well...
how to be ...Me.
I became popular and was considered a prodigy. I was invited to play in high class places such as ballet classes. This is where I met Aubrey. She wasn't exactly the nicest but she was extremely was sassy, snooty, yet sophisticated. It showed how pretentiously elegant she was. I always loved watching her, she always perfected every move. I looked up to her from a distance and the happiest day was when she came up to me and complimented on my playing. "You're really talented in playing Jung-Hwa and trust me I never tell anyone that."
I was happy... but things didn't stay like this. I learned to write my own songs. I loved writing my own songs since music was supposed to express myself. Oblio was happy for me but my parents saw it differently. I played one of my songs and they hated it. They thought it was silly and told me not to try something like that ever again. I'd never had anyone insult me before, and never my parents. I was so confused...
Did I do it wrong? Am I a terrible musician? Was who I am not good enough? People must hate the real me then...
Questions ran through my little brain. It was like this for a few weeks and I started hiding my weird, silly personality. I locked that little girl inside my heart for all of eternity. She was trapped in a place which lost all of its brightness.
No more sweet music, no more brightness, no more...me.
I was afraid...
Afraid that who I was...Will never be accepted ...
My actions became more mature and I wasted my sweet childhood.
"Find who you really are June...The world is just the canvass of your masterpiece. You have inspired me June." I look up to my sweet Oppa.
"I must find who I am. Enrich myself with the splendors of the world. " I didn't understand what he meant but he just smiled at my confusion. "You'll understand when you're older."
He left that day, little did I know that will be the last time I would ever see him. He disappeared. Disappeared off the face of the earth.
Vanished, gone, Never to be seen again...
Not only did he disappeared so did Aubrey. I never knew what happened to her. My friends became jealous and we started to drift apart. All of them, all of whom I loved was replaces by unrully fans and fake friends. They considered me as a 'prize' not a friend ,or even a person.
My parents and Myung-Dae tell me I was the one who made him leave. Myung-Dae told me I gave him to much of a hard time because I was so talentless. I gave him so much stress. My parents believed him and so did I. They hired a new strict teacher. Music was no longer fun, it was something that had to be perfected. No not just music, EVERYTHING had to be perfect.
Pressure builded on me but I didn't break. I had to prove to Myung-Dae I wasn't talentless and I did. I became popular and have a great deal of followers. Myung-Dae even started getting a great deal of interest in me. (Which I am not happy about) I succeeded and achieved many things. I even got excepted to N.B performing arts academy, which you have to be extremely talented to be in.
But despite all of this, I was unhappy. I was afraid of the real me. People will hate me.
Before my trip to Central city, I went to the mall. I was walking on the mall I saw on stage a dance crew. The Glitterati...They looked exactly the same except one had a more fenimine figure. They had flashy outfits of silver and black and crazy makeup. They danced oddly but somehow elegantly. They were quite the sight. But their style wasn't what caught my was the crowd...
It was a weird mixture of those who absolutely loved them and those who don't. There were some shouting for joy and cheering insanely. The others booed and scowled at them.
But the Glitterati didn't care one bit. They strutted royally, scoffing at the haters. They didn't think they were worthy.
I wanted that so bad... I wanted to be able to be whoever I was and not care about anything. Just like them.

From: Glitch

I smiled at the text. I am no longer that girl anymore. Glitch unlocked that little girl inside me. He found the brightness.

I got ready and headed out the door. It was no longer cold and foggy. But warm, bright, with blue skies. A beautiful day...
I walked out happy,
I walked out as the little girl who have been lost and now found...
To be continued...
-I know, I know it isn't the funny stuff I usually put. But I wanted this story to be a little deeper.
-Question from jazminewriter:What was your inspiration to write this story?
A:To be honest I really don't know. My mind just wondered off into another dimension and left me in the real world. But you know around the first chapters when June kicks over the piano bench? Yea I've done that many times when I get frustrated when I'm playing piano. In later chapters (with the extra drama) it was inspired by a song which I will mention later since it might ruin what will happen.
-I would like to thank winternightlullaby. She has given me very good advice. :D She was the one who inspired me to write more of June's past. Thank you very much :D
-Please review I would like to know what you think :) did you skip any parts? Next chapter will be special :D
