Hello! Long time absolutely no post....

I haven’t posted anything for Treat you better in months and I’m sorry, I haven’t written anything for it either, I want to but the motivation just isn’t there... I think what I want to do is go through this blog and delete the posts I’ve reblogged and turn it back into pure writing.

Maybe make a master list?

Im sorry to the people who I’ve let down that have read it and enjoyed it so far! I promise I will try and write some more!

Do other writers ever get this like, hyper-specific dialogue exchange drop into their brains and you know exactly where these character are standing and what they’re doing and how they’re saying these words but that’s all you get. You don’t have much other context and this specific moment that exists only at this time in your headspace??

Treat You Better Chapter 3

Hello my lovelies! I’m super sorry that i haven't posted this sooner. Trying to write this chapter was a struggle and to be honest I’m still not sure if i love it but i think its as good as i am going to get. 

Pray for chapter four y'all cos I’m already having writers block,

Anyway.

Chapter One is here. Chapter Two is here.

and this is chapter Three.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“No... really! Lee actually looked like he had wet himself as he ran out there. To be honest I probably would have, they are seriously scary. Especially Taehyung!” Holly stared at Mai suspiciously. “I’m serious! All in suits, probably armed to the teeth.”

“Your type of guy I’d say and since when are you on first name terms with a mafia boss?” Mai giggled as she filled her glass of wine to the top once more. Looking back at Holly she stuck out her tongue.

“What? You jealous?” Holly just blushed. “Oh my god you are! Your jealous! Don’t worry sweetie, I think he only had eyes for you”

“I doubt it, look at me” Holly gestured her hands over a body, pinching at the barely there roll of fat on her slender stomach. Mai scoffed batting Holly’s hand away. placing her glass down onto the table she looked at the girl in front of her.

“Oh c’mon stop it! We’ve talked about this! you’re bloody gorgeous and you know it. Of course mr tall dark and handsome would want to know who you are and he was so checking you out as he stood on that balcony don’t think i didn’t notice. Sweetie you may be oblivious to men’s attraction towards you but I’m not. Be glad I didn’t drag you back there you so you spend a little time together… if you know what i mean. He did look pretty upset that you left.” Holly sighed, okay maybe she was right and he was pretty nice to look at she couldn’t deny but her and him. nope she could never see it working. Holly shook her head reaching for the shopping bag full of chocolate and sweets she pulled out the strawberry laces which were her favourite. “We could always go back now, it’s not too late. They don’t close till five am… I’m just saying.”

“Nope, not doing it. They probably wouldn’t let me back in anyway.”

“I bet they would… Remember I said if you hadn’t text me when you did he was going to come looking for you.”

“No you said he was sending someone to look for me, not finding me himself” Holly waved the strawberry lace at Mai frowning at her. Mai laughed.

“Girl same thing. Fine we don’t go back tonight but we go back next weekend. All drinks on me.” Holly could only nod, a nervous feeling sat in the pit of her stomach. Could she really show her face there again, She didn’t really do anything bad, she just ran away when she got scared but anyone would have done the same. 

……………..

The next morning Holly woke up to sunlight streaming through her bedroom window, she hadn’t shut her curtains from the night before. Groaning she rolled over and reached for her phone. 

09:21am

Too Early…

Blinking she sat up remembering the night before. Too much wine and too much talking about Kim Taehyung. Pulling on her clothes she tugged a brush through her unruly hair and shuffled into the bathroom. Glancing in the mirror she smiled promising herself that she was going to make the best of the day. She thought this every morning and it kept her positive.

‘Okay, what first… breakfast’ but Holly frowned as she opened the fridge. no milk and no cereal or bread either she sighed as she opened the cupboard. “To the shops” She exclaimed into the air, pulling on her coat she grabbed her bag and her keys and off she went. The supermarket was still mostly empty when she got there only a few people dotted around. hanging the basket over the crook of her arm she filled it with cereal, bread, milk, the pretty pink flowers that caught her eye as she walked in, strawberry laces because they were her favourite and stopping at the small selection of books she picked up a random crime novel that piqued her interest.

“We’ll i’d never had taken you for a fan of crime novels” The deep voice filled the immediate air around her. Holly jumped nearly dropping the book. Turning to her right she couldn’t believe it. Black suit, white shirt, blue hair, deep brown eyes.

Kim Taehyung. 

He leaned down closer to her. “I’ve read it, its okay but I’ve read better” Holly felt her face go red. placing the book back onto the shelf she tried to pretend he wasn’t there. “You know, I’m not used to pretty girls running away from me” Holly turned to face him.

“I’m sorry” she mumbled, Taehyung smirked reaching up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

“I know. I don’t blame you.”

“Wait? You don’t?” She asked picking the book back up and dropping it carefully into the basket as to not crush the flowers.

“Your friend very quickly explained what happened. You really need to rethink your taste in men.” Taehyung laughed. Holly smiled sightly, face flushed with embarrassment and without thinking.

“Really? Rethink my taste in men? To someone like you maybe?”

“Yes”

Sometimes I’m internally like “How is that a trigger?, ” then I realize other people have different life experiences from me, they don’t owe me their story, and I move the fuck on.

Treat You Better

CHAPTER TWO:

Hi! Sorry this took so long to post, I’ve been so ill the last couple of weeks that I haven’t had the energy to write.

Disclaimer: once again. I own nothing just playing around ;)

Anyway, here it is :)

Chapter One is here

The phone calls just wouldn’t end that night and Holly ignored every single one. Every beep and buzz and every ringtone of the chorus of Bang Bang Bang by Big Bang, Holly sighed she had started to hate that song. As she put her hair up in a messy bun she grabbed her phone off the bed.

She sighed as she opened up the text messages not trusting her voice to call.

Mai: Holly are you okay? Where are you?

Mai: C’mon Hol pick up the phone

Mai: I’m not mad at you okay! Nobody is I promise! Please just call me.

Mai: The blue haired guy Mr Kim Taehyung said they won’t hurt you if that’s why you’re not answering.

Mai: I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have made a scene.

Mai: please let me know you’re okay.

The guilt set in pretty quickly, maybe she shouldn’t have ran away. What good had she done by doing it? Her apartment suddenly felt really cold. Holly pulled her pink fluffy blanket around her and glared at the screen, she began to type and then stopped and then again. she didn’t know what to say.

Holly: I’m okay, I’m at home.

It was the best she could do. Her phone buzzed seconds later. Holly winced as she picked it all readying herself for Mai’s lecture on running away. Mai always lectured her on something, but she knew she never did it to be mean, they only ever wanted the best for each other.

Mai: oh thank god, I was so worried. I’m still at the club, Taehyung told me I couldn’t leave until you replied, he said he’d send someone looking for you if you didn’t reply soon.

Holly sat back, he was really that worried? Why would someone like Kim Taehyung be worried about a girl like her? Hell Lee had been her first boyfriend in six years and Holly was only 23. Nope he was probably just worried about keeping the appearance of the club after she had seen things on the news about them a few weeks ago, Namjoon had been arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking but of course nothing came of it and nothing was found. He had an amazing lawyer after all.

Holly twiddled her thumbs before typing.

Holly: Why would he send someone looking for me? Don’t worry though I’m back at home, probably just going to hide here until the embarrassment goes away.

Bing!

Mai: you bloody well aren’t hiding at home, do not let that man get the best of you. I’m sorry I made a scene but honestly you should have seen Lee’s face, he ran pretty quickly after the look he got off Mr Kim like if looks could kill. Man! Kinda hot though....

Holly laughed, of course Mai would find him hot, all that power yep he was Mai’s type all the way down to his shiny shoes. Holly couldn’t help but agree.

Mai: I’m coming over, they’ve let me leave and I think that’s only because I said I was going to yours, I was going to anyway but they all seemed very... intrigued by you. I dunno. I’ll talk to you when I get there. I’m stopping by the garage, I’m picking snacks up, want anything?

Holly: Chocolate, don’t mind what.

True to her word Mai turned up at the door twenty minutes later with a shopping back full of sweets and two bottles of wine.

“You made it... you brought wine” holly laughed.

“You really thought the night was over because of what happened back there! No girl, I’ve got far too much to tell you and I’m starting with Kim Taehyung.”

Hi! So I was supposed to be putting chapter 2 out a few days ago but I’ve been ill all week and I’m still not feeling great.

Turns out I become completely incapable of doing anything when I get a cough and cold, please bare with me.

Promise it’ll be out soon xx

[writings-and-mumblings]

Think it’s time i finish chapter two of Treat you better. 

I’ll get writing..

[writings-and-mumblings]

Write. Write as if it’s next to breathing, with a certain fierceness- as if it’s the last thing that is supposed to be taken away from you. Write, with unrelenting passion that makes the reader fall in love and make love- with your words over and over. Because it’s a gift. Never let it fade away into nothingness and dust.

I believe writers are obliged to fall, if not for someone, at least for something.
