We went into a little coffee shop that is on the corner of the street

As we walk in it's somehow cozy yet open

Quite a few windows are surrounding the place and a rustic kind of look for the tables and decor

We sat down at the table by the window that looks out to the ongoing street that has a crowd of people milling along with their day

"I'll get the order, what would you like?" Tzuyu asked with a bright smile

"I'd like an iced latte please" I replied with a slight smile







Tzuyu came back to the table with our drinks and set them down

"Thanks" I mumbled taking a sip of the beautiful drink

"You're welcome" she responded with another smile

My finger traced along the run of the cup as I thought of what to say

I didn't think it'd be this hard. After all, we've been friends for years

"So how's life?" I questioned awkwardly

"Okay I guess although I liked Jk" she whispered the last part looking down sadly

I looked at her from across the table

"I loved Jennie but we have to move on and this could be a perfect way" I replied with a slight smile she looked up at me gazing into my eyes

"I guess you're right" she responded nodding her head slightly with a shy smile

The conversation went smoothly from then on talking about random things like school and what we've been doing lately

Although I decided not to tell her that I'm being stalked and Bambam found out and told the police

After all, I wanted this date to go well, or I tried to convince myself I did

I know I have to get over Jennie, it's unfair for her to go around kissing someone else

We collected our things and walked out the door

Suddenly I bashed into someone

"Sorry," I said then raised my head to see who it is

Jennie looked back at me with pain and tears welled in her brown eyes. Her platinum blonde hair is nearly pulled away from her face displaying how tired she is that not even makeup could cover

Her bags under her eyes looked worse than ever and I can't help but feel a wave of guilt wash over me

"It's okay" she replied looking at her friends who are giving her piercing looks

Her 'friends' are always bitchy when they see me and I guess that hasn't changed now Jennie and I have broken up

"Let's go," Tzuyu said taking my hand and walking away

I looked back over my shoulder at the girl I used to trust so much

She looked at me wiping an escaped tear with her hand

"Come on" I heard her friend hiss dragging her along in the other direction







For the last four weeks, I've been seeing Tzuyu but we hadn't made it official until around a week ago

At the moment I'm sitting on the sofa texting Tzuyu. She'd made me feel a little better over the last few weeks

"Hi, have you had any more messages from the stalker?" Bambam asked coming into the kitchen

"No" I responded

"Don't you think it's kind of weird?" Bambam replied fiddling with a loose thread on his black long-sleeved jumper

"What do you want?" I questioned looking at him curiously

"Well you know...ever since you've started dating Tzuyu it's all stopped" he stated

"So you're blaming my girlfriend?" I exclaimed more out of shock, I know things didn't go well for us at first but for her to stop so low to physically hurt me and my ex-girlfriend seems completely irrational

"More like suggesting that it could be..." He replied his voice going higher at the end

"You and I both know it could be"

It did kind of make sense. Tzuyu was in love with me, I rejected her then started dating Jennie, Tzuyu could be jealous

I need answers, getting up from the sofa I started to run to Tzuyu's house

Having forgotten that I'm a terrible runner I fell over a few times and am now out of breath with a stitch on my side

I should probably start running more

Going up to Tzuyu's front door I start to feel my anger rise

I started to pound on the front door giving up on even trying to be patient

"Woah Lisa are you okay?" Tzuyu asked once she'd opened the door

Some rush if frustration and anger come over me, it's like I suddenly couldn't control my actions

My hand moved too fast I hadn't realized I'd done it until it had happened. I slapped her, snapping back into reality I looked at Tzuyu in shock as if what I'd done

My hands are shaking and tears of frustration came out of my eyes. Why did I do that? That was unbelievable stupid even for me!

"What was that for?!" She demanded looking more hurt than when I told her I didn't romantically like her

Why do I always mess everything up?

"Why would you even have to ask that after everything you've done?" I exclaimed enraged

Tzuyu looked at me in confusion

"I don't understand what have I done?" Tzuyu asked calming down slightly

"So you haven't stalked me? Tormenting me for months?" I questioned confused. Have I got this wrong?

"No Lisa I haven't!" Tzuyu snapped

"You're being stalked? Have you told anyone? Please tell me you've at least told the police" she sighed

"Yeah, Jennie, Bambam, and the police but they haven't come up with anything. Well, Bambam suggested that it could have been you" I replied slightly embarrassed from getting it wrong

More mortified but I'm trying not to think about it

"What about Somi she's been busy lately and it could be anyone you might as well ask around" Tzuyu suggested

"I don't think Somi would do such a thing" I replied

"And I would? You know what I've had enough of all this drama and you not trusting me, we're over!" Tzuyu said before slamming the door in my face

It didn't hurt. I knew I could never truly love Tzuyu my heart has already been taken by Jennie

But right now I need to find Somi

Then everything might finally make sense
