She Owned Me

Veintinueve

LISA POV

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, suddenly intrigued at the story behind this mess

Joon Eun took her sit on Jennie's swivel chair, relaxing "Well, if it wasn't her wanting to see you, you're not in that car with your real Mom and met an accident"

What the hell is this woman talking about? I couldn't even remember some scenario of car accident in my entire life!

"She forced me to pleased your mother to visit us and tag you along. You don't like Jennie when you're just a kid because you're scared of her face, you think she's some kind of kid that could punch you anytime"

But until now I still hate her anyway.

I just rolled my eyes, didn't care if they saw it

"As the accident happened, you were alive and your Mom.. wasn't breathing anymore. I would like to tell some fairytale along with the Manoban's but you refused to see them so I guess the story would go on if you're ready"

What the fuck?!!

I groaned. I'm actually accepting that I had already a forming migraine because of these two

All the information they were spatting was too much for me to take. My heads been throbbing and I seriously needed a very nicest and peaceful sleep right now

Sleep would very much do than talking to them anyway

"Lalisa what's happening? Jennie maybe we'll talk some other time. I'm gonna have the Manoban's on hold until Lalisa is ready to take everything" Joon Eun said

Wait, what? Manoban's on hold?

I look up, supporting my head "What did you do to my Mom and Dad, why do have them?"

"They're not your parents--"

"Answer me!" I yelled

"Lisa calm down. And yes, Mom had them because they needed to pay for their greediness and immorality! For stealing everything that was supposedly yours" Jennie explained, making me understand the things that could possibly ruined the already damaged relationship between my parents and I

This body is hella heavy that I think losing a little energy would knock me out

Even if I wanted to fight back more. Wanted to stand up and prove my point and that my parents aren't evil as what they're trying to pressed here

They're just selfish but not that evil... I guess

"It's okay, Jennie. Bring my poor Lalisa to your bed, don't leave her"

Jennie did what Joon Eun told. She brought me to the room I wasn't aware was existing inside this huge office of her

I felt so weak, so drained

As Jennie lay me down her bed, I remain sitting. She put two pillow on back, I was staring down my lap, trying to comprehend everything that had happened this day

She came back with a glass of water and tried to make me drink it but end up sighing putting the glass on the table

Rethinking some information, it started to confused me.. and unbelievably wanting to know more about the untold story and dig more. Part of me wanting to know everything, lies or not

And if they're telling the truth.. what am I gonna do now?

Who needs to blame?

Or do I even have to blame others because I am so tired of dealing with people

I just wanted to be with my son and live on our own, was it that really imposible to happen?

And suddenly, I found myself crying

My fist clenching. How could I start a new life if there's a hidden story in my life and would probably going to keep me back to where I'm running off to

"Just cry there, I'll read on the corner. Throw something on my face if you needed something because I just knew you ain't gonna speak"

But minutes had passed, I'm still balling but the sobbing subsided atleast

"J-Jennie..."

She look up, waiting for me to speak again but I didn't "What is it, Lisa?"

Wiping my tears, I was about to tell her I needed to see my son in this moment but I got alerted when she stand up and walk towards me

Out of nowhere, she crawled on the bed and sat beside me, shocking me by taking my head on her shoulder, hugging me closer to her

She sighed, it was like she's been battling with her mind if she'll gonna say something or just pretend to be a hero only for this time

"We're not okay... You hate me for just me simply existing because I ruined your life. I caused you so much pain, hurting you physically... Lisa.. I maybe the villain in your own story but know that I am willing to die, just to protect you"

I don't want to hear anything like that, but in some reason.. it assure me in something I'm not very familiar with

Her hand caress my cheek, wiping the stain

Her voice was too calming that I'm trying hard to decline the soothing melody, calming me unbelievably

"I can't protect you from myself, neither letting you go. You really had no choice but stay by my side unwillingly. I don't know how to make you happy... Because I couldn't do that to myself either. I'll be honest, someone wanted to take you away from me.. wanted to kill you for power... And remember this one thing Lisa, I, Jennie Ruby Jane Kim, will die for you to live... "

I'm- speechless

So as my eyes. It slowly closing, with Jennie's comfortable warmth, and soft lips on my head

My hands drop from clutching my heart. She reached it and intertwined it with hers, I feel... safe

My sleeping eyes look up to her, she stared down at me but I couldn't hold any longer that I just close my eyes again

"Jennie... Could it possibly be.. me.. loving you back?.."

And I don't actually remember her last words as my world shut, taking me onto the darkness, again.

But... Jennie...

Your nails on my neck, I couldn't breathe

Your eyes were always closer, I couldn't move

You're my ball and chain, I couldn't have a life

That's why I asked, is there a happy life choosing the bad decision of reciprocating your feelings.. Jennie?
