"Who's going to have full custody of the child?"

I roll my eyes at Lisa who is talking about Taennie.

"Ha ha, very funny. Guess Taennie is Taehyung's for now. It'll be a reminder of what he's done."

I smush my face into the pillow, letting it become a sponge for my tears.

Lisa climbs into her bed to join me, soothingly rubbing my back.

"He had no right to yell at you, clouded in anger or not."

He literally attacked me for no reason.

I roll onto my back and grab a tissue from the nightstand.

"Worst part is that he claimed to really not know me that well to decide if I would cheat on him or not."

Lisa clicks her tongue, "Guess that's why we don't pick up boys at train stations."

I dart my eyes at her.

She snorts, "Kidding. I just want to see you smile again, Jennie. Should I call Jin?"

Another problem.

I can't see his stupid face right now.

"No. Thank. You." I roll onto my side and stare at the wall.

"You haven't eaten all day... what do you want me to make you?" Lisa gets off the bed and stretches her arms to the ceiling.

I shake my head.

"I feel too nauseous to eat."

Break ups are like an illness.

I'm surprised they haven't killed anybody from the heartache.

Lisa twists her mouth to the side, hating seeing me this way.

"I'll make you something anyway."

I nod as I watch her leave the room.

Being away from Taehyung has given me this anxious, twisted up feeling in my stomach.

I hate it.

I stand up and head into the bathroom.

Taking a look in the mirror, I sigh.

My eyes are red and puffy, the color from my face has faded, and my hair looks like it needs a good shampoo or two.

All of a sudden, I feel a lurch in my stomach.

Immediately, I rush to put the toilet seat up and gag into the toilet.

Tears prick my eyes as I hurl over and over.

Lisa comes running into the room, eyes wide in panic.

"Oh my god! Are you okay?" She pulls my hair back and flushes the toilet.

I sob as I stand up, washing up in the sink.

I hate throwing up.

I havent thrown up since I was a kid.

Is this how bad I've been affected by Taehyung?

Lisa helps me over to the bed where she starts to nurse me. She brings over water and a thermometer.

"Well, you don't have a temperature." She says as she stares at the thermometer.

I close my eyes, still feeling terrible.

"It's just the fluctuation of my out of hand emotions."

Lisa stays quiet too long for my liking.

"You were away for an awfully long time with Taehyung..." she talks to herself.

I raise an eyebrow.

"It was just you and him...all alone...with nobody around."

I furrow my brows together.

What is she even going on about?

"Jennie?" The quavering of her voice tells me she's slightly scared.

"Could you...be pregnant?"

My eyes widen.

Abruptly, I sit up and stare at her with wide eyes.

Flashbacks of the many nights Taehyung and I have shared play in my head.

"So..." Lisa says as she cracks a smile.

"Who's going to have full custody of the child?"
