The RoomMate - Chaelisa

Chapter 22

Hearing how Lisa felt brought huge amounts of sadness for Rosé and just picturing what she was like before, when she was younger and even more vulnerable.

"You're more than good enough, you're everything," Rosé said, dabbing at the thankfully small cuts and scratches on the younger girls arm. "And for whoever made you feel that you were not good enough, forget it, what they're saying is irrelevant, full stop," The older girl spoke, covering one of Lisa's hands with both of hers.

"If my parents accepted me then I would've been at home and instead of Yeri being at her friends house, she could've been with me, then she would not need to walk back and cross that road," Lisa whispered.

"But you don't know that, Lisa, you can't blame yourself for this, it is not your fault, even though you may feel like it is, it is not," Rosé defiantly said, pulling the covers up over the younger girl whose cheeks were tear stained and eyes puffy.

"I'll be right back," Rosé said before quickly running to the kitchen and filling a glass with water then grabbing a bottle of aloe vera from the bathroom cupboard before returning to the fragile girl.

"Drink something," Rosé told Lisa, handing her the glass. "And hold out your arm, this will probably sting a little bit," Rosé warned before rubbing some aloe vera in her palms and then applying it onto Lisa's arm.

"Ow," Lisa mumbled, gripping onto the bed sheet with her other hand.

"Sorry," Rosé said, making her motions more gentle and softer. "There, done. Wasn't too bad was it?" The older girl said, smiling however Lisa just slightly moved her head.

Rosé placed the aloe vera on the cabinet next to her and got underneath the covers next to Lisa, finding the younger girls hand under the covers and intertwining their fingers.

"Lili?" Rosé asked after about five minutes of the two girls laying in silence.

"Hmm?"

"I love you," Rosé whispered, hoping for some sort of reaction from the younger girl but unfortunately, all Lisa did was weakly smile and shift slightly so that she was more cuddled up into Rosé's side. Another ten minutes went by, both girls feeling slightly sleepy but it was only 05:30 so neither were ready to properly sleep.

"I love you too, a lot," Lisa whispered into the air, the words kind of lingering there and making a smile appear on Rosé's face. Both dozed off for a bit, feeling stressed and upset.

Slowly opening her eyes, Rosé glanced at the younger girl next to her who looked as if she was sleeping peacefully, so the Unnie lifted up Lisa's arm, frowning out how red it had become and littered kisses all over it.

"What are you doing?" Lisa suddenly spoke, her tired voice appearing in the room.

"Nothing, sorry," Rosé quickly said, laying back down however Lisa mumbled something that she didn't catch.

"Pardon?" Rosé questioned.

"Carry on, it feels nice," Lisa whispered, closing her eyes again with a small smile on her face as Rosé continued pressing gentle kisses on her arm.

The black haired slowly drifted back to sleep and when Rosé was sure of this, she stood up and moved over to her desk, flipping her laptop open and loading up Google.

'Courses for becoming a doctor'

Pressing enter, an untold amount of search results came spiralling through for courses in local schools and centres and the kind of things that you should begin to study, including a range of high-priced books. Sighing, Rosé pressed the first link which loaded up a page for Kwon Medical School. Grabbing a notepad, the Unnie began to read through the website, noticing that they had some open days soon to start enrolling for a new term after Christmas.
