LISA'S POV
"What are you doing here?" I asked my mother as she stands in front of me
"Can't I want to see my daughter?" She replied
"No, after how you treated me the last time. Plus it's almost been a week since I left home and you never even tried to find me" I said coldly
"Well, I am...I am here now. Aren't...Aren't I?" she said slurring her words and stumbling
I scoff at her "No, you're drunk and you probably found me by accident. You work in the bar next to the mall so it's not hard to figure out"
"Stop being a brat, you're killing my buzz" she replied trying to hang on to a bookshelf so she doesn't fall
"Why are you here? Is it the money you want? I don't have any to give to you, I quit my job"
"YOU WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT! What about rent and food?" She asked angrily
"Figure it out yourself," I said walking away
"Where do you think you're going?" She asked following me
"I'm going to find my girlfriend, she actually cares about me and doesn't just talk to me for money" I replied looking around for Jennie
"A girlfriend? When did you get a girlfriend? Is she the one you are staying with?" Mom questioned as she staggers after me
"What does it matter to you," I said still looking for Jennie
"You know she won't always love you. She is going to get tired of you and leave you behind one day" Mom replied
I stop looking for Jennie so that I can look my mom dead in the eyes
"Jennie isn't dad, she wouldn't leave me"
"I once thought your dad would never leave too. I used to think that he loved us so much" mom said as tears rolls down her face
Her sudden reaction shocks me and I can't help but soften my expression. Normally she always tries to blame me or talk horribly about dad, but this is different
She looks so broken right now. I see so much pain in her eyes and reach out to hug her but I stop when I hear yelling
"Help! Lisaa! Someone help!" I hear Jennie yelling
I turn around and run down the aisles yelling out Jennie's name
"Lisaa!" I hear coming from my right. I go around the corner and see a girl pushing her against a bookshelf with her hand tightly gripping Jennie's wrist
I run over and push the other girl out of the way
She falls to the ground with a loud thud
I focus my attention on Jennie who is trembling, I softly grab her shoulders in reassurance and force her to look at me instead of the girl on the ground
"Hey Jennie, it's okay. I'm here love" I said as I embrace her in a hug
She continues trembling for a few more seconds before calming down
I pull away from the hug to look at her face and I pushed a strand of hair behind her ear
She gives me a small smile and I grab her hand to intertwine our fingers but Jennie flinches in pain
I glance down at her hand and see a little bit of blood. I gently grab her hand and lift it to see a little bit of blood coming from nail marks on her skin
Her wrist is also starting to bruise from being squeezed so hard
I let go of Jennie and turn around to face the bitch that hurt my girl
She's now standing up and looking at me with a smug grin
"So you're the girl she is having fun with now" the bitch questioned as she steps closer
"And you're the piece of shit that hurt Jennie" I challenge back while standing in front of Jennie to block her from the girl
"I'm her former lover" she replied smirking
"Oh, so you're the pathetic piece of trash ex-girlfriend. So glad Jennie moved on from you" I retorted back at her
"Jennie move on from me? Yeah, right. She loved every second we had together today" she chuckled trying to get a look at Jennie behind my shoulder
I have just about had enough of this girl. I angrily take a step forward as she takes a careful step back
We continue this until she backs up into a shelf and I grab a hold of her shirt to keep her in place
"If you ever hurt her again or as much as touch her again, I swear I will punch that smug grin off your face and put you in the hospital" I threatened
I hardly push her against the shelf and walk back to Jennie
"She isn't going to hurt you again"
An employee from the bookstore walks over to us "Do you guys want security to throw that girl out of the mall?"
"Yes please, tell security she is a dangerous person to be around" Jennie finally speaks up
"Okay, I will. Don't worry you guys can go if you want. I and the other employees will make sure she doesn't leave until security gets here" the guy said
"Thank you" I replied while Jennie and I walk out of the bookstore. I look around but there is no sign of my mom
Where did she go?
Jennie takes me out of my thoughts as she puts an arm around my waist and pulls me closer to her
I put a protective arm around her
"We should go get bandages and ice for your hand," I said
"Good idea" she answers back quietly
