Before Her (Chaelisa)

"You need to dump Lisa, Chaeyoung."

Alice barged into Chaeyoung's room the morning after dinner with Lisa and their parents. Chaeyoung was at her desk working on college applications and her sister sat on her bed. "What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the fact that you have a terrific future ahead of you and you're dating a bum. She has no plans for a future and you think that you're gonna marry her? Come on Roseanne you're way smarter than that."

"Alice could you do me a favor and stay out of my relationship please." Chaeyoung went back to working on her computer when her phone dinged. She looked at it and saw a text from Lisa.

'Outside.'

'Coming.'

'Oh you will be soon.'

Chaeyoung smirked at Lisa's last text as she got up from her desk to collect her things to go out with Lisa. "Where are you going?"

"Out with my girlfriend."

"See this is what I mean. You're stopping something that is going to further your education to go hang out with her."

Chaeyoung rolled her eyes at her sister's antics before grabbing her bag and leaving her room to meet Lisa outside. She walked outside to see Lisa leaning against her 1969 Ford Bronco looking sexy as every in her basketball shorts and tank top, with a baseball cap, clearly just coming from dance practice.

"Hey there beautiful." Lisa grab Chaeyoung by the waist and brought their lips together when Chaeyoung got to the car. "Come on, I have something planned for us." Lisa opened the passenger door for Chaeyoung but stopped when she saw Alice running out of the house.

"Wait."

"Oh God." Chaeyoung grumbled and put her head in her hands.

"What's up Alice?"

"What's up is that you need to do what's right and break up with my sister because she is too naive to do it."

"Alice!" Chaeyoung's eyes widen at her sister's rudeness. "You can't talk to her like that."

"It's ok baby, I'm sure Alice her just wants what's best for you but since she hasn't even taken time to get to know me, she doesn't know that it's me that's best for you."

"Look Lisa, I know you and I know your type. You think you're such a great person and you have everyone else around you thinking the same but really deep down you're an insecure little girl that's going to bring every one down with you including my sister. My sister is going places and you...you're not going anywhere with you're unrealistic dreams. If you love Chaeyoung as mush as you say you do, you'll let her go so she can live her best life without you."

"I'm sorry you feel like this Alice, and I get where you're coming from. I don't have the best tract record when it comes to women and I know it's very hard to make it in the industry. But I will work harder than anyone to give Chaeyoung the best life she could imagine. Now if you excuse me, I am going to take my girlfriend out on date."

Lisa helped Chaeyoung into her truck before going onto her side and driving away.

"I am so sorry about that Lisa. I swear when I get home I'm going to talk to my parents about her behavior."

"It's fine." Lisa said barley keeping it together.

"No it's not fine Lisa. She just belittled you and I let it happen and I feel so ba..."

"I said it's fine!" Lisa yelled trying to hide her emotions but her voice cracked at the end and tears started to fall down her face. "Pull over."

"No, I planned a romantic picnic for our one year anniversary and I will not let your sister ruin it."
