Songs For The Soul (Jenlisa Oneshots)

Birthday Wish

Three hours, three long hours of non-stop argue. The couple who's been together for a decade found theirselves losing each other's comfort. The sparks of streetlights are brighter than what they have in their relationship. Both are suffocated, drained and tired. The night is still young and active, yet their hearts are dying away.

"I can't believe you. What you did was so embarrassing!" Jennie roared as she shifted at her seat. From time to time combing her brown colored hair. She is angry and disappointed. Lisa her wife mindlessly attacked an old friend.

The woman with doe eyes greeted her teeth. Jennie kept on bantering since they got inside the car. She doesn't want to admit her mistake, for her it was the best thing to do. She was livid and sanguine.  Her vision black and feelings heavy.

"Embarrassing huh? Just admit you don't want your boy to be beaten" Lisa rise to bait. Pushing the buttons of the accountant. Jennie glared at her sharply, fuming and about to explode.

"My boy? Are you hearing yourself!? You sound pathetic Lisa. He's a family friend. The one I told you before, but guess what? You're not attentive, and tends to forget everything important I tell. Plain stupid!" She didn't stutter.

"Yeah, stupid. Maybe that's the reason you rather hang out with him than me. Why jen? Because he's a big shot while me jobless and can't even treat you in a date?" The ash blonde provoked. The brunette gave her a distressed face.

"What the fuck are you talking about. Victim blaming? Bullshit" she cursed, hitting the car's window with her elbow. The ash blonde on the other hand is losing her temper, too.

"Tss, it's a simple yes or no question but you can't answer. Come on Jennie, don't play clean-" Lisa was cut off when Jennie became vociferous.

"YES, IT'S THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR? THAT YOU'RE NOTHING COMPARE TO HIM? THAT MY PARENTS LIKE HIM FOR ME AND NOT YOU! THEN YES LISA, HE'S A MUCH BETTER CHOICE BUT I'M AN IDIOT FOR CHOOSING YOU!" without thinking the brunette outrage. Months of keeping her mouth shout she bursted.

When the doe eyes became speechless, that's when everything sink in Jennie's head. She wen't overboard, forgot that the one she's talking to is her partner. Her eyes glints in tears when she saw how broken and trembling Lisa is.

"Baby-" before she could touch her face. Loud horns blared as blinding lights passed through the windshields. All Jennie could remember is Lisa being in shock and urgently covered the brunette's frame with her own body.

White, too bright. Jennie mumbled, every part of her is numb. The unpleasant smell of the hospital made her want to throw up. She isn't a fan of it, hating it till bits. "Oh my god!" She heard a subtle cry on her side. She sturdily open her eyes, and the first thing she saw is her bestfriend.

"Rosie..." she uttered quickly.

"I want to sit..please" she asked weakly, tears on the corner of her eyes. The Australian immediately helped her.  

"What happened?" Jennie hold her head that is pounding in pain. Her voice horse, and skin full of bruises. 

"You got into a car accident" Rosè murmured, devastated. The couple had it rough. The world hand't been kind to them. But she knows how the two love each other.

"Where's Lisa?" Her voice croaked.

"She's...she's waiting for you" her bestfriend stuttered. Jennie felt alarmed when Chaeyoung smiled at her sadly, nevertheless guided her to a wheelchair. On their way outside she gave Jennie a water.

In the end of the hall, the brunette's brow furrowed when she saw her parents and Lisa's. Her mother run to her and embraced her, her father kissed her head several times. On the hand, the Manoban's are still recovering seeing Jennie.

"Sweetie, are you ok? Do anything hurt, tell mo-" she stopped her mother.

"Where's Lisa, I want to see her" she plead. Jennie felt a lump on her throat when all of them became pale as paper. No one is uttering a word.

"Mom, I want to see my wife. Please take me to her." But instead of agreeing, her mother hid her face on her husband's chest. Jennie couldn't understand and diverted to Lisa's parents. "Mommy, where's Lis. I want to be by her side when she wakes up." she said. The woman walked to her and cuffed her face. With tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I'll bring you to her" the smile on the brunette's face is disheartening. The mother of Lisa took the wheelchair handle from Roseanne and nod at her. Jennie looked back to tell her to wait, but her face crunched when she saw how her bestfriend leaned on the wall and broke down.

Her heart is beating in unusual pace. Her tears pouring like rain. Knees weak, hands shaking and worried mind. Her assumptions were confirmed when  she saw the morgue sign.

"Mommy" she called Lisa's mother. Gripping her hand so tight. Why do they brought her here? She tried to calm herself.

"I'm Lalisa Monoban's mother, and she's her wife. Can we go inside?" The older woman whimpered. The nurse nodded and opened the door for them. Jennie's face crumpled when she saw what's inside. Silver and whites, cold and lifeless.

The woman assisted Jennie to stand, and the brunette's heart sank deeper when she saw a tag hanging low.

"No" The brunette whispered, unable to comprehend everything. She didn't realized that the nurse remove the sheet. Her beautiful wife's face became less pretty. Not because of the bruises, but because the smile is long gone.

Jennie was hesitant to come close, but seeing her laying and unresponsive shattered her. "No, LILI!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Hugging Lisa's body and rested her head on her chest. "WAKE UP LILI, I'M HERE, NINI IS HERE. WAKE UP! DON'T YOU DARE PULL A PRANK ON ME MANOBAN! PLEASE BABY, I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU" she said repeatedly kissing Lisa's forehead.

She kept on shaking Lisa's body but it was already to late. "Don't leave me, baby no. I can't live without you. We still have plans, how about our dreams Lisa!. We still want to travel! To have a family. You can't do this to me!" She wailed.

"I can't lose you....take me with you. I begged" she shrieked, placing Lisa's palm agaisnt her warm cheeks. "I begged"

And that moment, Jennie's only birthday wish is to have her wife back.
