Outlaws (g!p)

"I'll pray for the Manoban house. That poor Jennie shouldn't get involved." —Neighbors

..JENNIE..

"LISA!" The sound of her dad's voice booms through the walls and fear snakes its way up my back. He sounds like a prick.

"Go out the window, go!" Lisa steps over to her window and raises it. Climbing off the bed, I close the space between us.

"No, I can't leave you. He sounds really mad!" I whisper. Scared for what Lisa's dad might do to her when I'm not here.

Lisa holds both of my wrists. "Go, because if he touches you, I'll kill him. Go!"

"Get your fucking ass in here, girl!" her dad demands. I can tell Lisa is in for it, probably for missing school.

Throwing a leg out the window, I slowly slide my other leg out, my hands on the lip of the window. I can't touch the ground, and I can't really see over my shoulder to see how far down it is.

A loud bang comes from inside Lisa's room, grunts and groans. Something slams up against the wall and my fingers slip and I fall to the ground.

My body hits the ground hard. Gasping for air, I crawl to my feet, nothing is broke, but my ankle hurts. Tears filling my eyes hearing Lisa and her dad go at it brutally, I don't want to leave, but I don't want to make it worse for her either. So I take off for my house. My chest constricting in the most painful way because I know Lisa is getting hurt and there's nothing I can do about it.

Reaching my front door, I open it slowly with tears streaming down my face.

As soon as I close it, I hear the click of my mother's heels behind me on the marbled floor.

"Where were you?" she snaps.

I turn, finding her staring at me with pointed eyes. She's wearing a pencil black dress, and her hair pulled back tightly. Bright red lipstick on. She's pissed.

"I was at school," I lie.

"Funny, your school called this morning and said you left with Lisa Manoban."

My face falls. Shit!

"I had a bad day, and she just took me—"

"I don't want you to finish that sentence. I told you I didn't want you around that girl!" Dad interjects, stepping into the room wearing his suit.

"Yeah but I was—"

"You are out of that school, and going to boarding school." Mother points at me, and my jaw drops. "I warned you. You are not going to ruin your life over someone."

"Seems to be all you think about anymore," Dad sneers, and I can't help but think he's referring to Chanyeol. They're blaming me for almost being raped.

"Are you serious? I never thought about anyone up until Lisa!" My dad pinches the bridge of his nose, and my mother looks up to the ceiling. "I might love her," I confess.

"You're way too young to know what love is," my mother snarls, rolling her eyes. Tears stream down my face, and I feel like I'm being crushed. I don't know if I love Lisa, but whatever this feeling is... it's greater than anything I've ever felt for anyone.

"That's why boarding school is the best place for you. Get your head back into the books." Dad straightens his tie, his tone crisp as if he's talking to a client rather than his daughter.

I remember when my parents suggested boarding school when I told them about Chanyeol. They tried to make it sound like a great place, and safe for girls like me. It was to make themselves feel better, looking at me like a burden to their own conscience. This is what this is all about, isn't it?
