Jennie's POV

"What are you doing here? Go away..", I said reluctantly and quickly shut the door. I froze for a moment as I was surprised to see Lisa. I was just standing behind the door and waiting for her to leave. I looked at the clock hanging on the wall to check the time and it was 10:00 pm. I did not expect at this time she would come here to my apartment.

"Jennie..Please, I just want to talk to you", she said and kept knocking on the door.

"Just go! I have nothing to say to you. I don't want to see you! Can't you understand that?" I drove her away but she was too insistent.

"Please...Jennie. Just give me a little time to at least apologies to you. I promise I will leave then."

"I said go away! I don't need your apology. Just go home! You're wasting your time on nothing." After I said that, I ignored her and go back to sleep.

As I walked towards my room, I heard Lisa speak again. "I will not leave here until you talk to me". Still, I ignored her and didn't pay attention to what she said. Now, I'm lying in my bed but I couldn't sleep. I roll over in my bed trying to find a good position to sleep well but it didn't work. So I get up instead and go to the kitchen to drink water.

While I was drinking water, my gaze went to the door. I remember what Lisa said earlier that she wouldn't leave until I talk to her. Nevermind. She just said that but the truth is she left already. I went back to my room and force myself to sleep. I need to rest because for sure, I have a lot of work waiting for me tomorrow.

When I reached the door into my room, the doorbell rang all of a sudden. Not just once but twice. "She's still here?", I mumbled and then, walked towards the main door. Then I was shocked to see the security guard in front of me.

"Miss, I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep. But I will just ask if you know this woman sleeping here outside your room? My fellowman noticed her and began observing this woman on the CCTV for the whole time.", the guard said.

I looked to the side and my eyes widened when I saw Lisa sitting on the floor while sleeping.

"I tried to wake her up and asked her to leave but she just shoved me away. I think she's drunk. I could smell the alcohol on her. Do you know her? If you didn't know this woman then I will force her to leave or just call the police right away."

"No, it's alright. I~I know her", I said and then I immediately pulled Lisa to stand but I can't make it because she was so heavy. So I asked the guard for help.

"Sorry, but can you help me carry her inside?", I asked him.

Slowly, the guard held Lisa's arm and wrapped it in his shoulder. Then, he helped Lisa walk to the living area and lay Lisa down on the couch.

"Thank you", I whispered and the security guard just nodded to me with a smile on his face. Afterward, I accompanied him out. I was about to close the door when he stopped me from doing it.

"Wait, Miss! I think this is for you. I saw her at the entrance earlier carrying this". The guard softly smile and handed the bouquet to me.

"That woman loves you. I bet on it", he chuckled. I just gave him a half smile, then took the bouquet and closed the door when he already left. I put the flowers on the table and I sat on the other couch then watched Lisa sleep.

A few minutes later, she suddenly woke up. She was holding her head. I bet she's still not feeling well. How much alcohol did she drink before she went over here? "Fvck that whiskey!". I heard her saying it. "Where am I?", Lisa said with her eyes closed. Then she put her hand on her mouth. Is she gonna puke here?! "Mygad! No! Not here on the couch!", I blurted out. I hurriedly walked toward her then she talks to me. "Who are you? Where will you take me?", she softly said with her eyes still closed, her breath reeking of alcohol. I didn't answer her and just guided her to the bathroom. "You're so heavy! Will you please walk properly?!", I said annoyingly to her.
