Just Give Me A Chance [Jenlisa FF]

Ch.28

Chapter 28

"Lisa, we were waiting for you."

"Lisa and Alison, I ask you to sit down."

"Why? Is it all so horrible?"

"Maybe. I contacted you friend Wesley, Lisa. We worked together and discovered some hard things in Jennie's past. First the treatment her parents gave her was really bad since her later childhood. She almost died drowned during a trip to the beach. Brendan's story everyone knows. Her father was a man quite violent. He never did anything for a fact but threatened. You can imagine the psychological damage this can do."

Lisa sucked a breath. Why did all of this happen to Jennie? She didn't do anything to deserve it.

"And..."

"Mino..."

"Alison, Jennie discovered she was pregnant with Brendan's child and lost the baby two weeks later."

"WHAT?"

"My God!"

"She lost the baby?"

Alison felt a wave of nausea and ran to the bathroom in Mino's office to throw up. She had two children, she could not bear the thought of losing one of them. Jennie was always so good with her children. How could she? She was beside Alison during both her pregnancies. What kind of friend was she that didn't saw her friend suffering so much?

"How could she survive all of this?"

"Lisa. We don't know. Everyone for a lot less would have turned to drugs or worst. Maybe that is the result of her being a smart kid who didn't know anything different of pain. She lived in it all her life. Can you imagine yourself growing up without love? Jen was the outsider in her family. From what I got she was completely different from them. Her family was greed, while she was a funny girl. She was the one that talked to everyone despite who or what the person was. People were naturally drawn to her. She knew many people and everyone we talked to had nothing but good things to say about her." 

"How could she get pregnant, miscarriage and not tell anything to anyone?" 

"Alison. She grew up alone, without anyone to confide to. Why would she tell anyone about it? Anya said that maybe it was the last thing she lost. I mean... she lost her childhood, she lost nice parents, she lost the boys she liked to her friends, she lost the man she thought she loved and finally she lost the baby. At some point you just can't take anymore." 

"The thing is. How can we help her?" 

"Anya said that we have to give her time to close the wounds opened by the flowers. If we do something now she can lost it. About the flowers, Lisa, Anya thinks that they told her that you love her. Maybe she got afraid that you would be like any other man she knew, unattainable at some point. Or maybe she thought it could not be or that you were too much for her. Many things could be taken from it. But just Jennie can tell."
