Lisa's POV
A day after
I don't know but after the call I had with my mother, I could not sleep well. I really don't like this kind of feeling. I feel like something will be removed inside of me. That day after our talked on the phone, I immediately went to Jennie's room and found no one inside so I went downstairs and there she is. Watching tv. I breathe a sigh o relief. What the hell. She's not going anywhere early in the morning. I went to sit beside her then she looked at me and smiled then turn to look at the tv again. I don't know why suddenly I patted her head
"Did you have breakfast?"
"Yes"
"What did you eat when there's nothing prepared on the table. You see, I just woke up"
"Milk from the fridge and bread"
I smile at her and nod
"I'll prepare something to eat, then after let's eat"
I head towards the kitchen and started to prepare. I called her once I was done then we both eat. While she's eating, I just stared at her. I realised that I don't like it that she will completely disappear in our lives. In my life. Might be because I treated her like a family now. I wish that it will never happen. And there will be no time for her to leave but I know when the time comes that her parents will be gone forever and left her alone by herself, everything will change
"I'm done" she said that brought me back to my senses
"Okay" I simply said then started to eat
After a long sad last day with her (well for me) it's time for us to rest. But after we entered her room
"Help me pack your things" and FUCK the hurt and shocked mixing and visible in her eyes makes me want to go and hug her tight. The eyes telling me not to throw her out of the fucking house. The eyes telling me not to leave her.
Fuck.
"Mom said she will come home tomorrow to get you. She will bring you to your parents" I quickly explained 'cause I can see that anytime she'll cry
"Okay" she simply said but I can see the sadness in her eyes then we started packing and fixing everything inside her duffle bag
"Go to sleep now" I said after we finish. I cover her a blanket then wait for her to fell asleep.
I started having thoughts once again. And I feel slightly anxious knowing thay this will never happen again. I'll never be able to see her anymore. Well she is the first person who I hangout with. My first friend. When I entered school, I didn't make friends I just study and that's it. I don't feel the need to have friends. But Jennie made me feel like I needed one. I needed someone. Someone like her. After an hour when I came into my room, I started thinking and thinking and thinking. Then I went to my wardrobe, pull out a couple of shirts and trousers then put it inside my bag. I'll come with them tomorrow. I'll be her support when she face her dying parents.
She is a friend after all

Next dat my alarmed turned off as I pressed the off button. I set an alarm to 6:30 so I still have time to prepare myself and prepare breakfast before my mother arrive. Past 7 after I set breakfast on the table, I heard the door clicked then my mother entered.
"Morning, you're early. Is Jennie ready?"
"No. She has not woken up yet. By the way mom, I also prepared my things I wanted to come with you guys. Is it okay?" Say. Yes.
"Of course. I'll go wake her up"
I placed the plates on the table. Eggs, toasts, ham and I got the milk from the fridge. Til I heard the footsteps walking down the stairs so I sat and waited for them
"Let's eat first then go prepare yourself after" mom said to Jennie and Jennie nods
"Okay, Auntie"
We eat peacefully while the three of us having different thoughts. After breakfast, Jennie went upstairs to get ready and I on the other hand sat on the living room and wait for them to finish. When my mother stepped out of the study room she asked
"Where's your things? Go get them and we are going"
I stood up and went to my room. Once I came out of my room, I peeked in Jennie's room to see her writing something and folded it before placing on the side table. I decided to leave her and went to the living room. After a few more minutes I saw her coming down the stair one by one pulling her bag. It's heavy. I know. So I walked towards her and help her.
We left the house and drive for two hours since her parents got transferred to a new hospital. And when we arrived, she slowly held my hand
"I'm scared, Lisa" she spoke. On the way here, mother already informed her about the things she needed to know. The situation of her parents.
"Don't be. I'm here" I squeezed her hand
We entered the hospital and walked towards the room where her parents were located.
"Honey, we have arrived. Do you want me to accompany you or do you want to be alone inside with them?" My mother asked
"I want to go alone first, Auntie. I'll call you later" then she released my hand then went inside. After closing the door I asked mom
"What will happen to her now, mom?"
"She is an only child. All her parents properties will be hers even without last will"
"You know it's not what I meant"
She looked down and said
"She will be staying in the Child Care Facility. It did not came to my mind that this will happen since I thought automatically she will be staying with us for the mean time while processing her papers. But they did not allow me to take care of her"
Well.
Fuck.
