THE AVENGED OF LALISA MANOBAN

18 - Missing?

Lisa pov....

It's Sunday and I will be leaving later, and Irene is beside me now, eating chips while I'm just watching TV.

It's been 2 days since what happened at Jennie's house, and let me tell you, when we went to the bar, we immediately got drunk, so when we woke up, it was already afternoon, so we decided not to go out and just stayed in Irene's room, had a movie marathon, and I didn't go home until Saturday night because we bonded, and those two days helped me not feel lonely because I was happy during those two days.

But I still can't help but feel sad during those two days; Jen keeps calling, but I don't answer.

It's better that we don't talk.

I'll just get hurt when I see her.

 -------

"Do you want me to take you, Lisa?" Irene said to me.

"No, I'll just take the bus," I replied to her.

"Are you sure? Your bag looks heavy; you might have a hard time carrying it," she said.

"It's okay; I'm used to this," I said and laughed.

"Alright, but I'll just take you to the bus stop," she said, so I nodded.

 -----

I took my heavy suitcase and bag, but I can still handle them. It's heavy because I brought gifts for dad.

"Take care," she said and hugged me.

"You too, and visit me, okay? Just ask Suelji where our house is, hehe," I said, and she smiled back.

"Hmm, okay," she said sadly, so I laughed.

"Don't be sad; it doesn't suit you," I teased her, so she punched me.

"Ouch, that's not funny," I said and touched where she punched me.

"Okay, I'm getting on the bus; I might get left behind," I told her, and she hugged me again and left.

As I boarded the bus, I glanced out the window and saw her waving goodbye to me as she got into her vehicle.

I sighed deeply.

I guess it's a goodbye.

I thought about Jen.

Why am I thinking about her?

But I didn't even inform her formally about my leaving.

Why am I worried about it?

But it's better that we're apart.

I will forget about her.

And I won't get hurt anymore.

Jennie's POV...

I'm here at home lying down.

I keep calling Lisa, but she doesn't answer.

I just want to apologize.

And I can't calm down about what she did to me that night.

And I know I love V, but when she told me she regretted loving me, I felt pain.

I don't know why I felt that.

I don't even like her.

But I was really hurt.

I was hurt seeing her cry because of me.

I was also hurt when he threw away the flowers she was going to give me.

That night when they went to the bar, I was planning to follow them, but V called saying he was sick, so I went to their place instead.

I thought about Lisa again.

Should I call her again, maybe she'll answer this time?

So I called her again, but she still didn't answer.

Should I go to her apartment?

I know where her apartment is because we went there on a date before, and sometimes she invites me to her apartment, so I know where her apartment is.

I quickly dressed to go to Lisa's apartment.

If she doesn't want to answer my call, then fine, we'll talk in person.

When I arrived at Lisa's apartment, I knocked immediately, but no one answered.

"Lisa," I called out while knocking.

"Let's talk," I shouted again.

"Lisa, please open the door," I shouted once more.

"Lisa," but still no one opened the door.

Maybe she's not here.

I'll just wait here until she comes back.

 -------

It's been 5 hours, and I'm still here, and she's still not here.

Where is she? It's already 8 pm, and she's still not home.

Don't tell me she went to Irene's place?

I've been waiting here, and she's not coming back.

Angry, I grabbed my phone and called her, but I couldn't reach her.

Why can't I reach her?

Does she not want to be disturbed with irene?

Then they should be together!

Angry, I walked out.

My feet hurt so much from standing there, only to find out she's just at Irene's place!

 -----

When I arrived home, Jisoo and Rose greeted me.

"Jennie, let's go—"

I ignored her and just walked to my room.

As soon as I entered, I threw my bag.

Lisa!

Who is she to make me wait there!

She better be ready for me tomorrow!

 -----

Morning...

As soon as I woke up, I went to the bathroom to get ready for school, and after taking a shower, I went downstairs to eat, and I immediately saw Dad and Mom waiting for me.

"Oh, come here, let's eat," Dad said to me, so I went and sat down.

"Morning, Mom, Dad," I greeted them.

"Morning, dear," Mom said to me.

"In my birthday; tell Lisa to come, okay?" Dad said to me, so I paused.

How am I supposed to tell her when we're not getting along?

"Okay, Dad," I said and smiled a little.

 -------

I'm at school now, and I've been waiting for Lisa, but I can't see her anywhere.

Where is she!!

I checked her seat, but she's still not there.

Where is she, then?

Maybe she's in the stockroom and just didn't come in.

Is she avoiding me?

I don't care; we'll talk whether she likes it or not!

After class, I quickly packed my things and was about to leave when V stopped me.

"Babe, let's eat at the canteen," he said, smiling sweetly at me.

"You go ahead; I have somewhere to go first; I'll follow later, okay," I said to him, kissed his cheek, and left.

I went to the stockroom without knocking and immediately opened it, but I didn't see Lisa, only Irene and another girl eating, so I furrowed my brows.

I saw them both looking at me.

"Where's Lisa? Why can't I see her? Why isn't she here?" I asked Irene, who was staring at me.

"Why? Do you miss her?" she said, making me laugh.

"Do I miss Lisa?

Tskk.

Where is she?

Why would I miss her? I just have something to say," I said to her seriously.

"I don't want to," she said and looked at the girl who was looking at me, but I just raised an eyebrow, making her look away.

"Just—"

There's nothing you can get from me because if I say I don't want to, I don't want to," she said seriously, which annoyed me.

"Why don't you want to say it? Are you two together? Tskk, as far as I know, she loves me," I arrogantly said to her, and I saw her getting annoyed.

"So? She'll forget about it, and she'll forget about you," she said to me, which made me stop.

I don't know but thinking lisa doesn't like me anymore or love me anymore hurts me.

Angrily, I left.

Fine, if you don't want to say it, I'll find it myself.
