My turn to cry

(Chapter 29): Its Called Life!

Jennie's POV

The smell of the alcohol still lingered around me, my ears kept playing the deafening music and my brain still swirled. I tried to walk without support but kept stumbling.

"This wouldn't be happening now if only you had listened to me!" A voice spoke from behind me and made me stop. I straightened up, put my tendrils behind my ears and tried to act sober.

"Why are you here?" I asked him as I turned around and saw Xiumin standing with his arms crossed over his chest.

"I came here for you!" He said as he advanced towards me.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop right there..." I tried to stop him from coming close as I hysterically moved my arms in the air in front of me. He stopped.

"Why are you here?" He asked me.

"It's none of your business wherever I go," I spat.

"It is now!" He said sternly.

"I was never your business!" I replied as I tried to hold back my puke.

"Stop being stubborn and admit it that kris was never sincere to..."

"Stop this fuck!" I cut him shouting.

"Admit the reality," he said as he nodded his head to himself and sighed.

Thinking of Kris made me want to cry and the tears would just come out of nowhere and start falling. I stopped myself from crying as I bit my lips. Xiumin advanced and tried to embrace me but I pushed him aside. My mind was oozing and I was feeling dizzy. I turned around to run from him. He followed me as I could hear footsteps behind me. Just as I turned the corner of the street, I got blinded by bright, yellow lights and I heard Xiumin shout my name, then I blacked out.

--------------------

I woke up by the lights entering my eyes and saw white walls with only a single window in the room. I was covered in white sheet and a tube attached to my hand. It was the hospital, but what was I doing here?

Just then the door opened and Chen walked inside, worry written all over his face. He sat next to me on the bed, placed his hand on my forehead and nodded to himself.

"How are you feeling now?" He asked me.

"I'm fine," I tried to convince him despite of the throbbing pain radiating from my head.

"Why did you drink that bad?" Husband attitude changed from a caring father to a stern school teacher. I couldn't answer this so I just shrugged.

"You could even die if Xiumin wasn't there behind you!" He told me.

"Who? Xiumin?" I asked back, astonished by his words.

"Yeah, he saved you from the car accident and brought you here. He left later because he he told me you hated him," he told me as his face showed his worry lined deepening.

"Aaggghhhh!" I groaned.

Then Chen fed me with some fruits and gave me the medicine, I hated it but he persisted.

I got discharged from the hospital in two days as there weren't any big injuries. I returned to school and everything was still the same, except Kris. I noticed him for a few days. He had changed a lot. He was a completely different person than before. He became antisocial and even smoked at school. His eyes had bags around them and he got very cranky. His grades started to fall and his reputation got ruined. His relationship with his friends and teammates was destroyed by his rudeness.

It had been almost a month since Kris broke up with me. I had recovered a lot but my heart still ached as I looked at his miserable state. I wanted to know what had happened to change him so much. So today I decided to go talk to him.

It was lunch time and everybody was in the cafeteria. I bought my food and looked for Kris and found him m sitting on the same table at the far end of the cafeteria. He was resting his head on his arm and staring at the wall. I placed my food tray on the table and sat next to him. He didn't seem to notice me sitting down.

I swallowed the lump forming in my throat and decided to address him now, "Hey Kris! How've you been?"

He opened his eyes and jolted as he sat straight. I tried to smile at his swollen face and red eyes. He didn't say anything but kept looking at my face blankly.

"Did you eat today?" I tried to initiate a conversation but his expression never changed. I pushed my tray towards him, "Here eat something, I brought food for you..." Just then in the blink of an eye, he moved his arm and threw the plate aside, making it slam on the floor and spilling all the food on the floor. I looked around and everyone was looking at us.

No, today I've to ask him, I don't care about people!

I looked up at him and his eyes were red and his face angry. I advanced my hand and touched his face lightly, "What is it Kris? What's bothering you?" His expressions softened for a bit and he closed his eyes but just in a second he grabbed my wrist, his eyes bleeding with anger and he pushed me away.

"It's all your fault, stay away from me!" He barked at me as he stood up from his seat. I stood up too to level up with him.

"It's all your fault! Your fault! All yours! Don't ask me what's wrong with me!" He shouted at me. But I still walked towards him and stood next to him.

"It's okay Kris, tell me what's my fault?" I asked him politely.

"It's all your fault, your mother and you... you are the same!" He bit his lips as he tried to compose himself and restrain from crying. I could see tears glittering in his eyes but he stopped it. He then turned away and left me there, standing alone.

So, it's related to me and my mom? But what?

It didn't affect me that he insulted me in front of the whole school, I was worried for him but I could feel hatred burning in my heart too. Why would he blame my mom and point at my weaknesses?

As time passed, I recovered from it and he meant nothing to me other than a bad nightmare I kept having for some time. He left for China before the final year of high school. No news about him came later. I graduated with good grades and ended school with good friends. Chen was now a singer and my favourite person in the world. I worked Seoul Fashion Designers as a junior and life was going fine. Nothing about my high school nightmares bothered me in adult life. I was happy with my living and glad that I recovered from all the blows I faced in my life.
