Heart To Heart [Jenlisa]

Chapter 26 : Thunderstorms and tears

[ 4 weeks later ]

Lisa's P.O.V

"Goodnight unnie!"
Jennie mumbled against my chest as I hugged her goodnight.

But I could sense an eerie atmosphere that surrounded us.

"Goodnight princess!"
I kissed her and faced her with my hands on her waist.

Her eyes landed on mine before she quickly adverted it somewhere.

"Jennie?"

She hummed and avoided eye contact with me.

"Do you want to sleep with me?"
I asked her knowing the fact that it's really pouring hard and Jennie is not a big fan of rains and thunderstorms.

She breathed, "It's.... fine."

"Okay then! Sleep well!"
I said waiting for her to change her decision but she just mumbled, "You too" before walking back to her room.

I sighted not knowing why Jennie was acting different these days and walked back to my room jumping on to my bed.

And soon I felt asleep.

I flinched as I woke up from the loud thunderstorms.

Jennie,
was the first thing to come to my mind.

The loud bang of thunders echoed again and there was no way that Jennie would be sleeping now.

I quickly jolted up from my bed, grabbed my slippers and ran to her room.

To my surprise her door was not locked.

Maybe she forgot toock it.

She's been acting very strange these days.

I slowly opened the door and peeped on the room.

There was complete darkness.

This was strange.

I went to her bed but I found her missing.

"Jennie?"
I furrowed my eyebrows wondering where she would be.

I saw a small figure on the balcony in the corner of the room.

As if my feet had its own brain, I was walking towards her.

"Jennie?"
I whispered as I saw a clearer view of the figure.

She sniffed several times before lifting out her gaze to me.

And as I expected, she was crying miserably.

I forze at my spot.

Why was I feeling guilty?

A feeling I never experienced.

Why did it felt like I was the reason behind her tears?

My heart broke.

"J-jennie"
I stammered.

Why on earth was I stamering?

She starred at me as a few more tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Why are you crying Jennie?"
I asked as I sat down near her.

She flinched before mumbling something.

"Jennie? What's wrong?"
I asked concerned.

"N-nothing..."
She hesitated and I knew that she was not being sincere to me.

"Hey!! Stop crying baby! What wrong?"
I wiped her tears off as they strated to tell down again.

She looked at me again before moving away uncomfortably.

"Why?"
I asked perplexed.

She looked down paying with her hands while silently crying.

"Jennie please tell me what is wrong. Did you get another nightmare?"
I softly asked maintaing a distance with her as she didn't seem to like it with me comforting her.

She remained silent.

"Baby? Please speak to me. Don't be like that."
I said.

"You don't want to talk to me know?"
I reached out to hold her hand but she quickly shoved it away.

Why Jennie?

I heaved out a sight.

"I don't know the reason why you are crying Jen. And this won't work if you don't tell me anything. Why are you being like this? Am I not allowed to touch you now? For God's sake Jen. I'm your sister. Whom are you going to say it if not me?"
I softly said.

I couldn't she her face as he had her head hung low.

"Don't ignore me like that. Don't act weird. It hurts me."
I mumbled.

Well it really hurts when someone you love is suddenly not comfortable around you.

"If you are getting tired of me just say it. If you don't want me around you it's fine. Just....say it."
I said as tears rolled down my cheeks as I finally decided to stand up and walk towards me room.

I never cried in front of anyone especially Jennie.

I was about to open the door when Jennie spoke.

"Unnie!"
She cried out as she ran towards me and hugged me very tight from my back.

I secretly wiped off my tears.

"I l-love you!"
She cried harder.

I remained silent.

"I-i am n-not getting tired o-of...o-of you! U-unnie....I-i..... u-unnie!"
She sobbed harder.

No, don't Jennie.

Just don't.

We stood there for a few minutes.

She was saying thing while crying really hard.

And I was secretly wiping if my stupid tears pouring out for no reason.

The reason why I was crying?

I don't know it myself.

After I got tired of wiping of my tears I finally turned towards her.

It's dark.

She can't see me anyway.

She didn't let go of me instead she hugged me tighter suppressing her sobs.

I tried to face her but she didn't let me.

"Hey! Jennie?"
I wrapped my arms around her.

She hugged me back crying.

"U-unnie??"
She called out again.

"Yes Jen. What's the matter?"
I whispered crying silently again.

"Don't leave m-me!"
She cried.

"S-stay with me!"
She moaned.

For the first time in my life, I cried my whole heart out.

Why?

Well,

For the first time in my life, I didn't know the reason why I cried.
