CRYBABY

XXXII- They Know What I Am

Jennie

Rosè crossed her arms, "Jennie, do you wanna be stuck here forever with some assassin who will proudly kill you and feed you to some angry birds?". I rolled my eyes that they almost got stuck in the back of my head.

"Oh please, can you stop with mentioning animated movies?".

"And now how did you even get your damn phone?". I blinked at my sassy best friend with a puzzled look.

"I have my ways". She smirked, and I crossed my heart and hoped that church girl was still there. I rolled my eyes, "Of course, Jisoo".

Chaeyoung shrugged her head and looked so angry as she spoke. "You need to stop creating this image inside your head of you and this—".

"Don't". I frowned, "You don't know her". For the first time, I felt like defending Lisa. As crazy as it seems, I just felt my voice mouthing words to stop in her defense.

"Neither do you". Rosè huffed.

"Jennie snap out of it, we need to get out of here and as soon as possible". Chaeyoung tried to pull me along with her but I didn't move. I looked at the ground in defeat— "Jennie..".

"What did she do to you..?".

I looked up, seeing the heavy disappointment that was written on her face. I knew speaking was pointless at this point. My gaze traveled to the door that revealed an annoyed Jisoo— and an angry Lisa.

They stepped closer, Jisoo looked at me and then back at Rosè, who was playing innocent. Damn, she was a good actor. "Why?". Lisa's voice echoed with madness, shaking right through the white walls.

"Eric". Her lips twitched into a smile, "The man who mutters your name with such disguised words". Her hand grabbed my arm tightly, her eyes coldly gazing into mine. "You choose to let him in..".

I shrugged my head, but I knew she didn't believe me. Chaeyoung sighed heavily, "Let her go, I'm the only responsible one here". My best friend tried to defend me, but it was useless. I felt useless - standing under her intense brown eyes.

All of the little mercy inside of Lisa's eyes was gone, just like that.

She harshly pulled me out of the room, I bit my lip. Not in the pain that was making my arm feel numb, but the pain that lectured my heart whenever she would make me feel so weak.

I meet darkness again, as she pushes me inside of the room.

"L-Lisa, I didn't do anything". My voice weakened.

Lisa dryly laughed, "I think you're just paying for a little mistake, you've doubtlessly made princess". I shrugged my head, trying to stop myself from crying in front of her.

And there she goes again, making me feel weak by her harsh words, yet delicate by her soft long fingers. "And what do I get off all of this?". I whispered, "Death, is that what you want from me?".

Her eyes softened for a second, but the darkness of the room and the light of the hallway, made it seem like a movie as I watched the corner of her lips raised in a smile. The wicked one I've seen ever since I've met her, "Not that fast princess".

She licked her lips devilishly, "Embrace the silence of my demons".

"Lisa this needs to stop, they will come..". I whispered in the end, but she didn't seem frightened.

Lisa looked deadly at me, and that ridiculous smile on her face shined right through me.

"They know what I am. Let them come if they find the courage".
