Better Off

26

For like another whole hour I saw a shed and was gonna stay there cause my wound's aching so bad but I saw a group of people who are laughing right under the shed and just by seeing a girl's side profile I can already tell that it is Jennie. A guy from the group saw me walking towards them so he notify the whole group and they all look towards me. I saw how Jennie has her mixed emotions like she's worried but also scared to see me. I know I look like a zombie right now but also I do know why she's scared... she's scared knowing that she lied to me

"Lisayah" she said when i reached them "you have a scratch on your face" she said looking at the side of my face. Rosie just stayed there tryna avoid an eye contact.. she probably knows that Jennie lied to me. I kept my eyes on her and she's just scared right now... I'm just really disappointed

"Your dad called he said it's urgent" I said ignoring what she just said. The pouring rain slows down while everyone around us are quiet not knowing what to say

"Lisa-"

"I just came for that" I said not even looking at Jennie's eyes. I turn around from Jennie's gaze and pull up my sweatpants seeing a wound on my right knee and some scratches on my legs. Jennie turn me around making the sweatpants fall back to its place but I wince in pain when I felt the wound stretched out when Jennie turn me back around.

"Why? Are you hurt? Where?" Jennie said worriedly. And since I'm looking down she kneeled down and pull my sweatpants up revealing a fresh wound on my knee. Jennie let out a shaky breath while looking on my leg with a couple of scratches and a wound. She don't know what to say so she stayed there while the rain starts to stop. She stand up after a couple of seconds and look right into my eyes "Lisayah I'm sorry " she said but I avoid her gaze and look at the sky

"The rain stopped.. let's go home" I said not looking back at Jennie's eyes. I know she is sincere when she said sorry but why do people bother on doing something they knew they'll be sorry about? Is sorry a really easy word to just say and will be a pass for forgiveness?

"There's an easy way to go down. Let's go" one guy said as he sense the awkward atmosphere. He started walking while the rest of us follow. I tried to walk as normal as possible so they don't have to worry or pity me. Jennie kept her arm around my waist to help me but seriously I'm really not in the mood to even swoon about that small gesture

Once we reached where we started I walk towards my car and told Rosie that we'll drop her off but she declined politely since her sister will pick her up. Jennie insisted on driving because of my wound but I just  ignore her word and take the driver seat.

While we're on the car Jennie was about to speak but I immediately cut her off telling her to call her dad cause I didnt come all the way here to argue. I'm just getting tired of it.

For like the whole ride Jennie was talking with her dad and even when we're inside the elevator. Once the elevator door open and we're at the penthouse I walk upstairs and change my wet clothes while Jennie's still on the phone with her dad. I dried up my hair and go straight to bed. It's not even night time but I'm already tired and done with this day.

I lay down on the bed with my feet hanging on the side of the bed as I close my eyes but I'm not really sleeping. In just a few minutes I heard the door open. I don't know what Jennie's up to but the next thing I know is she's opening up something and it sounds so close to me.

I felt her hand on my thigh while she's pouring something on my wound as started cleaning it while being careful not trying to hurt me. It actually hurts but like I said I'm just too tired for anything today. Jennie's not even saying anything probably sensing that I just want silence right now. She applied a couple more medicine on my wound and put a bandage over it. She did the same on a few scratches on my leg just to make sure they're all cleaned up. I seriously just don't want to be mad at Jennie that's why I keep my mouth close rather than throwing some words that may hurt her.

Once she's done with my legs she scoot closer to my face and tilt my face a bit so she can see the scratch a little better. Like what she did to the other scratches she started with cleaning it up as well before applying some more medicine and finally putting a bandage on it. It seems like she was cleaning up when i heard a couple of shuffling here and there. The side of the bed deepen again when Jennie went back. Since my eyes are still closed I really have no idea what she's doing but the next thing I know is she put her hand on the side of my face. She knows I'm awake.

She kept her hand on my cheek for like a minute before pulling it out as she brush my bangs towards the side to expose my forehead. I feel her breath right on my face so she is close

"Lisayah.. I know you're tired of hearing this but I'm sorry... I really am." she said before closing the distance and leaving a lingering kiss on my forehead
