Better Off

Once the guy leaves Jennie's legs gave up as she sit down the floor while crying. She feels vulnerable and fragile. She can't even get up from fear and she's still holding the sharp mug part.

Lisa and Jackson are walking through the hallways while laughing not even knowing what happened. Jackson lead the way and saw that the door is already open so he peeked inside expecting to see Jennie with the investor but his smile fall off of his face seeing how much of a mess was left behind

"Are they done?" Lisa ask since she's not peeking inside. Jackson immediately step inside and walk towards the flipped table on the side. Lisa follow immediately and saw her girlfriend sitting on the floor with a sharp thing on her hand

"Jennie!" Jackson yelled out and run towards Jennie. Once Lisa saw Jennie's state she can't even process it all. Jennie's tears running down her cheeks which has a couple of scratches, her messy hair and how broken she looks. Lisa walk towards them slowly not knowing how to act. It's like she wanted to cry but she's also keeping it from falling. She clenched her fists and stood there looking down at Jennie. Jackson pull out his phone and immediately called someone for help. Lisa looks up to keep her tears from falling as she let out a shaky breath. She kneeled down next to Jennie and grab the sharp thing from her hand to put it down. Her hand reach Jennie's hair as she brush it away from her face to see how much Jennie cried since earlier. Lisa pursed her lips when Jennie's eyes meet hers as she tries not to break down as well. Lisa pulls Jennie closer to her so she can hug her.

Lisa's POV

I just want to burst out right now. I can't handle the feeling of seeing my own girlfriend this vulnerable. I just wanted to kill the person who did this to her. I never wanted someone to hurt her and I'm trying my best not to make her cry like this and a person can easily do this to her. Jennie keeps sobing on my shoulder while holding me tightly. I brush her hair and keeps on breathing out heavily as I feel a huge weight on my chest but I also don't want to bawl my eyes out... I can't look vulnerable infront of Jennie cause that won't help the situation.

"Lisayah.." she sobs and it just shatters me inside "Lisayah... I'm scared" that makes my heart drop and how her voice breaks hurts a hundred times more

"I'm here now... I'm sorry for arriving so late" I said as I feel my body shake a bit from my mixed emotions "I'm sorry" I repeated while keeping my tears from falling down. I pulled back a bit and hold her face as she keep her eyes on me. I look at her face and saw a couple of scratch here and there and it looks like it just happened a few minutes ago from how red it is "who did this to you?" I said in almost a whisper

Before Jennie can even say anything Mr Kang run inside with a couple of guards and staff. Mr Kang kneel down next to Jennie and i can see how worried he is as well but he's trying to calm down like I do. Mr Kang helps me to transfer Jennie on a chair as one of her staff gave her some water.

"Ms Kim one of our nurses are here to clean up your scratches" her secretary says so I stood up to give way but Jennie holds my hand. I lean down and gave her another hug

"I'll just be there alright? Mr Kang's beside you" I said before pulling away from her and walking towards Jackson who's talking to Jennie's secretary

"Jennie was with the investor before this happened" Jackson informed me

"We checked the security camera but it was off the same time but the cameras outside saw that the investor was the last one who walks out of this room" her secretary says

"Didn't the security personnel check the cameras? How come this happened when they should be looking after the employees and their boss" I said slightly raising my voice and furrowing my brows. Jackson pat my shoulder to calm me down a bit

"I'm sorry ma'am" she said bowing down to apologize

"Jennie!" We all turn to look at the doorway and saw Jennie's parents who just walks in

"Mr Kang probably told them" Jackson said right beside me. Jennie's mom immediately run towards her clearly worried while Mr. Kim does seem worried as well but he keeps calm and his eyes landed on us

"Have they caught the investor?" He said towards the secretary

"He wasn't seen leaving the building so he's probably around sir" Jennie's dad nodded as we walk closer to where Jennie and her mom is.

"What happened?" She said looking at Jennie

She's not even starting to speak yet but her tears started streaming down her face again which just makes my chest hurt more and more

"I was... I was on a meeting with him. I thought he was just acting weird.." Jennie keeps sobbing which keeps interupting her statement. I walk closer to her and she immediately hold my hand "We're about to finish the meeting when he.. when he stared touching my leg" my jaw clenched from hearing that as I put my other hand on my forehead trying to be calm "I was taken aback at first cause... I never expect someone to do that to me" she said as she cries more "even my own girlfriend respects me a lot that she doesn't do that to me without my permission.." I put down my other hand and saw Jennie's mom looking towards me. I squeeze Jennie's hand and lean down to wipe her tears away

"Lisa and i found her" Jackson said while I'm trying to keep Jennie from crying too much cause it hurts me a lot more "I was about to go home but Lisa insisted on checking Jennie at this room... good thing she did " Jackson said

I look towards Jennie's parents once more and I can see how Jennie's mom look at me differently from how she used to.
