Chapter 30 - Say Something by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera

JFK

Lisa's POV

After long hours having my butt stuck on the plane seat, we've finally landed in New York.

It is my first time here. I should be excited. Especially for the reason I'm here. But, all the joy I've felt was replaced by grief.

Grieving the lost of something I never really had. Or maybe someone. I went to get my carry on on the overhead bin when I saw in the corner of my eye the familiar girl that has my heart feeling like this.

Instead of facing her, I looked the opposite way and ushered myself to the plane exit.

I hurried to wait for my luggage together with the other passengers. I got myself a cart to put my huge baggage in.

That's when someone pushing her own cart waited for her baggage beside me.

Jennie.

Jennie's POV

I tried to catch Lisa while we're getting off the plane. But she hastily left for the exit.

Those were times I hated my short legs. I could not catch up. Luckily I had the chance to get ahold of her while waiting for our baggage.

I know. I should've approached her on the plane. I had hours to talk to her and explain to her what she saw earlier.

But I panicked. I never thought she'd be on the plane to New York same as mine.

I parked my luggage cart next to hers so I can talk to her. But she seems like she isn't interested in talking to me because she keeps on ignoring me when she can clearly see me.

"Lisa, hey." I tried getting her attention and I succeeded.

"Oh, Jennie. Hi! Thought you didn't know me anymore awhile back there." I flinched at the way she replied to me.

Her voice was high pitched and exaggerated. The voice you use when someone you don't like has approached you and enthusiastically hit up a conversation with you. Does she hate me? Probably.

"Lisa, look. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ignore you on the plane. I was shocked to see you there and didn't know how to act." I explained as words started to just tumble out my mouth one after the other.

"Pfft." She made that sound with her mouth, while fake fanning the air with her hand. "Fret not Jennie. Really it was nothing."

"And what you saw, it didn't mean anything. Uhmm.. the cabin crew keeps on bugging me and flirting with me since the beginning of the flight and it irritates me. So I might've kissed her harshly just to frighten her or something. And that somehow worked because she stopped bugging me.."

Why am I explaining? Lisa was with Tzuyu last night. She was having whispered conversations with her. Why do I feel so guilty?

"I told you, it's no big deal, Jen. You don't owe me any explanation. I mean, who am I to you right? I'm no one. I'm just someone who promised to better herself to deserve you, someone who tried to reach out to you even when I didn't receive any reply. I'm just someone who had planned to invite you out last night to that new diner Tzuyu had told me. And I'm just someone who thought that maybe we can make things work. But clearly, I was mistaken. Because we lost our timing. It's fine really. Don't sweat, Jennie. It was all really on me for being stupid." She coldly said and acting like none of it was a big deal.
