The Love Triangle // Jenlisa

11- Hard times

                    LISA POV:

I woke up laying in cold metal bed. I looked around, not recognizing the place I was being held in. I tried to sit up slowly, hoping to see a better view of the place but I felt every limb on my body start to ache.

Where am I and how did I even get here?

Everything in the room was white and plain. There were wires everywhere and a sofa at the other end of the room. There was a device next to me with a line that moved every-time my heart would beat.

I looked down, feeling something around my wrist and nothing made sense. It was a hospital band. But why would I be at the hospital? Last time I remember, I was at the skate park.

Then everything hit me. All the pain I felt before came rushing back at me like a train.

I paused as I remembered every single painful memory i've encountered yesterday. Including the news my brother left for me.

I felt a wet substance hit my hand and it shocked me that tears trickled down my cheeks, I never cry. I still couldn't believe it. Everything about this was real. A hard slap of painful truth.

"Oh, you're finally awake." I heard a soft female voice say closing the door snapping me back to reality. I looked around to the familiar accent that i've grew to know so well. It was my bestfriend.

"I wish I wasn't. The pain that I feel right now, Rosie, is just unbearable. I can't even describe it." I say as I let more tears fall down my face. "I feel numb. broken even. Like happiness wasn't for me. Like if I made one move, that would be my final one."

Rosè sighed. She stared at me with so much sadness, her eyes sparkles as if she wanted to just hug me and cry holding me but knowing the circumstances i'm in she knew it wouldn't be a bright idea. She grabbed the pillow besides me, putting it on the chair and lied next to me holding my hand. I leaned into her touch, feeling my body relax into the warmth she radiated off.

I was thankful I had her here, even if I didn't know how she got the recent news. I was grateful I had a shoulder to lean on during such hard times. This is what bestfriends were for and i'm glad I picked this one. I'm so happy i've met her.

We sat in silence taking in all the harsh reality life threw at us. At this moment Lisa wasn't here, I didn't know who I was. I was broken, shattered. I couldn't feel nor did I want to. I was scared, scared of what could possibly become of me if I did feel something again. I loved my grandpa with every part of me and to think he's gone now. To think the person who rescued me from all things mischievous wasn't in the world anymore and I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye.

More tears ran down my face as Rosè wiped every single one glancing at me with sincerity letting me know she's here for me and will always be. I faintly smiled, just enjoying her company. With her here I knew I wasn't alone. In this short amount of time me and Rosie known each other, she became a special person to me. From our weird Walmart trips, going to the mall and goofing around, and dropping water balloons on people from my balcony, she became someone i've never wanted to lose.

Her being right here, right now, next to me and holding my hand letting me know everything was going to be ok; I knew she was going to be permanent. And that was my promise to myself. If I didn't feel like she was such family to me, I would've fell for the elder.

"Lisa?" She asked me softly. I hummed, waiting for her to continue. "I know this may not help considering how you're feeling. But do you want to skip school tomorrow? I'll stay with you all day and I know you wouldn't want to deal with any bs tomorrow. I just want you to rest. Especially since this week hasn't really been easy on you. Does that sound good?" She suggested rubbing circles on my back gently.
