Need You To Need Me | Jenlisa

PROLOGUE

She was standing there, completely and perfectly still. She had never been more still in her whole life. She was so still that she wasn't even sure she was still breathing. She didn't bother to check.

She sensed something, or rather someone, standing next to her but she couldn't tell who it was and how long it had been there.
Then it all hit her at once. Not because of the smell, or the hair or because she was looking at her. She never looked at her. She just knew.

"Don't come too near". These were the first words to leave her mouth.
They hadn't seen each other in three months and these were the only things she could say.

"Why?" Jennie said, she wasn't surprised or disappointed. She just never understood. This is why Lisa didn't want to look at her. Not anymore at least.

"Because I'll hate you if you do" there was a long pause from both parts before she said " and I don't want that".

"Why?" Jennie said, again.

"Why what?" Lisa knew she wouldn't have been able to answer if not with a question, even if she knew the reasons, all of them.

"Everything: why did you avoid me all summer, why did you disappear into thin air, why wouldn't you pick up the phone just once to at least tell me that you were doing okay. I would've just let you be then"

There was another long pause. Both of them were expecting Lisa's answer. But nothing came out except for an "I don't know ".

This was when they both looked at each other. But, for the first time, Jennie couldn't decipher Lisa's eyes. It was like it wasn't her. Like she was a stranger.

"I don't believe you" Jennie said, but she wasn't convinced of her words. It felt like Lisa really didn't know why.
With that being said she left, while Lisa stood there, completely and perfectly still.
