Kill Me Heal Me - JENLISA

Chapter 16

Jennie's POV

After the events of Tuesday, I would like to say that "I am back to normal."

I liked to say that everything worked out to the point that I was happy again and didn't have to worry about any more secrets or guilt.

Unfortunately, the turnout of our talk went south very fast and revealed things that I hadn't known about before, and it ruined me a little more.

Lisa's true intentions toward me in particular

I couldn't tell you how much I cried that night, or the day after, or the day after that.

It was weird to have your heart broken by someone who had been around for over a decade, but it was another thing to feel played by someone you'd known for a mere month.

I didn't want to believe that Lisa's intentions were rotten, but last time I was in denial, it nearly ruined everything. I refused to be that naive little girl anymore. Would it really be too far-fetched to think that Kai was right about Lisa's motives? I didn't want to believe him, but it all made sense.

Kai hurt her pride, and she freaked out about it. A while later, in her hasty decision, she kissed me, knowing I was still with Kai even though things were uncertain. No wondered why she could barely stand my presence because she had no feelings for me. She just wanted to finish her own revenge.

I don't date.

What a lie!

Jisoo found out what had happened since her dad, Uncle Jeff, was here when everything went down, and she came over immediately. I didn't tell her that I warmed up to Lisa's company. I guess Uncle Jeff didn't reveal that part to his family either. I was more pleased than ever about that.

I was never mad at my cousin; it wasn't her fault. I was the one who chose not to tell her, and I was sure she asked so many times before, and I denied it. I was the one who did it to myself, so why would it change? There was no one to blame but me.

As far as I knew, no one else among my close peers knew about Kai cheating or Lisa and I hooking up; I would carry all of that to my grave.

Against better judgment, I ditched school both Wednesday and Thursday. The wound was too fresh and too deep. My mother assured me I could take it as many times as I needed. Even she told me that she had never experienced such devastation. Most people wouldn't. My life was just interesting. Ha. Ha.

Sixty-five messages and thirty-one missed calls from Kai started on Tuesday night. I didn't bother to look at the texts or listen to the voicemails. Our relationship was over, and if he hadn't gotten the hint, he might be half brain dead. I had no idea.

It was midnight once again, and I had yet to feel even a lick of exhaustion. I decided to take a shower since I couldn't remember the last time I did, which was really disturbing.

My mother had been extremely helpful the past few days and really made me feel better, despite her load of paper work. Even my dad attempted to cheer me up. They were a little bit crazy in the process, but I'd be scared if they weren't. In their eyes, it was my first heartbreak.

I washed my hair in the shower, which accumulated a lot of oil, and shaved and washed every part of my body.

I felt fresh when I finally got out.

I changed into a pair of black leggings and a t-shirt.

I dried off my hair with a towel before going back to my room.

I shook slightly, as I wasn't prepared to see a body sitting on my bed.

"Jennie." She hopped up.
