LISA

A broken melody played against my heart, while I stood on my grounds with a gaze full of tears, and unspoken words.

My hands were shaking, as they lowered Chaeyoung's casket to the ground.

Memories took over my eyes, as I blacked out with the sound of an angel exiting the earth, leaving to heaven with a vibrant smile.

I closed my eyes, my knees and body becoming weak as I crashed into the ground, with the sound of my heart, beating so fast.

Another angel whispering; "Lisa, p-please wake up". Jennie begged.

Flashback On

"Lisa-ya why are you so damn dramatic?". Chaeyoung's angelic voice altered me, as she threw popcorn at my surprised face.

I looked at my side, only to meet her pink cheeks, "Why are you so chubby?". I asked and pinched her cheeks. "Yah! These cheeks make me look so pretty you see?". She sassed.

My heart fluttered, I wrapped my arms around her instead and started to cry in her chest. "What's wrong Lisa-ya?". She caressed my hair as I cried harder into her chest.

My eyes becoming more blurry, as tears streamed down my face.

"Why am I such a crybaby Chaeyoung?". I cried harder into her chest, letting my chest clinch with the tightness against my heart.

A soft giggle escaped her lips, making me pull away, to look back at her, the eyes of the angel pulling me like the caring person she is; "Crying doesn't mean you are weak".

She wiped my tears away, "And crying certainly, isn't for the weak".

The gentleness in her voice washed away my worries and all of my insecurities.

With every blink of an eye, she faded away.

And away..

Flashback End.

"Lisa..?". Someone gently shook my shoulder, I opened my eyes in panic. Meeting the brown soft eyes I grew to love. Jennie. Jennie's eyes met mine in ecstasy.

"How are you feeling young lady?". A man's voice echoed through the room.

I moved my head to the side, seeing the doctor eye me with worry as his lips traced a gentle smile.

But how did I feel? I felt nothing.

Funny, how my everything became nothing. The melody inside my chest, felt like bricks. A thousand dead roses, planted at the bottom of my heart, while I try to escape, try to reach the one rose that is alive up in the sky.

"D-doctor, why isn't she speaking?". Jennie squeezed my hand, letting our hands intertwine, while I stared at the white wall.

"She's still under the state of shock Miss Jennie, please don't worry". He answered.

"Will this be permanent?".

I could sense and feel the worry in Jennie's eyes, but my thoughts, my mind, and heart only broke even more apart when my soul came to remembrance, Chaeyoung is gone.

The doctor, unconsciously shrugged; "We will leave the speaking to her".

"Lisa-ya?". Jennie inched closer, but the pain came back stronger, pushing my soul back from flying; and my wings from fluttering against the thin air.

Like fabric, soft and sweet was the melody that played against her mouth when she called out my name, but what is about the acid inside my heart?

"Lisa, b-baby..". She begged.

I met her eyes but then was too coward and looked away.

"C-can you try to speak?".

I blinked, letting the memories wash over my mind one last time; "I want to see her". I finally managed to rasp.

She nodded but parted her lips to speak.

There was something about the way, Jennie could easily make the butterflies come and go away, just by a snap of her fingers. But, emptiness. The emptiness wasn't a choice to my overwhelming thoughts.

Death? How does an angel die so young?

"The famous pop star, rapper Jennie Kim seems to be seen at the entrance of the hospital. Sources say her dear, long childhood best friend lost someone close—". Jennie turned the tv off and frowned, staring back at me as I gazed at the black screen.

"I-I need to see her". I once again spoke, feeling myself at the edge of breaking down. My insides ate me alive while I tried to fight my way out to her heaven.

"Lisa..". With that, Jennie pulled me to her chest while I cried. My heart thumped with hurt, a gone vibrant sound; telling me that I can make it.

But can I?

"J-Jennie, she's gone..". I bit my lip, as tears slid down my face while I closed my eyes.

The gap between my heart and the moon could equal a thousand miles the sun was far from heaven. Saturn crashed into Pluto, breaking my heart like the choice I didn't make.

I could feel the sun, beam against my face, the curtains making everything seem in the brownish color in my eyes. Blue shades of silence holding my tongue as I cried into my lover's arms.

Lover?

That sounds like a dream I would say, but why did it take so long for destiny to commit the crime of making my happiness seem vivid?

Let alone, lose a loved one.

I bit my lip and tightened my hold against Jennie. She soothed me with her hand on my back, but no melody could be in comparison with the one inside my heart.

could there be a valid excuse to choose?

6:26 P.M

Here I am, standing by her grave. Staring at the lifeless ground, feeling like I'm staring at the mirror that left me clueless in the middle of the storm. They say a rainbow shines bright in the sky, whenever rain or a storm passes. But why was the sky so sad, grey, and quiet?

My hands became shaky, as I kneeled down to her grave.

Memories pulled me into the dark corner of being alive without any sort of relief. Nearly in my fall, Jennie placed her hand on my shoulder, squeezing a sign of hope.

"C-Chaeyoung?". I rasped.

A rose was trapped against my hand, as I bit my lip, my heart breaking with remembrance once again.

Flashback On.

I grinned at the joyful woman, who was all excited over seeing the stuffed teddy bear, her smile brightened up the skies, brought the darkness of the night into another peaceful phase. Rosè's eyes met mine cheerfully, her finger pointing towards the little bear.

"What do you want chipmunk?". I grinned.

"I want the teddy bear!". She jumped in her place, and begged; "please please, it's so cute and adorable".

"Do you know what else is cute?". I asked, trying to keep a serious expression.

She arched her eyebrows and stopped jumping, starting to frown like a child who didn't get what they want.

"You chipmunk". I pinched her cheek and ignored her. Paying the guy who was holding the stuffed bears. As I took the little bear and ran away, she screamed and ran after me like a kid as I chuckled, "You can't get me Rose, and yes I'm calling you a Rose!".

"Lisa-yah come back!". She jumped into my back, almost making me fall.

"Oh how come you got to me—". She cut me off, yanking the teddy bear out of my hands, "I'm taller". She mocked.

"True". I giggled.

Flashback End.

Tears were now running against my face like a waterfall. With a shaky hand, I placed the Rose into her grave. Wiping my tears and trying to maintain a strong posture. Meanwhile, my heart was crying out to have her back.

"R-remember when I used to call you rose instead?". I bit my lip, my heart bleeding out hurt as I stared down at her grave.

"Well my pretty Rose, I cross my heart, and promise you. That who did this will pay". I blankly stared at the ground, holding my hand like a fist as I remembered Kai's face.

"He will pay, good". I whispered. "He took you away, and now he will pay".

I promise.
