The Forgotten

Chapter 17

Jennie POV

I grab the keys to the apartment barely keeping my eyes open because I was really tired and sleepy. It has been a long and crazy night. I can't wait to throw myself to bed and doze off, luckily I don't have to go to work until noon. My head is killing me so I have to drink as much water as possible before I go inside my room. I don't suffer any hangover in the morning

Technically it was already morning, it's freaking 2:17 am.

I opened the door and first noticed the lights were already open, I remember turning them off before leaving but I may have just imagined it? I took off my heels but noticed an unfamiliar shoe... or I am just hallucinating because I'm currently drunk as of the moment so I did what any drunk person would do ignore it. I went straight to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of water

"Guess you don't really care anymore Lisa" I leaned on the countertop using my hands to support myself as I talked to myself once again. I took a deep breath and turned around, I almost had a heart attack when I saw a tall, thin, short-haired woman stand in front of me

I shook my head aggressively and slapped my cheeks to make sure I wasn't dreaming

"Happy Anniversary Nini" she held out an envelope, my hands started shaking as I made my way towards her. She gave me a small smile as she offers the envelope inviting me to take it from her

"I'm sorry" she almost whispered but a loud slap echoed through the room, she held her cheek as my palm started to feel a tingling sense it also started going red because of the impact

"Fuck you" I hissed shooting daggers at her

"I'm sorry Jennie" her eyes avoiding me, all my feelings suddenly kept rushing in. Anger, frustration, guilt, and disappointment

"Sorry? You left without a word for fucking 6 months and all you can come up with is a stupid sorry?" I scoffed disgustedly at her attempted apology. She tried to grab my hand but I pulled it away

"Did you know I waited for you every single day?" I avoided my gaze at her as tears started rolling down "Every day I wonder if you ever think of me, how I run back thru my memories on why or what was the reason you suddenly left. Did you know I blamed myself? Maybe I was not any help when you needed me" my heart was breaking into pieces I couldn't even look at her. I wanted to shut at her hit her but maybe because of the alcohol and fatigue I didn't have the strength to. I let myself slump on the floor

"You didn't do anything, it was all my fault I'm sorry" she kneeled in front of behaving second thoughts if she should touch me or not but decided on the latter

"I tried my best to be there Lisa, I didn't ask you too much because I didn't want to annoy you but how can understand what's going on if you don't tell me anything. I feel so useless to you right" I burst out crying, it was true.
