Rosé POV
My phone started ringing filling the room full of tunes of the various notes it contained. I picked up my phone the top of the counter and saw that it was Jennie. I clicked the green circle on the screen to accept the call.
"Jennie? What's up."
"Rosé, where you at school today?"
"Yeah? Did you forget anything?
"No, it's about something else. Did you hear from Lisa today?"
"Lisa? We don't talk much, and I don't have her number."
"Well she hasn't texted me back from this morning."
"At school?"
"Yeah, did you see her other than at school today?"
"No, I only saw her this morning and yesterday."
Yesterday... my breath hitched. Flashbacks came back faster than I anticipated. The images danced around the room I was in reminding me what happened.
"Can you help me find her?"
"Sure, let me call Jisoo."
"Great, the more people to help, the less time it will take to find her. I hope she is alright."
I ended the call with the tap of my pointer finger. I searched through my favorites and found 'Chichu'. I clicked her name and dialed her number faster than I can remember. The phone dialed for a good minute or two before she picked up.
"Rosé?"
"Jisoo, do you know where Lisa is?"
"Lisa? No why."
"Jennie says she is not reachable."
"Jennie? If she can't find her something bad must've happened. Those two haven't been apart from each other since forever. If Jennie can't find her we need to find her quickly Rosé."
Panic started to set in. Why am I freaking out? Why do I care so much that she is missing?
"Alright, Jisoo can you come over? I would appreciate it if you could help Jennie and I help find Lisa."
"Sure Rosé."
I ended the called and dialed Jennie yet again. She picked up after the first ring.
"What's the plan?"
"Come over to my house quick. We will meet up here. Jisoo is on her way."
"I will be there as soon as I can."
I patiently waited in my room. I couldn't stop fidgeting with my hands and feet. I really hope Lisa is alright. She has saved many times, and I haven't paid her back yet. I really want to show her my thanks...
It took both Jennie and Jisoo ten minutes to finally arrive.
"Did you call her parents?" Jisoo exclaimed.
"They didn't pick up." Jennie replied.
Silence welcomed us as we sat on my couch trying to figured out what could've happened. I tried to remember what happened earlier this morning but nothing came up. nothing that would help us. I tried to come up with another reason that she could be missing. Did those bad guys get her? Oh my gosh, I hope not! I started to panic. Jennie saw the mental breakdown that was about to erupt within myself.
"Rosé, are you ok?"
Jisoo turned in my direction as well with worried eyes.
"Rosé?"
After that I broke down. I couldn't hold back the tears. The saltiness of my tears was all I could taste. I couldn't breathe properly either as I started to have unsteady breaths. Jennie and Jisoo came to my side and tried to calm me down.
"Rosé, calm down. Are you okay?" Jisoo looked at me worriedly.
I started to calm down and Jennie passed me some tissues to wipe my face. I sniffed as I took slow and steady breaths.
"Rosé, do you want to explain why you had a mental breakdown in the middle of no where?"
I stayed silent for a couple minutes before I opened my mouth. I whispered so softly that they couldn't hear me.
"Say it again, I didn't quite hear you clearly Rosé." Jennie looked at me questionably.
I lifted my head up and looked at Jisoo quickly before settling my eyes on Jennie.
"Lisa and I, we um, we decided to hang out yesterday after bumping into each other."
I looked down as the war flashbacks corrupted my mind. Images flying everywhere I looked. I shut my eyes shaking violently. I breathed through my nose before I spoke again.
"We were taken away, and blind-folded. Lisa was tied to a chair and I had a knife held to my neck. I was so terrified, and Lisa looked so helpless. These men wanted something from Lisa. I don't know what they wanted but she knew them. She clearly had an encounter with these men before and it wasn't in a friendly manner either. If I can remember correctly, one of the men was called Mino. He was very well built and-."
I couldn't finished before I choked up and started to cry again. Jennie and Jisoo's face were completely in shock.
"Rosé... why didn't you tell us this?"
I looked up, teary-eyed, before I spoke.
"I was scared. Lisa didn't seem to be bothered either so i thought it wasn't a big deal."
"WASN'T A BIG DEAL? Rosé... you were KIDNAPPED and almost KILLED. That isn't something serious to tell someone about?" Jennie looked at me with a concerned face.
"I didn't want anyone hurt. I thought if I told anyone, Lisa would get more hurt."
Jennie and Jisoo looked at each other before they looked back at me with a serious look on their faces.
"Rosé, was Lisa hurt?" Jennie questioned.
"I... I don't exactly remember." I looked down shamefully.
"I think we should-." Jisoo was cut off when we heard the pure shriek of the home phone ringing.
I got up quickly, and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Rosé, honey, do you know a Lisa?"
I looked up to Jennie and Jisoo before I spoke again.
"Mom? Yes I do, we are currently looking for her. She has been mis-."
"She's in the hospital. The school called all families to warn families of an attempt of homicide. Lisa was part of that attempt. She is alright but she is very hurt."
I dropped the home phone as it shattered against the neatly titled floors.
"Rosé?" Jennie and Jisoo called at in concern.
I couldn't hear anything. The noises around me started to fade. My vision quickly was being rimmed with pitch blackness, slowly evading my entire view. I almost fell because my legs gave out but someone caught me.
"Rosé! Ro-.. R-!"
"Rosé! Stay awake!"
My vision started to comeback as I felt myself being laid on the couch. I looked up and say Jennie and Jisoo with concerned faces.
"Rosé what did your mother tell you?"
"Li-..." I tried to speak but I couldn't catch my breath.
"Lisa... is in the hospital."
Jennie whispered in Jisoo's ear when I suddenly felt myself moving. They helped walked to Jisoo's car and buckled myself up. Jisoo started the car, while Jennie hopped in the front seat and buckled up faster than I have ever seen. The car started to move backwards as Jisoo had the shift in reverse. I looked outside, and the images of the trees, grass, and cars flew by quickly. Jennie turned on the radio and turned to Jisoo and whispered incoherent words that I couldn't hear. Jisoo sped up quickly, pausing at the stop lights, and gearing it when it turned green. Suddenly, the car was parked and in front was the hospital. Jennie and Jisoo got out of the car, and opened my side of the car. I unbuckled quickly as I followed Jennie and Jisoo.
Jennie stopped in front of the reception desk and coughed loudly to catch the attention of the nurse who wasn't paying attention. The nurse looked up with a smile on her face.
"How may I help y-."
"What room is Lisa Manoban in?" Jennie rushed out.
"Room 888"
Jennie ran through the white hallways filled with many nurses and doctors. Jisoo and I quickly followed her in pursuit. We skidded to a stop once we reached our destination, room 888. We were about to open the door before a nurse came out.
"Who are you young ladies? What brings you to this side of the hospital. I'm nurse Chua, do you need help?"
Jennie quickly step sided around Nurse Chua, and went inside without a word. Jisoo nodded towards me, indicating that I should follow. Jisoo started to inform the Nurse as I rushed inside. Jennie was crying by the side of Lisa who was clearly not awake at the moment. She looked so dead. She was pale white, and it looked like she wasn't breathing. There was a very scary man next to Lisa as well. He grunted and spoke harsh words before slamming his hand on the table.
"Shitty kids. Ruining my chance to end it all."
He walked away with dark and menacing eyes. He stopped at the entrance of the door before turning around and looking me up and down with a smirk.
"Interesting..." He spoke quietly under his breath.
