This weekend, I'm a shut-in. 
Jisoo has come to my house a total of 72 times. Yes, I counted. It's exactly 72.
My mom tried to get us to talk, but I shut the door in Jisoo's face and locked it. Then I told my mom to ignore Jisoo no matter how many times she knocked and rang the doorbell. She came back two times in an hour, then got desperate and came back like every five minutes.
"Go away!" I opened my window when mom poked her head into my room complaining about her headache.
"Lisa! Please!" Jisoo begged. 
"Go away or I'll call the cops," I say. 
She was crying and it broke my heart.
"Can you please explain to me why you two are fighting? You looked so happy at the softball game." Mom sat next to me on the bed.
"Because she's a liar," I wipe frantically at my own tears that refused to stop.
"Lisa, people make mistakes. I'm sure Jisoo didn't mean to hurt you. It's obvious you two still love each other. You should give her a second chance."
"No. Go away!" I push my mom off my bed.
She sighs and leaves the room just as the doorbell rang again. 
"Deal with this, please." Mom complains.
"Am I not allowed to talk to Jisoo anymore?" Yuna asks. I sigh.
Then I march downstairs and open the door. Jisoo's eyes lit up when she saw me.
"Please go away," I said in defeat. 
"Just talk to me," she begs.
"There is nothing left to say." I move to shut the door. She stops me.
"Jisoo, go away! What more do I have to do to spell it out!? I don't want to see you ever again. Just leave me alone."
She engulfs me in a hug and my heart stops.
"I'm sorry." She whimpers.
I sob and bury my head into her shoulder. 
"Please give me another chance." She begs.
I pull back and look into her eyes. She's not wearing her contacts. Her eyes are actually blue. I like them better this way.
"I know what I did was stupid. I should have just talked to you. If I could take it back, I would. I never meant to hurt you. Never..." 
She caresses my face, wiping my tears.
I open my mouth to say something when, "Lisa?" Rosie stops her bike in front of my house. 
I flinch and quickly push Jisoo away.
"Go away. I won't say it again. I mean it!" I shout at her. She looks hurt.
My chest aches. 
"Lisa please."
"Get away from her!" Rosie marches over to us. Jisoo backs up.
"Get out of here! She doesn't want to talk to you ever again! You are a disgusting human being and we are both sorry for ever knowing you." Rosie spat at her.
Jisoo looks at me but I hide behind Rosie and say, "Go."
She breaks into sobs, runs to her car, and finally leaves me alone. 
"You okay?" Rosie turns to me.
"Yeah," I wipe my face. "She's been basically stalking me all weekend. I was just frustrated with her."
