Illegal Love Letters

5. HIM

She is really waiting for me, I can hear her humming a song I think was (Everything I Do) I Do It For You by Bryan Adams; Don't tell me, it's not worth fightin' for. I can't help it, there's nothing I want more...

''Hey J, what are you doing here? Wanna come?'' Someone asked her.

''No, thanks, I'm waiting for a friend. She's the new girl. We're gonna eat together-''. She says, but the other girl interrupted her.

''yeah, sure''. Rude but true.

''And I will show her this place''. She continues, but with her voice was fading, like she was kinda sad about what the other girl said.

''I bet she gonna love it'' Sarcasm. ''See you later, J''.

''Bye, Savannah''. She sounds happy tho.

A friend. She actually said friend. I shouldn't be that excited. It's dangerous. I can be her friend and be there if she needs someone. But I want no friends. I don't need any more betrayals at the moment.

I put on the first clothes I found; a black and white plaid shirt tied on my waist and black distressed jeans. Something basic.

When I open my door I see Jaycee on the floor, still singing, alone and cute.

''So you like Bryan Adams?'' I say to break the ice.

Her eyes open fast, I said something wrong or she is just surprised. I can't tell.

''I think I love you''. And she smile.

Now the surprised one it's me.

I know she doesn't mean it, but still. The three words are so big for me. I don't know how someone can love me.

Actually I think the love you have for your partner is because humans are afraid to be alone. So humanity created love as an escape for lonelyness.

''Thanks'' was the only answer that I could think of. We both laugh because it's obvious my awkwardness. But our laugh is cordinated. Make me feel great.

When we arrive at the dining room we look where our places are. They allocate all of us randomly and you have to look for your name in a poster in the principal door of the room. Also there is a paper in your site with your name, that way no one can lose.

At least, we're not that far. She's in the table next to me, so I can still feel her company, some way. In my table, are two boys and four girls. I reconize Brooke's name from the theraphy, but that's all. So many ppl to know yet.

''I'm allergic to this, you can't make me eat this!'' A boy in the line started complaining. I couldn't see who was it.

''No, you're not''. The cook complained too, and it seems like she didn't give a fuck. ''Next''.

''Whatever''. The boy took his tray and walked angrily up to his site. The only think I saw was his neck.

Oh no, he was the boy about last night. Jaycee's ex. Hot voice tho, it had to be said, sorry.

I look at Jaycee, she's looking down at the floor. Maybe she's feeling down too?. I guess seeing your ex the next day after the breakup it's not the easiest thing to do.

I touch her shoulder, I don't know what else can I do. She jump and fake a smile. I barely know her, but I can tell that smile wasn't a true one.

Our breakfast consiste of some toast with strawberry jam, and you can choose between coffee or hot chocolate.

We walk to our sits. I was being so careful because I didn't want to dropped my coffee.

When I sit we are only threein the table. A girl who looks like she maybe just woke up, because of her hair in a half-undone braid and her clothes that looks like a pijama to me.

The other one is the boy complaining in the line. Jaycee's ex. We exchanged glances butnothing else.

I start eating while people in our table were arriving.

''Nutcracker''. No idea why I responded to that name but I look up for some reason, and there is he. Staring at me. With those eyes. ''How is she?'' and he point her with his face. I look at her, she's playing with her spoon in the coffee. Jaycee.

''She's okay. And if she's not, she will be''.

He makes a face that I can't even say what does it means.

''Anyway, can you do me a favor?'' He asks.
