I knock on Jayden's door for the fifth time today. "Jayden can we just talk?" I yell through the door so I can make sure he hears. Ever since the kiss last night he hasn't talked to me. God, I'm so stupid. Why would I kiss him when he was clearly crying about someone else? Why are you so stupid Liam?
"Can you keep it down, some of us are trying to sleep," Morgan says from behind me as she makes her way to the kitchen while rubbing her eyes. "Besides, he's not gonna talk until he wants to, I've known him longer than you do so I should know." I watch her make herself some coffee. Oreo follows behind her with his puppy eyes, begging for a treat. She's only slept in my house for a day and she already knows her way around the place. Her pj's are all covered in sand from yesterday on the beach because she claimed that 'We're going to have a sleepover anyways so why wait to get into my pj's when I can wear them now?'
But to be fair I'm also wearing the same green hoodie from last night, which isn't like me to do. That's only because I was too worried about Jayden to care about what I was wearing.
I gave up on trying to make Jayden talk to me and continued to focus on my latest drawing. I've never been good at drawing animals so what better way to practice than to draw Oreo. I pulled out my phone to find the picture I took of him a couple of days back. Normally I prefer drawing real-time objects but it's impossible to make Oreo stand still for more than 30 seconds. So a picture will do I guess. I placed my phone against the vase of roses in the middle of the table and flipped open my sketchbook when I heard a knock at the front door. I went to open it but before I placed my hand on the knob, the door opened. It was Kristal and she is... holding a baby? She comes inside as I shut the door. "Uhh- who's baby is that?" I ask. "I'm helping take care of kids. Isn't she the cutest?" She says.
Morgan laughs as she makes her way over to us. "What makes you think you're a good babysitter when you lose things every day," Morgan says. "Shut up! Not like you can do any better." Chloe yells. The baby is adorable, she seems to be 1 year old. Barley is learning how to walk. I watch as she steps one foot in front of the other as she tries not to lose balance. Eventually, she fell on her bum and began to crawl instead. "What's her name?" I ask.
"Juliana." Kristal answers. Oreo seems to be fond of Juliana. He keeps wagging his tail and running around her as Juliana tries to chase after him. "Did the parents give you toys or food to give her?" Kristal ask. "Yeah, they're a right h- oh shit..." Kristal says. "I think I forgot the bag at her place." "See what I mean," Morgan smirks. "Shut up Morgan!" Kristal yells "Liam can I use your car to go get them?" Kristal ask. "Uh sure. But who's gonna take care of the baby? I already got my Lil monster to take care of." I say looking at Oreo who can't stop licking Juliana's face. "Don't worry, kids love me." Morgan picks up the baby but Juliana starts crying immediately. She puts her back down on the floor as I try to hold on to my laugh. "Who are you kidding?" Kristal laughs hysterically. "Whatever." "Ok so if we can't take care of her, who will?" I say. At that moment, Jayden comes out of his room still dressed now his pjs. He rubs his eyes, then notices all three of us turning in his direction. He then turns to look at the baby. 'Oh no,' he mouths.
