Original POV:

I woke up, getting up slowly as I rub the back of my head. I glanced around as there's no sign of Brendy. My body ached but I can still walk around luckily. I proceed to head downstairs with my black sports bra and shorts, instantly getting hit with a strong smell of bacon and pancakes. I rush to the kitchen as I see Brendy humming to herself, making the bacon as she flipped it with her hands, along with the pancakes. It made me confused at first but I didn't question anything.

I sat down on the couch as she served the food, placing the plates on the dining table as she walked over to me. I timidly looked at her, crawling back a bit before she held my cheek gently. I jolted in surprise but it felt nice, a genuine gentle touch. I calmed down as I leaned into her touch. I craved for this, closing my eyes as I savior this moment. My mind feels at ease as this was all I ever wanted. Brendy then held my hand as she leads me to the table, sitting me down as I ate very slowly.

It felt weird that she's caring for me so much, after she tried to murder and torture me. I don't like this little game that she has going on but I can deal with it for now. I just want this feeling, just for once. After me and her finished eating, we were just sitting on the couch awkwardly. I looked at her with a upset expression as Brendy looked at me too but with her stone cold face. "May I ask you something?" I whispered as I scoot over to her a bit. She chucked as she said with confidence, "You just did but go ahead." I huff, a bit irritated but I sigh and wondered, "Why didn't you kill me? Heck, why are you even trying to take care of me at this very moment. Weren't you trying to kill me..?"

She looked at the window as she chuckled a bit more, "That's the same thing I asked you when you offered to help me. I mean I got it off overnight but still, you are now in my shoes of when we first met."

I didn't know what to think about it as it did seem like a familiar situation. All I did was just nod in acknowledgement before leaning on her shoulder. We stayed there in silence before I hear my phone buzzing. I still lay on her shoulder, picking up the phone as I open the new text message.

"So when can I come over?"

I get cold sweat seeing that as I try not to worry too much.

Me
"Possibly this afternoon but you'll have to leave before 9 pm. Does that sound ok with you?"

Bestie Bae <3
"That sounds just fine, I'll be over at 2! Cya in a bit ❤️❤️❤️"

"Who are you texting?" Brendy asked as she rested her head on my shoulder/neck, looking at my phone.  I showed her the phone as she showed visible discomfort and went very serious immediately. "Why are you inviting someone over?" She demanded to know. "I thought it might be fun to have someone over" I said joyful but a bit nervous about Brendy's reaction.

Brendy sighed before leaning on the couch, taking the whole space as I sat on the arm of the couch. Brendy then turned her head and began saying, "Fine, I'll allow them to stay but they have to leave at 5:30" She then put her legs beside me from behind as I just relaxed a bit, putting down my phone and reading my book again. It was like I suddenly got a new roommate, it's nice and weird. Hopefully I learn how to deal with it soon but for now, everything will be new.

After hours of waiting, my friend finally arrived at 3:54, took his ass long enough. I went to go open the door as Brendy instantly wrapped her arms around my back, putting her face in my hair.

Jin looked down at us confused as he opened the door fully with a whole ass basket of cookies and macaroons. "So how's the business going on so far?" I asked Jin as I ate a cookie, burning my tongue. "It's going good, however time and time again some weird man with a funny smile comes to my shop and orders a tray of macaroons." Jin said, getting me a glass of water as Brendy's still shaking behind me. Jin then asked as they walked behind me to see Brendy, "So who are they? Haven't seen them before." Brendy waved scared as she's on the verge of fucking tears, grasping onto my shoulders as she digs her claws into me. "Her name's Brendy." I sighed as I pat Brendy softly.
