To rebuild our home

Jon's POV

I was hungry, but I didn't felt like looking in Eduardo's disappointed face, because if I would have to face him then I would break down. I just know that I would break down in tears in front of him and show him what a fool I am. He would only get more annoyed by my presence and I would only be sadder. Mark opened the door of my room and faced me while I sat on my bed, I then walked over to him and stood there in the doorframe while he backed away in the corridor. He wanted to give me some personal space, but still it felt as if he couldn't resist the urge to come checking out on me as if he cared whether I was feeling well or not.

"You have to be hungry Jon. You are probably just worried about getting yelled at by Eduardo or something, but he isn't going to attack you. I will make sure of that. Now come, before the food gets cold." Mark told me with a slight smile on his face. I returned his smile but still lied to him.

"No, it is not because of Eduardo. It's just that I am not hungry. Don't worry I will be fine. Please, eat without me." I responded and tried as best as I could not to tear up, I didn't wanted to be his center of attention right now and tried to seem somewhat okay so that he would leave me alone. I was ashamed of lying to him, but at the same time I wouldn't want him to inflict himself in trouble because of me I want him and Eduardo to get along at least.

A frown now appeared on blond male's face, he seemed unsure but didn't asked me anything or argued with me. Suddenly I saw his mouth slightly open before he was on his way downstairs, but as abrupt as he opend his mouth he closed it shut again, nodded to let me know that he understood what I said and headed down to the kitchen.

Here I was alone again in my room. It was already dark outside but I didn't turned on a light, I just slipped back into my bed this time under the bedsheet. I cried to myself until I felt so drained out that I fell asleep.

Mark's POV

This seemed strange to me. Jon never skipped a meal of the day, but this time he did. Well, this is a first. I am sure that he is hungry and lied to me. He seemed nervous and tugged on the end of his long sleeved shirt, this was indicated that he was probably lying to me. Besides that he slightly pursed his lips wich also showed that he could have lied. But what else could be the reason that he didn't wanted to come downstairs to eat.

I think that it is because of Eduardo. Maybe he damaged this poor guy more than I would have thought and made him afraid of him in an enormous way. I mean if I would be in his skin I would also be afraid of a hot headed man like him also because he is bigger and also stronger than Jon and well also because of his sudden outbursts. I don't blame him for being afraid after what he had done to him, but at the same time I don't think that avoiding this problem would be the best solution. I sighed, maybe thing's are going to end up better for Jon Tomorrow. This was still a thought that I was holding onto, but I slightly felt as if time wasn't going to heal his wounds this time.

Finally I reached the kitchen and sat down in front of my plate with the food already served on it. Eduardo sat beside me and was already starting to eat once I was sat down. He didn't even cared if Jon would come or not. I looked concerned and slightly sad at the plate and the seat where Jon would have usually have been right now and soon after stared at Eduardo with a expression of disgust and anger all over my face.

Eduardo felt my stare and stopped eating for a moment. "What's the matter with you?" He asked me half curious and half anoyed. "What's the matter?! Jon isn't here and you don't even care why he would skip his meal all of a sudden. This is one of his favorite foods. He could be here right now, smiling and joking around but instead he is up there in his room, starving!" I spat out at the stubborn male that sat next to me.

"Heh yeah, and now what do you want me to do about this? It's not like I wanted to see this whiney and useless guy right now. He has to learn that his actions have consequences, maybe now he finally understands that. Also isn't it way nicer here without this stupid boy?" He asked me with a wide smirk across his face. This made me lose my temper.
