Damaged

Chapter 17- Kayla

I was opening up more to Jake than I thought I would, he makes me feel safe. I think I might even trust him a little bit.

I had picked a movie called Annabelle. It looked like a cute movie about cute little dolls. I didn't listen when Jake tried to warn me. I didn't realize that this movie was scary, boy was I suprised. I had handled a few of the minor scary parts but when it got to a really scary part I jumped. I didn't realize what I was doing because I was so scared. I hate that I get spooked so easily. 

"Do you wanna change the movie?" He whispered to me calmly. I was too scared to say anything so I just nodded. He changed the movie to a movie I wasn't familiar with, it looked calmer and less scary than the other movie. I wasn't sure what happened next but I believe I fell asleep because I no longer saw the movie nor heard it. 

When I woke up I felt my head on a comfortable but also not very comfortable object. I lifted my head slightly and realized I had fallen asleep on Jakes shoulder. I quickly jumped back and scrambled back on the couch. This action seemed to wake him up. 

"Hmm? What's wrong?" He asked seeming worried. 

"W-why was I- wha-what happened?" I asked a bit scared. 

"You fell asleep on my shoulder while we were watching a movie." He said in a calm manner. 

"D-did anything happen?" I stuttered. 

"No, I promise nothing happened, I didn't do anything to you, you got scared watching the first movie, jumped into my arms and about halfway through the second movie you fell asleep on my shoulder. I didn't want to move you so I just let you sleep how you were, eventually I fell asleep and now here we are." He said reassuringly. He didn't hurt me, didn't lock me in a basement, didn't even try to take advantage of me.. this was.. different, but a good different, I think. 'but why?' I asked myself. 

"Why? Why didn't you try anything?" I asked him. 

"Why would I try anything, I told you I wasn't going to hurt you. I was serious." He said. 

"You promise?" I asked hesitantly. 

"I promise." He said putting his hand on his heart. Maybe I could try and trust him a little bit. 

"Are you hungry?" He asked me standing up and stretching. 

"Yeh." 

"Alright, waffles?" 

"Yeh." 

"Coming right up." He said going twords the kitchen. I watched as he walked to the kitchen and when he got there I turned and looked at my hands. I hadn't realized I was smiling until I reached up and put my hand on my face. 

It didn't take long for him to finish the waffles.

"Waffles are ready." He said. I went and sat at the little island that was in the kitchen. I didn't see the waffles so I figured they were behind him. 

"I made you a surprise." He started slowly. 

"..okay.." I responded back. 

"So I know this is different but I added something to the waffles that I thought you might like." He said, I responded with silence. He put the waffles on the island and that's when I noticed little brown spots on them. 

"What's that?" I asked a little panicked. 

"It's just chocolate chips, I figured it'd be worth a try, you don't have to eat them though." He said with a nervous smile. I knew I liked chocolate, but in waffles? That actually sounded really good. 

"Okay...I'll try it." I said taking a waffle and putting it on my plate. I just hoped this wasn't poison, he said he wouldn't hurt me but would he? You can never be too careful. 

I took my fork and cut off a small peice. He watched me with hopeful eyes. 

"You take a bite first." I said, making sure it really wasn't poisoned or drugged. 

"Okay." He said with a shrug, putting a waffle on his plate and taking a bite. He seemed fine so it looked like it was fine. Deciding to trust him a little I took a small bite. It was delicious a, mix of 2 of my favorite foods. I'm glad he mixed these two amazing things and made something even more amazing. 

"Oh my god this is so good." I hummed with my mouthful.he smiled. 

"I'm glad you like it." 

"Mmmhmm, I love it." I said. I finished the first one and decided to get an entire other waffle.

When we were done I had eaten 2 and a half waffles and was so full I barely wanted to move. 

"Why don't you go sit on the couch and watch TV, I'll clean up." He said taking the plates and putting them in the sink. I nodded and went to sit on the couch. I eventually decided to watch a movie called the outsiders.

(A/n I have not seen  the outsiders yet so pls don't spoil the movie, I've read the book but pls dont spoil it.)
