Only If I Could Unlove You

Chapter 12: Cook

°° Jayden's pov

Today, After what happened in the cafeteria,I didn't see Prissy till school was over.

I walked towards where mom had parked the car and saw that mom was already in it. I was about to get in when I realized she was crying. She wiped the tears off her face but it just kept coming. I was hurt. My heart felt heavy.

I grew up without a mother and it was hell. Being sent to different foster homes where there was no love and care for me. Everytime I prayed for someone to adopt me and love me but unfortunately that time never came. I almost gave up when she, Gloria came to my foster home. She looked at me and I couldn't help but be reminded of my mother....the same hazel nut hair and green eyes.
She smiled at me and decided to adopt me. Just when I thought I found a family...I realized just how much my Sister didn't want me.

Gloria must have seen me standing outside and she quickly wiped her tears.
I got into the car's backseat and greeted her. I didn't want to ask her about her crying. I couldn't so I let it be

It wasn't soon enough,Prissy finally came. She entered the car though the other side of the car's backseat door.busy on her phone as usual.

The drive home was quiet as usual.

The moment we got home,She was the first to get out as usual. Seems she really liked staying in the room.
I quietly got off and walked towards the front door...

"..... Jay"

I turned when I heard mom call behind me.

"I'll be going to do some work back in the school, I'll be back late in the evening. You two can order takeouts if you're hungry"

I knew she just wanted to cool off and just nodded with a small smile. I watched her drive of and I entered the house.

Climbing the stairs,I heard the sound of music coming from Prissy's room. My room was just opposite hers,so I heard the song she was listening to.

It was Alexander Stewart's song- day I die.

Opening the room door,I pushed it open and  got in. My room was just as big as her's at least that's what I thought. It's walls were painted in blue and black.
I slumped onto my middle sized bed and stared at the ceiling.

Though Prissy seems cold and distant to me. I knew it was just because I'm here. She just needs to get comfortable around me. I don't know how I'm going to do that but... I will. Just like what May said. She needs time and I understand that.

Two hours later

I opened my door ready to go downstairs and see what I could prepare. Although mom said to order... I'm not too keen on wasting money.

At the same time, The door to Prissy's door opened and she came face to face with me. She had changed into her house clothes. A big white t-shirt and black shorts. Her hair was tied into a messy bun and tendrils falling here and there over her face. She looked at me for a second then looked away.

She got out and closed the door behind her and made her way downstairs.
I followed behind.

When I got downstairs, I saw her open the fridge maybe looking for something to eat. She closed the fridge then entered the kitchen.

"Shit..."

I heard her curse. I walked into the kitchen, standing at the door's entrance I saw her taking an apple from the fruit basket

"Uh.. I'm going to prepare dinner. Just give me half an hour"

I noticed she was looking for something to eat so I said to her. She took a bit from the apple and walked past me.

"No need. I'll just order takeouts"

Before she could could climb the stairs I grabbed her wrist and she halted. I felt her stiffen.

" I'm begging. Please, just let me do this... I promise you'll love it."

I said.

" I'm not hungry"

She stated. She tried pulling her hand from my grip and I let it go.

" But you just said you'd order takeouts"
I said. I knew she just didn't want to be around me.

" I meant to do that later."

"But you're hungry" I said

"And I said I'm not..."

She denied but the room became quiet with what happened next.
