Love You Twice

Chapter 15

Chaewon

Have I gone insane? Maybe I fell and hit my head and it caused me to lose brain cells.

Because WHY WOULD I TELL JENNIFER SHE COULD STAY WITH ME?

Was it out of pity? No.

I don't pity her.

So why would I offer?

I don't come up with the answer even after pulling up beside my house.

Then it hits me again. My life is nothing like hers.

Will she even want to stay in my house after seeing this?

Huge, modern house that probably costs as much as my mom makes in 10 years, turns into a one story, 2 bed 2 bath house that looks like it would be where a horror movie takes place.

Am I being dramatic? Maybe a little. The inside is as nice as any other house, but people judge a book by its cover.

Maybe I won't have to worry about her staying because she will just drive right by after seeing what driveway I pull into.

I don't even pay attention to the driveway in front of me. Only Jennifer's car as I pull in and she does in fact follow behind.

When we get out of the car she doesn't bat an eye at my house.

"Thank you again." She says, and I just nod leading her to my front door.

I unlock it, and she follows me inside.

"I like your house. It's very homey." She says, touching some of the decor my mom keeps around the house.

"Thanks. My rooms this way. We don't have a spare bedroom, so I'll just sleep on the couch."

"No! I couldn't take your room from you. I can sleep on the couch." Jennifer says.

"You're my guest. You can't sleep on the couch." Jennifer smiles at me.

"Then looks like we are sharing your bed." There's that feeling in my stomach again. Maybe I do need to go to the doctor.

"Fine." My beds big enough for both of us. Usually my friends and I just cuddle up in the middle, but there's enough room for each of us to have a side.

Under the eyes of Jennifer, I'm made more aware of how girly my room is.

My light pink furniture, with stuffed animals covering my bed. Plants on shelves with hello kitty beside them. A bookshelf built above my desk that's covered in makeup from this morning and a pink fluffy lamp sitting in the corner.

My other wall hold my huge mirror that's surrounded by pictures of all my friends.

The desk beside my bed hold two picture frames. One of my mom and I, and the other is my friends and I.

"Your room is so cute." Jennifer says, looking at all my photos.

"It's kinda childish." In all honesty I love my room, but I don't want to sound like a loser.

"No, I love it." I smile at her.

"The bathroom is the door beside my room. There's towels hanging up, and I can give you some clothes." I dig out a pair of shorts and a big sweat shirt.

It's a sweatshirt from my school, but it's the biggest one I have. Jennifer is taller than me, so I'm trying to give her something that'll cover her comfortably.

"Thank you, Chaewon." I just nod at her, and she leaves to shower.

I grab my clothes, which is pajama pants and a shirt, before heading to my mom's room to shower.
