she still clamped her mouth shut and looked in the opposite direction.
"look, if you're still going to be mad at me I get it you can leave whenever you want. I just don't like making you or really anyone feel like shit so if you could just forgive and forget that'd be great." the last part of that I realized I said too harshly but tried feebly to cover up.
"it's not you, Cara," she finally looked my way, "I'm just thinking, that's all. just give me a moment."

Kendall POV
after Cara's conversation (basically to herself) I went in her spare bedroom to think a while. I couldn't tell you exactly what I was thinking about because it was a lot of things really. It wasn't entirely about her either, most of it was family back home or etc...
I partly missed being back home with the constant disagreements or drama, its weird in a way, yes but it was home to me. After awhile there was a knock on my door, Cara came in and sat down on the foot of the bed.
We didn't talk for awhile but it wasn't awkward in all means, I was still deep in thought while she was playing with her thumbs. She seemed pretty uncomfortable but I relaxed at her presence surprisingly.
"So back to when you woke up- " she started
"Don't worry about it," I told her, "You didn't do anything really bad anyways, I'm just thinking of back home that's all."
"Oh...gotcha." she thought for minute, "Well, I don't know how to help you on that one but everyone misses somebody once in awhile. I'm sure they miss you too of course."
"Yeah, I know you're right...do you miss your parents at all? do they visit you?"
She hesitated.
"For sure I miss them...sometimes but I've been too busy to see them much." she looked down but took a brighter side of the situation as usual, "just one of those things you have to live with. I'll see them sooner or later."
I put my hand on her thigh reassuringly, she looked down at it and I quickly took it off.
"You know you can tell me anything, right?" I twirled my hair around my fingers absentmindedly.
"I'm good."
"Really?"
"Sure." she smiled, "I'll let you know."
With that said she got up and closed the door behind her. She certainly has something on her mind when she came in but I stopped myself from wondering, from being so nosey.
After awhile I went out of my room and saw Cara cooking, failing again. I noticed she was cooking spaghetti soon enough as we sat down.
"Okay, for now on I'm cooking." I joked
"No, no, no if you're staying here I have to cook."
I rested my hand on her arm
"Trust me, I can cook whatever you want while I'm here."
she paused.
"Yeah, okay, if its fine with you I guess."
