I held my head in my hands. My head was pounding. My stomach lurched again and I grabbed the trash can I had close, throwing up acid.
I heard footsteps and I looked up weakly. Jason walked in and frowned. He walked over and kissed my sweaty forehead that was warm with fever.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to make you a bath ba-bud. " he said, hesitation at calling me babe clear. It stung. He always called me babe. Well, almost always. I just nodded and he walked into the bathroom.
I set down the trash can and laid down, closing my eyes.
"Mumei, babe I need you to wake up. "
My eyes slowly fluttered open and i blinked tiredly at the light around me.
"I'm going to help you get your pjs off babe. " he said gently. I nodded sleepily and rose my arms. Soon I was in the bubble filled bath, Jason gently massaging shampoo into my hair. I sighed contently and tilted my head back into his hands.
"Uh... Mumei?" Jason spoke hesitatingly.
"Yeah?" I replied, looking at him.
"I uh, think I should stop calling you babe-I mean it's just, I just asked out Matt today and I don't want him to get the wrong idea and stuff, you know like Janie did?" He said a bit quietly in an apologetic tone.
I froze and pushed his hands away lightly. I hugged my knees to my chest and looked at him. "So you and Matt are dating?" I asked quietly.
He nodded, watching me with sad eyes. I slowly nodded and looked down. "Good. I'm happy for you both. " I said softly. "You can go down stairs. I'm going to be fine. " I said before looking away.
"Mumei-"
"Just go. Go spend time with Matt. " I said a bit harsher.
Jason sighed and got up, leaving. I closed my eyes and rested my head back. I got up carefully and dried off before changing into some soft, fuzzy pajama pants and a large shirt.
A knock came to my door. I groaned softly but opened the door. Matt looked at me with a fake smile. I could see Jason at the stairs.
"Hey! I figured maybe we could talk?" Matt asked, glancing back at Jason.
"Sure," I said quietly moving aside. Matt looked down at me as the door with a hateful glare.
"Listen, I get you've had some sort of shit happen or something but you need to get over yourself. It's not Jason's fault your a slut that let some sort of shit happen. Jason may act like he cares but he doesn't. He just feels sorry for sad excuse of a bitch. Your truly pathetic, so stay away from my boyfriend. Maybe he'll get lucky and you'll actually be able to kill yourself next time. " he hissed.
I looked at him in shock, tears burning at my eyes. Thoughts ran through my head as he left the room and a soft sob left my lips. I rubbed at my eyes hiccuping softly. I sniffled and climbed into my bed, crying into my pillow. A knock came to my door but I ignored it.
"Mumei why the fuck did you say that to Matt? He's broke down once he left your room!" Jason seethed walking in.
I clutched my pillow and cried harder.
"Will you stop! Stop trying to make me feel bad for you! Matt told me what you told him." Jason said, punching the wall.
I began shaking my head no, my breathing labored. He's going to hit me. I clutched my head, sobbing harsher. Memories flowed through my head.
"Shut it slut!" The monster of a human hissed, his foot connecting to my side harshly. He pulled me up by my hair and sneered. "Fine. I'll give you a reason to actually scream," he said with a smirk, tearing the rags off my body.
"Stop!" I sobbed holding my head. I could feel someone trying to hold me but I shoved them back, scrambling away. I looked around my eyes wide with fear as I panted. My eyes landed on my mom and a chocked sob left my lips. I flung myself at her and hugged onto her tightly.
"Shhh, your alright. I've got you," she soothed gently.
"It's not my fault! I didn't mean to let him! I swear I didn't say anything to Matt!" I sobbed, hugging her tighter.
"I know honey. I know you didn't. " she said holding me tighter.

I rubbed at my eyes as they drooped, forcing them open. I looked at the clock. Three o'clock. I sighed. I got up and rubbed my eyes, opening my door and quietly walked downstairs. I froze, seeing Matt cuddled in Jason on the couch, his tongue down Jason's throat.
I looked away and continued to the kitchen. I looked through the cupboards before finding a pack of peach rings. I sat down on the floor, nibbling on the sweet candy. My eyes fluttered closed but I forced them back open. I rubbed at them as I continued to nibble on the candy. Once again my eyes closed, staying closed.

Jason's POV
Matt walked out of Mumei's room around ten minutes after I asked him to talk to him with water eyes. I frowned and stepped closer wrapping an arm around his waist.
"Baby?" I asked gently. He shook his head no and begin to cry, clinging to me.
I gently scooped him up, holding him close. "Shhh baby, what happened?" I soothed kissing his head.
"H-he-" Matt began but a loud wail left his lips. Mom rushed upstairs and frowned.
"I-I told him that I was sorry for any hard feelings and he told me that didn't want an apology. H-he said that I was pathetic and that y-you'd never want to date me, that you just wanted a quick hook up. " he cried.
I frowned and kissed his head. "I'm going to go talk to him. " I mumbled setting him down and knocking on his door. I walked in when he didn't answer and glared at the boy on the bed.
"Mumei why the fuck did you say that to Matt? He's broke down once he left your room!" I seethed.
I grew more frustrated as he continued to cry.
"Will you stop! Stop trying to make me feel bad for you! Matt told me what you told him." I said, punching the wall.
I froze as I watched the boy crumble in front of me. Guilt washed over me.
I got on the bed. "Mumei I-" I started but Mumei pushed me away and scrambled up the other side of the bed, his eyes roaming the room with fear in them. Mom walked in and slowly walked close to him. He let out a loud sob and threw his arms around clinging tightly, mumbling to her.
I sighed and walked out. Matt was sitting in my room, playing on my phone with puffy eyes and stuffed nose. He looked up and reached for me. I carefully hugged him and kissed his head. I can't think about him. Matt is my boyfriend, not Mumei.
