4 Bad Boys and 1 Girl #Wattys2016

Doing The Dishes

"Jenna! You woke up?!" Ian said as they all got up from their seats and looked at me. How dare he talk to me? 

"You don't even have a little bit of shame, do you? First you betray me and then you have the audacity to talk to me! Don't you even dare look at me or I'll grab your eyeballs out, you jerk!" I said, pointing my finger at him while he looked down at the floor, shuffling his feet. 

"Jenna! Enough! Ian is my friend and I will not let you talk to him like that. He did that because I told him to. You got a problem with that?" Michael said in a challenging voice as he moved forward a little.

"No. Of course not. I don't have a problem with that. You can keep me here as long as you want. I'm having the time of my life here." I clapped my hands together and as I smiled sweetly at him, I could feel the blood boiling through his veins as he clenched his hands into fists. I rolled my eyes and then disappeared into the kitchen because all the verbal fight had definitely increased my hunger.

While I poured milk into my bowl of cereal, I heard Michael yelling, "I'LL KILL THAT BITCH!" and the low voice of Ashton who was probably trying to calm him down. Tears rolled down my cheek and afraid that they will roll into my cereal, I quickly wiped them. Yeah, I care about food a lot. But only when it's my food. I leaned on the kitchen counter and started thrusting spoonfuls of cereal into my mouth. My shirt was sticking to my body and I desperately wanted to change my clothes. Man, what a life! Eating cereals in drenched clothes!

I looked down and started thrusting more cereal into my mouth so that it looked like I've kept a bundle of socks in it. 

"Um..Jenna?" My head snapped up and I looked at Ashton who was staring at me with a weird expression with his one eyebrow up. 

"Mmmmhh.Waddodobhant?" I said in between swallowing my food all at the same time and I was sure I would choke any minute.

"Um..maybe you should first swallow your breakfast?" He giggled a little and now it was my turn to make a weird expression. He looks so intimidating and manly with his big biceps, hands and height but after hearing his giggle all of that went out the window.

"What?" He said, with a little laugh and I replied 'Nothing' after finally swallowing the whole stock of food in my mouth. Never ever bombard your mouth with food. Ever.

"So, what do you want?" I said, as I kept the bowl in the sink and started filling up a glass of water.

"I was just wondering....you would like to change your clothes, wouldn't you? I have some T-shirts and shorts....maybe they'll fit you? We'll take you out for shopping some day......" He said, nervously scratching the back of his neck and I couldn't help but smile at him.

"Really? We'll go out shopping?" I said, almost bouncing with joy. I was ecstatic. We would go out. That meant that I could escape. And what better place to ask for help than a shopping mall which is packed with people? 

A police station. My mind answered back.

Yeah. But seeing that we don't have one of them here, we'll go with the shopping mall. 

Fine. 

"Earth to Jenna!" With a startled expression I snapped out of my thoughts as Ashton waved his hand in front of my face. I gave him a assured smile which he returned back. 

"So..would you..wear my clothes?" He asked nervously again and I nodded and smiled at him. We then started going out of the kitchen but when I reached the threshold, I gave a cautious glance around the living room. It was empty. Neither Michael nor Ian were there. 

"Don't worry. Nobody will hurt you as long as I'm around." I looked up at Ashton who gave me a reassuring smile and for the first time in that 'pig-house', I felt safe as I looked into his concerned eyes.
