My stepbrothers

A meal to be shared

The weekend had arrived. The laziness conquered myself as i'm still not being able to get out of my bed. No school, no homework and no morons to look at. Ah! The joy. Oh, wait! There ARE 3 jackasses in this house. Fuck. I forgot about that.

The house is in silent right now as my dad, Sandy and Luke going out. Something about meeting client. Sort of. I don't care much. And i didn't hear the triplet's voices this morning so it means i'm alone. I can do whatever i can since i had no more disturbance. I took out my guitar from under my bed and start to pluck it. Humming the song, 'Girls just want to have fun'.

A loud knock came in just when i'm on my last verse. Shit. Is it my dad?

"Shut the fuck up." the words hit me as soon as i opened the door. Standing there is Jake.

"Fuck off." i said. Slamming the door in front of him. There goes my evening. Ruined by the jerk. I didn't see James or Jacob. Well, i hardly see James after the incident the other day. Not that i'm afraid of him but i really can't stand seeing his face. 

There is silence again. My stomach started to sing so i make my way to downstairs. Lucky there's no one downstairs. Maybe it just Jake who just came back from wherever he goes. I don't care. I took out some fries and spread it over a tray and put it into the oven. Just when it ready, i spread a can of tomato sauce, beef pepperoni and lots of parmesan cheese on top. Then bake for another 5 minutes. 

I ran to my room after i take out the tray to let it cool. I need some reading and i just got the new novel from Chloe. And i'm so fucking hungry. I almost tripped myself running back and forth but hey, it's worth the melted cheese that i'm going to eat. Just then i entered the kitchen, my smile faded. There, there's someone eat my lovely fries. And you are right, it is Jake!

"Get out from here. That's mine." i said. Slamming the book on the counter and try to take the tray from the monster. 

"Shut up. I'm hungry." said him while digging his fork.

"I made this!" i shouted. Nobody. I mean nobody mess up with me when it come to food.

"Make another one." he said again. Moving the tray away from me. I can feel my face is hot right now. I tighten my fist and the sound of my stomach didn't help at all.

"Give.me.back.my.fries." I gritted my teeth.

"Just make another one, idiot!" said Jake almost shouting, sounding frustrated. I could make another cuss and maybe smack his head with the thick novel but instead i do the stupidest thing ever. Crying.

My tears just flow like a river. I try to hold myself but it no use. I'm too hungry. Even there's sobbing. Jake seems shock. I don't know. My tears blurring my vision. And i'm crying like a baby.

"Jeez, you're acting crazy." said Jake after a moment of silent. To my surprise, he shove a fork in front of me and unknowingly, i grabbed it. Jake even push the tray in front of me. I sat down and start digging with tears still flowing on my face.

Jake just watch me for a moment. There's tomato sauce over my face and i don't care. I don't realise when Jake started to join me. Both of us kept silent while finishing the tray of the cheesy fries.

"You wash." he said, throwing his fork into the sink.

"Jerk." i said back while showing middle finger to him which he didn't see as he already turned his back. 

"Same goes to you." to my surprise, he shows middle finger back to me without turning around. Like he had third eye planted at the back of his head. 

And i realised, i smile when i wash the forks we used. Shit.
