His mouth wide open, like I had just told him Donald trump won the elections or maybe worst but let's face it what could be worst than that.'you can't be serious,tell me you're joking. Of course you are jo........' I cut him off 'trust me I wish I was,but that's the truth. My own dad is after me, what could be more fucked up than that?' I broke down before I could let him process the information. He raised me from the ground and looked at me ' Maia, that's really messed up and forgive me for saying this but it's also crazy' he started laughing , and I realized that too and started laughing. I laughed so hard to cover up the pain and anger, but I stopped when I realized I wasn't fooling him. He could see right through me, he always did and I found that so comforting. 'We don't have to talk about that now, you should go freshen up and take a nap, you could really use it' he said,
'I'm not sure I want to do any of that just yet, what happens when Jenna returns?obviously I cant hide out here? what happens then? what do I do? Where do I stay? What.......' he cut me off before I could say another word
' hey, hey, listen to me, you don't have to worry about that. Let me worry about Jenna , just let me take care of you,ok?' I couldn't help but notice how his eyes brightened up when he said he wanted to take care of me. Ok...Maybe his eyes didn't sparkle but that's what I wanted to see, at least that's the only thing that made a little bit of sense.' Fine, I just don't want to intrude. I wouldn't be so happy if I came back and met my boyfriend's ex bunking with him in our home and be very happy about it. Just saying!' He smiled and said 'oh Maia just stop worrying your little head and let me worry about that, what you need now is food and a whole lot of rest' I started blushing as soon as he mentioned food, and he smiled back like that was his plan all along ' you are still a foody, good to know that not a lot has changed' he said realizing the change in my mood.
'But a lot has changed, do I still remind of you the girl that wanted to travel the world, meet new people, try different types of cuisine from every part of the world.....he cut me off saying
'Of course you do, I still see the same girl, that opened my bird cage and let my bird out saying even though this bird could fly anywhere it hasn't seen everything yet and she deserves that chance' he said smiling and I saw the look in his face and I realized that he actually believes that girl is still here.
' that girl is gone joe, you might want to think there is still a little part of her in here but she's not'
'No, stop saying that, I refuse to believe that, I refuse to believe that everything I used to know and love about you is all gone and I'm going to prove that to you' I stood up in anger
' stop trying to fix me, you know what? This was a bad idea, I'm leaving'
I was racing toward the door when he rushed and grabbed my arm
'I am not trying to fix you, you are not broken, I just want you to stop talking about yourself like that. But we can forget about all of that, all I care about is your safety and I know you will be safe right here.' I became calm and i went back with him and we made lunch and we were able to get past the tension a little bit. I went to bed and woke up the next morning.'Why did you let me sleep that long, where did you sleep, did you even get any sleep?'
I went on and on when I realized how long I had been in bed
' so many questions, I'm sorry I can't answer all that, I have to get to school. I made you breakfast though, so go eat and I will be back before you know it....
I cut him off saying 'wait! You are leaving me here, alone?'
'You will be fine, I have a paper to write in an hour, I'll be back soon' he said rushing out of the room then out of the house.
I got out of bed and I was going to the bathroom when I saw a bag with a note that said 'toiletries for you, my lady' I smiled and I took out the contents of the bag and proceeded to the bathroom and I was out in 30 minutes, I had just gotten to the living room when I heard someone at the door.
'Did you forget your pen' I said smiling when I opened the door and ....
'Jenna?........
