Chapter Seven// Edgar can cook?

The smell of fried chicken welcomed me as I entered the house. I'm sure it's mum cooking but,why is she back so early?

I entered the kitchen and was surprised to see Edgar cooking. He had his headphones on his ears and titled his head,up and down. He was also wearing a vest.

Ughhhh,he's going to be the death of me.

He turned and was surprised to find me staring. He smiled and I just looked plainly. His abs were visible through the vest and I darted my eyes away from them before he sees me staring.

"You're back"he said.

"Yeah. What are you doing?"

"Cooking lunch?"he said with a raised eyebrow like I asked a stupid question. Well...yeah.

"Okay"

"It's ready anyway"

"I never knew you could cook"

"Well,you learn something new everyday, Barbie"

"Barbie?"

"It suites you. You're pretty"

"Stop complimenting me. I hate it and what sort of don't talk to me and leave me alone don't you understand?"

"Well,you're following my rules by not being afraid. I like the feisty you"he said with a wink.

"I mean it,don't talk to me in school"

"Why?you're embarrassed of me?"he asked looking serious.

"I don't know who you are and I don't want any trouble so just stay away from me"I said and he just stared at me before scoffing and walking out.

What?was he mad at me?...I said the right thing,right?and besides,I'm in my house. He's not the boss of me.

I walked upstairs to my room in order to have a nice nap 'cause I had a long and stressful day. The vibration of my phone caught my attention and I saw a text message from mum. Just great!

Mum: Hey Jill,I'm not gonna come home tonight. I'll be back on Friday and don't ask why. Tell Edgar I said Hi.

Well, I'm not really surprised. This is not the first time she's leaving me alone. Well,I'm not alone this time but...I hope she's okay. When I clocked 15,mum's being really depressed. She was always drinking 'cause of the divorce. Even if dad wasn't the best father ever,I do know, mum loved him so much.

She couldn't see me suffer everyday 'cause he always beat me. She just had to divorce him.

Me: Stay safe.
       
       *few minutes later*

Mum: You too, hon'.

I dropped my phone and drifted off to my dreamworld.

                        ***

It was 10:40pm and Edgar's not back. Not that I was worried or anything but he's my housemate.
Okay!maybe I was a little bit worried. I was in the kitchen making brownies and I heard the front door slam.
I got the brownies out and checked who it was.

Edgar was leaning on the door and holding his bleeding shoulder. I could see his blood gushing out profusely and he had a black eye and a bruise forming on his right cheek.

"Are you okay?"I asked as I walked to help him stand erect.

"Obviously Jill,he's not okay!what's with the dumb questions today?"my subconscious said.

"Scratch that"

"Common, let me clean you up"I said and took him upstairs. He winced as he took each step which me afraid,'caused he screamed when we got to the last step.

"Sorry"I said and took him to my room.

He sat on my cushion while I went to grab the first aid kit. I picked a cotton wool and cleaned his injury before treating it.

"Arrghhh"he groaned"fuck,that hurt"

"Sorry"I said.

I did the remaining treatments and when I was done,I let him lay on my bed. He kept breathing heavily and I went to return the first aid kit.

"Do you need anything?"I asked.

"I'm fine,Barbie"he smiled"thanks"

I walked slowly and sat at the farthest part of the bed and stared at him for a while.

"What happened to you?"I asked.

"Got into a fight"he said."but I got 'em,I got 'em all but-I'm okay"he smiled.

"Why did you get into a fight?"

"Barbie,please don't ask that"he said."just,never ask that. You can know some other time but not now"he added.

I didn't wanna push him to tell me so I quietly said,"okay"

"I'll be going to bed"he stood up to leave.

He was walking to the door but he stopped when he got it open.

"Thanks again"he smiled and walked out.
