Distasteful (slow af updates)

chapter three

I was listening to their conversation while I was in the kitchen getting a snack. jenna seemed friendly, besides, you know, giving me that look. I guess I had a little bit of a bad feeling about her. she was dressed fairly nice, white blouse and blue jeans, with some non-brand running shoes. it's much better compared to me wearing a baggy sweatshirt and sweatpants with messy hair. her voice sounded kind of aggressive and passive at the same time. was she holding something back? this just made my bad feeling about her even worse once I started paying attention to her voice.

I was looking for something to drink in the fridge when I heard jenna excuse herself to the kitchen. once she walked in, her calm expression turned into anger.

"listen, kid. I don't know how you came to be, and I don't wanna know. all I know is that you don't belong here. you disgust me. I've seen what you do. and for that. I'm going to make your life a living hell. if you tell anybody what I'm doing, I will ruin you and the remains of your reputation here. remember this."

her remark left me speechless and a little scared. she pushed me away from the fridge making me drop the gallon of sweet iced tea. she got a bottle of water and went back to the living room with her expression back to normal. I don't think I have any good feelings about her anymore, and I trusted her threat. I was just watching television and now I have to work my ass off avoiding some random person I don't even know.

I picked up the gallon of sweet iced tea and poured it into a cup. I started to take a sip when I heard my mom talking about how she's gonna sleep in my room. I spat out my drink into the sink, thankfully. I just got the worst threat of my life from her, and now she's gonna sleep in my room? My life is already hell as it is with all my mental disorders. I can't deal with this. oh god oh god oh god. I attempted to calm myself by drinking more sweet iced tea and splashing my face with water. nows not the time for this.

I go up to my room and start putting all my stuff onto one side so that jenna doesn't ruin anything. I make room for a mattress in case we put one there. I gotta make sure I'm as far away from her as possible at night. I guess I won't be getting any sleep anymore. I sit on my bed and lay face down. "hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" my mom and jenna walk in with an air mattress. called it. My mom thanks me for clearing up some space, and sets up the mattress. jenna is glaring at me the whole time. she's making me uncomfortable, and I start to sweat. My heart as beating quickly and I'm scared. I have to get out of here. I don't want this. I run out and my mom gets surprised for a second, then goes back to setting up the air mattress.

I keep running until I go to my big sister's room. she looks up from her laptop and she watches me flop onto her bed. she closes her laptop and faces me. "... are you okay, Eli?" I say nothing, and just groan. "I guess not. what happened kid?" I lay on my back and start crying from the overwhelming situation. "jenna is gonna break me, Tina!" My voice cracks at "break" and I break down. tina attempts to calm me down by rubbing circles into my back. she hands me the water that was on her lap and I start to chug it. I try to calm myself down.

tina asks me who jenna is, and why I think she's gonna break me. "she's been giving me this glare, and while I was getting some iced tea she said she was gonna make my life a living hell. she's making me scared to go into my own room cause she's sleeping there!" tina is shocked, but just continues to rub circles in my back and whispers assuring things to me. she always makes me feel better about things even though she doesn't give advice. it just helps when I talk to her. she's like a personal therapist.
