Shredded Love

Chapter 3

I knock on Kazzs door and poke my head in "Hey Kazzie bear, you feel up for some soup?" I ask

She looks up at me and sniffles out "No"

"Jeez Kazz how many boxes of tissues did you use?" I ask bringing the soup in and disregarding her last statement.

"About four? Maybe? I dont know? I dont want soup Soph" she says

"Well too bad because you got some" I say as I set it on her bedside table and help her sit up.

"Thanks" she sniffles again and has a spoon full of soup and sighs contently.

"Thats okay, do you want a cuppa tea too?" I ask

"Oh please, would you?" she asks

"Of course babes" I say smiling and leaving the room.

I head into the kitchen and turn the kettle on after I've checked to see if there was enough water in it. I head to the loungeroom and see JD looking at the pictures on the wall "Hey" I say

"Oh hey, did you draw these?" he says as he's looking at me.

"Yeah, Kazz thought that they were good so she hung them up" I say

"You're really good" he says looking back at my art

"Thanks" I say and blush a little "Um, would you like a tea or coffee?"

"Tea please, two sugars thanks" he says and I nod and head back into the kitchen.

I grab three coffee cups out of the cupboard and sit them on the bench in front of the boiling kettle.

Okay tea for everyone, I hum a little tune while I make sure all the teas are set correctly, 3 sugars for Kazz and I and 2 for our guest.

The kettle lets out a *ting* to let me know that it's finished it's job.

I pick the kettle up and pour the hot water into the cups and stir them.

I take all the tea bags out and put them in the trash, I pick up Kazzs cup and head out of the kitchen as I'm in the hallway I yell out to JD "JD, your tea is in the kitchen"

As I walk into Kazzs room she looks up at me from her empty bowl "Did you just say JB as in Justin Bieber?" she smiles

"No Kazz I said JD because thats the name of our guest, in which I have to get back too so Ill tell you about it soon, kay?" I say

"Kay, Im going to drink my tea and then go back to sleep" she says in weak voice.

"Okay" I say and grab the bowl from her before heading back into the kitchen where JD was standing in the middle of the room.

"You okay?" I ask

He jumps a little before turning to me and smiling "Yeah, I just didnt know which one was mine"

"Oh, silly me" I laugh "This one's yours" I hold up the cup with wolves on it.

He kind of tenses for a second "Thanks" he says shaking his head before saying "Wolves?"

"Oh, yeah" I blush and look down before saying "Wolves have been my favourite animal since I was little, I love them so much"

"Really? Thats my favourite animal too" JD says with a huge grin eating away at his face.

"Really?" I say smiling too as his was contagious.

"Really, really" he says sitting down at the bench with his tea, I follow suite and sit down on the other side.

"Awesome" I admit softly and look down at my tea.

It was silent as we finished our teas, when I finished I decided I should start on dinner so I jumped up and put my cup in the sink before heading to the fridge.
