Chapter 7
------Story Continues------
I followed the trail of water and blood, cleaning it up as I passed by. I went upstairs, down the hall, and stood in front of the bathroom door. I was going to knock on the door and ask Krism why there was blood. I just thought it was the time of month so I walked back to my kitchen.
I decided to make some sandwiches for both of us. I placed the bread down and got the ham, mayo, lettuce, and tomatoes. I grabbed the milk from the fridge and the glass cups from the cabinet and started setting up the table. I haven’t had many visitors come over to my house so I had to grab an extra chair from the closet to have the table be set for two people. I put the sandwiches on plates and I poured the milk in the glass cups and set them on the table.
I didn't have enough money to go to a restaurant and eat there with Krism but I thought that this would be enough. I grabbed my first aid kit from under the sink just in case something did happen to Krism. I sat there waiting, twiddling with my thumbs.
Then Krism walked down the stairs, wearing my XL shirt that said,"London, England. Much beauty. Such love." It looked amazing on her but it was a bit too big.
"Your shirt is a little big and it goes down to my thigh. But it's really comfortable so I decided to wear shorts under." Krism said, her cheeks getting red. I felt my body tense up and my cheeks burning red. She looked beautiful wearing my shirt. I pointed at the seat across from me, signaling her to eat. She smiled and sat down.
"What's with the first aid kit?" Krism asks before biting down on her sandwich. I looked to my right to see the first aid kit sitting there on the counter. I almost forgot.
"Oh yeah! Krism, when I went to clean up the pool of water that was under your feet when you walked in, I notice blood in it too so I thought you got hurt. Are you okay?" I asked, concerned.
"Uhh...well... I'm fine. You must mean my wrist...during an argument with my parents, my mother grabbed my wrist and started threatening me with all her religious nonsense and she dug her nails into my skin and caused me to bleed. When I was at the bus stop before I called you, I slipped and cut my wrist even more on broken glass by accident." Krism explained, her body tensing up even more as she spoke. She showed me her wrist and it was wrapped around with a piece of fabric. I untied the fabric and took a good look at her wrist. It was bleeding a lot and I could clearly see the 4 fingernail marks around her wrist and a big cut across it.
I walked to my first aid kit and grabbed the gauze swabs and washed off the cut with water. I wrapped it around with bandages and gave Krism some Advil for the pain. She thanked me.
"Well, now that that's settled, gotta go clean the dishes." I said while walking over to the table.
"Oh no I'll do the dishes" Krism says while grabbing her plate. Instead of grabbing the plate, she accidentally grabbed my hand. I felt my face heat up and we slowly pull away. I look up at her face and notice it pure red. I laughed it off and let her grab her plate. We both did the dishes, together.
