Mirror Me (Rewriting)

Chapter-22 Temptation

I'm begining to get hungry.

After a while my stomach growls. I can't t just eat knowing that he'll die. Hurry up Joanan...I wish I could talk to him somehow. I wait in silence for Joanan to come.

It probably hasn't been too long but it feels like it's been hours and I'm so hungry. I stare at the plate tempted to eat, but I stop myself. I get up and go into a dark corner and sit there facing away from the food.

It has surely been two days. I'm begining to get a headache and my stomach hurts so much. Suddenly I heard the door swing open. I turned around and it was Joanan. I run up to him, push him out the door and close it. Now we were outside. I gripped his shirt collar.

"Krin? Are you ok?"

"No, I'm not! I need food. Give me food now! You owe me!" He looked surprised then went into the bookbag and looked for food.

"He-" he started. I grabbed the apple out of his hand and ate it quickly. I finished the apple and held out my hand so he could give me something else. This time he gave me an orange. I ate that quickly and felt so much better. Then I burst into tears. He looked panicked.

"W-What's wrong?" He asked.

"I could have killed you if I was in there any longer"

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"If I ate any of the food in there you would have died. I had to starve myself for you! Joanan, there was an entire buffet! Do you know how hard it is to smell all that food and not be able to eat it while your starving to death?!" I hugged him tight. He hugged back.

"I'm sorry" he says.

"For what?" I ask.

"I should have been watching you, making sure you were ok. Next time you need to walk infront of me."

"It's not your fault. Your life was in danger because of me."

"No, it's not your fault. Come on, let's go"

We walked back to the cave. The entire walk back he held my hand to make sure I was ok and so that this wouldn't happen again. Before we went to bed he told me.

"Do not move my arm no matter what"

"Why?" I ask.

"This will not happen again." He says. Then wrapped his arm around me.

"Ok..." I don't want this is to happen again either so I'll listen to him.
