The King

chapter 39

❀ request some songs for me to play and I might add them up above^ : ) ❀

          An easy two weeks had flown by, Lucas had attempted to spend more time with me to work on our growing friendship, but... he always seems preoccupied with something. I still had to work on my trust with him so I didn't find it immediately surprising for me to think that he was searching up more and more private information about me instead of honoring our visits. But my suspicion was proven wrong when one day I had caught him as I was passing by his room, the door was cracked open slightly and the light that came from within had spilled out in the hallway. I had crept forward near his door and looked at him. Before this moment the only other time I had seen him was 5 days earlier. He was hunched over his laptop, the bright light from the screen illuminated his face and showed off the dark circles that were forming under his eyes as he typed away rapidly. I didn't knock, nor enter. He was very busy doing something and though I felt the need to ask what was going on, was it really any of my business?

          Instead of spending all my planned visits with Lucas by myself I had started spending my time more with Mandy and Penny. Well, as much time as they gave me. I swear those two were attached by the hip and couldn't seem to keep themselves off each other for even a mere second. It was definitely adorable but after a while, being the third wheel got real tired- real quick.

         I even opted to spend more time with Zeke, but just like Lucas, he was always busy. We had met up one day. I think 3 days ago, that was the last time I had seen him, and even before that! The day I had returned was the last time I had come face to face with him up until the morning I saw him shove a donut in his mouth and attempting to run while doing so. I had grabbed him by the arm and forced him to sit down and have a nice breakfast with me. He seemed very impatient to leave and let me know about it too! 'Dawn, I just came for a donut... let me leave.' or 'I have more pressing matters, though if I find time please finish the story of how you know how to tango.' His last statement had me wanting to beat Penny with a stick, how many more people was she planning on telling?!

          So, even though I had spent the majority of my time trying to enjoy the vast loneliness of this empty castle I ended up where I am right now. In the kitchen, trying to make a meal.

         Keyword: trying.

         I had decided to pull out a box of mac n cheese, no doubt belonging to Zeke. Now currently, instead of making Mac N Cheese per se. I was trying to put out the fire I had created in the pot.

        "Mother fuc-" I gasped when I noticed the bright flames. I grabbed the pot and yelped back dropping it back on the stove. I didn't put on any mitts. I rummaged through the cabinets and produced two towels just as the fire alarm went off. Filling the castle with an annoying beeping noise sounding off everywhere. I quickly grabbed onto the on fire pot with the towels, and quickly looked for the sink. The heat of the flames becoming too much too fast. As soon as I spotted the sink I dashed towards it while yelling a string of curses. "Shit, shit, shit, shit." I dropped the burning pot into the sink and just as I was about to turn the faucet on to get rid of the fire, sprinklers from above head broke free and sprayed the entire kitchen with jets of water.

         "Oh my God."

        I turned to face a flabbergasted Lucas who seemed to have been watching the whole scene take place. His open mouth quickly threw out laughs as he rubbed his hands over his face.

        "It's not funny!" I yelled over the blaring alarm, I felt my clothes get heavier as the water soaked into it.

       He ignored what I had said and called out for Zeke. "Zeke! Come look at what Dawn did!"
