Forrest

♡2♡

''What the actual fuck Forrest'' Maya snapped looking at me with her intense ocean blue eyes, while I just clutched my heart. Oh fuck! I was so scared no no I was terrified.

''What the hell! Why were screaming like a mad woman in this time of the morning? Now why are you quiet, say something'' she said frowning while shaking me. This idiot, I swiftly gave her a hard smack on her head.

''Ouch! Son of a monkey! What was that for?'' She snapped again while glaring at me. Is she stupid? She scared the shit out of me and she is still asking what my smacked was for.

''First stop cussing, you stupid girl. Second you scared the shit out of me by abruptly opening your eyes when I was so close to your face'' I replied and she just looked at me puzzled but then her expression changed into something I couldn't quite describe.

''You are lesbian?'' She blurted the question while I just stood astounded.

''What the hell! Are you dumb? Oh wait you ARE dumb. Of course I am not, what makes think that I am lesbian?'' I asked still dumbfounded, is she crazy? I think she is still not fully awaken. She suddenly looked at me disappointed.

''Wait you are not?'' She exclaimed while pouting. Jeez she is still a kid, isn't she?
I quickly examined her she was wearing my pyjamas in which small golden moons were printed and her hair? Well at least her hair didn't represent a bird nest.

''Wait then why were so close to my face? Weren't you trying to kiss me?'' she pointed at me amusingly. Oh god what am I going to do with this girl, me and kissing a girl? So that's where she got the idea of me being a lesbian.

''I shouldn't have smacked your head, I think I damaged some of your already destroyed brain cells'' I told her then stood up and went into bathroom. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and not to forget my nest for a hair too. I then walked straight into the kitchen. Washing the dishes, I thought of what should I make for breakfast, while Maya too went to bathroom to wash up.

''But i still didnt understand why you wanted to kis- i mean why were you close to my face?'' she nervously laughed it off when i gave her a look, this girl.

''My potato for a friend, I was just trying to wake you up by singing in your precious ear but you ruined my plan. Instead you backfired my plan and scared the shit out of me and then accused me for being a lesbian'' I explained to her while taking the milk carton out of the fridge, wait why is this carton so light.

She sat on the counter and moved her legs back and forth. ''I don't know I just thought you are one but Forrest just imagine, you being a lesbian how cool would that have been'' she clasped her hands excitedly but I just ignored her blabbering and focused on my three eggs that I just put in the pan. I decided to make omelette, it wasn't like I had anything else to make. I poured salt and pepper and looked for the plates.

''Do we have bread?'' I asked Maya while closing the cupboard after taking out two plates and glasses.

''Yeah it's just three pieces left'' she answered and took the plates putting them on the table. I filled the glasses with green tea and put them too on the table, while i also flopped down on the chair.

''Do we not have milk?'' Maya asked looking through the fridge and on the table. I sighed, we ran out of milk and groceries. Maya really likes having milk in the morning.

''No'' I replied and the disappointed could clearly be seen on her face ''but that's okay Maya, look I have made green tea. Its really good and it's healthy too. Have this and then we will grocery shopping'' I smiled and gave the glass of tea and she smiled taking it. I really hated her being sad.

''But Forrest you don't have money'' she said taking a bite of her omelette. I ignored her remark and asked her about the food.

''How is it?'' I asked her about the tea and took a sip of my cup of tea.

''It's good'' she answered and continued eating and I also kept quiet. I didn't want her to know that I am left with very little money.

There was just silence only the sound of utensils could be heard until Maya sighed loudly, I looked up to her to see her already looking at me.

''What's the matter? Why are so stressed?'' I asked her worriedly but before I could say anything more she cut me off.

"How did the interviews go?" She asked straight looking in my eyes ''and don't lie, tell me the truth?'' her warm blue eyes held many things; stubbornness, sadness, worriedness and stress.

I just kept quiet and sighed.
Life was difficult.
Why can we just have a normal life?
I can't describe how helpless I felt.

''You didn't get any of the jobs, did you?'' she asked when I didn't answer her. I just nodded and took my empty plate and cup and put it in the sink. I can't even count how many job interviews I had yesterday. And let me tell you non of them went great. I came home late at midnight.

''They either didn't liked my appearance or didn't need me'' I finally said while flopping myself on our small baby pink couch ''I think I should stick to being a waiter or barista'' I added and massaged my sore legs.

''Look Forrest you know you don't have to. I can just find another job to help out'' she took my hands in hers and looked at me ''We live together not alone'' she added smiling.

''No, you won't. You already have a job and you also have your studies, just focus on them'' I replied and rubbed my temples, I got a headache... damn it.

''And what about you?'' she asked, I could see she was worried seeing me rubbing my forehead.
''What about me?'' I asked back not getting her, what was she trying to say?
''Your studies'' she responded. Oh god not again, why can't she just drop this topic.

''Look Maya we are not talking about this'' I said getting up. I walked into the bedroom and was looking for my phone.

''And why not? You always ignore me when I talk about your studies, you shouldn't have left your studies when you were just about to finish it and become a pediatrician'' she raised her voice this time. But I didn't answer her and kept looking for my phone where in the hell is that damn phone?

''Can you fucking answer me for I once Forrest?'' she snapped but I still ignored her. She is frustrated but still, I don't have time for this.

I took my black hoodie and blue high waist jeans and changed. Did my hair in a high ponytail and went out of the room.

''Where are you going?'' Maya asked trailing after me when I went into the kitchen to drink water.

''Grocery shopping, where else do you think?'' I replied filling up the glass with water "Go get ready I am waiting" I added and drank the whole glass of water in one gulp. Maya just stomped off the kitchen but before she could leave I had a favor to ask.

''Can you call me cause I can't seem to find my phone, please?'' I made puppy face while she groaned out loud and finally went out of the kitchen while murmuring something.
