The next evening I sit on the dock sadly. I wish I didn't mess up so badly. I don't understand how I messed up either. It's the first time I've talked to someone that isn't work related.
A sudden idea shoots through my brain. I'll make a gift for him. As an apology. I stand up and run back to my house, pain shooting through my feet every single step I take. I haven't put this much physical effort into anything in years.
After walking inside I check around the house to make sure nobody is watching. Everything is clear. I pull out a box cake mix and do the best I possibly can to follow the instructions
I put the finishing touches on the cupcakes... and look at my subpar job. It looks like an infant dropped the cupcakes into crushed cookies... but it's the first time I've ever cooked alone!
"Starlight what are you doing?" Paul asks walking into the kitchen. Robe loosely tied around his hips and slippers half off his feet.
"I'm making cupcakes Paul. For you and the others here. As a thank you for being here for me." I give my big fake smile. Fake- it's all fake. This entire house. All this is fake but it's all I know.
"Oh thank you,,, starlight. Your bedtime is in ten minutes so you remember. You need your beauty sleep." Paul takes a cupcake and pats my head before heading back to his room.
I wait until the door is closed and the sound of his TV reaches my ear. I then carefully warp six of the cupcakes up and take them outside. I place the gift where I saw him last... with a beautiful bow and note where it'll hopefully catch his eye...
"I'm sorry;;;" I say out loud before going in to go to bed.
