Chris said I could cook for him.

He was finally okay enough to stand up and walk around.

I don't think he realizes that I can't actually cook. I'm kinda just winging it and hoping it works, and I don't burn the house down.

Chris had left the room to go find his laptop or something.

I honestly had no idea what I was doing. I don't know why he agreed to let me do this. I've never cooked any kind of food in my life. But pasta should be easy. It's just pasta and water and tomato sauce.

I heard footsteps enter the room. Chris was back.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.

It didn't feel like Chris.

"What are you cookin for me?"

Of course. Ronnie. I should've guessed.

"Fuck off." I said, shoving him away.

"I love a boy who can cook."

"I can't cook."

He chuckled, leaning in and licking the shell of my ear.

"Can you fucking stop?" I growled, spinning around and pushing him back.

He stepped closer to me and I took a step back. My back hit the stove and next thing I knew, the pot of boiling water came crashing down.

I screamed and shoved Ronnie away from me.

Chris came rushing into the room at the sound of my scream.

I fell to the floor, on my knees. Ronnie tried to grab me but instead managed to fall on top of me. I yelled and tried to push him away. His fall bent my arm backwards.

"Enough!" Chris yelled.

Ronnie was pulled off of me and thrown the the side. Chris leaned down to pull me up. I tried to grab onto him but I couldn't move my arm. I whimpered and fell against Chris.

"Ronnie, how many fucking times do I have to tell you to stay away from him?" Chris growled.

I realize now that we'd drawn an audience. The kitchen was full of people.

"Ryan?"  Chris called.

"Yes?"

"Take him to the fucking basement." He ordered. "And Remington?"

"Mmm?"

"Fix him up and bring him up to my room." He said. " I need to solve this little issue."

"C'mon, Chris. I was just messing around. I didn't mean to hurt him." Ronnie said, holding his hands up.

"Shut the fuck up."

The only time I'd ever seen Chris this angry was when I first met him.

I feel like a fucking idiot. We can't just have one good day. Something always has to happen. This is my fault. I shouldn't have pushed Ronnie.
