Broken

Thirteen

      I woke up to the feeling of being lifted. I looked up and saw Ethan was cradling me to his chest. He smiled down at me and I smiled up at him. He carried me up and to the room I was in before I had escaped. He sets me down on the bed and pulled the blankets over me.    

      "Goodnight Ethan." He smiles and walks out.

      I lay in the bed and sigh. Back at the beginning. I yawn and start to drift off. Darkness consumes me.

       "Good morning Jessie." Liam says as he opens the door. I groan and sit up.
     "Oh I'm sorry I thought you were already awake." He admits.
      "It's ok, I'm awake now." I give a small smile.
      "Oh well uh Luke made breakfast." He says with a smile.
     "Ok, I'll be down in a moment." He nods and closes the door. Just try to act normal.

      I walk into the closet and grab out some of my clothes. I put on a t-shirt and jeans. I then walk into the bathroom and brush my hair. I walk out of the room and downstairs into the kitchen. It smelled liked bacon and waffles. When I walk in everyone looks at me then looked away again. Weirdos.

      "I hope you like bacon and waffles." Luke says.
      "Yea, I do." He smiles and hands me a plate.

      I begin to put the food on my plate and go to the table. I sit down between Ethan and Liam. Everyone talked while I just ate. After I was finished I brought my plate to the kitchen and walked back to the room I was staying in. Time to introvert.

      I just sat in the chair and looked around. It was the exact same as the night I left it, except the bed had been cleaned and made. I sat there bored and thought about everything I could be doing at home. I could be painting, or playing video games, or drawing. I sighed. There was a knock at the door.

      "Come in." I say to the person at the door. Killian walked in.
      "Jessie can we talk?" He asks as he shuts the door.
      "Sure." I say bluntly.
      "I'm sorry about what happened at the warehouse. I was there for you."
      "It's ok Killian." He looked shocked.
      "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" I look him in the eyes.
      "You know what I want." I then turn away and look out the window.
      "Jessie, I can't let you go back home. Someone is having me keep you here." I look at him annoyed.
     "Who? Why do you have to listen to them?" He sighs.
      "I can't tell you." I roll my eyes.
      "Of course you cant."
      "Is there anything else I can do?" I think about that. If I'm stuck here what could make it less miserable.
      "I want to be able to do crafts." He nods.
      "I'll buy the stuff for you as you need it. What's first?" I think. I want to make a terrarium.
       "I want to make a terrarium." He nods.
      "Come on, we will go choose the stuff on my computer then buy it." I nod and follow him to his office.

      I got on his computer and went to Hobby Lobby's website. I found a cute little glass terrarium and decided to find the stuff to go in it. I found some moss, pebbles, floral foam, and fake succulents. I also put in a pack of pencils and a sketch book for passing time.

      "I found everything I like." He nods and walks over to the computer. He clicks around and finishes purchasing everything while I look at his books.
      "It should be here tomorrow." I nod.
      "Thanks." He smiles.
      "You're welcome, I'm sorry I can't bring you home yet." I sigh.
      "It's fine." I then walked out and into the kitchen.

      I start looking through the pantry hoping to make a cake. I see a simple box cake and decide to make it. It's an Vanilla cake so this should be fun. I grabbed the box and a pan to work with. I pour the contents of the box into a bowl and begin mixing in the other ingredients. Bake me a cake as fast as you can.

I had found 2 other boxes of the same cake so I decided a layered cake is what I'd make. I made one layer purple with food dye then put it in its pan. I put the pans in the oven and set a timer. I then bring the used dishes to the sink and set them in there.

I sit at the island and just tap my fingers while I wait. I need some music. I hear some footsteps and then someone sits next to me. I look over and see Ethan look over with a questioning look.

"I'm making a cake." He gets a big smile. The timer goes off and I head over to the oven.

I remove the pans and set them to the side to cool. I take out the ingredients to make the icing. I begin mixing everything in. I split it in half and dyed one side purple. I then began to put the cake together. I stacked the pieces together with icing in between each layer. I then put a thin layer of icing and set it in the freezer for a moment. Ethan looks confused.

"I'm letting the icing harden some so I can make designs with the other stuff." He nods. He then pulls out his phone and shows it to me. It's on Amazon Music.
"You want me to choose the music?" He nods. I smile and type Twenty One Pilots. I shuffle all their songs.

The icing should be hard enough so I remove the cake. I ice the sides and make little swirls on top. I add some sprinkles on the bottle and drip on the top. Ethan looks exited as I finish up.

"You want some?" He eagerly nods his head.

I cut a piece and set it on a plate. I then cut another and set it on a different plate. I grab two forks and walk over to Ethan. I set a plate in front of him and he started eating. I took a bite and was happy with what I made. When I was about half way done I looked over to Ethan to see his piece was gone and he had a big goofy smile. He had some icing on his cheek which caused me to laugh. This boy do be messy.

"Let me help you." I grabbed a napkin and wiped it off his cheek. He nodded in a thanks and got up.

He put his plate in the sink and walked off. I then finished my piece and headed over to the cake. I cut the rest of it into 6 pieces and put cling wrap around each piece. I then found some sticky notes and wrote everyone's name on one. I stuck them to a piece then headed back upstairs.

I sat back in the room and stared at the wall. If I had paint this wall would be cool. I sighed and looked out the window. I thought about escaping but decided against it. They'd just find me again. They always do. There's a knock on my door and I call for them to come in. Liam walked in with a bowl of popcorn and some candy.

"Wanna watch a movie?" He asked. I smiled.
"Sure!" I got up and followed him to the theatre room.
