"I Just got emotional is all, everything's all good" I just want to cook dinner.
"Mr. Epais said something about your mum and then it's like you just exploded, so I'm sorry if I don't believe the fact that everything's all good. What's wrong, Jamilah?" This time Trevor added in his two sense.
"Look I'm fine, alright, I just got annoyed because Mr. Epais wouldn't get off my back and who wouldn't get bad at someone talking bad about their mum? It's really not that big of a deal so can you guys please just drop it" I'm starting to get frustrate, it's not their business and I barely even know them so why do I have to answer their questions. Just let it go.
As if reading my thoughts Trevor speaks up again "Jamilah, we know we hardly know you and we have no right butting into your business" you don't say. "But if you ever need someone to talk to about anything, we're here for you and whatever you have to say will stay between us." His words bring a ghost of a smile to my lips, no one has ever said something like that to me before, even when my life was good.
"Whatever you've gone through Jamilah, we hope you're able to eventually trust us enough to confide in us. We can tell you're dealing with some shit and we know the feeling. We understand you and will be here whenever you feel like talking" Travis cut in again, I wonder what he meant by 'we know the feeling'. I'm being a complete selfish bitch, I'm not the only one to have gone through shit and I need to start allowing myself to move on, I did want a fresh start after all.
"Yeah, you guys have a point, I'm sorry. If I need to talk I'll let you guys know" I apologised with a small smile. I don't think I will end up following through with that.
"No need to apologise, you didn't do anything wrong. I just want to be able to be friends" Travis reassures me while displaying his cute dimples.
My smile grows wider as I begin to feel warm, a feeling I haven't felt for years and I missed it even more than I thought I did. This feeling of true happiness. I just hope that I haven't made a mistake with them. Speaking of which, they're still staring at me "what is it?".
"You should smile more often, you're beautiful you know" Trevor states bluntly which sends a wave of heat running across my face, stretching from ear to ear.
I let a small breathy laugh escape my lips "Oh really, and what about your little girlfriend you guys share, no judgment" I retort jokingly as their features twist into ones of confusion.
"What?" Trevor says while transferring his attention towards his brother "do we have a girlfriend we don't know about, Trav?".
"I don't know, I would love to meet this 'girlfriend' of ours though" Travis says joining Trevor in teasing me.
"Okay okay, I get it. Then who was that girl that sat between you two when I first met you guys? You know, the one that was all like 'stay away from them grumble I'm a bitch grumble', that one" I asked while mocking the words of that girl.
"Wait, what? oh...OH, you mean Cassidy? Yeah, she's not my girlfriend and even if she was, I wouldn't share my girlfriend with someone else." Trevor answered chuckling under his breath, why did she speak to me like she owns them then?
"Wait...You're meaning to tell me that you thought Cassidy was our girlfriend?" Travis was now laughing hysterically as he gestured to the two of them. It wasn't that funny-
"Okay, so I made a wrong assumption, was this reaction necessary?" Now I'm just getting frustrated, I just want to know who she was.
"YES" Travis wheezed out with his hand placed firmly on Trevor's shoulder, trying to hold himself up, while bending over clasping his stomach with his free hand.
Trevor slips Travis's hand off of his shoulder and Travis then walks away towards his bedroom. Still laughing he manages to wheeze out "I'll be in the shower" before closing his bedroom door and silence fell in the room.
After what felt like hours, but was only seconds, I break the silence and ask "Clearly Travis is unfit to give a proper response so can you?".
"Yeah sure, what's up?" Trevor replies smiling softly at me, letting out a small chuckle.
"Who was that girl? Cassidy? I think Travis said through his laughing" I question letting out a sigh as I turn back around to continue getting ingredients out of the fridge to cook up a beef stir-fry.
"Sorry about him" Trevor said while helping me get stuff out "I honestly don't know what to do with him sometimes. And to answer your question, Cassidy is just one of the 'popular girls' you could say. We don't like being rude to people, so when she asks to hang out we say yes, but we now see that it gives her the idea that we like her." Trevor said scratching the back of his neck while letting out an exasperated sigh after placing the rest of the ingredients on the bench.
"Oh, so you're meaning to tell me that she's a bitch to everyone but you guys?" I say looking into his eyes with a blank expression, slightly annoyed.
"Well to put it bluntly, yes" Trevor said looking a little defeated "now that I think about it we should probably talk to her about that".
I realise that I'm being a bit of a bitch myself right now as they've been nothing but kind to me and I'm talking like this. "No, I'm sorry I shouldn't be a hypocrite and butt into your guys business. You're allowed to hang out with who you want to, don't let me get in the way" I say as I push off the bench and crouch down to get a pan out of the cupboard bellow me to cook with.
----------
At the smell of the dinner, Travis came running out of his room as I finished placing our bowls on the dining table to eat. We ate in silence and once we were done I grabbed their bowls and took them to the kitchen.
"Thank you, Jamilah, you don't have to cook for us if it's too much trouble" Trevor said and Travis nodded in agreement.
"It isn't any trouble, and besides you guys clean the kitchen after so it's only fair" I say before heading down the hall towards my bedroom.
I get into my pyjama's and slide into my bed letting out a sigh of relief as I finally get to rest again after a long day. I close my eyes and drift into a deep, comfortable sleep with a smile plastered on my face.
That night I had one of the best sleeps in a long time feeling happy knowing that I had two...friends? Yes, that's what they are. Two amazing friends that care for me already and I haven't even known them for more than 48 hours, however they have brought me more happiness during this time than I have experienced in the past few years.
I just hope that I am able to trust them. I want to be able to trust them.
