Mr and Mrs Cortez are not home so I run upstairs to the guest room as soon as I enter the house, not waiting for brian.
"Hey D." I say as dylan comes out of his room.
"When would you ever stop calling us by the first letter of our name?" He asks, smiling at me.
"Never. Besides you like it." I say. They do like it.
"I love it. Mom and dad will be having dinner with a friend so it's just the three of us tonight." he says.
"Oh okay. Call me downstairs when you start cooking dinner." I tell him.
"Nah it's okay. Brian and I will take care of it."
"No, I want to help" that's the least I can do for them for letting me stay here.
"Okay." he says walking downstairs
I take out some clothes and go to the bathroom to take a shower. I feel horrible right now even though I did take a shower in the morning.
I let the hot water make it's way through my hair and fall on my bare body as I just stand there.
I wonder what mom and dad are doing right now. I wonder if they miss me cuz I do miss them.
I get out of the shower and wear a baggy t-shirt and sweatpants.
I take out a book from my bag and start to read.
Soon I fall asleep into a deep slumber.
"Emma?" Somebody knocks on the door.
I wake up groggily and go to open the door. I know I told dylan to call me downstairs when they start cooking but I feel really helpless right now. I don't want to cook but I should.
The pain from the cramps seems to have doubled.
I open the door to see brian standing there with a bag.
"Come on let's go." I say as I walk out the door to go downstairs but I stop when he steps in my way.
I try to step aside him but he steps in my way again causing me to bump into his chest.
"What the hell is your problem, dum dum?" I snap at him.
Anyone can tell I am experiencing mood swings.
"Nothing. Are you still getting cramps?" He asks walking into my room and placing the bag on the floor.
"Why the hell do you care?"
"Because you're in pain and I don't like that. Now come sit with me while dylan orders take out." he says getting comfortable on my bed and taking out some Cheetos and chocolates from the bag.
My mouth waters at the sight of Cheetos. I actually like spicy stuff more than sweet stuff. I quickly jump on the bed next to him.
"What's in the bag?" I ask.
"Just some snacks and other stuff for you." he says. My heart melts at that.
"Thank you and sorry for my behavior. I'm experiencing mood swings but I'll try my best to not snap at you."
"Don't worry about it, it's normal" he says.
We lay down on the bed as we eat. He puts the hot compress he prepared for me on my lower stomach.
"I thought we were going to make dinner together?"
"That's what I thought too but Dylan insisted we order take out because his tired ass didn't wanted to make dinner." he says stealing some Cheetos from me even though he is holding his own bag of it. I glare at him.
