Mushrooms and Pineapple

This chapter is in Blake's POV. Enjoy!

Blake's POV
I dragged the blanket and my pillows down to my couch. I laid down and covered myself from head to toe. Rue shouldn't flare up like that, it could get her in trouble. She even had a panic attack, it was probably something I said. "God", I groaned as I rubbed my temples. I just hope she's okay.
I closed my eyes as I forced myself to sleep.

"Dude, why's Blake on the couch?". I groaned, these idiots are back. "I don't know. Probably his heater has problems". I pushed the pillow over my head to drain out their voices. "Nah dude. His is the best. Let's go check maybe it's infested with bugs from his dirty boxers". My dirty boxers? I have neater boxers than Jack. Wait! Did he say let's go check? I quickly scrambled out of the couch as I tried to untangle myself from the blanket. "Guys, wait up!", I rushed up the staircase and stopped dead in front of my room. There was a very startled Rue on my bed and the guys were staring at her with wide eyes. Jack started laughing, hitting Tyler on the shoulder, "Dudeeee the problem wasn't the heater, it's the person causing Blake to get heated". He gestured at Rue, laughing loudly. Tyler joined him in the laughter, telling him how smart he was.

I walked in and smacked their heads. "Get out of my room, you dimwits". Jack put his hand on my shoulder, "Bro, this is huge. I'm proud of you". I gave him a disgusted look before shoving both of them out. I turned back to face Rue and saw the look of amusement on her face. I mumbled a sorry to which she shrugged. "It's cool. A little amusement first thing in the morning is good for the mind", she crawled out of the bed. Her hair was literally everywhere and it made her look very cute. She was still in my shirt, damn. This is hard.

She walked past me and hurriedly entered the bathroom. I pulled off my sleepwear and changed to normal shorts. I was halfway through wearing my shirt when I heard a gasp. I quickly turned around to see Rue, mouth open. I wore my shirt as she mumbled sorry. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask if you have a spare toothbrush", she asked shyly. "Not that I expect you to have though, just trying my luck", she added looking down. I smiled briefly, walking to my closet and picking out a new toothbrush I haven't used. I tossed it to her but it hit her on her head. "Oh my God! I'm sorry", I gasped. She just started laughing which caused me to start laughing as well.

Everyone was already downstairs by the time I came out of the shower. I quickly got dressed not wanting to leave Rue with the guys for too long. My phone buzzed as I picked it up. A text from Sam,

Annoying ass: Hey, is Rue okay? I've been texting her but she's not answering.

I replied her telling her that she was fine and is having breakfast with the guys. I spotted Rue's phone on the side table. No wonder she's not answering her texts. I picked it up and went downstairs. The guys were sitting around the counter while Rue was preparing something. I heard Jake cracking a dry joke to which both of them laughed at. I came down the last steps and they all turned to look at me before Jack yelled, "Rue's making us pancakes! Blake, you're not so useless after all". Tyler nearly fell off his stool while I just glared at Jack before looking at Rue, who was trying to hide her smile with her hands. "You too? You're laughing with them?", I glared at her too. "I'm sorry", she smiled before bursting into laughter again. I rolled my eyes, handing her her phone.

The day went by pretty quick. Rue left after eating but not before petting Jack who fake cried because she was going. I don't even know how I deal with this people. I got dressed so I won't be late for my appointment. I grabbed my keys and left the apartment.

"You're here early, today", my therapist smiled as I took my seat. "And you're looking really pretty today", I smirked at her. She just smiled back. "You said you have good news for me Doc. Spill". She took off her glasses and looked at me, intently, " I have reviewed your progress from the time you started to this moment and I've decided that you don't need therapy anymore". I widened my eyes in shock. "Really?", I smiled widely. "Yes Blake, you have more anger retainment now and you're calmer than when we started. I think you can handle yourself now". I just gaped till she started laughing at me. "You can leave now. Your replacement will be here soon", she smiled as she handed me a card. "This is my private number. Call me if you need anything". I stood up, smiling widely and as I was about to leave, she cleared her throat. I turned back to look at her, "Whatever you're doing Blake. Whatever that thing is, keep doing it". I smiled knowing that it wasn't a something, it was a someone.

I got back to my dorm feeling very very excited. I decided to celebrate so I called the guys and told them to be back in 2 hours. I also called Sam and told her to bring her friends. I went shopping and bought literally anything I touched. As I stared at all the foodstuff I got, I wondered where to start from since I had no absolute idea on how to cook. I decided to make fruit juice and try lasagna. Hopefully they like it.

I had done the cooking and taken a bath. I now had fresh clothes on with a big smile on my face. The guys finally came back but I didn't let them open the food till the ladies arrived. The doorbell rang and I quickly ran do open it. There stood Sam, Rue and the last one. I think her name was Jessica or something. Sam jumped on me and told me how proud she was of me before she ran inside. Jess greeted me and followed Sam, leaving me with the one person I wish I could kiss right now but couldn't. "Hey", she said shyly. "Sam told me about the big news. I'm happy for you", she looked like she wanted to know more but decided to hold herself. I want to tell her but this isn't the right place or right time. I smiled, "Thanks". "Dude I'm freaking starving! Can you open the dish now?!".

"What the bloody hell is this", Jack spoke in shock, his British accent more evident now. Sam chuckled, "I think it's food". Jack held his head in shock, "That thing's supposed to be edible". Tyler finally spoke, "It has no shape at all, like an ameoba" followed by Jess, "I think it's a pudding of some sort". Rue laughed slightly, "I think it's supposed to be a lasagna. Look at the toppings". Everyone turned to look at me before Tyler broke the silence, "Bro you're kidding right?" He looked at me hopefully. I chuckled nervously before walking to the fridge, "Why don't you guys drink the fruit juice first while I order pizza". They shrugged as I shared the juice into glasses. Sam smelt it before she shrugged, "nothing could possibly go wrong with fruit juice, right?". Everyone nodded in agreement before drinking. I stood nervously watching them. I would know what they think in

Tyler spat out his drink, Sam ran to the sink, Jack ran to the bathroom, Jess hadn't even tasted the drink while Rue scrunched her face as she forcefully swallowed the juice already in her mouth. "What in the world was that?!", Sam yelled in my face. Jack came back to the kitchen, "my tongue has been raped without consent". Tyler was still scrubbing his tongue with his fingers, "I swear I tasted mushrooms in that". Everyone turned to face me for the second time, this time Rue asked, "Blake, what did you mix in the juice?". I took a tentative step back, smiling nervously, "I just blended the mushrooms and pineapple so..."

"YOU DID WHAT?!?"
