"I miss her too"

These words kept on ringing in my head for the whole night. After the death of Amelia jack never for one talked about her. It first made me angry at him. She was his best friend.

How can he forget my sister and his best friend? How could he forget her just like that?

It pissed me off so much. He even stopped visiting our house and it made me madder at him. Even if he was Amelia's best friend I was part of their group too. Even though we were not on good terms I was still there with them everywhere they went because my sister never left me alone on my own.

All the time I and Jack fought like cats and dogs letting my sister be the only peacemaker in our group. Even though we argued and fought like foe we still had a bond between us and he broke it just like that. They were the only two people with whom I spent most of my time and both of them just walked out of my life just like that. One was taken away from me and the other one volunteered to get away from me. It made me so mad that he just stopped having contact with me.

He didn't just abandon my dear sister but me too. This was the main reason why my hate for him increased. All these things started to affect me in a bad way. Both the people I had most in my life left me just like that leaving me all alone. I realized at a very young age that people just leave you just like that. Nothing is constant, everything requires a change, and that what we fragile humans can't handle. Our hearts are so weak that we can't even let a small thing let go out of life. The feeling of someone leaving me always haunted me; it was so much for my little heart to bear.

That's why I started getting less involved with the people because I knew at the end they act all selfish and they leave you. And Jack was the last person I expected anything because I had understood as I grew up he had never any bond between us. For him, I was the annoying sister of his best friend and nothing else. It was hard for me to accept it but I learned to leave with it. I knew if he came back to play with me after my sister's death he must be just pitting me and I will never live that. I had already experienced that feeling and I never wanted to feel that again. So I kept making walls around me high and high until no one could get in. But my high walls of guards were brought by the person whom I least expected it. Jack again started to mess with me making me angrier at him than I was before. Why is he now playing with me? This question always made me stressed and frustrated.

Once when we were at Millers for our family dinner I saw him putting all his and Amelia's playthings which they made together dumping them in the bag to donate to children in our foundation. I got so angry with him. How he could do this. How could he just let go of all his childhood memories like that? Don't all these things mean to him anything anymore? Why so easily he chose to abandon the memory of Amelie like that? I can't even let go of her doll and he just like that is letting go of everything. I just stood there and continued to watch him as he kept dumping all the things in a big bag.

"Why are you doing this? She will be so sad to see you getting rid of her like that" I said in my cracked voice when I couldn't take it anymore while fisting my hands around my dress to control myself from wailing like a child. His actions even affect me. I don't know what they must be doing to my sister. He just looked at me after hearing my question. His light brown eyes looked at me for a minute but they again continued to do what they were doing before I interrupted them. He was getting more on my nerves by being silent. Well, this was the only thing he knew very well. Getting impatient I again opened my mouth.

"Won't you miss her more when you can't hold to your childhood memory with her?" I asked in the same voice but he didn't say anything.

"Don't you even miss her?" I asked in the same voice on the verge of crying as I knew he didn't care about anything anymore. Listening to my question he looked at me with his light brown eyes. They didn't have life in nor any expression in them. At that moment they were just a blank pair of light brown eyes staring back at me.

"No I don't miss her," he said, looking straight into my eyes, making me gasp loudly. I was not prepared to hear this. Even If he was not shown any emotion I still found ourselves at the same leave. I knew he missed her as I do and somehow I thought he would understand how I feel because both of us lost our dear one.

But his answer changed everything and I knew that we were not the same. He was the insensitive person I ever knew. One thing I knew I just needed to stay away from him and I did it until the very end. But he kept bugging me until he had broken the wall around me leaving me vulnerable in his arms. His sudden acceptance now after so many years that he misses my sister was like a blow to me. He was very well capable of hiding his emotion and very well in playing the emotions he didn't feel. It all makes me confused and scared at the same time. Which words of his were a truth that he missed my sister or not.

If his prior words were true then why didn't he accept them back then why did he choose this moment to accept such a thing which he has been denying for so long?

I was now standing in front of the kitchen island making breakfast for us. All these thoughts didn't let me sleep well but once he wrapped his hands around me I did get some sleep but still, his words made me think. I heard the sizzling sound and it made me grab the hot pan not even realizing I was holding the hot side.

"Ouch" I hissed in pain as I immediately let go of the pan and switch off the gas. Hearing my cry Jack came running to me.

"What happens," he asked in his concerned alert voice as he saw me hiding my hand.

"Nothing, I was just doing things absentmindedly," I said with a faint smile on my face.

"Stop hiding it and show me," he said as he took my hand to like it. My hand was red as it had a burn mark on it. His expression became hard when he saw a red burn mark on it.

"You say nothing happened. Look at this burn mark," he said in his hard voice like scolding me. He took hold of my wrist and took me to the living room making me sit on the couch while he went to take the ointment from our room. He came back and started applying it with a hard face. I knew he was mad.

"Jack" I called his name but he didn't respond to it and continued applying the ointment. "Jack" I again called his name. He looked at me with the same hard expression but they turned soft in a second.

"Cupcake, why do you keep acting stubborn? Why didn't you listen to me when I told you to have breakfast outside and see what happened," he said in his mixture of mad and concerned voices. Jack noticed my gloomy mood from the moment I woke up and that's why he asked to eat outside but I don't feel like it. I smiled at him with a faint smile on my face.

"I'm fine, it will get healed soon," I said while cupping his face with my other hand. He exhaled deeply as he saw my curved lips. He wraps his hand around me and pulls me towards him.

"When will you stop making me worry about you," he said as he wrapped both hands around me.

"Probably never," I said, making him laugh with me. He makes me so confused and at the same time, it feels like everything is so sorted out in our life. Everything feels so wrong at this time but at the same time, it feels like everything is so right. Maybe I should accept what is going on in my present and stop dwelling on my past. Things have changed and so do him and me. I can't judge him for what he chooses to say in our past or what he chooses to say in our present.

That day we had our meals outside. Jack didn't let me cook anything until my burn mark was completely healed and faded away. Jack even tried to cook but it was all burned. He tried his best to cook but he has to learn so much. I was happy that he did try cooking for me. I always wanted to marry a man who knew cooking like my dad. But don't get everything you want and I was not complaining about it. Time flew so fast we all got so busy with our work Jack was making me happy every day and I couldn't ask for anything more. Our project was even successfully launched. And I didn't even realize we were married for five months. Today we were going to donate things to our Amelia foundation.

"I'm ready. Let's go," I said as I came out of the room dressed in a light green sundress. He lifted his head and looked at me while he was drinking water from the glass and suddenly he spat it out as his light brown eyes lingered on me. With wide eyes and an open mouth, he kept looking at me. I moved my head in amusement and moved in the direction of the door but before I could take one more step further his hands wrapped around me pulling me back to his hard chest.

"We can go a little late right," he said in his husky voice as he pressed a kiss on my neck.

"No, we can't let's go, or else we will get late," I said as I tried to remove his hands around me, or else he will for sure make me late. But he still didn't let me go.

"Jack everyone is waiting for us aunty Sam called me twice asking when are we going to come," I said as I removed him and took him with me. He groans not wanting to go making me laugh but that he stopped me while making me turned. He captured my lips molding his lips with mine while his hands roamed all over my body. Making me wrap my hands around him. He only let me go when both of our lips were swollen.

"I'm not letting you sleep today," he said in his reading voice making a shiver run all over my body as I clench my hands over his blazer. I braced myself or else I will fall. He took my hand and we went out and soon after a thirty-minute ride, we reached our destination. Kids ran over me as they saw all the muffins in my hands. I met with dad, aunty Sam, and uncle Richard. I was happy to see them. All the time kids were near me not letting Jack near me. So he stood away watching me playing with kids with a smile on his face. The day was spent happily. It was now time to leave as kids already went to bed with their gifts. I couldn't find Jack anywhere.

"Aunty Sam did you see Jack," I asked her as they were getting ready to leave.

"Yeah I saw him going towards the garden with your dad," she said with a smile.

"I'll go and look for him," I said while returning her smile. I reached the door which took us to the garden. That's when I heard my dad's voice which made me stop at the door preventing me from taking one more step.

"When are you planning on telling her everything," dad asked in his serious voice.

"Never" I heard the hard voice of Jack which made my heart beat with fear. Immediately hid beside the door as I saw them moving. Their words had me fear about the thing I don't even have the slightest idea of.

"What is jack hiding from me?"
