"Answer me, Hendrick!" I half-yelled.

"I didn't."

...

It hurts.

It hurts so bad.

'I didn't.'

Those words do.

I can't even believe my heart beats for someone who doesn't even like me or doesn't even trust me. I thought we were good friends. Aren't friends supposed to trust their friends?

"Okay," I said, dryly eluding eye contact with him. He sighed rubbing his hands together looking guilty. 

I walked past him to the dining room. 

....

"So...How did you guys meet?" Mommy asked licking the sauce from her lips. I looked up from my untouched food to her. 

"At school," I said, solely. She didn't seem fascinated with my answers so she drove on more. 

"How? When?" She asked. I inwardly groaned. Can't she see I didn't want to talk? On the other hand, Hendrick just sat peacefully scrolling through his phone like he didn't break my heart. Rose was right.

Boys are selfish. (A/n:- No offence.)

"In school and at the cafeteria." 

That took me to the time he was mean to me. My eyes felt watery but I decided to stay strong.

"Are you okay?" My mom asked lifting my chin up. I shifted my head not wanting to look her in the eye.

"Umm..yes. I need to ease myself." I muttered. She examined my eyes and face still looking for fault.

"You're crying. What's wrong?"

This was the most embarrassing thing. Crying in front of my crush and behaving like a baby. I sometimes wonder if what they tell was really true.

"Excuse me," I said standing up on my feet and moving across the room in search of a bathroom or anywhere I could get free air.

I touched my wet cheeks at the contact of tears on the fingertips of my finger. I was crying. It has to be the words Hendrick said or that doubts I have about him liking me. 

"Why me? I asked myself.

The evening sunset was just the right thing to get my concentration on. It was perfectly hung on the sky watching me. I sniffed as my head began spinning. This was why I hated tears. I brought my finger to my face once more to now feel the dried tears. I  deserved this.

 I was confused.

I haven't been in a relationship before so I didn't know much. 

"Umm...Mind if I join?" Someone behind asked. How much it still hurt for me to find out it was Hendrick's voice.

"If you want," I muttered secretly playing with my hair. I heard soft small footsteps followed by a sigh. 

"I'm sorry, Aurora. For everything." His deep voice spoke. 

I just hummed still playing with my hair. If that was the only thing he was going to say, Who am I to listen?

"I know you're hurt." He continued. 

A small soft noise made sounded just right in my throat. This was harder than I thought. I can't just see the reason why his apologizing was painful.

He deserved it.

He's the one apologizing. 

Not me.

He hurt me.

"For lying to you. For breaking your trust, for making you cry. That was never my intention. Please forgive me."

I secretly peeped from my hair, thankfully, it was long. Hendrick's hands were tucked in his black jean pocket and his hair which now looked brown, slightly. 

"Okay," I muttered.

The small pain in my chest now faded away. It was like his apologizing worked. 

"Do you have still have the cupcake I gave you?" I asked, fully facing him. From the corner of his eyes, I saw a glint of brightness.

"You bet I do." He said, placing a small kiss on my cheek. I giggled happily, wrapping my small arms around him. 

How I missed his hug so much!

"I'm really sorry Aurora. Next time I hurt you, I'm killing myself for sure." He said enclosing his huge bulky hands around my tiny waist. 

"Is there a next time?" I questioned, gloomily. 

"I hope there isn't."

---

"That's gross. I can literally smell your armpits. Oh my gosh! And you farted!" Mom yelled pointing to Hendrick's Dad who was now the clown in the show. 

"So how are you planning your birthday?" Hendrick's mom asked. I smiled, cheekily. 

"I want to go to the beach and have seafood!" I half-yelled, my hands in the air." I looked up to find Hendrick smiling at me. 

"That's lovely. Do you eat crabs?"

I frowned,

"I hate crabbies." 

"She's cute." His mom muttered making my redden. 

"Awwww...Nanny just called and she said she needs us home." Mommy said, pitifully. I grimaced with a small pout.

"Can I stay, please?" I said, pleading with my puppy dog eyes.

"I'm sorry, Aurora. She needs us and that means you can't stay." Mommy said again, putting her phone into her bag. 

I sighed.

"Okay."

"It's okay, Aurora. You can always visit us whenever you feel like it. But I think your nanny must really need you so it's best if you obliged." Mr. Harrison said.

I nodded taking another peek at the pink cupcakes screaming on the table not to be eaten. 

"You can take the cupcakes if you want," Hendrick said. 

I hurriedly grabbed the cupcakes without even thinking and rushed it into my mouth. The taste was so delightful and so pure. 

I moaned.

I thought I saw everyone freeze especially .....Oops! My mom!

"Sowwy, "I stammered.

"It's okay. Take as many as you want. It's all yours." Hendrick spoke.  

"Okay, bye!"

----

"Nanny! What's it?" Mommy yelled immediately she burst open the door. Today was the day I found out my mommy was a deer in a human form. She was sweaty and huffing after running a mile away from Hendrick's place. Unfortunately, she didn't die. 

"My family is alive!"

A/n

Sorry if this seems rushed. Actually, it was rushed. I just hope you get the message. Please get this to 15k....please?*Insert puppy dog eyes*
