Chapter 48: 48.

" Hey, you look stressed out, are you okay?" Sunny asked her boyfriend as he entered the house.

" I'm fine...is there any food around here, 'm starving." he walked past her.

"Sunny?!" he called startling her.

" Is there any food in this house goddam it?!" he raised his voice at her again making her flinch.

" Please don't hit me," she murmured.

" Yeah, there's, there's some pasta on fire...let me go check it and serve you your food," she answered

shaking as she hurried past him to the kitchen. Her hands were still shaking as she took the food off

the fire and dished Keith's food. She set it on the table with a bottle of root beer. Keith stood in front of

the kitchen observing his girlfriend. She seemed so scared and was shaking the whole time.

I shouldn't have screamed at her.

He walked closer to her and put his hands on her waist making her flinch again.

" Please, please don't hit me." she repeated again as he let go of her. He turned her to face him. She

had her eyes closed as he held her wrists gently.

" Sunny, open your eyes," he softly added but she didn't.

" Babe, please," he begged. He could still feel her shaking.

" Who hits you or who used to hit you?" he asked her letting her hands go.

" Your food is served." she sobbed running past him to her room. They both had different rooms in the

house but most at the time she was always in Keith's room. She locked the door and sat in the corner

crying her eyes out. He had made her remember something she had buried deep within.

She was a victim of abuse when she was younger, she was weak she used to get beaten and bullied

by every member of her nuclear family. Her aunt was the one who took her away from those people

and brought her to Jersey City, NJ to live with her.

" Sunny," Keith knocked on the door. She didn't want him to see her in a mess so she didn't open the

door no matter how long he knocked. She lay on the floor sobbing and she didn't realise the time she

fell asleep.

Her tummy grumbled waking her up from her sleep. She checked the time and it read 8:00 pm. She

had slept off for three hours. She unlocked the door to her room and was about to head to the kitchen

when she saw Keith fast asleep beside her door.

She gently tapped him awake. " You need to go and rest, you've got work tomorrow." she shook him

again.

" No, I need to apologise to Sunny, I hurt her," he murmured in his sleep.

"Keith, wake up." she shook him harder as he opened his eyes and sat straight.

" Hey, are you okay?" he asked.

" I'm fine, go get some proper rest," she said walking away to get some food to eat. She put the

leftover pasta and meatball sauce in the microwave to warm it up and got herself a can of raspberry

soda. She stood humming 'IDER'S Mirror' as she drummed her fingernails on the counter in sync with

the beat playing from the radio.

"Do I really laugh like that?

Do I speak? Do I move? Do I look like that?

I can't remember what I'm good at

(Heal me, heal me, heal me, heal me)

Where you at? Where you at?

(Heal me, heal me, heal me, heal me)

Where you at? (Heal me, heal me, heal me, heal me)

I keep looking in the mirror

'Til I see myself, I see myself, eh

Hey lover, will you blow my cover?

'Cause I'm not myself, I'm not myself

I wake up in the middle of the night

And I look like a stranger in the bathroom light

I, I keep looking in the mirror 'til I see myself

People love, people leave, people let down

People show up, roll up, people grow up

People move out, people disappear

People don't change, people rearrange

People miss the game, people lose

People try, people lie, can't look you in the eye

People suck, people fuck, people leave their shit behind

People throw up on the carpet, people trip up on the stairs

People laugh, people dare, people scare, people tell you what to wear

People jump, people sink, people float, people think

People fail, people hate what they don't know

People think they're worth nothing, people think they're worth the top

People drop, people love what they know, people think but don't stop

I keep looking in the mirror

'Til I see myself, I see myself, eh

Hey lover, will you blow my cover?

'Cause I'm not myself, I'm not myself

I wake up in the middle of the night

And I look like a stranger in the bathroom light

I, I keep looking in the mirror 'til I see myself, I see myself eh..." the song ended as Sunny took her food

to her room. She just wanted to be left alone with no disturbance from Keith.

He wasn't seated at where she left him when she was heading to the kitchen. As much as she was

relieved, she was worried if he was fine at the moment.

Maybe I should go talk to him.

She knocked on his door waiting for a response from him before she entered. She was still holding her

plate of food and raspberry soda.

" Please come in," he responded. She opened the door to see him seared on his bed with his back

faced towards where she stood. He had buried his head in his hands and mumbling to himself.

"Keith, are you alright?" Sunny asked but not response.

"Babe?" she called again drawing his attention to her.

" Yeah, yeah babe." he got off from his bed walking towards her.

" I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scream at you. I had a hard day at work and I took it out on you. I'm

sorry." he apologized.

" It's fine, I forgive you. You hungry?" she asked him as he locked the door behind her.

" For something else, but not food." he took the food and drink from her placing it on the table.

" But I'm hungry." she pouted as he pecked her lips. Keith carried her unto the bed as she kept

protesting.

I'm glad I took my bath before heading out for food. she thought to herself.

" The food can wait," he smirked. He was in his favourite joggers before she came in. He had already

taken his bath as well.

" But----

Her breathe hitched as Keith pulled down her nightie shorts and started to lick her.

" Hungry..." she moaned the word as she threw back her head in pleasure.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
