30 - TAKING IN *ARE YOU TRYING TO BRING DOWN THE ROOF?*

March 19, 2019

STAR'S POV

"...and then she just left home. I haven't even heard of her in 3 days now" I say quietly, hugging my knees to my chest

"Have you tried reaching her?" Kester asks and  I shake my head no

"I don't think she wants to hear from me" I say

"Star..."

"She really doesn't." I cut him off "You didn't hear all she said to me and how much spite she had in her eyes when she looked at me. Trust me, I'm the last person she wants to receive a call from" I say, sighing as I thought about it, my eyes down at my feet

"Did you think about coming to stay with me?" He asks and I bring my eyes to his

"You think I should?"

"Of course. I don't want you to have to go through occasional insults simply because she is helping you for the time being. You don't deserve how she treats you" he says and I sigh

"She's not a bad person"

"Yet she acts like that?"

"It's my fault. Before I even spoke to her, I knew she was in a bad mood and she practically pleaded with me to leave her alone for the time being but I insisted and she ended up lashing out at me" I say

"So what? It doesn't give her a right to speak to you that way. I don't appreciate her making you feel bad about something that's not your fault" he says

"She doesn't do it on purpose, she just has a bit of a bad temper, that's all. Besides I'm the one who pushed her when she clearly warned me against it and told me she wasn't in a good mood" I say

"I don't care about all that Star, it's you I care about. If it doesn't get sorted out quickly and she doesn't show any signs of an intention to live with you properly then you're staying with me" he says and I sigh

"Okay" I say only, knowing he won't listen to him

Just the same way I get protective of him, he's the same for me.

I completely understood where he was coming from.

In the brief silence that fills the room, I can't help but think about her words to me and for some reason, it makes my heart hurt a lot.

It's been almost two months and yes, we don't know that much about each other even though we've lived that long but I really had a special place for her in my heart

I really, sincerely took her as a friend, someone I could talk to and have occasional laughs with and playfully bother even though she acts like she's annoyed but ends up actually having fun.

Someone who I really liked, someone whose smile caused me to smile. Whose personality and words although not meant to be funny, caused me to laugh cause she doesn't even have to try to be funny.

I guess... because it was her who said all that to me, the one who looked at me with such hate.

Because it was her, that's why it's hurts so much.

I can't help the sigh that leaves my lips at my thoughts.

I really don't like that I get like this when it's involving her.

"Are you okay?" I hear Kester and look up at him, forcing a smile onto my lips

"I am. Just tired is all" I answer before laying my head on my knees resting against my chest.

Please don't like her.

I don't think I do in that way but I still can't help that momentary thought as I shut my eyes
