All that you are is all that I'll ever need.

Next day
"Jacob I can walk on my own." I say with a laugh as he carries me inside the house.
He smiles down at me.
He puts me down on the kitchen island.
Just then, Noah, Ethan and Liam enter. Each carrying a big box in their hands. They place it next to me on the island.
"What's in these?" I ask.
Noah opens his. "Yogurt and that weird curd you like so much." I peep in to find it filled with yogurt cans of different flavours and Indian curd cans.
Liam opens his. "Chocolates." This box is filled to the brim with chocolates. So many that I haven't even heard the name of half of them. But I notice that each one is nut free.
Ethan, at last, opens his. "Indian pickles, pulses and what's this called.." He points at wheat flour.
"Atta." I tell.
And really that box is filled with indian spices, pulses, pickles and a 5 kg pack of atta.
"Well thank you for all this but why's there so much of everything?" I ask.
"So that you eat. From now on its our goal to make you gain atleast.." Liam scans me from top to bottom. ".. four kgs." He concludes.
I laugh. "It's not possible. I haven't gained an ounce since ages." I've tried I swear. But I just can't seem to adjust to American food. So I only have one or at the most two meals a day.
"We'll see. From now on. You will eat everything we provide. Everything." Ethan says in a scolding tone.
--------------------------------------------
"I cannot eat anymore!" I whine.
First salad. Then tacos. Then the Indian food I made myself. I devoured it. And now they are making me eat curd.
"Just a little more Sierra." Noah urges pushing it towards me. "You like it."
"But there's no space for it in my stomach." I complain. They will not let me off the hook this easily. "Hey I think Caroline's at the door." I lie.
They turn their attention to the door. I slip under the dining table and run off.
"Wait.. isn't she in LA right now?" Liam asks.
Then they look at the empty chair.
"Fools!" I shout and laugh at them and run out through the back door.
"Oh you're so dead." Ethan voice reaches my ear before the door closes behind me.
They follow to the back yard.
"Do you really think you can outrun all four of us?" Jacob ask daringly.
I regret my decision now.
