17-Straight things are not always straight

Sara's POV:

Flashback:

I could see a room. A big one. My paralysed mom lying down on bed. A lady in red standing near her with a red teddy bear in her hand. Three year old little Sara was hiding behind the chair in the same room, looking at her little teddy in young lady's hand.

"Look, how much worried this teddy bear is for you. Don't want to see you in this pain. So, this teddy bear will help you end it. Okay, honey? You'll be happy, right?"

And the last thing i remember was something injected in her drip.

Present day:

My eyes were still wet. I came running to my room three hours ago. It was probably midnight by now. But i didn't care about time. I was blank. Just some flash backs in my mind. Bear killed my mom. It did. I remembered i told father about that incident back then. They just thought that I, as a little kid, too scared to remember anything. Doctor said mom died because of heart attack. But i still don't believe that. I still believe my mom was murdered. By bear and some lady. But i was too little to remember her face. The only face i remember was of my mother, at her death's bed.

Daniel's POV:

It was Sunday morning. Though it was off today, i wake up early to have exercise as usual as went out for a jog. Last night's incident was still fresh in my mind. Why did she reacted that way? All my mind could do, was to think about this question again and again. And beep of my watch told me to look at the time.

"She'll probably be awake. I should make something for breakfast."

Within ten minutes, i was on front door, passing by lawn, i entered the house. At right side of the launch, i saw her making something. I walked to her.

"Good morning."

My voice forced her to make an eye contact. Her eyes were slightly red. I could say she cried whole night.

"M-morning."

She answered and went back to her work.

"You alright?"

"Uuh, yeah. I'm making breakfast. You can go fresh up."

"Hm, fine."

I turned towards left , climbed stairs and went to my room to freshen up. Why do it felt so awkward? It felt she don't want to talk about last night. May be i shouldn't.

***********************

Whole day ended like this. I spent half of my day outside in the same park where i met my mom. At eight, at night, i decided to go back home. It took me an extra hour to reach home. I entered inside. As i guessed, she was sitting in front of television watching a talkshow. A girl watching talkshow?

"I'm home."

"Oh-h hi! You must be hungry. I cooked dinner."

She stood up from her place and went towards kitchen. Within fifteen minutes, i was sitting on dinning table with two dishes in front of me.

"You don't need to do so much things. Just cook for yourself from now on."

I felt bad for her, cooking for me. Why would she? We don't have any kind of special relation.

"A-actually, I'm still not satisfied, i mean i don't want to be a burden. Or live here for free. I can do house works and some little things."

"Okay, do whatever you want to do. No one will stop you."

She went back to launch. I finished my dinner within ten minutes and stood up to do the dishes and was about to do that. She interrupted.

"Don't be bothered. I'll do that."

And started getting herself busy. After thinking something, i went to kitchen. She was doing dishes.

"Tomorrow, i mean we have to go to school. I'll take you there. Be ready at 7. "

"I can go by subway. There is one near."

"Early at 7, that's it."

I didn't want to argue with her. So, i pretended that i ordered her. And without waiting for her response, i left for my room.

Richard's POV:

My patience, my controls, everything was out by now. She was with a guy. She betrayed me. Moreover it was the save guy Eva wanted. My mind and it's thoughts were out of my control. I was still in the car, outside, a little far from front gate. I could've just walked into the house, catch her from her hair and drag her outside. I must've been fun to do so. But i don't know, something inside me forbid to do that. What was that? Why was that? Even though it was something, I'm going to teach both of them a lesson. Especially her. I'll let her know the consequences of betraying me.

"Hey Richard!" Boss calling us."

Robert opened the car door. When did he leave? I don't know.

"I can't leave here."

"It's boss. We have to go."

And it felt like i was going to murder him fir forcing him.

"Okay, got that."

I shouted at him and soon unwillingly, we left the place.

Sara's POV:

I woke up at 5 in the morning. It was Monday. Last night, i told him i can go by subway. But his reply leave me surprised. I was still thinking. I thought about it all night. Was that an order?

Without wasting my time in further thoughts, i went to take bath and get ready. It took me half an hour. It was now 5:45am on my cell phone screen.

"I think I should go and start making breakfast now."

In no time, i was in front of the kitchen. But he was already there. Standing in front of electric stove, making something for breakfast. He turned, suddenly, and found me staring at him. For a moment, we couldn't help but staring at each other. And soon this eye contact broke with the sound of popping up of toasts from toaster.

"You ready? Finish your breakfast and we'll leave before 7."

He finished his sentence in one line. It was really awkward for me to stand there.

************************

"Wait what? I heard it wrong, right? You are not talking about Dan?"

Carrie loud voice as usual caught attention of my people around us.

"Shhh... Want to make an announcement?"

"No, i mean you are leaving at Dan's house? Like his mom is your mom's friend. You know each other. You are living together. My my, it's so romantic. Like you and him. Epic! Wonderful!
