AFTER WHAT FELT like hours, you finally came out of the bathroom and seated yourself on the previous spot, in the corner but this time you were aware of the stinging pain causing by the reality's harsh slap instead of losing yourself in a dreamland.

Aunt Yiriko knew better than to ask you that what were you doing in the shower for two hours. "Y/N, honey.. please eat something." she requested as she approached you with worry streaked face.

You shook your head with glassy eyes.

"If you keep skipping meals then you'll get weak." she said with a slight frown of worry on her face.

You stayed silent.

She heaved a defeated sigh and left with slumped shoulders.

Ring Ring!

Beep Beep!

You stared at the lit up screen.

30+ missed called from Tarzen<3

9+ texts messages from Tarzen<3

You hesitantly picked up the phone and opened the texts.

Tarzen<3

Tarzen<3 : If you call me Edward again then I will call you Bella.

Tarzen<3: Bella because she's dumb like you. LOL

-3 Days ago-

Tarzen<3: Hey, aren't you going to come to the practice.

Tarzen<3: Y/N stop ignoring my calls and texts.

Tarzen<3: Are you ok?

Tarzen<3: Are you mad at me? Did I do something rong?

Tarzen<3:If so then plees forgive me and answer my calls.

Tarzen<3: It's okay, I get it. We'll talk in school about it.

-2 Days ago-

Tarzen<3: Why did you skip school????!

Tarzen<3: Pick up my calls Y/N, please.

Tarzen<3: Goddamnit

Tarzen<3: Can I come to see you at your house if your parents don't mind?

-A day ago-

Tarzen<3: I guess I'll have to take it as a 'No'..

Tarzen<3: At least reply to my texts, I'm seriosly worried and I don't want to put you into a bigger trouble by showing up at your house.

-Today 6:30-

Tarzen<3: You skipped school and training again.

Tarzen<3: I guess I kno wat I have to do now.

You stared blankly at the texts, not feeling like socialising or even saying anything. You felt dull.

Shutting off your phone, you put it aside and you tilted your head upwards, facing the ceiling. Closing your eyes, you rested your head against the wall behind you, feeling overwhelmed by the emotions that were enveloping you.

Countless tears escape your eyes as the past few days began to catch up with you. A sob broke out of your pursed lips, forcefully.

Knock knock!

Came loud knocks on the main door, almost making you jump on your spot as your eyes jerked open.

Knock knock!

"Coming!" shouted your aunt as she rushed towards the door, wiping her hands in the apron.

You heard her open the door.

"Are you..." was all the distant voice which you heard. You couldn't make out of what she said after that as it was quiet or maybe your brain just wasn't function normally.

After some distant conversation and shuffling by the door, you heard approaching footsteps which most certainly did not being to you aunt.

The figure entered inside the living room. You tilted your head upwards to look at that familiar face which always excited you.

Your tired eyes met the vibrant caramel ones, almost widening at the contact as your heart decided to pound out of panic under the intense gaze of the raven haired boy.

Baji..

No no no! He shouldn't be looking at my pathetic state right now.

You averted your gaze to the floor quickly and hide your face behind your hands, embarrassed that he was looking at your sulking form.

Aunt Yuriko quickly left you two alone in the room and you felt the anxiety suffocating you and clawing you from the inside

Awkward.

He approached you slowly and then you felt him crouch down in front of your curled up form on the floor. He's probably disgusted.

"Look at me." he demanded softly but your eyes stayed fixated on the floor beneath you.

Without a warning, he lifted up your chin with his long, index finger and you were finally face to face with him.

A pained expression crossed over his face as he stared into your e/c eyes which were drowned in the deep sorrow.

"You had me worried," he mumbled, "Me.. And everyone else." he quickly added.

Baji glanced at the photo frame in your, "I'm ashamed that I wasn't be able to help you in anyway, I'm sorry that I wasn't of no use and was oblivious to everything." he whispered, ashamed at his actions.

You gave him a questioning glance.

"Your aunt just told me." he clarified.

"Aren't you going to say something..?I'm doing all the talking. " he smiled softly at you, making eye contact once again.

"Let me guess, you're probably mad at me that I called you Bella Swan." He said with a chuckle, trying to lighten up the situation.

You remained silent.

His smile dropped into a serious expression, "I know it's hard for you," he sighed, "You lost the two most important persons in your life," he placed his large palm on the side of your cheek, staring at your tear streaked face as more, fresh tears fell from your eyes at his words, "But don't ever forget, that you have me."

You finally shook out of your numb state as your began to turn glassy.

You pounced at him, enveloping him into your embrace, not saying a word but expressing a lot.

He firmly hugged you back.

"Also, you're never going to get rid of me that easily, Bella Swan." you felt his body vibrate as he let out a soft laugh, making your lips curve into a small smile.

Just when he finished his sentence, the middle aged woman entered in the living room, "Am I interrupting anything?" she asked with a smile making you two quickly break your embrace.

You spotted a tray of food in her hand.

"Make sure she eats." she said with a smile, holding the tray out to Baji.

"How long has she been skipping meals for?" he asked, taking it from her.

Aunt Yuriko shot a glance at you, "Everytime I'd appear with a meal she'd shake her head and if I force her, she finally eats.. but barely."

He nodded at the information, "Leave that to me." he said giving her a grin.

She nodded with a smile and left.

Setting the tray in front of him, he moved it towards you, "Eat."

You stared at the contents in the plate and shook your head. Rice and curry was the last thing I wanted to eat right now.

He picked up the plate in his hands, "I'm not asking, I'm demanding."

You felt like you needed to open your mouth, "I--" your voice cracked when your throat scratched the attempt.

He quickly got up and left the living room. After a moment or two he returned with a glass of water.

"Here." he said offering it to you .

You accepted it gratefully and desperately gulped it down.

"Thanks.." you whispered.

"You're finally speaking now," he sounded happy as he said that.

"But I'm not feeling like eating."

"Yes, you ARE." he lifted up the plate in his hand again and took spoonful of the rice and curry, "Now open your mouth, aaa." he said lifting up the spoon to your pursed lips.

You eyed the food and hesitantly opened your mouth, he shoved the spoonful of the food into your mouth and smiled proudly at the success.

Your face was on fire by now as you chewed it, staring at the plate.

"Good girl." he pated your head.

Some Baji content is all we needed and I know it.
