Where It All Began [COMPLETE] (IG SERIES)

92.

  I went in the kitchen to make him the breakfast I promised. He helps me by peeling off the potatoes and slicing the cucumbers, though he cuts them with different width and sizes.
It's not much of a big deal though, at least he's helping me.
I served him fried potatoes with bacon, eggs and cucumber; he loved it.
We both did the dishes, I wash while he wipes them clean.

We sit for a while after eating and cleaning, he turns on the TV in the living room.
He puts his arm around me and enjoyed the sitcom.

Then I remember about him, being alone in this apartment.
~
"Baby..?" I said looking up at him.
"Yeah?"
"Why're you living alone?"
"Love cake.. I'm 19. I've been living alone ever since I was 16."
"Where are they?"
"Who they?"
"Your mum.. dad? Siblings?"
"Mum and Dad's divorced. Mum remarried while dad made himself a rich businessman.. money is the only thing that he cares for."
"Oh my gosh baby.. I'm sorry."
"..Don't, I'm not taking it negatively. I'm taking it as a challenge.. and actually I have a sister. She's living with my mum and my stepdad's."
I held his cheeks and just feel him.
"My real dad, who's rich ignorant businessman now, pays for this apartment I'm living in."
"Oh Shawn.. we're just like each other then..?"
"Yeah.. but now we have each other, we won't feel alone anymore."
I nod and we continued watching.

By afternoon, I told him that I'll be going home since someone needs to check and guard the house.
He hugs me and begged cutely.
"Please? Please don't go love cake.. I'm not fully recovered yet." He coughs lowly and unreal.
I laugh and smacked his body jokingly, "Stop that."
"I'd get the fever again if you leave, I'm feeling it in my bones."
"You're using that as your power to stop me from going."
"No, I'm serious." He coughs again quite fake.
"Fine, I'll stay.."
"Yep. Shawn Mendes won!
