18 Her Lies

In the previous chapter-

But how could that Mendel play with my brother's mind just to have some answer? Such a shitty human being. He crossed the line.

But at that time I hadn't known that it was necessary to be cruel at times. I was young and naive. If I would've known everything from the start, I wouldn't have said any of that. Poor me.

I laid on my bed and got the water bottle from my study table without moving. These days I could bring things closer to me after focusing for 2 minutes. It'd make me lazy eventually but I was okay with it. Another thing that I noticed was I could only bring them closer to me, I couldn't move them in any direction I liked.

Anyway, I'll have to let Jack know about Mendel. It was awkward that I called him Mendel in my mind but he didn't deserve the "Mr. " or respect.

If I told Jack, he'd be suspicious of me. He'd ask and I'd have no answer. I turned over. And it was not like the betrayal of Brutus in 'Julius Ceaser' book anyway. But still... Was I really gonna hide such a fact from Jack? Would it be okay?

I thought about making something up to him how he'd been deceived by Mendel. But then... I'd be a hypocrite. Urghh so frustrating.

"What's so frustrating Jenna?"

I looked up. Jack was standing in front of me. Shit. Did I say everything out loud?

"Eh- y-yeah! Your behaviour is frustrating. Why don't you ever make breakfast? Why does it have to be me?" I said, trying to maintain my calm.

"You know I-" his behavior showed he didn't hear everything.

"Can't cook? Oh shut up. You cooked for me before mom's and dad's funeral. "

"Jenna, can you please not talk about that so casually? " he said in a low voice.

"Oh... Sorry " I said.  He occasionally used to get sensitive about this topic.

He nodded and startes to use my hair dryer.

"Umm hey Jack! How about we go that amusemet part today?" I asked. It was a way to cheer him up and also... To feel as if I'm a child again, to stay away from all the worries. Yes... It was nothing more than a escape.

"Uh which one? Oh! You mean 'our childhood kingdom'? Sure!" He smiled brightly.

Well, the name of the park was something else but we used to call it 'our childhood kingdom'.

The afternoon came. Jack sure took his sweet time to get ready. When we reached the park, I noticed it had changed a lot, though nostalgia remained. From feris wheel to the rotor, we left nothing unriden.

"Hey Jenna, let's ride the feris wheel again " jack said.

"NO" I said. He asked even though he knew that I was a bit afraid of heights.

"Why? Were you scared? " he asked.

"Of course no-" I stopped talking. Actually, I couldn't talk as I had to run towards the dustbin after sometime.

"Eww jenna, at least go puke in the washroom " he said. I've seen brothers taking care of his sister in this situation in TV, I couldn't decide if they were fake or my brother is "special".

"I'm just spitting not puking! Now shut up and give me some water" I said angrily.

"Sure your highness " he went to buy a bottle of water.

I was mad at him was because when I was scared to death while riding the feris wheel, he was singing. He should've been scared as well. How did he dare to act cool!

After a while, my mood brightened when Jack brought me water and offered to go to the internet café to calm me down.

I agreed obviously. But I felt uneasy again. I've been feeling this for a long time.

I finally managed to ask Jack, "Hey, just saying, what would you do if some strangers follow you whenever you leave home?"

Jack stared at me. Was that a wrong move...? What if he started to worry...

"Umm, why did you ask? Oh, ya are just sayin'. Well I'd feel like a star followed by lots of fans I guess" he smiled.

"What the hell?" I laughed. It really made me feel more at ease. I realized that all I had to do was analyze the situation properly without panicking. Then I could make good decisions.

"Hmm but do you know him? He kept following us since we came to this café " Jack pointed at someone rudely.

Well, that was when we had an argument again. No it wasn't because of his pointing finger. Bit rather his behavior. How could Jack behave like that with him?

We came back home.

"Take this" Jack gave Jenny the kid's toy they won at the amusement park.

"Heh, I thought this was yours" I said.

Jack didn't reply and went straight into his room. I sighed. My bro'd been acting like that since Jack met him.
