Long day
Jacob's side:
After eating and relaxing a bit, i was finally able to fall asleep. I still had a lot on my mind, what about my brothers? What about Layla's safety? I might have been able to protect her this time, but what if it happens again?
Even this time, i was almost too late, i can't even imagine how she must've felt.
***
I woke up the next morning extremely tired, and my muscles were aching. Layla was sleeping peacefully next to me as she snored, i didn't expect her to sleep so softly. I was still thinking about what had happened, i can't forgive my father for this.
He's done many things that aren't okay, but this draws the line. I never thought i could hate my father more than i already did, i didn't think he was completely heartless either, but now i know for sure.
I got out of bed and started to make breakfast, it was the least i could do for Layla. I still feel guilty for what happened, and i know i'll be thinking about it all day. When will things go back to normal? Will things even go back to normal once this is over?
I was overthinking so much that i didn't even realize Layla woke up.
L -"Good morning"
J -"Oh, good morning"
L -"It smells like somethings burning?"
J -"Oh shoot!"
I looked down at the pan and realized that i burnt the eggs i was cooking, i really need to start paying attention. The eggs were so burnt that they weren't really edible anymore, so i had to throw them out and start over.
J -"Sorry about that"
L -"You don't have to be sorry, thanks anyway"

We finished up our breakfast and got dressed, even though we weren't going to do anything today.
Layla's side:
I looked over at Jacob, who seemed to be very stressed, and gave him a light hug. We had been through a lot so i'm not surprised he feels this way. I've been overthinking as well, and i think we should both try to calm down.
L -"Are you okay?"
J -"Don't worry about me, just get some rest"
L -"I'm fine, don't worry about that. Let's just try to forget about what happened for today and relax, okay?"
J -"Okay"
