Cookie Chapter II
As I walked out of the house, my mind was muffled and dazed. I still couldn’t fathom that that just happened. Forest dove right in the water, with her clothes on, no brainer, and saved that girl’s life without thinking. Right when everyone else was turning against someone, she would back someone up and be there for you. People assume she was selfish but she was actually selfless.
“Oi!”
My attention diverted to my side when I saw Harvey looking at me with a deep frown.
“What the heck was that about?”
“What?” I asked in confusion. I didn’t know what he was talking about. Partly because there was so much that happened tonight. I couldn’t even begin to comprehend it all now that I was outside, and feeling clean and fresh air from nature.
“Get home safe, For—” he grunted, trying to mimic my voice, and my words from a while ago. “That was not cool at all, if you think it was.”
I pressed my lips together and looked away in embarrassment.
“And giving her your jacket? And she—” He snorted, unable to finish his sentence.
I sighed and looked down in dismay. I had no idea Harvey witnessed all that from a distance and even followed me out. I did tell him to stay close to me so I guess I only have myself to blame for his teasing.
“What else are you gonna do? Open a door for and pull out a chair during dinner?” He sarcastically added with a questioning and insulting tone. The type that tells you they don’t believe in you and your capabilities. “Pretty sure that demon can open her own doors and even stab a person with her fork.”
I paused for a moment to look at my friend who was obviously having fun making fun of me. “No, but I can open the door for you. Sir?” I said, opening the car door wide for Harvey.
He hissed, crossing his arms and stepped inside anyway. I chuckled and closed it before running to the other side, by the driver’s seat, and preparing to leave.
“You saw, right?” I asked, Harvey, who was still looking out the window, waiting for us to drive away. “Forest went in and saved the girl.”
He hummed innocently and turned to me. “Saw what? I ain’t seen nothing.”
I arched a brow at him in disbelief, grinning at how bad he was at showing his denial of Forest’s good deed. “Sure, you didn’t.”
