my miracle life

stuffed peppers

I finish my food and head back to my room to lay down to sleep. I climb into my bed and lay down. The sun is up so I know I won't be able to talk to Dameon. I replay what happened at work again in my head and it seems to make falling asleep impossible. It keeps replaying in my head. Its another two hours before I'm so exhausted I finally fall asleep.

When I wake up the sun is setting so Dameon should be showing his face again. I am hoping to talk to him about my friends. I head down to the kitchen to see if I can find something to eat. I search the fridge and find some stuff to make stuffed peppers and start preparing them. Dameon walks into the kitchen and sits at the table. He watches me wash and cut the peppers in half. I turn the stove on to boil water for the rice and start frying the burger. The water starts to boil and so I add the rice. I stir the meat add the spices and make sure it's crumbled so it blends in with the sauce and onion I chopped up earlier. I mix them together and warm up the sauce with the meat. when the rice is done I drain it and mix it with the meat. I grab a slotted spoon and start adding them to the peppers. Once that is done I put it in the oven on three fifty for one hour. As the food is cooking i do up the dishes that were used to make the food and sit down on the other side of the table from Dameon. I pull out my phone to see if I missed any calls or messages. I didn't. I get up and walk to the door to leave since he hasn't said anything yet. He stops me by calling my name.

"Don't leave just yet. We need to talk about something." I stop in the doorframe and turn around. I walk back to the table and he motions me to sit down. "I'm sorry for being rude yesterday. I was close to something when you called and I got a message while I was walking into the hospital to get you that we lost it. I took it out on you and I shouldn't have."

"Its fine. I knew something wasn't right with you when you picked me up. I should of listened to you and stayed here. I'm sorry. I made you come get me and you missed your opportunity."

"No need to be sorry I told you if you needed me to call me. I have no regrets. We got an address just before I had to retire to bed. I am hoping that they didn't get a hint that we are coming today."

The timer for the peppers went off. I get up and go over and shut it off I open the oven door and check the peppers to see if they are done. They are so I grab a pot holder and pull them out of the oven and set them on the top of the stove. I get out a plate and a fork. I place the food on the plate and sit back at the table to eat.

"Are you going to offer me some of your peppers?"

"I'm sorry I didn't think that you could eat food. Can you? Would you like me to get you a plate?"

"I can eat food and taste food but it doesn't fulfill the nutrients. I can live without eating food. I cannot live without blood."

I make him a plate and set it in front of him. I forgot to get a fork so I walk back over the to the drawer with the silverware in it and grab him one. I give it to him and sit back down to eat mine. We sit in silence as we eat. It feels so nice to enjoy the food with him.

"Thank you." He says breaking the silence.

"Your welcome."
