Summer Daisies

Jonathan watched as the teddie bear flew across the air and hit Leo in the face. It could not have been too painful, but it it still looked like it hurt. He saw the boy storm off. He scooted over and hugged Sierra. "I'm sure he's fine and it has nothing to do with you," he said. He held her close to his chest and ran his fingers through her hair. "Maybe he's just jealous that there's another boy around? I'm sure he'll get over it, Sierra."
Jonathan gave Sierra a smile of reassurance in hopes of comforting her. He didn't like seeing her get so upset... Especially when it's because of somewhere else.

"Leo? Jealous? Who would he be jealous? He is my best friend. I thought he would be happy that I was finally happy. I havent been this happy since before Max's accident. I thought he would be happy..." Sierra leaned into Jonathans chest and breathed in his warm and welcoming scent. "Come on. I think its dinner time. I hope you like chicken and mashed potatoes. Its my favorite. So mom made it for our coming home dinner." Sierras stomach growled as proof that she was starving.

"It'll be fine, Sierra. He'll get over it so don't worry about it." Jonathan tried his best to calm her down. It wouldn't look good at all if they came to dinner together with her crying. He smiled at her comment and couldn't help but roll his eyes at it. "Chicken and Mashed potatoes? That's an everyday meal back home." Jonathan couldn't we he didn't have mashed potatoes accompanied with a meat. His mother really cooked it a lot, and the two foods were quite popular in German households. Jonathan got up to his feet and followed Sierra, holding her hand tightly.

Sierra ran down the stairs as soon as she heard her mother say that dinner was ready. She dragged Jonathan along down with her and sat at her usual spot. Leo went to sit in the seat beside her but Sierra coughed nervously, "Um.. Leo? Would you mind if maybe Jonathan sat there. Just so he can sit by me?" SHe asked without meeting his eyes. She motioned for Jonathan to sit by her and began eating. "Supper yummy, momma." Sierra smiled and looked over at Jonathan. She held his hand under the table and felt something kick her leg. "OW!" She looked across the table at Leo who was scowling, "Leo! You kicked me!" He just smirked and went back to eating.

Jonathan approached the table cautiously, thinking of where to sit. More so, which seat was the safest for him to sit in. He about to sit by Mrs. Logan, until he heard Sierra asking Leo to give up his seat. He didn't like that; it wasn't like Jonathan was the queen or anything. The young man was just a guest. "Sierra, it's alright, really," the boy quickly spoke up, but it was too late. Now he was sitting next to Sierra in Leo's usual seat and he can feel the uneasy tension. Jonathan pushed it aside and whispered a prayer under his breath before he began to eat. It was a usual thing for him to do; both of his parents were Catholic. Jonathan tasted and ate the food in small bites, making sure to enjoy the food to the fullest. "This is very delicious," he said. "My best compliments to you, Mrs. Logan." He figured it was the best thing to start off the conversation. No doubt this would be the perfect time for Sierra's parents to ask everything about him. Jonathan raised a brow when he heard Sierra's sudden yelp. He glanced at Leo then returned his attention to his food. It was probably better for him keep his mouth shut and ignore the boy.

Sierra threw her napkin down and scooted back from the table. "Im done." She walked away from the table and her family and ran up to her room with an injured and now bruising leg. She slammed her door so hard it practically made the house shake. She flopped onto her bed and screamed into her pillow. After she finished doing that, she looked down at her leg. There was a nasty blue and brown bruise on her usually clear porcelain skin. She groaned and flopped back onto the bed.

He looked over and gave Sierra a confused look. "But we just sat down." Sierra didn't answer him and instead ran upstair quickly. He knew something was definitely wrong. Still... It couldn't be too bad right? He turned back to his food and decided to stay at the dinner table. He figured giving her some time alone would be good; he had already tried comforting her early so there wasn't much else he could do now. Jonathan couldn't help but look back at Leo. What was this guy's problem? Jonathan swallowed his food then took a sip of his water. His movements were swift and held and elegance to them.

Sierra came back down stairs after a while and grabbed her plate. "Im starving." She sat beside Jonathan and ate in silence. She could feel Leos death glare on her and she looked up, "Leo, what is going on? Youve been so mean since we got here. What did I do!?" She asked in tears. Leo just stood up and left the house without a word. "Leo? LEO!?" Sierra ran outside after him and they talked, well screamed for a few minutes then he walked off. Sierra came back inside in tears and ran straight for Jonathans arms.

The young man looked up and smiled, seeing Sierra return back to the table. Well that problem fixed itself. He continued eating in the calm silence. It felt like dinner was back to normal... At least so he thought. Jonathan turned his attention away from his food and listened to Sierra's outburst and emotional scene with Leo. Then he watched as they both left the table. The whole thing was just.... Crazy. He looked at Sierra's parents with an stunned and uneasy look that matched their own. It wasn't long before Sierra was back, and Jonathan tensed up as she clung to him, crying. He put down his utensils and hesitated in shock before actually wrapping his arms around her. The young man looked back at her parents in hopes they would help with the situation, or at least help with Sierra. Jonathan was surely too confused and lost to think of what to do.

Sierras mother rested a hand on Jonathans shoulder and the other on Sierras, "What happened dear?" Sierra wiped away her tears and looked up at her mother, "Leo hates me... actually he loves me. And thats why he hates me. He hates me because I brought Jonathan home and because Im dating Jonathan instead of him." Sierra said before hiding her face in Jonathans chest, "But I dont care." She said muffled by Jonathans shirt. She pulled away and sniffled, "I dont care. if he wants to stop being friends because Im happy with Jonathan, than fine. I dont care." She held Jonathans hand and looked at him, "Im so sorry you had to be here for all this crazyness. Its usually not like this. i promise."
