“Hello?” 你 ask confused but still sobbing.
“Abby?” the man asks. “It’s Marshall. Are 你 ok?” he asks. 你 wipe 你 yes and take a breath.
“Does it sound like Im ok?” 你 yell at him though the phone.
“Hey, Im sorry, I was just concerned, 你 left so quickly,” he says. “Why are 你 crying anyway?” he asks.
“Why do 你 think Im crying 你 idiot,” 你 yell then start to feel bad for calling him a idiot, but hearing no reaction to that 你 really don’t care no more, 你 sit there and continue to cry just slightly.
“Is it because of me?” he asks softly.
“Its because…I…I want you, I want 你 badly, I want to be held 由 你 when Im sad, I wanna know what its like to feel your touch I wanna be with you. But we both know that cant happen,” 你 say crying harder now.
“Look, we can fix this, want me to come over there?” he asks. 你 start to think about it, 你 like the idea but 你 just cant say yes.
“No,” 你 say. “We cant break the kids up just because we wanna be together,” 你 say.
“Yeah we can, we’re the adults,” he says.
“Marshall, I don’t wanna hurt them,” 你 say still crying slightly. He sighs…
“Yeah I guess,” he don’t say anything for awhile…
“Look, I know this is something that 你 say to someone when 你 break up with them… but why don’t we just be friends, see other people, try to 移动 on, forget what happened today and see what happens in the future,” 你 say surprisingly calm.
“But I don’t wanna see other people!!! I wanna see you!!!” he yells sadly.
“We both know this, but we both know that they are just kids and that they cant stay together forever,” 你 say saying this makes 你 feel better knowing that there is a chance of 你 and Marshall getting together.
“Fine. I gotta go, bye,” he says sadly.
“Bye,” 你 sigh then he hangs up…. 你 sigh and look over at the door Jake is standing there. “Hey!” 你 yell at him which makes him jump. “Were 你 standing there this whole time!?” 你 ask him angrily. He hesitates… hes about to leave. “Don’t!” 你 yell. “Come here!” 你 demand. He slowly walks over to 你 with a sad face. He stops in front of 你 backing up a bit.
“I heard everything 你 said,” he says looking sorry.
“Jake, don’t worry about it,” 你 say.
“But, 你 seem so depressed, I want 你 to be happy,” he says.
“What ever 你 do don’t break up with Hailie just because I wanna be with her father,” 你 say staring at him.
“But mom, I hate seeing 你 like this,” he whines…
“Yeah but I don’t wanna see Hailie hurt, Marshall might not like neither of us if 你 hurt her,” 你 explain to him.
“Don’t worry about me, just be on with the relationship,” 你 say. He opens his mouth to say something but 你 stop him 由 putting your hand over his mouth. “We never had this conversation, now go be off, do your thing I gotta call Wanda back,” 你 say.
“Ok, fine…but I,” he starts 你 stop him again and point to the door… he sighs and walks out the door shutting it on the way out. 你 let out a big sigh.
Your phone starts to ring again, 你 look at it, its Wanda. “Hello,” 你 say trying to sound like your normal self.
“Hey, how come 你 didn’t answer when I called earlier?” she asks.
“Um, funny 你 should ask that, I was… talking to uh Marshall,” 你 hesitate to say.
“Ohhh,” she says 你 can tell what shes thinking.
“Its not what 你 think ok, nothing happened and nothing with ever happen,” 你 explain. “Now what do 你 want?” 你 ask.
“Well that was kinda rude to ask. Anyway what are 你 doing 下一个 weekend?” she asks.
“Um… probably nothing,” 你 reply.
“Then 你 can come up to Carols 舱, 小木屋 with all us girls,” she says. 你 run your hand though your hair. Carol is kinda short, she has grey hair, but shes an older woman she has a granddaughter. She owns the 舱, 小木屋 with her husband Tom. She a very niece lady also, 你 know her though Lisa, she works at the bank also she’s a teller. She has blonde hair and she has a daughter named Meleah her best friend is Megan. And 你 know that Meleah is completely obsessed with Eminem, now 你 know he’ll be a good birthday present for her, but not to keep. HELL NO!! (others will be explained later)
“Yeah!” 你 say quickly. “This will be good for me, all the girls coming?” 你 ask.
“Yeah,” she says. “Ok can I get a ride with 你 then?” 你 ask not wanting to drive to lake MI again, 你 did that last time 你 got so lost, it was dark 由 the time 你 got there. Not to mention 你 almost hit a hobo walking down the road in the woods.
“Yes, be at my house 由 8am,” she says.
“Megan’s gonna get up 由 then?” 你 ask her surprised.
“Im her Mother I can make her do things,” she says. “I gotta go, see 你 Saturday,” she says.
“Yeah bye,” 你 say.
“Bye,” she says. 你 close your phone and set it down on the nightstand.
“Jake!” 你 yell not moving from your spot, he comes running to you. He stops in the doorway and just stares at you. “Come in here,” 你 say.
“What did I do now?” he asks like hes annoyed with being in your room.
“Nothing, wanna go out for dinner?” 你 ask him. He gets this smile on his face. “I’ll take that as a yes?” 你 ask somewhat guessing.
“Yeah where?” he asks.
“Where do 你 wanna go?” 你 ask.
“Umm Burger King?” he asks…
“Sure,” 你 say. “Lets go,” 你 say. 你 gather your things then head off to Burger King….
你 arrive at Burger King. 你 order your 食物 then go sit in the corner of the place.
“You know Mom, I talked to Hailie earlier, and told her about how 你 liked Marshall,” Jake says. 你 spit pop out of your mouth it goes all over the 表 just missing your food. “I told Hailie that 你 liked her dad,” he says calmly. “Whats the big deal?” he ask.
“YOU TOLD HAILIE THAT I LIKED HER DAD!?” 你 yell, people around 你 start staring at you. An old man in the 座位 behind 你 turns around.
“No yelling,” he says.
“Mind your business,” 你 say turning your attention back to Jake.
“I don’t see why 你 care?” he says. “She kinda already had the idea in her head,” he says.
“Yeah now shes gonna hate me,” 你 say.
“She don’t hate you. In fact, we talked about it and we decided that…” he starts.
“You didn’t break up with her did you?” 你 ask interrupting him.
“No, let me finish. We decided that its not that weird if 你 go out with him, I mean because 你 know were not related so I don’t see what’s wrong with it,” Jake explains. 你 just sit there staring at him not knowing what to say. 你 scoff.
“Ha, you’re a teenager, Im an adult, theres a difference on how adults and teens view these things,” 你 say. “Now can we not talk about it, Im fine, I don’t need to be with him,” 你 say. “Its just too strange for us,” 你 say. He sighs, shakes his head and continues to eat. 你 sigh and shove 4 fries in your mouth. 你 look up and 你 see to girls ordering food, they look familiar. One girl is wearing a 衬衫 that says 埃米纳姆 on the back, she turns around to go to the pop machine. Turns out that 你 do know her. “Meleah, Megan!” 你 call. They both stop and look over.
“Oh hi Abby,” Meleah says with a smile then turning back to fill up her cup.
“Hey, guys,” Megan says with a smile walking over to the table.
“Hi, what are 你 two doing here?” Abby asks.
“Stalking you,” Meleah says coming to the 表 下一个 to 你 and Jake with the tray.
“Go away!” 你 yell joking around.
“Hey Meleah!” Jake yells.
“What?” she asks looking over at your son.
“My Mom knows….” he starts, 你 stop him 由 practically jumping over the 表 and covering his mouth.
“Knows who?” Meleah asks confused.
“No one, I don’t know anyone, uhhh we gotta go,” 你 say. 你 get off the table, and grab Jakes arm.
“Hey, Im not done”! Jake yells grabbing on to the rest of his sandwich.
“Ok bye,” Meleah says with a smile.
“Bye!” Megan says waving with 食物 in her mouth, as 你 approach the door 你 hear them giggling like their crazy selves.
“Damn that was close!” 你 say as 你 both get in the car. 你 look over at Jake giving him a dirty look. He just stares at 你 for a few seconds.
“What? What did I do?” he asks backing closer to the door.
“You almost blew it!” 你 yell.
“What? Telling Meleah that 你 know Eminem?” he asks confused.
“Yes! We gotta keep it a secret. I wanna have them meet on her birthday so don’t tell her please,” 你 say. “Don’t even tell Megan,” 你 say.
“What about Megan’s Mom wont she say something?” he asks as 你 pull out of the parking lot. He takes bite of his 食物 and stares over at you.
“I told her not too, just keep it a secret,” 你 say as 你 turn right.
“When is her birthday?” Jake asks 你 as 你 come to a red light.
“October 20th,” 你 respond.
“Wont she find out 由 the press?” Jake asks.
“Hope not,” 你 say. “Just as long as I don’t go anywhere to public with Marshall 或者 disguise myself,” 你 say.
“All that just to surprise her?” Jake asks 你 like you’re crazy.
“Yes,” 你 say. “She’ll 爱情 it,” 你 say with a smile as 你 turn into your neighborhood.
“Are 你 sure Marshall will go though with it?” he asks. 你 pull up in the driveway 你 stare at your son….
“He has a huge crush on me, Im sure he will,” 你 say as 你 get out the car. 你 walk in the house and go up to your room…. *Oh I should call Marshall and ask him if he can watch Jake this weekend, well not watch but so he can yeah whatever…* 你 think picking up your phone and dialing Marshalls number.
“Abby?” the man asks. “It’s Marshall. Are 你 ok?” he asks. 你 wipe 你 yes and take a breath.
“Does it sound like Im ok?” 你 yell at him though the phone.
“Hey, Im sorry, I was just concerned, 你 left so quickly,” he says. “Why are 你 crying anyway?” he asks.
