ALL MY LIFE

PART FIFTEEN

Scott looked at Jody's pants lying the floor next to the bed.

"Hey, you got a dead any on your butt." Scott said.

"Excuse me?"

"On your pants. There's a squished any on the butt."

"Ohhh!" Jody nodded. "Well, me and Charlie were sitting under a tree… oh well. It's better than a bunch of dirt on my butt."

Scott checked the pants again. "Oh, that's there too."

"What? You mean to tell I walked all over New York City and in this big fat fancy hotel with dirt on my butt?" Jody exclaimed.

"Whoa, chill. It's not like there's a hotel butt inspectigator."

Jody giggled. "Yeah." Jody kissed Scott and his cell phone rang. He pulled back from Jody and rolled over.

Pulling his cell phone out of his bag, he clicked it on. "Hello?" He said, giving Jody an apologetic look. "Yes. Oh really? Are you serious? Oh, wow, that's great." Scott continued to talk and eventually said, "Ok. Yes, thank you. Good-bye." He hung up and turned happily to Jody.

"Who was that?" Jody asked.

(**Now, remember, this is sorta the future…**)

"Well, remember how they put CATS back on Broadway a while ago?" Scott asked excitedly.

Jody nodded. "Yeah, so?"

"Well, I sent them this tape and stuff a while back… and anyway. Uh, I'm gonna be on Broadway!"

Jody sat up and pulled the covers up around her. "Oh my God, Scott! That's… so great!"

Scott smiled. "I know, thanks."

"Well, when do you start?"

"In like a month… well, that's when I start learning it all and stuff."

"That's great! Oh… wait." Jody frowned. "That's here in New York City. We… we live 2 hours away."

The realization hit Scott and his smiled faded. "Oh. Wow. I totally forgot about that… ugh. We, we can visit each other every weekend?" Scott offered.

Jody nodded. "Uh huh." She stood up and snapped the sheet off the bed, out from under Scott. She grabbed her clothes. Going into the bathroom to change, Jody smacked her knee on the doorframe. "Shit… damn door." Jody cursed as she shut the door.

She couldn't believe Scott was just going to up and leave her like that. First Charlie, now Scott, what next? Jody sighed and slipped back into her clothes.
