Chapter 15: Ex-Convention

Disclaimer: You know the deal don't own em blah blah woof woof.

      Margaret continued playing pool as this man tried making his presence known but what this guy didn't know was that Margaret already knew he was there.

Shawn (the guy/Margaret's ex): How---

Margaret (pissed off): What the hell do you want Shawn?

Shawn: How did you know it was me?

Margaret (cold tone): I don't know...wild guess, so what do you want?

Shawn: Look I didn't come here to cause trouble---

Margaret (cutting him off): That's a first.

Shawn (irritated): Like I was saying I came to see if you were alright. I mean I heard what happened to your dad and about your accident so I just wanted to see if you were okay?

Margaret (sarcastically): As you can see I'm just dandy so you can leave...you know what I'll save you the trouble and go. So don't even think 'bout following me--

Shawn (cutting her off): What? You gonna get big brother to beat me up?

Margaret (cold tone): No as much as I know Zane will love that.....but the only person who's gonna be dishin' out some major ass kickin' is me and guess what? Your ass is the one I'm coming after.

Shawn (Margaret's back was already turned): Tsk, tsk, tsk. Such a big mouth for such a young lady.

      Margaret didn't even bother saying anything she just kept on walking. She went back to the bar and finally saw Max and her friend Original Cindy. (Herbal and Sketchy had already gone back to work).

Max: Hey Margaret.

Margaret: Hey Max...Cindy.

O. Cindy: Hey gurl...damn you look like someone just murdered the love of your life.

Max: Ya that's how angry you look, so what's up?

Margaret: Oh nothing just ran into my ex.

Both girls in unison: Oh say no more!

O. Cindy: So what's he want...if it's alright for me to ask?

Margaret (signing): Ya its fine...claim he came to see how I was doin'.

Max: That doesn't sound so bad.

Margaret: If only you knew the whole story.

      As Margaret was about to tell them the story between her and Shawn. Guess who showed his two timing face...Shawn.

Shawn: Look Margaret I'm sorry for what I said back there please just give me five minutes of your time and let me explain.

Margaret: One.

Shawn: Three.

Margaret: Two take it or leave it.

Shawn: Fine but let's go somewhere where we can talk alone.

Margaret: No whatever you have to say, say it now (sarcastically) unless you wanna wait till the next ex-convention?

Shawn: Look I'm sorry that I hurt you...

Margaret: Go on.

Shawn: I'm sorry I hurt you but I never meant to cause you any pain please believe me, and I came back here to maybe, just maybe get back what we once had. So what do you say?

Margaret (in disgust & anger): NO! There will never EVER be anything between us ever again. Also take your sorry ass apology and shove it cuz the only thing your sorry 'bout is the fact that you got caught and to top it all off it was with my brother's girlfriend. (Standing up and grabbing him by the choler of his shirt with both hands.) Now you listen and listen good cuz I'm only saying this once: you stay away from me, my brother, and my friends. You can also go tell that bitch Amber to stay the hell away from my brother cuz if she comes within a 100 ft. from my brother she'll wish she had never been born. Then I'm coming after you cuz obviously you didn't pass this little message on to her. Understand?

Shawn: Ya, ya.

Margaret (through gritted teeth): Say 'I understand'.

Shawn: I understand.

Margaret: Good. Now get the hell out of my sight...in fact get the hell out of Seattle while you still can.

      Before she could say anything else he was already out the door with the blink of an eye.

O. Cindy: Wow! You go gurl!

Max: So mind filling in the blanks?

Margaret (signing): Long story short: Shawn; my ex slept with Amber; Zane's ex. The reason he slept with her was cuz I wouldn't sleep with him and I thought he understood...guess I was wrong. Why you ask with Zane's girl well let's just say Amber is the biggest slut in Oregon and Zane couldn't see that until he caught them in bed together.

Max: Oh.

O. Cindy: Well you told him and her even if she wasn't here. Ok we gotta go or Normal's gonna fire our asses.

Max: Ya so I'll see you later.

Margaret: Okay bye

O. Cindy: Bye.

Margaret: bye.

~~~~~Later that Day~~~~~

After Margaret left Crash she never really went home. She just cruzed around on her bike till it was like six o'clock. She had gone down to the beach to think. //What the hell was Shawn doing here? What, he thought if he came back after two years that I'd forgive him and take him back? He was dead wrong...I mean what the hell is up with guys, are their lives purpose on hurting the women they supposedly "love"? I'm not sure anymore...I'm just not sure.//

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~Crash~~~~~

      Zane, Tony, Logan, Max, and Zack were all sitting at a booth in Crash. They were there drinking, laughing, talking, and just having a good time. It had been all day since Zane had seen Margaret and vice versa Zack had been kind enough to let him know that she was alright and that put his mind at ease. While they were all discussing something a girl walked in and headed to the bar. Mean while at the table Tony had said something hilarious that made the group break out in laughter but  Zane's was the loudest and the woman at the bar realized she knew that laugh anywhere.

      So she walked towards the group of people sitting at the booth across from the bar...

Amber: What? Portland not good enough for you anymore?

Zane (everyone else confused): Ya guess it's something 'bout the people. 'Sides what the hell would I be doing in Portland when my girlfriend, my sisters, my brother, all my friends and the people I know are here?

Amber (a little confused): So aren't you gonna introduce us?

Zane: No even I'm not that mean. (Signing) but if it's a must... (Pointing to everyone as he says there names) this is Tony, Zack, Logan, and Max. Guys this is Amber my ex-girlfriend.

Amber: You say everyone you know is here but I beg to differ Jason and Willa are in Portland and what about...your Father?

Zane (the pain clearly showing on his face at the last word mentioned): First of all Willa and Jason are here, for how long? I don't know and second of all my father died two weeks ago but not that it's any of your business.

Amber (totally shocked at the last part): Zane, I'm so sorry...

Zane: Ya save your apologies. God knows I've heard them one too many times.

      By this time Margaret had already walked in and she had heard the mention of her father. So she simply said this...

Margaret (everyone happy to see her but Amber. She had only realized Margaret was there when she said...): You know what big brother?

Zane: What's that little sister?

Margaret: The best thing 'bout dad was that he always hated (looking at Amber and in a cold/venomous tone) her.

Zane: Oh I know.

Amber: Very funny.

Margaret: Oh I'm glad you think so. What brings you to Seattle? Did you fuck all the guys in Portland and came here looking for fresh meat?

Amber (sarcastically): Ooh I'm hurt.

Zane (cutting in):  Alright I'd hate to break up this little love fest, but me and Tony have to go, we have to be someplace so we'll see you guys later.

      Five minutes after they left Max asked Logan if he wanted to go he said yeah but first he had to go to the restroom. Margaret sat down next to Zack and started to ask Amber...

Margaret: What are you doing here anyway?

Amber: None of your business.

Margaret: Your here to see Zane. Am I right or Am I right.

Amber: So, it's not a big deal.

Margaret: That's where you're wrong, it is a big deal. Stay away from my brother! I'm warning you if you come within 100 ft. of him I will make you sorry you were ever born.

Amber: You know what shove your half assed threats because you are so damn full of it.

Margaret: You know what maybe I am but maybe I'm not. So try and do ANYTHING and we'll see what happens.

      With that said Amber stomped off to the bar again and Logan finally came back from the restroom so he and Max left. Margaret and Zack were sitting when Zack finally piped up...

Zack: So what about that basketball game?

Margaret (smiling): Ya sure let's go.

      So they got up and left all the while Amber was watching them. Thinking //I'll show that bitch what it means to ever feel sorry you were born! // At that thought an evil grin started to form on her lips.
