Chapter 2: Just another day without you
"Hey Els, I didn't know you lived here. I uh, thought this was a single bedroom apartment." Jimmy asked, giving Ellie a half-assed grin.
"Whatever Jimmy, I'm just over to, umm, watch a few movies, and eat, with Ash. But uh, she never said anything about you coming over, so bye now!" She begain to close the door, but Jimmy held it open.
"Come on Ellie, lemme in."
"Why in the hell would Ashley wanna talk to you?" Ellie folded her arms across her chest.
"I came to talk to her, I don't have to explain myself to you."
"I think you have to cause, from what Ash has said today, she REALLY doesn't wanna talk to you."
"You know what, she was my girlfriend before she even thought about becoming your poser!"
"Ashley is not a poser! And I think I highly recall never calling her a slut!"
"Yea, well," he pushed his way through and sat on their black leather couch. "I'm not leaving till I talk to Ashley!"
"Go home Jimmy, Ashley doesn't want you here!"
"Look Els, this isn't your home. so you can't tell me to go anywhere."
Just as he finished his sentence, Ashley came out of the bathroom with no shorts on, just a light blue night shirt. "Els, I just want you to know that I-" Ashley stopped when she saw Jimmy sitting on the couch. "What's he doing here?"
"Well, Els here told me to leave, but I, uh, told her it isn't her place to tell me where to go. So, I uh, stuck around and -"
"Go away Jimmy!" Ashley yelled at the top of her lungs. She didn't want to put up with his crap at home.
"Now, now, Ash...I was just going to ask you out...I know I haven't been the nicest guy latly to you, but I was hopeing that maybe you and I could, umm, go see a movie or-"
"Get out Jimmy!" Ellie yelled from behind, her eyes were shed with tears and her face was blood red.
It took Jimmy a minute, glancing back and forth between the two, then he said, "Oh, I see whats going on here...you two are a couple aren't you?" He stopped and smiled then continued, "I gotta tell Spinner this!"
"Jimmy!" Ashley cried out after him, watching him run out the door. Ellie walked over to Ashley, her own crying subsided, and now it was time to straighten up Ashley.
"Els," Ashley leaned onto Ellie's shoulder, "Ellie, what am i going to do?"
"Shh, sweetie, whats the worsest thing that could happen?"
As Ellie said that, Ashley was reminded of what Jimmy had said earlier. "Ellie, have to go. I have to go find Jimmy."
"But, Ash!" Ellie yelled as she saw Ashley go into the bathroom. When she got out, she hurried to the door, grabbed her coat and was out the door in no time.
Ellie sat down on the couch and cried.
