The phone rang adruptly at Jenny's elbow. For the first time in
months Jenny didn't seem alarmed by the sudden burst of noise, for her mind
was still upon the single name written in the computer screen.
Jenny picked up the phone, still in a daze until a familiar voice rang in her ear.
"3 words...my place, doritos." Dee's assertive voice demanded.
"I dunno," Jenny started, but was cut off.
"You've practically trapped yourself in your house since..." her voice trailed off. "Well, I rented out some movies." She finished in a hopeful tone.
"I'm not trapped, I'm...I'm..." She couldn't finish. The truth hit her and she spoke again. "When should I come over?"
Chips and some good movies would take anyone's mind off of other issues in their screwed up world, and Jenny's mind was weary of the same subject which has haunted her feeble mind for countless days.
She relaxed with a bag of the cheesey morsals and a glass of sparkeling cider and was thankful to have such friends. To her right sprawled Dee, a well built and beautiful dark skinned girl who now had 2 bags of chips and a bottle of cider to herself. Next to her sat Audrey and Michael, and odd couple. One was dressed to perfection with flawless auburn hair and untouchable nails. The other was short and a bit chubby, but held an amusing and lovable personality. Tom of course was at her other side, gently stroking her hand as he payed absolutely no attention to the TV, but rather took to staring intently at her face. The only other two that aren't here are Summer and Zach, as far as the group was informed, they were off on a date somewhere. This wasn't too much of a surprise, since they were practically inseperable lately.
It didn't bother anyone too much that Zach wasn't there. When they'd watch movies, he'd dedicate his time to finding flaws in the art and graphics of the movie and state them loudly. Summer, somehow doesn't mind it.
Happy to have different things on her mind other than the usual, she watched the movie, occasionally leaning against Tom for comfort. Everything was the best it's been since...that time, Jenny thought just as the credits rolled onto the screen. She stared blankly at it, leaning into Tom's embrace until one the names caught her eye. As the name moved up the screen, that same name went by, but with a different last name, then another. Jenny didn't know Julian was such common of a name.
That old feeling of forboding came rushing back to her as another Julian appeared there.
The phone rang in the kitchen and Jenny lept in fright.
"Hey, Thorny...it's okay." Tom whispered in a soothing voice as he held her close, calming her as Dee sprinted towards the phone.
"It's for you, sunshine." She said, holding the phone out to her.
Jenny held the phone to her ear and Joey's voice spilled out.
"Jenny, I need you here...now." His voice demanded, but not quite like himself.
"Joey? What happened?" Jenny asked with desperate concern.
"Just get over her." He said just before Jenny heard a pop in her ear as he disconnected from the line.
