Chapter 18
Is this the end
After about 6 cups of Vodka, a cup of rum and 2 Kahulas' I was as drunk as I could get. Then Matt showed up.
"Jesse where are you?" He asked.
"In the bathroom is that you Matt?"
"Yeah, where's Kendra?"
"In here too!"
"Why are you both in the bathroom?"
"Bluuahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, bluuuuahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, bluuuuuuahhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
"Because she's throwing up and I'm holding her hair back for her!" Jesse replied.
"Really. That's nice of you Jesse. But why is she throwing up?"
"Wouldn't you be throwing up if you heard you're soon to be husband tell Jesse that he is going to ask that Lauren girl to marry him. Then you got drunk because of it? Bluuuahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." I asked.
"You let her get drunk? What we're you thinking Jesse?"
"What do you mean... Bluuahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. What was he thinking?"
"What were you thinking then?" Matt asked me.
"I was thinking that you don't control my life so I can get drunk if I want to!" I answered.
"Underage?"
"Yes under age." I said. "Thank you Jesse I think I'm done."
"Good because Amanda's gonna call us in a few minutes." He said as the phone rang.
"Hello?" Jesse answered.
"Hi, um.... it's Amanda. Is Matt there?"
"Um... yeah hold on."
"Hello?"
"Hey he's getting ready. Like he's walking down the hall to go wait outside so you might want to get her over here now!" She said.
"Ok do me a fav keep him inside for like a minute or two."
"Ok I'll do my best." She said.
"Just ask him questions."
"K bye."
"OK lets go. Can you walk over there on your own?"
"Yeah do I look blind?" I asked.
"No."
"Ok then let's go!" I said walking to the door.
"Ok go." Jesse said.
"I'm going." I said crossing the street.
"Ring the doorbell!" Matt whispered loudly. I rang the doorbell and Greg was right there.
"KENDRA. What are you doing here?"
"What do you mean what am I doing here? I was supposed to come here. Member we planned it."
"Umm nope I don't remember!"
"Kendra. I didn't think you'd come!" Amanda said running out to hug me.
"Hey!" I said.
"Kendra. I thought you were supposed to be here earlier today!" His mom said.
"Um... can you excuse us please." He said pushing Amanda back into the house and closing the door.
"Are you mad that I came here hunny?"
"No I'm really happy it's just that..." he said as a car pulled up.
"That what?" I asked kissing him.
"That I've missed you so much!" He said as a girl got out of the car.
"REALLY??? I'm so happy to hear you say that because this morning I thought you we're mad at me or something."
"Yes really and no I wasn't mad at you." He answered kissing me.
"Greg? Is that you?" someone asked from behind me. He stopped kissing me and looked up.
"What's wrong hunny?" I asked. He just glared at her.
"Um... Lauren! He what's up?"
"I don't know you tell me!" she said glaring at him.
"Who's this sweety?" I asked holding him close.
"Um... Kendra this is Lauren. Lauren this is Kendra."
"Step into the light hunny I can't really see you." I said.
"Kendra that may be a good thing. Just shake my hand and I'll be leaving."
"What do you mean? I want to see you're face."
"No you don't."
"What are you talking about?" I asked putting my left hand out to shake hers. Once she grabbed my hand to shake it I pulled her into the light. "Lauren Douglas?" I said and froze.
"I told you, you didn't want to see me." She said. "How do you know each other?"
"Um..." Greg said.
"I'm his fiancé." I answered.
"Greg I can't see you anymore. Not even as friends. I'm sorry I just can't." she said walking to her car.
"What is she talking about not even as friends?" I asked.
"I don't know. I'm just glad you're here hunny!" He said kissing me.
"Yeah sure you are."
"Lauren... wait! Don't leave please." I yelled chasing after her.
"Why not?" she asked turning around.
"Because." Said walking back over to Greg. "You can have him. I'm sick of it. I thought you we're trustworthy, you can't even tell me the truth! Amanda and Matt and Jesse had to do it for you." I said taking off my ring and handing it to him. "I don't want you anymore. I'll take your family and friends but not you." I said walking over to the tree that Matt and Jesse were behind. "Amanda come here. While you're not going out." I said pulling Jesse up. I kissed him. "Now you're going back out because Jesse loves you and just because I'm not with Greg doesn't mean I'm not with you hun. I'm always with you. Just call me when ever you want to talk!" I said putting their hands together. "And Matt come visit Jaimie soon. She misses you a lot, and I mean a lot. Oh and Jesse I'll need a place to crash tonight and a ride to the airport tomorrow morning."
"You can stay with me if you'd like. That way we can talk too." Lauren said.
"Yeah that'd be great! I just have to get my stuff from Jesse's house." I answered.
"Alright."
"Here Kendra I'll help you." Matt offered.
"Thanx but I got it. It's just one carry on bag. I knew I wasn't going to be staying for long." I said walking to Jesse's house and getting my bag.
"Dude what are you waiting for? Go chase after her!" Matt yelled.
"Kendra... Wait. I don't want you to leave." Greg said chasing me into Jesse's house. "Kendra please listen to me."
"I have nothing to say to you Greg."
"No but I have things to say to you. Now would you please sit down and listen to me?"
"Alright but you have 5 minutes."
"Kendra I love you. This was totally business. I have no clue what the others told you. Yes I called it a date when I was on the phone with Matt, but it was a business date nothing more. I would never cheat on you and I don't know how you could think I would."
"Maybe because you knew I was coming today because we'd had it planned ever sense you got home. But no you forgot. I had to have Jesse come get me at the airport because Greg forgot but I'm sure he'll be there when we get home. Sure enough you we're there."
"You were in the car when I was talking to Jesse?"
"YES! Ok now can I leave?"
"No."
"Why not."
"Because I'm not letting you leave because of one little misunderstanding." He said. Holding me down.
"Now what are you going to do?"
"Well let's see I have one of 2 choices. I could kiss you or I could nail you in the nuts!" I answered.
"You wouldn't dare!"
"Wanna make a bet?" I asked.
"Not really but if you have to make it fast." He said closing his eyes. Then I kissed him.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"Do you have to ask?"
"Yeah. I thought you were gonna nail me in the nuts."
"Nah I don't' have the guts to. I love you too much. But I'm still going to spend the night with Lauren and talk to her."
"How do you know her?"
"Long story. Too long to tell you right now! Therefore it's for me to know and you to find out. Here you can carry my stuff out for me!" I said walking out the door.
"So..." Lauren asked.
"I'll come spend the night with you but if I find out everythings ok I'll catch a cab back here." I said.
"Yeah and I'm that cab!" Jesse spoke up.
"Ok, ok you're the cab I'll call!" I said getting into Lauren's car.
"So what do want to know?" She asked.
"First I would like to know if this date you were going on with Greg was a business date?"
"Well to tell you the truth for him it was. But I wanted to make something more of it. But then I saw you standing with him, so I thought to myself 'I don't want to get in with her again.' So I approached you two and told Greg that I couldn't see him anymore."
"What kind of business was going on? I mean I'm not trying to be to noise but he never tells mew anything anymore."
"He was going to produce me! I had given him my demo tape, and he called me up. See his mom's friend knows my mom through work! She heard me sing and asked my mom to give her a demo tape and she played it for him over the phone and she gave me his address and I sent it to him. So he called me up and told me he'd like to meet with me while he was on tour. When I met him I liked him. I had no clue he was a singer til he sang to me. Then he said he'd like to produce me so he gave me his address and got me a room here and told me when to meet him."
"If what you say is true girl. Turn this car around and get us back there!" I said.
"But..." she started.
"But nothing." I answered. "You seem like you really want to sing and I have a boyfriend to apologize to. You don't know how badly he's been wanting to produce someone!" I interrupted her.
"Really? And he picked me! This is great. But are you sure it's not too late. I mean do you really think he'll still produce me? I mean with what I said to him earlier?"
"Hell yeah!" I said as she pulled into his driveway.
'Ring, ring' I rang the doorbell.
"Kendra? What are you doing here?" Amanda asked.
"Well Lauren and I talked and we need to talk to Greg."
"He locked himself in his room." She answered.
"Yeah and he won't come out." His mother answered.
"Amanda bring Lauren up to Greg's room but don't do anything. Just wait by the door." I said and ran outside. I climbed to his window, and stood on the balcony. "Greg!" I said tapping on the window.
"Go away Amanda. I said I don't want to talk to anyone." He moaned.
"Greg, it's Kendra!" I said.
"Amanda if I say it again I'm going to knock you out." He yelled.
"And if you knock her out you'll get it from my brother!" I said.
"Kendra!"
"Yeah stupid. That's what I said wasn't it?"
"Yeah." He said coming to the window. "What are you doing here and why?"
"Well I owe you an apology. I really didn't think it was a business date that you were going on with such a pretty girl like Lauren! But I talked to her and she told me what was going on. So um... She's waiting for you out in the hall." I said.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Oh and I was wondering... Do you have room for a guest in this messy room? Because I'm lookin for a place to spend the week. I don't think Lauren is going to want me for a roommate all week. Though that might be fun getting to know the girl that was really popular in my High School." I said.
"Yeah there's always room for you in this room." He said pulling me onto his bed. "You can sleep right here with me. But only if you take this back!"
"I would, but right now I have to do more thinking about that! So while you're out on you're business date with Lauren, I'll talk to Amanda and Jesse. Then when you come home I'll tell you my decision." I answered.
"Alright but hold on to this so nobody steals it again!" He said winking at me.
"Greg..." I started. "I love you!"
"I love you too. And right now I have a manger to go meet with, with Lauren. Wish us good luck. I hope I get this deal!" He said.
"Good luck." I said kissing him.
"Thanx hunny." He said kissing me back. "Ready to go?" He asked Lauren.
"Yeah I guess." She answered.
"Hey Lauren... Good luck. Go kick some ass!" I said.
"Thanx. Bye."
After about 6 cups of Vodka, a cup of rum and 2 Kahulas' I was as drunk as I could get. Then Matt showed up.
"Jesse where are you?" He asked.
"In the bathroom is that you Matt?"
"Yeah, where's Kendra?"
"In here too!"
"Why are you both in the bathroom?"
"Bluuahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, bluuuuahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, bluuuuuuahhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
"Because she's throwing up and I'm holding her hair back for her!" Jesse replied.
"Really. That's nice of you Jesse. But why is she throwing up?"
"Wouldn't you be throwing up if you heard you're soon to be husband tell Jesse that he is going to ask that Lauren girl to marry him. Then you got drunk because of it? Bluuuahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." I asked.
