"So what do you want to do today?" Dodie asked me. It was a Saturday and Macy and she came over to my house to hang out. But I didn't want to hang out, I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to be alone.
"I don't know," I said. "I just planed on staying home today."
"But I'm so bored!" Dodie sighed loudly. "Can we just do something?"
"You can. But I'm just staying her." I laid back on my bed and took out a book.
Dodie sighed again annoyed. "Fine. Come on Macy, let's go to the mall or something." Dodie left the room. Macy was more hesitant to leave.
"Are you sure you don't want to come Ginger?" Macy asked.
"Yeah I'm sure," I responded turning the page. Macy shook her head and left too. I hated making them mad, but I really did want to be alone. I heard the phone ring. It rang four more times till I yelled at Mom to get it.
"Ging, it's for you!" Mom called.
I moaned and sandwiched my head between my pillow. I knew who it was. I didn't want to talk to Mitch. "Ginger, didn't you hear me? Answer the phone!" she called again.
"Yea I know Mom," I yelled back. "I'm getting it." I reached for the phone on my night stand. "Hello?" I heard our other phone click off.
"It's about time you answered," Mitch said.
"Yeah well, I was busy."
"I don't like that tone. Now apologize!"
I sighed. "I'm sorry. So what did you call for?"
"Just checking' in."
"Is that all?"
"Yeah that's all bitch. Oh and about our plans tonight," Mitch said, "I have to cancel. I just made other plans."
"What other plans?"
"I'm going to the movies with Stephanie."
"What?"
"You heard me. Look we're still together, but you are getting boring and I need something new. No offence girl, but Stephanie looks a lot better then you do."
"What?"
"Maybe if you fix yourself up a bit, I can take you out again."
"Maybe I don't want to go out," I said.
Mitch laughed. "Yeah sure, what ever bitch. But I'm still in charge and don't forget it. Stephanie means nothing to me. You're still my little rag doll."
I couldn't think of anything to say. I was hurt, that's pretty much it. I knew that our relation was going down the toilet, but still I wasn't really expecting this. "So I'll call you later?" Mitch asked.
"Um…yeah…call me later," I said. Then he hung up. I slowly set the phone back in place.
The next day Mitch came over. He made sure that I was the only one left in the house. "So Ginger how's it going?" he asked when I answered the door.
I jumped. I wasn't expecting him. "Oh hi. Nothing much how did it go with Stephanie?" I asked as if it was nothing.
"Fine, but I still missed you," he said caressing my face. "So want to do something?"
"Like what?"
Mitch laughed. "Ginger, Ginger, Ginger," he said shaking his head. "Poor sweet innocent Ginger. I'll give you a moment to think, and maybe it will come to you." I stopped to think, and it hit me by what he meant.
"No not that," I said. "Let's do something else." He had taken away everything else in my life and I wasn't going to let him take away my innocence.
"Come one Ging," Mitch said walking towards me. "Stephanie wasn't like this."
"Well I'm not some firkin' whore like Stephanie," I said taking a step back.
Mitch laughed again. "Ginger you must be scared. You dropped the F bomb. I've never heard you say that before. Let's just get it over with." He came closer and I automatically walked backwards. Soon my back was against the wall. Mitch had an evil grin on his face as he placed a hand on my shoulder. I closed my eyes tightly and tried to make it go away. Then I heard something swing open the door as it loudly hit the wall. For a moment time seemed to stop.
