A/N: Hello, folks! Long time, no see! I didn't think I'd be updating tonight, but I changed my mind. I hope everyone's Christmas was good! Mine was! I didn't think I'd be seeing you all again, until next year! XD (Though, after this chapter, you won't see me, until next year. Lol.) Well, hopefully, I don't cause too many plot holes with this chapter (because of what I said two chapters ago, about forgetting some of Marv's memories)! So, let's take a risk, and go! XD
Chapter 11: Difficult Decisions III
Marv's PoV:
I glance over at the phone, as it rings. A pit forms in my stomach, because I know it's Kate, calling. My worst fear comes true, when Harry backs up, stepping down the stairs. He has a curious look on his face. I don't know if he's wondering who's calling. I don't think it's any mystery to either of us.
"Who is it?" he asks, gesturing his head to the phone, despite being all the way on the staircase.
Feeling nervous, I step over to the phone to read the call display. Sure enough, it reads "Katelyn McCallister", with her number underneath.
"Uh…"
"It's Kate, isn't it?" I know Harry isn't too pleased. He knows I don't want to answer him. "It's Kate, isn't it?" he becomes more firm.
"Yes…" I feel like vomiting. I'm nervous as to what Harry's going to think.
"Well, tell her to stop calling you. You told her you couldn't see each other, anymore, right?"
"I can't be rude, Harry,"
"You don't wanna be rude? Fine, then. I'll be rude for you!" Harry storms down the stairs. This is what I don't like: Harry's anger.
"No, wait! Harry, don't!" I protest, by the time Harry reaches where I am. I place my hands out, trying to keep him away from the phone, but it's too late—he's already picked up the phone. I give up trying to fight the man, and just facepalm. (Lol. Pre-culture terms.)
"What?" Since I can't hear what's happening on the opposite end, I worry what Kate's going to say. "No, he's not here, Kate. And, please, you need to stop calling him. I'm concerned for you and your husband's marriage, here. You see what I'm saying? Now, please stop calling here," He hangs up, and I look at the phone, baffled. I don't like the way it went, but it could've been a lot worse. "What?" Harry asks me.
"Nothing. It's just…"
"What? You're surprised with the way it went?"
"Well, to be honest…" I hesitate, still looking down at the phone. "I expected you to lay into her more,"
"Yeah, well, I'm not that much of an asshole, am I?" Harry starts walking away.
"Well, no, but…" I look back up at him.
"But, nothing," Harry turns around, pointing a warning finger at me. "If she calls here again, you need to break it off with her, OK?"
"Fine…" I sigh, rolling my eyes. I don't think the man knows what else to say, because he continues to leave the room, to head upstairs…
To be Continued…
…
A/N: Thanks again, folks! I'm sorry it's not very long, but I think it's better than nothing, right? XD I guess I didn't have to worry about causing any plot holes in this chapter! Marv and Kate somehow stay connected, so how will they do that (obviously, they do, because of Kevin)? We'll have to see! I'm not sure when I'll be updating again, but stay tuned for more! Who knows how long after Christmas this will go on for? Take care! XD
