Chapter 1
If Everyone Cared
Laurie groggily opend her crusted eyes to the bright morning sunlight. Her chocalate colored curls lay in a scattered mess about her bed and face. sleepily she shoved a small hand through her tangled hair and winced when she hit a knot. Looking over at her clock she realized it was six'o'clock in the morning. Normally she would've already been up and about getting ready for school. But seeing as she had graduated a week ago she didn't have to get up at an ungodly hour every morning anymore.
Ring!
Laurie's head snapped up at the sound of her house phone ringing. She sat up and untangled her legs from her bed sheets quickly and jumped out of bed. Seeing as she had done this in a hurry, she hadn't properly untangled herself and ended up getting to know the ground very well with the side of her face. Kicking herself free, she managed to get up, run into the kitchen, and answer the phone before she hurt herself again.
"Hello?" She answered groggily.
"Vell good morning to you to sunshine." A deep male voice with a thick accent chuckled on the other end of the phone line.
What the hell? Laurie didn't know any guys with that deep of a voice. The only guys she knew were her stepfather, her little brother. and her gay best friend, Nathaniel.
"Who the fuck am I talking to?"
Laurie was not a morning person. She did not enjoy geting out of her nice warm cacoon of blankets, especially for a guy that she didn't even know, who probably had the wrong number.
"Someone needs their coffee. Anyvays, the guys and I are back in town and ve vanted to know if you vant to go clubbing with us tonight after da show. Vhat do you say? It'll be fun..."
Laurie was really starting to get pissed off. Couldn't the jackass take a hint and see that she obviously wasn't the person he was trying to get a hold of?
" Look Fruitcake, I don't know who the hell you're trying to get a hold of, but I'm not them. Now if you'll excuse me I've got to get ready for work."
"Vait vho is-"
Laurie hung up the phone and shook her head. Some people.
(German spoken at this point)
Georg looked down at his phone in shock. What the hell was that? WHO the hell was that was a better question. And that was when he started to laugh. It started out as a quiet giggle, then quickly turned into him gasping for air.
" Georg, what the hell is so funny this early in the fucking morning?"
Georg looked over and saw a sleepy eyed Bill standing in the doorway... in nothing but his boxers.
"It's nothing man go back to sleep. We all know how much you love your beauty sleep. Lord knows you need it."
Bill flipped him the bird before turning and disapearing back to his looked back down at his phone. What could one more call hurt?
(English spoken again)
Laurie jumped as the phone rang again. She walked out of her bathroom in a towel. Picking up the phone she rolled her eyes.
" Hello?"
" Hallo again. Vho is this and vhy do you treat me so meanly?"
Laurie looked in suprise at her phone. Fuck! Not this guy again. Wait a minute.
" What do you mean I treated you meanly?"
" Das exactly vhat I mean. You vere not nice to me earlier."
" Well can ya blame me? You call and wake me up, then start talking to me like you know me. What the hell am I suposed to do ya moron?"
Laurie was suprised when she heard him start to laugh. He was seriously starting to piss her off.
" Look jackass I gotta get ready for work. Don't call me again."
Just as she was about to hang up the phone he suprised her again,
" Vill you at least tell me your name?'
Contemplating it for a moment she made her choice,
" Only if you tell me your name first."
" I am Georg Listing."
" Okay... Georg. My name is Laurie Mobley. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go."
Hanging up the phone she shook her head again. Georg Listing. Interesting.
(German spoken again)
Georg looked down at his phone with interest. She was still a little bit rude, but hey it fun was talking to her.
" What is that smile all about?"
Georg jumped clean out of his seat. He hadn't even heard Gustav walk in.
" Don't do that to me."
" You haven't answered my question. What are you smiling for?"
Leave it to Gustav to notice the little things.
" It's nothing that you need to worry about."
" Tell me. I want to know."
Deciding that it was safe to tell Gustav about Laurie, Georg filled Gustav in on his entire conversations with her, including all the names she had called him. Gustav gave him a thoughtful look yhen said one word.
" Interesting."
