Chapter 2 Oh I Just Bet

I laid there for only a minute before I decided that he was not worth my tears if he thought so little of me to cheat on me. I got up walked over to my dresser, picked up his ring and went back out to the living room. Bill was still at the door banging on it trying to get me to open up acting like he had no idea why I slammed it in his face.

"Sookie you really don't have to talk to him right now if you don't want to. We will send him away if you." Amelia offered from her perch on the sofa.

"No I want this over. I should not be wasting my time crying over someone who values me so little." I said in a determined voice striding over to the door.

"Sweetheart why did you slam the door? And why has your phone been off? I have been so worried about you." Bill said trying to take a step into the apartment.

"Oh I just bet you were earlier today when you were screwing Lorena. You know what I really don't give a shit about what has worried you today. I was so blind to think that you actually loved me. I am so glad that I found out about this before I actually married you. Here is you ring I don't want it and I sure as hell don't want you. Leave me the fuck alone." I pushed him back and threw his ring at him. I tried to push the door shut but he put his foot in the door.

"Sookie please. It is not what you think. She really doesn't mean anything to me. You are the most important person to me please just hear me out. This is really not like you your just drunk and upset. You aren't acting like the lady I know you to be. Please Sookie pleases." He beseeched pushing back on the door.

"Really it's not cause I have a voice mail that says otherwise. I don't care what you have to say as far as I am concerned this is done. I am a lady you dick and you bet your ass I am upset. I have wasted almost four years of my life with someone who is a fucking hypocrite. How long have you been sleeping around behind my back?" I yell at him crossing my arms over my chest.

"What do you mean voicemail? Sookie you don't understand I have needs. Please sweetheart I will do anything. Just don't say this is over. Forgive me I can't lose you. I will never do it again." His skin palled as he tried to touch me again.

"You don't get to call me that anymore and there is nothing that you could say or do to change my mind. If by some miracle I ever decide that I can forgive you it will be a long time from now. I don't give a shit what kind of needs you have. I have needs too, I need someone in my life that respects me and loves me enough not to cheat on me. Oh and just so you know you butt dialed me while fucking her. I am done, get out and don't call me. If you are still here in five minutes I am calling the cops." This time I got him out of the door and got it shut. He continued to pound on the door and call out my name. I locked the door and took a deep breath. Amelia and Pam had been surprisingly quiet through all of that.

"That was awesome Sookie. You cut off his balls and shoved them down his throat." Amelia squealed at me coming over to give me a hug.

"I am proud of you Sookie. Now that you have dealt with the worm I think we need to get back to drinking cause I think we need to celebrate your new freedom." Pam announced pouring more shots of vodka. This was our second bottle of the night. Thankfully Bill left before I could fulfill my threat of calling the cops. At ten forty Jessica came home and joined in on our party. We kept at it till one thirty when Jessica said she needed to go to sleep. Pam and Amelia inflated the air mattress that Pam had brought with her. I said good night and took my phone with me to bed. Shortly after Jess had gotten back we played the message so she could hear it too and then proceeded to delete Bill from my life. He had left a grand total of 37 voicemails and 19 texts that got progressively more panicked and desperate. I did keep his number but only because I knew that he would still be trying to call me no matter what I told him earlier. We spent a while figuring out a new ring tone for him. I ended up picking Before He Cheats. I would have loved to take a knife to his car but I know that it wouldn't change a thing.

I drank a huge glass of water and took some aspirin before heading off to bed. I went to sleep thinking about how much my life had changed in one day. I did not look forward to telling Daddy or Jason about what happened but I know that would have to soon. Granted I think that it would be fun to see what they would do to him. I mean that they threatened him with in an inch of his life when we first go together. If I remember right Jason said something about hunting and accidents.

This is one of the times that I wish my mama was still alive. She died when I was born. She had severe complications at the end of her pregnancy and during labor. Daddy was told that it was likely that both of us would not make it. The doctors tried to save her but she was not strong enough at the end. Jason was so little that he barely remembers her. Sometimes Daddy gets real sad if we ask about her but he has never blamed me for her dying. He told me once that he loved her dearly but she had loved me too and would have wanted me to have a chance at life if given the choice between the two of us. He was also grateful that he did not have to burry both of us.

I did have Gran and she was the best grandmother I could ask for. I was not sure what Gran would think about this whole situation. She was never really a fan of Bill's. She had told me on more than one occasion that there was something about him that she did not trust. I kind of wish I would have listened to her but then again I was so convinced that I knew better. The more I thought about it the more I realized that there were huge warning signs about his character when I first met him. I think I was more in love with the idea of him then him himself. I guess that I am glad that I didn't marry him and find out about his infidelity like my cousin Hadley did. She had been married for about year and a half and was pregnant with Hunter when she came home to see Remy with another woman in their bed. They got divorced before Hunter was even born. I only want to get married once. I also don't want to put a child through something like that. I know that I am going to be dame sure about any other man in my life before I agree to marry him. I woke up the next morning to someone banging on my front door. I got up pulled on a hoodie and went to answer the door. I looked at the clock it was nine twenty six in the morning. Jess would have left for class about half an hour ago. Pam and Amelia were tangled up on their air matters covered in a blanket with what appeared to be most of their clothing on the floor around them. Normally I would have been peeved that they went at it like rabbits in my living room but I didn't care too much this morning. I checked to make sure they were well covered before I answered the door. Not wanting to be surprised by who was at the door I looked through the peep hole. Pam's brother Eric was at the door wearing a very nice suit in slate gray with a blue tie that made his eyes pop.

"Morning Eric." I said opening the door and letting him in.

"Hey Sookie, I am surprised you are not more hung over after drink two bottles of my good vodka." He said taking off his shoes.

"To tell you the truth so am I but I think that they might be." I pointed at Amelia and Pam walking to the kitchen to start my tea kettle. Normally I would have made coffee but I wasn't in the mood.

"Do you care if I wake them up? I got a call this morning that Pam missed her first class during my meeting. Her professor was alarmed that it was not like her to miss class and not say something. He called me, our parents, her advisor and Amelia trying to find her. We tried Pam too but her phone was off. Mother was distraught and demanded that I go look for her. I have been driving around looking for her for about an hour." He said sliding on to the bar stool at the breakfast bar. The main living area of my apartment had a huge great room area that combined the living room with the dining area and kitchen. The kitchen had oak cabinets in a dark stain with stainless steel appliances. The walls were painted a light blue and the counter tops were marble. We did have a place for a dining table but it was rather small and we tended to just pile stuff on it. Most of the time, we ate at the breakfast bar or in the living room on the sofa. I know that we would not have had such a nice apartment if it was not for our dads. They came with us when we were looking and decided that they would pay for a nice one so that we did not have to live in one of the crappy apartments around town. Also there was the fact that it was Daddy's company that had built the complex anyway.

"No go ahead. Would you like something to drink?" I asked digging in the utensil crock for my tea ball. I set it next to my tea pot. I am kind of a purest when it comes to my caffeine. I don't use tea bags or pre-ground coffee. It is one of the things that I picked up from my Gran. She always says that if you are going to go to the trouble of making either then you should do it the right way. Gran gave me my tea pot on my 18th birthday. It was one she had gotten from her mother when she got married. It was a six cup bone china tea pot with a series of dark purple pansies on it. I had the complete tea service for six but I did not use them very often.

"I will take a cup of that tea once it's done if you don't mind." He said looking at my left hand but not making a comment.

"Sure, are you hungry at all I am just about to make breakfast?" I inquired going to my fridge.

"No don't put yourself out. I think it is time Pam got up." Retreating over to where his sister was intertwined with her girlfriend. I probably should have felt bad for them but they were the ones that were nude in my living room. He bent down right next to her ear.

"PAMELA MARIE RAVENSCROFT!" He bellowed. That was one of the things that I found interesting about their family. Pam had taken their mother's maiden name when she was old enough. Their parents had been divorced since Pam was three and Eric was seven. They had both gotten remarried and had more children. Pam and Eric have twin half-brothers named Jacob and Johann and a little half-sister named Dani Lynn. Jacob and Johann were going to turn 19 in November and Dani Lynn was 8. The boys and Eric had their fathers last name Northman and Dani Lynn was a Ravenscroft like Pam. Eric was hit in the face with a pillow by Amelia who also swore and rolled over.

"It is too early and that was way too loud Eric." She groaned reaching for her shirt.

"Too bad you had Mother and everyone else in the world wondering where you were this morning. I got a call from your professor when you missed your 6:30 class. Not to mention the fact that you stole two bottles of my good vodka. You need to be more responsible and tell people when you are going to miss class or at the very least have you phone on so when you are called people know that you are alive." He lectured her taking a seat on my club chair.

"First of all I emailed all of my professors last night that I was going to miss class today so if she did not get it that is her fault. And second you don't drink the vodka anyway you always buy it for me. Third my phone died and I did not have my charger with me." She sassed right back at him leaning over Amelia to get her jeans.

"That is not the point but whatever. Call mother she has been driving me nuts. Why did you need deplete my stores of alcohol last night?" Eric he probed shaking his head.

"I will and we were cheering Sookie up and celebrating the end of disastrous relationship." She answered heading to the bathroom.

"Why did you need cheering up?" Eric asked turning his attention to me.

"I ended things with Bill." I said getting up to deal with my whistling tea kettle. He followed me to the kitchen.

"What did he do?" Eric got down two cups for us from the cabinets.

"He butt dialed me when he was having sex with someone else. I was really upset about it but I am not going to waste my time thinking about what could have been with someone who did not value me enough to be faithful." I poured the hot water into the tea pot and placed in the tea ball full of my favorite Assam Breakfast tea. I put it in to steep and started my timer.

"Well if I you were my fiancé I would have never treated you like that." He said moving a piece of hair from my face.

"Eric back off, she just got out of long term relationship with a weasel. She needs to have fun for a while." Pam said coming into the kitchen.

"I was just being nice. Anyway I need to get going back to work soon and you need to call mother." He walked out of the kitchen and towards his shoes.

"Do you still want some tea it is almost done? I could put it in a to-go mug for you if you wanted." I said looking at my timer.

"Sure I am just going to go make a call. Could you put some milk and sugar in it for me?" He motioned to the door. I nodded my head and got out one of our huge collection of to-go mugs.

"Sookie I am serious my brother is not who you want for a rebound. He is a great guy but you need to see what else is out there." Pam implored me.

"Who said that I wanted to do anything with Eric? I think I just want to be single for a while anyway." I said fixing Eric's tea. He came back out, thanked me for the tea and left.

AN #2: I have decided that I want Sookie to a date or two with someone sadly other than Eric. As such I am putting up a poll on my profile page for you to help me pick who she goes out with. You may have been able to tell but I really hate Bill. I never much liked him in the books and sure don't like him in the television show. Anyway I always thought that some of the other love interests in the books never really had a chance. Please go and vote for Sookie's date you can pick up to three choices.
