Chap7_Mysterious Caller
"Hey, who was that cute girl you were talking to back there?"
I close my eyes, trying to concentrate and then I remember her. I turn my head to Jake and say: "Her name's Kat, she's on my team."
Anna looks at Jake and says:
_You like her?
Jake just laughs nervously and takes a swing of his cold beer. We're sitting in our favorite bar, cheering my victory but we're not wasted, yet! I wanna tease him some more so I say:
_She's single, you know… I can always introduce you!
Jake rolls his eyes and Anna burst into laughter. We both look at her and then she notices us and says:
_What? I just… She's not his type!
She just shrugs and drinks her beer. Jake moves into his chair and then asks her:
_So what is my type exactly?
Oh oh! This is not going into a good direction. Jake thinks she likes him and gets his hopes up. I don't want him heartbroken. I hear Anna say while leaning into the bar's counter:
_Well… you like a girl who's funny and intelligent at the same time, sarcastic, and fun to be around…!
I see the look in Jake's eyes and I know he wants to make his move. I jump out of my chair and move to the pool table while mumbling something like "Pool! I'll be back…"
They didn't object, they didn't notice at all. I didn't expect this from Anna. She basically described herself as Jake's type. I stand by the pool table and focus on them. Jake's saying something and Anna's listening carefully. I jump with the sound of my own cell. The same number. I drink my beer in a breath and answer the phone while looking at my two best friends:
_What do you want?
Silence, as usual. What's with this person? The silence is actually calming my nerves. I smile looking at Jake leaning more to her. I hear my drunk voice:
_You know what? You're lucky I'm happy today!
I hop on the pool table and don't listen to the people's groans.
_Yep, I'm happy! I don't give a damn about who you are or what you want!
Jake finally kisses her and I clap uncontrollably but the phone hits the floor. I mutter a "shit" and jump to get my precious BB. I hear a laughter coming from the phone that was so familiar but before I could say anything I see Jake leaving the bar, alone. What the hell? I move to Anna, now she's taking shots. I sit next to her and ask:
_What happened?
She drinks her third shot and then answers:
_Nothing! Not a thing! Let's just get drunk and celebrate…
I have a bad feeling about Jake but I shrug it off and decide to have fun and not think about a crazy person who calls me and doesn't wanna talk.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Someone's trying to wake me up, I get that with all the lights rushing into the room and all the repeats of my name. I open one of my eyes and try to take a peek of the mean person. It's Jake. I close my eyes again and then repeat in my mind "it's Jake" Then I jump or try to jump cause I'm too hung over to do something like that. I hear him laugh and I groan. I'm at my place though I don't know how I got here. I hold my head in my hands, cursing Anna under my breath. Jake gives me an Aspirin and I tell myself I'm getting better. I remember what happened last night and I turn to him but before I can open my mouth he interrupts me:
_Don't wanna talk about it!
_Jesus! What's this I don't wanna talk about it shit?! Somebody tell me what happened?!
He lies on my bed and stares at ceiling. I roll my eyes and tell him I'm about to take a shower. I take my towel and enter the bathroom. The hot water feels amazing in the morning. After 15minutes of heaven in the shower I get out of the bathroom but Jake's not there. I wear my favorite top and shorts and go to the kitchen to find him there, cooking. Don't I have the best friends in the whole world?! I hug him from behind and he laughs quietly. I see he's making waffles and I clap my hands like a child in a candy shop. He shakes his head and I sit at the table. He starts:
_Sorry I left last night. I just… didn't wanna… Anyway, I thought I owe you a good breakfast!
_Make that 5 and you're forgiven!
We laugh and I ask him if Anna's here too but I see he's frowning so that can't mean something good.
_She's with Alex…
Ouch! I feel sorry for Jake. The girl he loves is with his brother. Probably in their house…
_Here you go!
He doesn't wanna talk about her so I drop it. We start eating together and I just can't help but eat one of his waffles too, they're just amazing! After an hour of talking he leaves for college. He still has another term to pass, while Anna and I graduated last month. I go to my room to pack my bags and crash at Anna's. My cell's ringing again and I can't find it. After a minute of searching I find it under my bed. I take it and see it's the mysterious caller. I decide not to pick it up but it keeps ringing, and me still having a headache doesn't help the situation at all. I get an idea and hold the phone near my speaker. I answer the phone and turn the volume up:
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you and I
And so this is goodbye
I sing with the chorus while stripping and getting into my jeans and coat. The weather outside is not that cold but I don't wanna get sick.
Give me something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in you,
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah…
The song ends and I turn off the speakers. I move the phone closer to my ear and I hear chuckles I wanted to forget. It can't be him, right? That son of a bitch! I end the call and shove my phone in my pocket. I can't think about him, not anymore… I have to forget him, I need to forget him. In a second I get my cell again and call the number. My hand's shaking a little but I ignore it. After ringing four times, someone picks up but doesn't talk. I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. I can imagine him standing in his room, holding the phone and closing his eyes. We just keep the silence, neither of us talks. I realize I seem pathetic, that's when I hang up and head out to Anna' place, trying to hold back the tears…
Liked it? leave a review behind lovelies!
