Army Girl

He Cares

He said, “You look beautiful tonight.” “Why thank you. You look very handsome.” “Thank you. Do you want to dance with me?” “Sure. But there it no music.” Jared pressed a button and then Mortician’s Daughter came on. I smiled and he took my hand and we started to dance. He spun me around and geld me close and when the song ended. I was smiling. I couldn’t help it. I really liked Jared. Brighton was just a fling. I now am in-between Andy and Jared. Andy is really sweet, nice, handsome, funny, and talented but has a girlfriend. Jared is kind and romantic and is funny but lives far away. I just don’t know. I would never purposely break up Andy and Juliet just so I could have them but I just don’t know about Jared. I might as well see what tonight brings. We danced for a few more songs and we talked. I was getting tired. Once we stopped dancing and he kissed me. I didn’t feel much. I didn’t feel fireworks or bombs going off when I kissed him. I feel I should. I didm’t worry about it at the moment. After we broke the kiss I said I was tired and Jared lifted me up and put me on my bed. He got in with me and we snuggled. The next morning I woke up and got a shower and remembers that it was Christmas. Jared was gone but left me a note saying he was sorry. I didn’t really care. I knew my choice was clear now. I wanted Andy. Maybe if I ever get the chance to kiss him it will be magic or fireworks. I sighed and made myself some breakfast and then Andy called me and said, “Come over and spend Christmas with us.” I heard someone in the background say no. I knew it was Juliet. She never really liked me. I think she thinks I’m competition. I then said, “No Andy I can’t. I don’t want to intrude on you and Juliet. It’s your Christmas and I don’t want to be rude.” “You aren’t being rude. I invited you.” “I-I know. I would feel weird being there. I’m fine though. I’ll see you soon. Have a Merry Christmas! Bye.” I said. He said, “Okay…. Uh bye.” I then hung up. I ate my breakfast and then got on some warm clothes and went on a walk. I sat in the park for a little bit and then I went to go get some hot chocolate. I was walking to the little bakery near my apartment and I got hot chocolate and some christmas sweets. I thanked them, paid, then went to the guys houses and dropped the sweets off. I went to Andy’s first and I knocked on the door and he was in his Batman pajama pants and a tank top. I smiled and said hello. He then said, “I thought you weren’t coming?” “I’m not staying. I just wanted to drop a little sweet for you guys.” “Oh thank you. But you didn’t have to.” “I wanted to.” “Thank you. Um you can come in.” “Thanks.” I went into their kitchen and put the small dessert in the fridge and said Merry Christmas to them and then left.” I drove to Vic’s house and was lucky that they were all together and I gave them their things. I then went to my band mates houses and dropped off the sweets. I then went to the hospital and visited all of the cancer patients. I brought my guitar with me and played some songs for them. I hung out and talked to everyone. Mainly the older ones. it was fun. Around lunch time I left and went home. I made myself some pizza. It was a chicken bacon cheese pizza. I ate most of it then packed it up and put it in the fridge. I then got a call from my parents saying that they were home safe and that they hoped I was doing okay. I didn’t answer so they left a message. I decided to go and record some songs in the studio. I left with my guitar, flash drive, and keys. I went into Fearless Records and went to the main floor recording studio. I went into the room and got my computer and hooked it up to the recording booth but it was in the room with me. I pressed record and started playing some of my new songs. I edited them and played a few more on guitar and then went to the piano. I was done in an hour and then  played a few freestyle songs. The all of a sudden i started playing Mortician’s Daughter. I don’t know why but I’ve been obsessed with that song lately. I then saved it all on my flash drive. I then locked up and left. I went home and it was around 3pm. I watched some movies and ate some sweets, hot chocolate, and popcorn. There was then a knock at my door. It was about 7:30pm and I wasn’t expecting anybody. I got up checked my peep hole. I didn’t see anyone. I dismissed it. I checked the peep hole again and saw something. I opened the door a little bit and said, “How can I help you?” “Hello Ms.Hunter. We wanted to inform you that your father is in the hospital.” “Is he okay?” “He was shot in action miss. I’m sorry.” “Okay. Thank you.” I shut the door and I needed some one here with me. I called the first person on my recent calls list and that happened to be Andy. I called him and I was crying and not making any sense. He said he’d be over right away. I hung up and sat on my floor and cried. Andy got here fast and Juliet was with him and when I saw him I hugged him. I was balling my eyes out and he led me over to the couch. I sat down and I finally calmed down enough to say, “M-m-mmy f-f-f-father 

w-wwas s-s-s-s-s-shot i-i-in b-b-battle.” Andy hugged me and I said, “I’m s-s-sorry t-t-to b-bother you g-g-guys. Y-y-you w-w-were j-just m-mmy l-l-last c-c-called. I j-just c-clicked t-that.” “No it’s okay hun. I get that this is hard for you.” “Same. I remember when my dad died.” “My d-dad is n-not d-d-dead y-yet.” I said a little more defensively. Andy went to go get some food. I was left alone with Juliet. She then said just as Andy walked out the door, “You just want to get closer to Andy.” “N-no I just t-think h-he’s a g-good friend.” “Sure….” She said in disbelief. “Listen. I don’t like you hanging out with him or talking with him. I don’t care if your dad is dying or dead. I want you to stay away from Andy. I don’t want your whore germs on him.” “Excuse me b-but I’m not a w-whore for one and I’ve never had sex let alone a real boyfriend. You I can’t say the same for.” “What. Ever. You are a bitch and a slut. You are fat and ugly. You are a whale!” “I don’t care what you say. I know what I am and it is not those things. My dad is possibly dying and you are harassing me on your love life. Andy loves you. Why can’t you see that. If you weren’t so insecure yourself then you wouldn’t push every girl Andy meets out of his life. And you wouldn’t be so bitchy. I have done nothing to you or him for that matter. I am just a friendly person and you are mean. I care about Andy but as a friend. Yes he is cute but I have other things I need to do right now and our ages are off by a couple years. Juliet… Do you know how lucky you are? You have one of the most kind, funny, loving, romantic, faithful, trusting, handsome, talented men in the world. I wish I had someone like Andy but that will never happen. Just know you are very lucky. I don’t see why you are reprimanding me because were are friends. He’s your boyfriend. Okay. Chill. I’m not going to try to do anything to jeopardize your relationship. I’m not that girl. If you knew who you had you wouldn’t be so jealous of every single girl he meets. Just remember that.” “I didn’t heard a word you said. You are still a bitch and a big fat ugly whale. Just remember that.” “I’m going to ask you to leave.” “I’d be happy to leave this dump. You are a disgusting pig. Bye.” Juliet said meanly. I was so done with her. Andy came in and asked where she was and I said at your home. I told him I was fine and that he could go home. He didn’t believe me. He said, “What’s wrong. I know you’re not fine.” “I don’t know if you’ll believe me of not but Juliet is not as nice as she seems. She was really mean to me and called me some names and was telling me to stay away from you.” “What did se say?” “She said that I was just trying to get closer with you and then to stay away from you and not to talk to you. Then to not get my whore germs on you and I’m not a whore. then she said waterer and that I was a bitch and a slut and fat and ugly and a whale. Then I said how lucky she was to have you an that I would never try to break two people up and then she said that I was still a bitch and a big fat ugly whale and then I told her in a clam voice to get out and she said she’d be happy to get out of my dump of a home and that I was a a disgusting pig.” “Wow. I don’t know if I can believe she said that.” “I know but have I ever lied to you?” “No you haven’t. But she has numerous times.” “Listen. I’m sorry. I just tell the truth and I don’t mean to be the person who breaks you two up.” “No it would be my decision.” “Okay.” I gave him a small smile. He smiled back and hugged me and whispered in my ear, “Thank you.”
