"It's midnight"

I announced

And as I spoke

A soft ringing could be heard

Signaling that someone

Was calling her phone.

She checked the caller ID

And shook her head.

"It's blocked

But I know who it is."

"Put him on speaker"

I offered

And she picked up the call.

A static sound filled our ears

As a raspy voice sounded

On the other line.

"Jessa?

Jessa, baby, it's me.

I'm sorry for what I did

I understand how horrible it was

And I just want you back

I just need you here with me

And I know you won't

Give me a second chance

But please try

Please try for us?"

She let out a few

Shaky breaths

Before responding

To his pleas and cries.

"Brandon, I can't

All you've ever done

Was hurt me

I was like a song

That you rewrote

Into a twisted symphony

And you ruined me.

I can't go back

And I won't go back."

I mentally applauded her

For her bravery

And sent her a quick smile

That countered her hesitant one.

There was a long silence

From the other line.

"You're with him

Aren't you?"

Jessa's eyes widened

As did mine.

"With who?"

"Luke,

That pretty not

That you've been hooking up with.

God, you're nothing

But a slut

And a whore,

Aren't you?

Did I interrupt your hot sex?"

"What are you

Talking about?"

Her voice cracked

And I wrapped an arm

Around her shoulder

Trying to be comforting.

"You really get around

Don't you?"

He laughed humorlessly

And I motioned for Jessa

To stay silent.

"Listen here, prick.

Jessa has been nothing

But loyal to you

And you failed to see that.

She doesn't have sex with me

Or with anyone else

Because she isn't the same person

That you are.

She's made it quite obvious

That she doesn't want you back

So if you can process that thought

Through your tiny brain

It would be lovely.

Thank you,

And fuck off."

The words rolled off my tongue

Smoothly and sullenly

As I clicked the end button

And the line went dead.
