“Hail, I used to believe in love, but it was ruined. It was just 5 weeks ago that I did believe.” I spoke slowly remembering where it all began
“What happened?” He asked staring in my eyes
“My now ex boyfriend, Erin. We were together for a year, and he got me pregnant.-
********flash back**********
I can’t believe I’m pregnant, I mean we were using protection and everything. I thought as I opened the wooden door to Erin’s room. I didn’t bother knocking or anything. It’s not like there is anything in there I haven’t seen before!
I took a step in closing the door. When I turned around I was shocked by what I saw, I didn’t even notice my car keys drop out of my hand. I gasped at the sight in front of me. My sister on his couch pinned down, by the father of my child, and his tongue was down her throat. Let’s just say it didn’t look like she was objecting to it!
After a few more moments of shock I used to only words I could even bring to my lips. “What the heck, Erin!” I yelled forcing them to pull away in surprise, they don’t even have the right to be shocked here!
“Jazzy, It’s not what it-“ He started before I cut him off near growling a “Save it.”
I pulled Gail off of him and pushed her into his room before focusing on the more important piece to this puzzle
“Jazz, I’m not sorry. I’ve been using you to get closer to Gail. Don’t get me wrong, you’re awesome, you’re pretty and smart, not to mention you have an amazing voice, but let’s face it. You are no Gail Moriarty.” He said
“So I was right when I first met you then? I love you doesn’t mean a thing anymore.” I shut my eyes tightly wishing when I opened them everything would be how it was before
“Yeah, It really does mean nothing. I love you can’t mean a thing because it doesn’t exist.”
I just muttered “Fuck you..” before storming out
As soon as I got to the stairs I heard my sister’s voice calling after me. I spun around giving her a look that was venomous. She had my keys in her hand.
“You won’t get anywhere with out these.” She gave me an evil smirk handing me the keys
“He is wrong you know, love does exist. You just haven’t met a guy stupid enough to fall for you.”She whispered giving me the keys
*******end of flashback*******
“Wait, so are you-“ Hail started
“No! there were….complications about a week before I came here. There was no way it could have hurt me so after they told me about the baby, I was sent home. Then my sister didn’t dare show up at my house until the day before, and when she did she barged in and raked threw my closet and told me I was coming here.” I informed him
“Wow.” He just stared at me with wide eyes
“I should go back now…” I said getting up and leaving and Hail didn’t object
That was like having a healing wound open again.
****a few minutes later in Oscar’s POV****
I heard Hail talking…to himself? I hid behind a table slightly curious as to what was going on. I feel like a secret agent…SECRET AGENT MAN! SECRET AGENT MAN! THEY’VE GIVEN YOU A NUMBER! AND TAKEN AWAY YOUR NAME!
Wait, focus Oscar! You can do it! I looked at Hail and saw he had a small blue cell phone against his ear.
“Danny, I know I shouldn’t have the phone, but it’s different!”
Pause
“Because I work here! Dan, just listen. I am telling you, I’m in love with Jazz. I would do anything to make her feel the same way at this point.”
Pause.
“No! I don’t want her staple gunned….unless that’s what it takes anyway.” I almost snorted
That’s really weird, but he gets cool points for using the term staple gunned…I fucking love that song!
Wait…He is in love with Jazz? Fuck.
