Chapter 7

My ex gives a call

Violet's POV

I was starting to wash up the dishes when the phone rang. Oh no, it's Ella, I thought. I let it ring three times, hoping it'll stop, but I rushed in and answered the phone anyways.

"Hello? Buffen residents, this is Violet speaking," I said.

"Violet!" exclaimed a too familiar voice. Now I it was Ella who called.

"Jack..."

"You remember me still! Listen, baby, I'm sorry how things ended up. Please come back, please?" Jack asked.

"How did you get my number?"

"Ella. I still had her number and I called her. I've been so alone without you, babe. I need you. I didn't mean to-"

"I've met someone else," I whispered into the phone.

"Wha- Violet! We were ment for each other! Who is this git?  Where is he. I'll show him who you love!" Jack's voice boomed out.

"No, no, no," I said frantically. "Don't hurt him. And besides, we're through! I don't love anyone at the moment and since when do you care about me? Ever since you kicked me out of your house...I'm hanging up."

"Baby, please! It was just a little fight. It didn't mean anythin-"

I hung up. Please don't let Ella tell him who we saw recently, I pleaded. Ella! I was too mad to dial her number, but I might as well get it over with. I dialed and it rang until she spoke.

"Ello?"

"Ella!" I hissed. "Jack just gave me a call, saying he wanted me back and he said you gave him my phone number. You knew what he did to me!"

"Jack? I never gave him your number, I swear! Besides he is kinda a stalker like person. He gives me the creeps. Anyways, where were you?" Ella questioned.

"Huh?"

"You said you went out? Where?"

"Uhhh, I-I-I went, uh, to take a walk. And I ate dinner with my new neighbors. Sorry, Ella. And I'm busy Thursday, how 'bout tomorrow?" I asked.

There was a long pause.

"Fine. So what are you doing Thursd-"

Yep, I hung up again. I groaned and flopped on my couch. Stupid Jack! I dragged my lazy butt up and went straight to bed, to tired to even think about anything....anything but John.
