Jasey was there in less than five minutes, something I found to be incredibly impressive. She all but bowled me over when I answered the door.
"Okay, so what happened?!" She barely threw her coat off and dragged me to the couch. "Spill."
I caught my breath, then began. "Okay...so...you remember Sean?"
Jasey cringed slightly. "Yeah. Unfortunately..."
"Well..." I swallowed. "He contacted me yesterday..." My mouth was dry. I knew how Jasey felt about Sean...He'd broken my heart no less than four times, and she was always the one picking up the pieces...
"Oh god...gag me with a spork. A very sharp spork...." She twirled a loose strand of hair while she spoke, teeth mid-clench. "What the hell did he want?"
"He wanted to get some drinks..."
"No. You didn't..." She looked at me incredulously. "Sophie! You're engaged!"
"No, I didn't! I...Okay...well, I did, but..."
"Sophie!"
"I know, I know! Okay...I just..." I put my head in my hands and took a deep breath. "He never showed anyway, so it doesn't matter..."
"Sounds about like him...asshole..." She licked the roof of her mouth as if she tasted something rotten.
"Yeah...but then..." I shuddered as I remember the feeling of being watched. She noticed and sat down next to me. I told her the rest of the story, in full detail, ending with making the guys breakfast and sending them out the door.
"And then I called you," I finished, shaking slightly.
"Sophie...D'you think it's Sean?"
I swallowed hard. That was my first impression, but I didn't know...
"I...I don't know...that was a thought..."
"That's really creepy." She let out a sigh. "You shouldn't have replied, Soph..."
"Yeah, yeah, I know..."
"Does Patrick know about him?"
"He does now..." I bit my lip, and Jasey nodded.
"You don't still feel anything for him do you? Sean, I mean..."
"I-" Just then, a car pulled up in the driveway. No sooner had I let out a sigh of relief, then the boys came tromping in the door.
"Hey Sophie, we- Oh, hey Jasey!" Pete dropped his coat on the floor next to her's and dashed over to kiss her. She giggled when he put his lips on her neck. Patrick looked on shyly from the doorway, spotted me, then made his way over.
"So, how was it, love?" He pulled me into a hug.
"Nothing exciting, really. Probably a good thing you didn't come. Good to see you weren't lonely, though..." He looked over at Jasey and Pete who were now making out on the couch.
"You know, I sort of like their style," I whispered seductively. Patrick kissed me softly on the lips, then picked me up and carried me into the bedroom.
Come what may...
About an hour later, Patrick and I were laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
"So...this Sean guy..."
"What about him?" I rolled onto my side to face Patrick.
"What exactly happened with you guys?"
I sighed. "Ugh...Long story."
"We've got time."
"True..." I inhaled sharply. "So...my freshman year of high school, he was a senior. In band, played the bari sax. I fell head over heels for him within the first month. Why is beyond me...he was kind of an asshole...And not particularly good looking...Meh. Anyway...At the end of the year, we started talking a bit more, admitted that we liked each other, and then we sort of dated...not really...He was going to ask me out after I got back from band camp that summer, but then called me the last night of camp to tell me that he'd asked out some other girl and she'd said yes..." Patrick pulled me close to him. "Let's just say it was like that a lot...On, off, on, off...A ton of BS. We officially 'dated' once, but we were 'together' about six times...I kept taking him back..." My eyes teared up slightly, and Patrick kissed me on the top of the head.
"Shh, shh..." I could tell it upset him slightly. Understandably...I mean, we were engaged, after all...And here I was going to meet an ex that I couldn't get over for drinks...
"So what about now?" He pulled away from me and looked me in the eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"How do you feel about him now?" There was pleading in his eyes. I couldn't look.
"I-I..." I choked back tears again. "Patrick...I love you. I always will."
"I know, baby...I'm not worried about that..." Liar.
"Patrick-"
"Let's go out for lunch. Eh?"
"Wha- er...sure...I guess..."
He got out of bed a little too quickly and headed out the door. I threw on a sweater and followed him. Pete and Jasey hopped up off the couch, accepting Patrick's invitation. There was a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Why did stupid Sean have to ruin everything?
Mmkay, so there's that, haha. Sorry it took so long, and sorry it's so short...I have a bit more time now, so I'll be back to updating. Musical's over! Yay! And ugh. At the same time...Bittersweet. It was fun. Loads...I'm going to miss it. And I got me a prom date! Yay! I'm taking FDR, lmao. Actually, his name is Danny...but he played FDR in Annie. Tee hee. Yeah...So I'm going shopping for a dress with mi madre today. Woot.
