Summerdays….*Chapter 16*

“Shannon?!” “Yeah, Shannon” “What’s wrong hun?” “What’s wrong?! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?! I called the house ten times, I called your cell fifteen times, counting this call now!” “Oh crap! I forgot to call! I’m over Jared’s house and I’m sleeping over cause Jared wont let me get a cab to go home, he says it’s to late to go home with stranger’s” “Well, at lest someone in that house is thinking right!” “I’m sorry, should have called you when I found out I was sleeping over” “Yes you should have, nearly gave me a heart attack” “Sorry” “Whatever, well I know your safe now, did I wake you?” “Um, yeah but it’s ok” “sorry” “It’s ok, so how’s your sleepover with Tomo?” “Good, we’re watching movies right now, just thought I’d give one last call before I freak out all together” “I know, listen, I’ll make it up to you, how about lunch tomorrow?” “Can’t, got lunch with a friend that just got into town, haven’t seen him for a while so…” “Ok then, whenever good for you” “Fine, I’m gonna go since I woke you, goodnight” “Ok then, goodnight, I love you” “You too” and he hangs up. He’s pissed as hell, great. “What’s up?” comes Jared’s voice for under the cover’s. “Shannon” “Oh, what’s wrong?” “I forgot to call him and tell him I was sleeping over” “Ohhh, is he mad?” “Pissed is more of the word your looking for” Jared then gets up from under the covers, “Shit, well he knows your safe right?” “Yeah” “Well then what’s he pissed about, I would be happy as hell if I know you were ok” “Yeah well that’s what makes you and Shannon different I guess” “Yeah, guess your right” There’s silence for moment, then Gabbie throws herself back on the bed and takes a deep sigh. “Um, you and Shannon aren’t going so well, huh?” asks Jared looking at Gabbie’s face. “How did you guess?” “I know the signs, trust me” Gabbie laughs and says, “So how long do you give us?” “Oh don’t ask that! Sometimes it works out, ya know” “Whatever, all I know is that I’m really getting tired of his bullshit. Love him, but I’m getting tired now” “I know” Silence, then Jared says, trying to lighten the mood, “Do you want a hug?” “I would love one, need it right now” Jared slides over to Gabbie’s side of the bed and puts his arms around her and holds her tight. After a few minutes Jared suddenly feels tears falls on his shoulder and hears a soft sob. “Gabbie?” he says pulling her back a bit. Then Jared sees that she’s crying. “I’m sorry. Didn’t mean for that to happen” says Gabbie getting up from the bed. “Hey hey, come back here” Jared says pulling on her arm. “Ok, let me get a tissue first ok?” “Here, lay back down, I’ll get a box for you” Gabbie lays down and Jared goes into the closet and pulls put a box of tissues. “Here ya go” he says gives Gabbie the box. “Thanks, I’m really sorry about this” “It’s all right, just let it all out” Gabbie smiles and blows her nose. After a while she chills out, Jared puts the box on the nightstand and jumps back into bed. “You ok now?” “Yeah, I guess so. Can we keep hugging?” “Of course!” Gabbie then laughs at what she said, “Wow that was stupid” “No it wasn’t! Now come here” Gabbie slides over to Jared and they hug, and after a while Gabbie falls asleep in Jared’s arms.

In the morning:

“Gabbie? Gabbie wake up” Jared says softly to a sleeping Gabbie. “Got some pancakes made up for ya” Gabbie eyes open at once. “Home made?” “Yep” “Blueberry’s?” “Of course, wouldn’t make them without them” “Lets go!” Gabbie says jumping put if the bed and running downstairs. “Slow down or your gonna hurt yourself!” Jared yells running after her. He walks into the kitchen were Gabbie is already eating the pancakes. “Haven’t had these since god knows when!” says Gabbie as Jared walks in. “Are they good?” “ Their awesome!” “Want some coffee?” “Please!” Jared then put the coffee. “Sorry, didn’t know if you wanted any or not” “It’s ok, but you should know better” “Haha, I know” After a while Gabbie and Jared get done eating and clan the plates. “Guess you want to go home now?” “I guess so. Are you doing anything today?” “Nope, have to do something about the tour, but that’s like a hour or so” “Oh, so, you want to go somewhere with me….like I donno, somewhere” “Sure! Do you have time?” “All day, Shannon has a friend over so… and I need to pay you back for all you did for me last night” “Oh don’t start” “Yes I will start, you did a lot for me last night, I am not gonna let that go” “Oh fine, you want me to pick you up?” “Nah, I’ll come get you” “Ok! What time?” “Well what time is it now?” “Ten thirty” “How about one?” “Ok!” After a while of talking, Jared takes Gabbie home.

At Gabbie’s house:

“See you in a bit!” Jared calls to her as she walks to the house. “Ok, see ya!” Gabbie yells back to him. Gabbie then gets in the house. “Well welcome home” says Shannon as she walks in the door. “Hey” says Gabbie. “You still mad?” “Kinda, but I’m getting over it” “Oh good” “So how was your sleepover?” “Fine, yours?” “Fine as well now come here and give me a hug” Gabbie smiles and hugs him. “I’m sorry” Gabbie says. “No, I am, I shouldn’t have yelled at you” “Well then were both sorry” “Yeah” Gabbie puts her head up to Shannon and they kiss. Suddenly the house phone rings. “Oh who now?”
