As I listened to the ringing of the phone without any answer I began to think this was going to be a huge mistake. I tried over and over again as I kept repeating "come on Jake pick up, pick up please." Just as I was about to give up and lose all hope, he answered.
"I'm so sorry I didn't hear the phone ringing. I was talking to someone."
"It's okay. Can I come over? I really need to talk to you."
"Ummm I don't know if this is a good time. I kinda have company over."
He was fucken joking right??? He had to be joking and trying to get me mad. There is no way he would reject me coming over because he had company. Just when I was about to tell him to stop messing around I heard a female voice say "Are you coming? I'm waiting for you."
"Clearly this was a mistake. I'm sorry to bother. Enjoy your company. I'll just go alone."
"Go? Where are you going?" He asked.
"Well someone has to save my sister and since you have "company" over, you can't do it so I don't want to waste my time. Goodbye Jake."
"Wait...wait...where are you now?"
"I'm close to Silas's house. I'll just see if he can help me."
"No wait, come over I'll be waiting for you."
"No it's okay thank you. I'll just figure it out."
"Madisyn! I said I'm waiting for you."
He must have been on Crack if he thought I was going to go over there now. Hell no there was no way!!! As I was about to go to ask Silas, I remembered my sister. This was no time to be hard-headed or stubborn, my sister needed my help so I just decided to put all my other feelings aside and go visit Jake.
After driving for another twenty minutes, I was finally there. Before I could even force myself to step a foot out of the car I took one last breath and kept thinking about my sister. I walked to his door and knocked and within a minute Jake opened the door as I stood there looking at him as if he had three heads and I had never seen him before. I was frozen.
"Come on in," he said.
I stepped a foot inside the house as he shut the door behind me. As I looked around I couldn't believe that this was the place he was staying. This place in no shape or form looked like a place a man would stay. It was way too clean, organized and smelled too nice.
"Sorry to bother you so unexpectedly but I didn't know who else to call."
"It's okay, come on and sit down."
As I sat down, I saw her come out of the room and go into the kitchen. This little bitch!!! What the fuck ughhh. Couldn't she at least have the damn audacity to put some pants on and not walk around in her underwear? God!!! I just wanted to walk right up to her and punch her so hard. As she walked by she looked at me with the ugliest attitude I had ever seen. What the hell was wrong with Jake?? What was he doing here with her? Had he completely lost his damn mind?
"Don't take too long I'll be waiting for you" she said as she went back to the room.
I looked at Jake as he looked back at me without saying anything. He knew damn well how beyond pissed I was right now. I couldn't believe him!!! Was this his way of getting back at me for what I had done? To just sleep with a random ass female??
"Madisyn, I..."
"Forget it Jake, I really don't care. I don't want to know. I just hope this isn't a way for you to try to get back at me because this is just way too low, especially for you."
