Calling For Summer [GirlxGirl]

Chapter Seven

| Jade Summers |

"I can't believe you said that to her!" Finn yelled. This was weird, Finn almost never yelled. I expected David to say something, if anybody, but definitely not Finn. She was the quiet one; it seemed she never spoke up or argued.

"I'm not the one in the wrong here!" I argued, "She was the one who couldn't take a hint and leave me the fuck alone!"

"That's because she likes you, idiot! That's the kind of stuff you do when you like someone, Jade!" she shouted. "Besides, it's not like she did anything actually wrong. You're the one who messed up," Finn mumbled, as an afterthought.

I rolled my eyes. "What the fuck do you mean by that?"

Finn looked about ready to explode. "You are so fucking dense! All she was trying to do was be your friend, maybe a little more! And what did you do? You're the one who invited her to our band practice, and then called her pathetic and a bitch, and you told her you hated her!"

"Because I do! I figured why sugarcoat it when I can give her the cold, hard, truth!"

"Do you know how much that shit messes people up? If someone told me they hated me I would probably end up sobbing for hours!"

"She needed to hear it!" I tried uselessly, starting to realize Finn was right.

"Oh my god! Are you fucking kidding me right now?" she asked, her face practically going red from how angry she was.

Since I'm extremely prideful, I kept arguing because I didn't want Finn to know she was right. "She was being clingy! Everyone knows I hate that!"

"Jesus Christ, haven't you ever liked somebody?" she queried.

"You know I hate everyone!" I joked, trying to lighten the mood, but also to distract myself from my upcoming breakdown.

"Really, not the time Jade!" Finn raged.

At this point, I was about ready to fall on my knees and admit my obvious fault, but I didn't, because I'm an egotistical asshole, and I physically cannot admit I'm wrong. Yet I couldn't help but let a tear slip down my cheek. "Just please stop yelling at me!"

"Not until you get through your thick head that you're wrong!" Finn shouted, as for emphasis this time.

Now, I couldn't take it anymore. Gravity pulled me to to my knees, and I let my head carry its weight in my hands, just as I tried so hard not to do. I was wrong; so, so wrong. Never should I have said anything. This time, I realized, my "stone cold bitch" persona wasn't funny. I started crying against my will as I fell completely to ground.

Finn sighed as she knelt down beside me. "Listen Jade, I'm sorry I had to say that, but you weren't listening. You know how I get worked up about stuff like that. You know what I went through Freshman year, before you guys took me in. Knowing that you said something so horrible to someone so sweet and nice, it brought me back Jade, and I never want to go back."

This made me cry even more. I'm such an asshole. "I- I know, I'm so sorry Finn. I don't know what was going through my head. I don't think she'll ever forgive me, Finn."

"Well, why don't you find out?" she suggested, smiling dryly. Despite mentally scarring Finn, she still managed to keep this about Winter and I.

"O- okay, I'm gonna call her, I think," I wiped my cheeks and pushed myself up from the floor.

"I think you need to talk to her in person, Jay," she proposed.

I nodded. "You're right."

I picked up my phone, quickly dialing Winter's number. It only rung twice before she picked up. "Hello?

"Winter? Can we talk? Like in person?" my voice broke, and I'm sure Winter heard it through the phone.

"Yeah," her voice was raspy, like someone who'd just been crying.
