Ch. 19-- Helpful as a Bunny, Sorry as a Bonnie. Pt.2/2

(A/N Apparently this didn't publish the first time--WHY DIDN'T Y'ALL TELL ME?! Anyway, here.)

Rowan's P.O.V

Today while I was sulking in the kitchen, stuffing my face with chocolate, I got a call from an unknown number. I thought it might be Corey calling from another line but I answered it anyway.

"What?" I barked into the phone.

"Uh, H-hi. This is Bonnie, BEFORE YOU HANG UP!" She yelled right as I was about to hit 'end call.'

"Why'd you call me? I don't want to talk to talk to the girl my boyfriend cheated on me with." I spat.

"Look, I'm sorry Ok, I just liked him and wanted him to like me. He doesn't though, he loves you and he's not doing OK without you, he's dying on the inside. I just want you to hear for yourself how bad Corey is doing, I wanna help you two. I'm gonna keep you on the phone and ask him a few questions and stuff. You can even text me some questions to ask him." She offered sounding desperate.

"......OK." I hesitated.

I heard shuffling and then a beep, probably her putting it on silent. I kind of just waited for someone to say something. I texted her and didn't hear a notification, but right after she spoke up.

"Hey Batboy." She called tentatively.

"Hi." Corey responded dryly.

"So, do you still miss Rowan?" She asked slowly.

"What kind of a question is that." Corey responded in an irritable tone.

"Sorry. Well, why do you miss her so much. I mean didn't you break up? You're Corey Fogelmanis, you could get a girl today." She pushed.

"Yeah, I'm Corey Fogelmanis, and I am in love with Rowan Blanchard. She gave me everything and all I wanted was to do the same, and then you came along....I'm so stupid. You know I'm going to miss her birthday this weekend? She's turning sixteen." He muttered.

"You realize that it's illegal for you to date her then. You're 19--an adult-- and she's 16, that's still a teen." Bonnie explained.

"Yeah but we dated before I turned 18 so it doesn't count, plus it's not like we're married yet. Well, I can't say 'yet' anymore considering what happened."

I texted Bonnie a question and she responded with 'OK' before she went back to talking.

"Batboy, since it's just us and Rowan basically dumped you..can I ask you something?"

"Shoot." He responded putting down what sounding like a bottle.

"Hey Stinkmister, you've gotta stop drinking that stuff. Aren't you under age?" Bonnie said worriedly.

"Just..Ask your question." He sighed.

"Well, I was wondering if, after you've showered and eaten something, you wanna be a little bad." She whispered flirtatiously.

The moment of truth. What will he do?

"Bonnie can I ask you a personal question?" Corey asked lowly.

"Anything."

"What the hell is wrong with you? Don't you get that my soulmate hates me? I haven't moved from this couch for anything but the bathroom in a week for a reason. I'm afraid she might call or text or even find us somehow and I'll be gone and she'll think that I'm cheating again. The worst part, is when I sleep I have the same nightmare. I come home and Rowan is making out with Peyton Meyer, and when I pull them apart she gets this...Non-Rowan, look on her face and she says that this is payback. Or the other one, it's worse, Is when I'm walking toward her but I'm walking in the same spot. She's just there talking to you and then she turns to me with such a hurt look. She keeps saying if I walked to her she'll take me back and I can't move." Corey told Bonnie sounding like he was starting to cry.
