Chapter Twenty Four: I will donate your stomach organs to the less fortunate

* * *

My phone was ringing.

A shrill, unearthly sound that shattered my sleep to pieces as I sat bolt upright, tipping myself off the bed in the process. I scrambled wildly to get myself out of the tangle of blankets and dove for the phone, almost knocking over my bedside table at the same time.

"Hello?"

"Nala Bear!" I let out a grown and slapped my hand to my forehead.

"Jayden!"

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing."

"I get the feeling you're not happy to hear my voice." He said, sounded disheartened. "Why do I get the feeling your'e not happy not to hear my voice."

"It doesn't matter." I said, leaning back against my pillow. "I was just waiting for a call from my grandmothers retirement home. They called me yesterday and told me they'd ring me back today, but it doesn't matter. What's up?"

"I can leave the house now!" Said Jayden. "My ankles healed enough that my mother finally agreed to go home and I have doctors permission to go wild. His words, not mine."

"Go wild." I said. "Why are you calling me then?" There was a silence on the other end of the line. "I'm hardly someone who will go 'wild' Jayden."

"Oh well." Said Jayden breezily. "You were the first one I thought of."

"I'm touched." I replied, swinging my legs back onto the bed and curling up under the covers. "But I'm really not in the mood to go galavanting around the city. You know, I really wish you'd asked me yesterday. Then I might have been able to stop my date with my bed and my computer and as much junk food as I can fit in a shopping basket, but you didn't, so I can't. I do wish you did Jayden. Really."

"And I wish you had a choice in the matter." Jayden replied. "But you don't. So I'll meet you out the front in ten minutes yeah?"

"But I have plans Jay!" I said.

"I'll unplan them for you." Jayden replied. "Now no excuses. Go."

"I'm going." I said, turning over so I was facing the wall. "I'm going down stairs now."

"Spencer, I know for a fact that you're still in bed." Said Jayden. I frowned.

"What?"

"You heard me. Now get up." I let out a grown. Swinging my legs out of bed, I pulled Jayden's shirt down over my legs and headed for the door. I opened it to find Jayden standing outside my door, a smug grin on his face. I gaped at him as he put his phone into his back pocket.
