Seven Days

Chapter 3

While we were waiting I kept thinking of how odd it was that he got attacked by those... well, I guess they were wolves... anyway, it really doesn't seem like that big of a deal and actually seems sort of stupid if you think about it but still, here we are waiting to find out if Carter would even be alive tomorrow. Strange.

We kept trying to get a hold of Angie but her phone kept going to voicemail and we called her law firm, she's a lawyer, and they said she wasn't there. What the freak is going on? it's been almost five hours.

To top it all off, Jayley called wanting to know 'where the freak is Ben, It's a freaking short day today and I need a ride. I'm pregnant for gosh sakes!' and of course, Ben wasn't up to talking to her so he asked if I would do it. I guess i'm just to nice of a person to say no right now so obviously I said yes and I went outside o talk to her as there may be yelling and I diodn't want to disturb anyone.

I answered the phone and was immediatly screamed at, "Where the freak (actually said another word but not comfortable repeating that) are you Ben? You knew it was a freaking (again, different word) short day today and I need a ride. I'm pregnant for gosh sakes! Get your butt (different word) to the dang (and again) school and give me a freaking (once more) ride, you lazy, ungrateful, worth nothing, (emphasis on the 'nothing') mother freaking (you get the idea) butt hole (last time)."

I put on my best 'cheerfully annoyed talking to a three year old that had just done something bad' voice and began speaking, "Jayley, hun, it's Averie. Remeber me? Your boyfriend's bestfriend? Yeah. Well, i'm afraid Ben won't be picking you up today as his brother just so happens to be in the hospital. Also, If I may mention, Ben doesn't need to worry about the fact that you're pregnant seeing as how that isn't his baby, which, also means, you cheated on him. So how about you go and take your lazy, ungrateful, worth nothing, (emphasis on the, 'ungrateful' and 'worth nothing') mother freaking, butt hole self and go walk home, seeing as how you could use it anyway, Chubs."

"I COULDN"T GIVE A FREAK IF HIS BROTHER'S IN THE HOSPITAL! I NEED A RIDE AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M GOING TO GET!"

Now I was starting to get angry. How dare she say that about Carter. "I COULDN'T GIVE A FREAK IF YOU GOT RUN OVER ON YOUR WAY HOME EITHER YOU SKANK BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU! AND, WHO THE FREAK IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A RIDE? YOUR GIRLFRIEND ISN'T ALLOWED ON SCHOOL GROUNDS, 'BABY DADDY' DOESN"T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU, WHICH I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY, YOU"RE PARENTS DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU EITHER, AND BEN IS SURE AS HECK NOT GIVING YOU A RIDE!" I yelled, I was attracting a lot of attention but I really didn't care. This was my chance to let her know how I feel and I was sure as heck going to let her hear it.

"DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO ME LIKE THAT YOU HOE! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME! SO KEEP MY NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH."

Does she think that's cool? Really? 'Keep my name out of your mouth...?' I put my voice back on and started to speak again, "First, I'm deffinatly not a hoe. Second, I know almost EVERYTHING about you because Ben tells me, I know that you got pregnant by someone else, I know that that you have a girlfriend, which, is disgusting, I know that your parents are kicking you out and that the ONLY reason Ben is marrying you is because he feels bad that you're pregnant and has nowhere else to go. He wouldn't even be marrying you if his parents hadn't told him that they wouldn't even SPEAK to him if he let you stay with them. How's that for not knowing anything about you? THOUGHT SO!"

She started saying something else but i hung up. I didn't want to hear he voice anymore.

I walked back in trying to calm myself down so not to stress Ben out further and sat down giving him his phone back.

"You were gone a while, everything go okay?"

"Fine." I said, not feeling like talking.

He didn't press the subject further  and we just waited in silence.

Two hours later, Angie came running in.
