I guess it was hard seeing Jacob not talk to me on the way home.

I guess it was hard knowing that what he did to Chase was cruel.

And I guess it was hard knowing that I should be mad at him not him mad at me. What was I supose to do? say no to the little girl who begged it was urgent for me to meet him?

Anyways I guess it was hard to deal with all of this, but did I really need to call Chase to talk about it.

I stare at the already dialed numbers on my cell phone awaiting for me to press talk.

He did say call him if there is any problems...

I pressed talk and walked over to my bed to lay. I press the phone against my ear to hear the usual pattern of ringing I usually hear.

On the fifth ring someone answered, it wasn't Chase.

"Hello?" said an elderly voice voice.

I didnt know what to say, should I talk to her or hang up.

"Anybody there?"

It was probably rude to call and not answer, plus I bet chase has collar id and probably would call me back.

"hello" I breathed out.

"oh hello! this is miss Madison how may I help you?"

"Can I have Chase please?"

"Chase? I dont know a Chase"

great I got a fake number.

"Oh wait, do you mean Charles?"

"Charles?"

"yes, I forgot my grandson likes to call himself Chase instead"

I laughed. "His name is Charles?"

"It's a family name"

"oh I'm sorry" I said still laughing.

"Well let me get you Chase"

"Hello?"

"Hey Chase it's me Nicole"

"oh hey Nicole"

"can I ask you something" I asked biting my lip.

"yeah sure"

"Should I call you Chase or Charles?"

I could hear him cringing on the other side. "Chase, call me Chase please"

"but Charles sounds so formal" I whined.

"Did you just call to make fun of me?"

"no, I called because of Jacob..."

"what did he do this time"

"he's ignoring me"

"shouldn't that be the other way around?"

"yeah but-"

"no buts Nicole, you gotta put him in his place"

"Chase I-"

"Listen Nicole I gotta go but don't let him take advantage of you"

after that the phone call ended.

"Thanks Charles" I groan as I roll to my side on the bed.
