21. We Jumped Never Asking Why

       I sat at the bar later that night as the bartender poured me another whiskey straight.

                I swirled the glass around when someone sat down about 5 seats away from me.

                “Another crazy night, I mean the bar looks packed.” The person said back to the bartender.

                The bartender glared back at her, “You are funny.”

                I looked up at myself in the mirror behind the bar when my phone went off.

                I glanced down as it was Boone calling me this time.

                “Hey, you finally picked up your phone.”

                “You stole his phone to talk to me.” I said back to Stephen.

                “I can't stand this anymore Jordana. You need to talk to me.”

                I glanced back at the red head next to me. I saw the little tattoo on her wrist. “No, I don’t wanna talk to you.”

                “Jordana, don’t do this to me!”

                I hung up the phone as I put it on the bar.

                I looked down at my drink as I tossed it back.

                I glanced back at the red head as she was drinking nothing but water, “Must have been a simple day for nothing but water.”

                She looked back at me, “I just don’t feel like drinking.”

                “You came to a bar to pay $6 for water?” I looked at her.

                She narrowed her eyes back at me, “Excuse me?”

                “You came to the one bar in all of Vancouver that I am always at. You can do what you think is right Danneel but stalking me is a bad idea.”

                She looked at me in horror like I got her with her hand in the cookie jar.

                I watched as she went to get up. I grabbed the ash tray that was on the bar and sent it across her face.

                Danneel slammed back on the floor as I bent down to her.

                “You keep following me around; you aren't gonna like what you find out about me.” I said back to her.

                She looked back at me when I saw the blood on her face.

                “Stay the fuck away from me and stay the fuck away from Jensen.” I stood up and went out of the bar as I tossed some money on the bar to cover my drink.

                Danneel grabbed her face as a few people rushed to her aid.

                I walked down the street as my phone went off again.

                This time Stephen was calling me from his phone.

                I looked back down the street. “What do you want Stephen?”

                “Where are you?”

                I kept walking down the street when Jensen’s name flashed up on my screen. “Where you sure about Jensen and what you said about him earlier?”
