Oh my god my chest was hurting. I couldn’t breathe. Amanda dropped to her knees and pulled my face up to meet hers.
“Ellie, look at me…. if it is true…. . ”
“Mandy I saw him! I saw her…. she jumped into his arms and kissed him and then they walked into a fucking hotel room together…. . ”
“IF it is true Ellie, he does not deserve you. He is a stupid ass mother fucker who needs to have his ass kicked. ” Amanda looked up at Ari. “We need Heather…. . ”
Ari took out her cell phone and next thing I heard was CODE BLUE meet us at my place in thirty.
I started to shake my head. I took a deep breath and then reached into my purse. I pulled out my cell phone. My hands were shaking. Ari looked at me and shook her head no. I put up my hand to her as I pressed Gunner’s number.
“Hey sweetheart! You having fun with the girls?”
Fucking bastard!
“Yes…. it’s been a very informative trip to say the least. ”
“Ells, what’s wrong. You sound upset. ”
“So are you with James Gunner?”
“Ahh, yeah we were just sitting here getting caught up on times and I got a little bit of a sur…. ”
“Don’t. Ever. Call. Me. Again. I never want to talk to you again Gunner do you understand me?”
Ari reached down and pulled my arm to get me up and walking. She knew like I did Gunner would be out of the that room in five minutes tops and last thing I wanted was to see him.
“Ellie, what’re you talking about? What the fuck is going on now?”
“I saw you…. I saw you with that whore. You fucking bastard you kissed her! I saw it this time Gunner with my own goddamn eyes!”
Silence……Busted….
“Ellie, I don’t know who or what you saw but it sure as fuck was not me kissing another girl. Where are you Ellie?”
“I know what I saw and what Ari saw……. we both saw you kissing on a girl and believe me you two were very cozy with each other and practically fucking out in public. I hate you…. . I hate you Gunner!”
“Jesus Christ Ellie I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Are you home? I’m coming there now!”
“Don’t bother, I won’t be there! Good bye Gunner…I hope she was worth it. ”
I hung up the phone and started to cry. Ari was back on the phone with Heather.
“Scratch our last meeting place…we’re coming there. ”
I spent the rest of the night crying and then bitching; taking shots of something that burned like a bitch when it went down…. …I didn’t even know what the fuck I was drinking. I ended up turning off my phone because Gunner would not stop calling. Jefferson starting calling Ari’s phone and when Ari told him what happened all I heard was Jeff screaming that he was going to beat the shit out of Gunner.
I finally passed out around 3:30. I woke up to banging on the door. I sat up and oh my god…my head was pounding. Heather ran over to the door and peaked through. She turned back and said it was Jefferson. She opened the door slowly to make sure he was alone. Jefferson walked in and as soon as he saw me he came over and sat down on the sofa. Once I was in his arms I started to cry again.
“Shhhh, Ellie honey it is okay. Don’t cry honey…. . shhh…. I saw Gunner last night when he came home. He was crazy out of his mind worried because he could not find you. I don’t think he even thought to look here at Heather’s place. ”
“I don’t care Jefferson, I don’t care how worried he was because he sure as shit wasn’t thinking about me when he was backing some bitch up into a hotel room!”
“Ellie are you sure it was Gunner. He swore to me he was with his cousins honey. ”
I pulled away from him and just looked at him. Then I looked
over at Ari who shook her head.
