“Aw fuck you Bob!” I call out and he paused like he was gonna say something but he stopped himself. He just smiled as he shut the bathroom door. I went into my room and got dressed quickly while he was in the shower and then headed into the kitchen to see what I could make for breakfast.

I looked through the cabinets. I didn’t really have that much food. I mean I hardly ever eat here. And I rarely eat breakfast. I still wanted to make pancakes. I mean I was gonna make em yesterday but Billy said they taste like feet… Like feet!? That little fucker… How does he even know what feet taste like? My pancakes don’t taste like feet!

Damn… Those poor kids, alone with Paul! I still can’t believe he made me leave… Fuck Bobby’s gonna be so upset when he wakes up! I didn’t even tell him goodbye…

I decided to call him. Bobby, not Paul. But of course since Bobby is only four Paul answers the phone…

“Let me talk to Bobby.” I tell him and he laughs.

“I knew you’d call.” He says smugly.

“Shut up Paul. Just give the phone to Bobby please hmm?” I reply and he laughs again.

“Uh….” He says like he's thinking about it. “no.” he says and I bite my lip a little.

“Paul!” I say and he shifts the phone on his ear a little.

“He's still fucking sleeping Elle.” Paul says and I frown.

“He is?” I ask a little confused.

“You know what fucking time it is?” He asks me and I shake my head no.

“No.” I reply.

“Its fucking 7 am Elle!” He laughs. I frown and look over at the clock… I’ll be damned! It was! Fuck… What was I doing up so early?

“Oh.” I tell him and I can hear him shifting the phone again.

“Listen why don’t you come back.” He says softly.

“What?” I gasp a little. He was not seriously asking me that.

“Please Elle.” He says lowering his voice a little. Using that ‘sincere’ tone of his… But I know him… It was just a ‘tone’… It wasn’t real…

“Paul.” I sigh a little.

“Come on Elle.” He says and I can feel myself wavering.

“I cant…" I start to say pressing my lips together thinking about it...

"Elle, I'm real sorry okay.” He interupts me.

“You are?” I ask stupidly… I don’t know why I'm letting myself believe him again.

“Yeah its just… I was a little fucked up last night.” He says and I roll my eyes.

“Yeah I could tell.” I said sarcastically. I mean last night when he came in he stunk like stale beer and cigarettes. And he doesn’t smoke… “I don’t know why you drove home like that from Mikes, you should’ve just stayed there if you were drinking, you know better.” I say disappointedly.

“I know.” He says and I rub my eyes a little. “But I came back cause of you.” He says and I make a face at him. Well at the phone, so he didn’t see me. But I think the shock was evident in my voice.

“ME?” I say stunned.

“Yeah.” He says softly and I shake my head a little. What the fuck is he talking about. “I don’t know…” He mumbles. “And when I got there.” He says shifting the phone again.

“Yeah?” I say a bit lost still.

“I don’t know I'm just trying to say I'm real sorry for how I treated you last night.” He tells me.

“And Gerard?” I ask and I hear him snicker.

“You were fucking him in my bed.” He says and I smile.

“And?” I ask.

“And?!” He kinda yells back.

“Don’t yell at me Paul or I'm gonna hang up.” I say and I hear him take a deep breath.

“Look Elle what do you want me to say huh?” He says and I shrug… I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted…”Are you gonna come back?” He asks me and I frown. “Please.” He says and I sigh a little.

“I don’t-“ I try to say but he keeps talking.

“Look if I don’t go today Elle, I'm gonna be fucked.” He says referring to his wrestling thing. “Can you just please…” He says and I sigh again.

“Fine.” I say reluctantly.

“Thanks Elle.” He replies.

“I don’t want no shit from you when I get there Paul!” I say and he laughs.

“I gotta leave in like an hour.” He says and I smile.

“Well then I’ll be there in 59 minutes.” I say and he laughs.

“You bringing Ge-rard?” He snickers.

“He went to help Ray with his car.” I say without thinking.

“Then I’ll see you in a bit baby.” He says hanging up quickly… I mean I wasn’t gonna bring Gerard back there. Not after what happened last night… But I was gonna have to bring Bob…’Gonna have to bring Bob?’ I laughed to myself… Fuck after what happened to last night- neither one of them are gonna leave me alone… not ever again… I'm not gonna have to ‘bring’ him anywhere… They're just gonna be following me around.

I glanced up at the clock. Time was ticking by so fast… I still hadn’t made breakfast. And now… Now I'm not even gonna be able to! I frowned a little as I dialed Rays number… Gerard's gonna be so disappointed when I tell him I'm not gonna make him anything… I mean I wanted to. I just didn’t have time anymore…

“Hey.” I say when he finally gets on the phone.

“Aw Elle I was gonna call you.” He says and I make a face.

“Why?” I ask.

“I'm not coming back.” He says and I frown.

“Not ever?” I ask a little concerned. He laughed.

“No.” He chuckles. “I'm not gonna be make it back for breakfast.” He says and I feel slightly relieved.

“But you are coming back?” I ask and he laughs again.

“Yeah I’ll be back baby.” He tells me and I nod.

“Well that’s good cause I'm not making breakfast.” I say and he shifts the phone a little.

“Something happen?” He asks raising his voice up.

“No no no.” I say quickly. “I um… I'm gonna go back to Pauls.” I say and I hear him exhale a little. “He's gotta go to that thing in a hour and his mom should be back around noon soooo” I say and he coughs a little.

“You’re gonna bring Bob.” He says and I shrug.

“If I have to.” I say.

“No it wasn’t a question Elle.” He says roughly. “You ARE going to bring Bob.” He repeats emphasizing ‘are’.

“Well them I'm gonna bring Bob.” I say raising my voice up to match his.

“All right.” He sighs a little. I could hear Ray saying something in the background. “Give me one minute.” He tells Ray.

“Hello?” I say into the phone. “You still there?” I ask him.

“Yeah I'm here.” He replies. “So you're just gonna go to Pauls for a few hours?” He says and I nod.

“Yeah… that’s it…oh and then I'm gonna stop at Wills on the way back.” I add quickly.

“You're what?” He says and I can hear the tension in his voice.

“It's on my list of things to do today Gerard.” I say plainly.

He chuckles. “Oh you have a list!”

“Yup.” I tell him.

“Well then, if it's on your list go ahead then.” He says sarcastically.

“Look I know what you said about doing it your way and all.” I say and I can hear him kinda laughing in frustration. “But seriously Gerard, I wanna go and talk to his parents. I have to.” I say and he doesn’t say anything. “It’ll be a lot easier if I just go there and talk to them and ask for my stuff back then if you try to go alone.” I tell him and he was still silent… “Are you still there?” I ask.

“Yes.” He says.

“Yes?” I repeat back… Was he saying yes I can go or yes he's there? “So I can go?” I ask a little confused. I hear him take a deep breath. “Look you don’t know his parents Gerard!” I exclaim. “I do… they're weird.” I tell him.

“Weird?” He repeats back to me.

“They're like religious fanatics okay?” I say and he doesn’t answer me. “I'm telling you Gerard they're just weird.” I say again.

“Why don’t you just go to Pauls and we’ll talk after.” He says and I frown. “No you know what?” He says. “I’ll meet you at Pauls around noon okay?” He says and I shrug. “Elle?” He calls my name.

“Yeah?” I reply.

“Is that okay?” He says and I shrug again. “Answer me Elle.” He says.

“Answer what?” I ask.

“I asked you if that was okay.” He says.

“And I shrugged.” I tell him.

“Oh I'm sorry I didn’t see that! my video phones not working.” He teases me.

“Fuck you Gerard.” I say smiling.

“Yeah do me a favor and add that to your list too for later.” He chuckles.

“Oh don’t worry baby… It’s all ready on there…
