I hug Adam and take a seat next to him. He puts his arm around me as I rest my head on his shoulder. This was one of the few assholes who I loved on the free agent list for Chicago that I knew I was going to miss if he left. "I'm going to miss getting drunk with you Ella," he laughs as I look at him.
"Dude, you don't even know if you're leaving for sure."
"Dallas wants to make a good deal for me. I'll know in two days."
"Thanks for being a good friend, even if you don't know how to keep your mouth shut."
"Ella, I'll ALWAYS have your back."
Nik and Christina arrive with Troy Brower and his wife. We all sit and talk like nothing happened between Jonny and I as Patrick Kane and Stephanie walk in. So far, there was no sign of Jonny, and I was hoping it would stay like that for the night. Things were going well
until they walked in.
I whip my head around and see Jonny walk in with Bridgid. This was going to be a longass night. I take a seat next to Christina, who's avoiding Patrick Sharp at all costs. I catch him looking at her and her looking back as I hit her. "Don't make it so obvious or Nik will find out," I tell her.
No one is talking to Jonny that much, infact, there all pissed Bridgid is here. I walk into the house and into the kitchen to grab a water bottle. I hear the thunder, meaning everyone is going to be piling into the house. I turn around and see Bridgid standing infront of me. Her dark brown hair is pulled back into a low bun and her face is caked with make up. "Hey," is all I slip out.
"Why are you here? I'm surprised there even associating with you."
"My best friend is pregnant, I have a right to be here. What's it to you?"
"Jonny clearly dumped you, you shouldn't be here."
"I clearly don't know why he took you back."
"Because look at you, your a hotmess. Your father is gay, your mother is a drug addict, and your brother will make it no where. You might as well drop off the face of the earth."
I slap her across the face. She's holding the side of her face now. I shake my head. "You have no fucken right talking about my family like that!" I look up and now everyone is looking at Bridgid and I. I walk outside and I hear the door slam behind me. "Ella, what the hell is your problem!?"
Jonathan.
"Jon, leave me alone."
"Ella," he yells, turning me around. "This is obnoxious."
"You know, I'm trying to make it through right now, but in my way, there is you. I'm okay--"
"Ella, don't bring her into this. You're not okay, I know it."
"I am okay."
"No you're not Ella, I can see right through you."
"You know Jonny, if you were dead or still alive, I don't care."
"Whatever Ella."
"Just go and leave this all behind, because I swear I don't care."
"I'm glad you don't Ella."
"Welcome to the real world Jonny, because guess what, I don't care."
"Good..because I don't care either...at all."
I storm off and drive home with Apocalypta's I Don't Care blaring through my speakers. Jonathan Toews...what the hell did I ever see in you. I should've stuck with my gut and never dated you, hooked up with you, tell you I loved you...
When the truth was, I do care. I really do care...but at the same time, I don't care.
