Taking Me Over
Chapter 15: Love Stinks
Back inside the theater…:
“I’ll be right back,” Emma whispered, climbing over Niki, Jessica, and Erin.
“I’ll come I gotta get some soda.” Matt replied getting up and following her.
After buying his soda, Matt looked around the lobby for Jesse and Ellen. He couldn’t see them, but he spotted a blonde head sitting on the bench outside. He walked over to the window and saw Ellen sitting on Jesse lap with Jesse’s arms around her.
“What’s so interesting out there?” said a voice from behind him.
Matt turned around, “Oh…hey Emma…just look.”
“Uh-oh...”
“Uh-oh what?” said another voice.
Both Matt and Emma turned around with worried looks on their faces, “Hey......Greg,” Matt was the first to speak, “Why don’t we...uh...go back into the movie?”
“Nah I wanna find Ellen first, she’s been gone for a while and the movie’s almost over. It’s getting boring anyways.”
“I’m sure she’ll be back soon, she’s probably...in the bathroom,” Emma lied.
“You’re the worst liar I’ve ever heard,” laughed Greg, “Now really, where is she? I saw you looking outside, is she out th...”
Greg stopped short as he walked up to the window and saw Ellen and Jesse “cuddling.”
“Nice try guys. Maybe the movie won’t be so bad after all.” Greg replied, walking back towards the theater.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“We should probably go back now,” Jesse whispered, “I think we can control our laughter now.” he added, trying to lighten the mood.
“Hmmmmm......five more minutes mom,” Ellen stirred, half asleep.
Jesse smiled and shook her shoulder lightly, “Earth to Ellen.”
“Hmmmm? Oh sorry, yeah let’s go back...” she mumbled, wiping her tear-stained cheeks.
“Are you sure you’re ok?”
“Yeah...revenge will be sweet...” she smiled sadly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“You’re really hott,” Maureen whispered to Greg.
Greg laughed half-heartedly still thinking of Ellen, “Thanks...I think.” Suddenly he got an idea, “Two can play at this game,” Greg thought moving closer to Maureen and kissing her.
Ellen had just come in and was about to climb over Erin when he started kissing Maureen,“Guess you didn’t miss me,” Ellen stated, her jaw quivering.
“Nice job Greg,” Jesse muttered chasing after Ellen as she ran out of the theater.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Ellen! Ellen wait!” Jesse yelled from the lobby as Ellen ran towards the exit doors.
People gave him strange looks.
Jesse just ignored him as he walked outside and sat down next to Ellen on the bench where she was sitting.
“How could he do that to me? I knew something was going on, I don’t know why I even liked him. I don’t deserve him…” she muttered through her sobs.
“Come here.” Jesse whispered opening up his arms for her.
She moved closer to him and lay her head down softly on his shoulder as the tears flowed down her face, “I hate him! Why would he do that? I must be really ugly or a jerk or something…”
“Don’t say that!” Jesse said sternly lifting up her chin and using his thumbs to wipe away her tears.
“Why not,” Ellen sniffled, “It’s true. Why else would he do that?”
“It’s not true! You are a very beautiful person. No one deserves to have that happen to them!” Jesse insisted, smoothing out her hair, “You’re nice, you’re funny, you’re smart…I have no clue why Greg did that, he must’ve…I dunno taken stupid pills or something!”
Ellen laughed, “That is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard!” she giggled again, “But it’s really funny. I haven’t heard someone say that since…I dunno when!”
“Well it’s true, that’s the only explanation I can think of for someone giving you up. You’re so beautiful and…” he stopped because their lips were so close that he couldn’t even talk.
“Are you going to kiss me now?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
“Would you mind?”
“N…” she started but stopped as he pulled her closer...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Greg…uhh…this might be kind of a stupid question, but is that girl your girlfriend?” Maureen asked uncomfortably.
“Well…uhh…yeah.”
“Greg!” Maureen practically screamed.
“SHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!” some girls yelled from across the theater.
“How could you do that!?” Maureen responded angrily, lowering her voice a little, “I feel awful! That’s so mean, how would you feel if someone did that to you!?”
“The way I’m feeling right now…” he muttered.
“You should go apologize to her right now.”
Greg shifted his eyes downward uncomfortably.
“If you won’t, then I will!” Maureen stated getting up and walking out of the theater.
Erin shook her head, muttering, “If this is love is, then I don’t want any part of it!”
