CHAPTER SEVEN: Day 25

There was nothing but lame ass Hallmark shit on TV. I was tempted to go play the X-Box but most of our games weren't much fun without two players and Tyler had left yesterday to spend the week with his family. I stopped flipping channels to check my watch. Betsy was supposed to pick me up. Dinner and presents at my mom's started at two. Oh great, a Very Fucking Brady Christmas. Perfect holiday fare. Ok, so Marsha was hot, but she was blonde, and I wasn't into blondes anymore.

My cell vibrated in my pocket, sending a jolt straight to my balls. I grinned. It had to be Betsy. I flipped it open without looking and said, "Hey sexy, you coming?"

"Oh... uh... Jay?"

"Yeah...?" I sat up, not recognizing the voice. Oh shit, did I just call my Aunt Sylvia sexy?

"Hi, Jay. I was just calling to wish you a Merry Christmas." I couldn't place the voice, but it wasn't Aunt Sylvia. This girl was young.

"Well, thanks..." My mind was racing. "You, too."

"You don't know who this is, do you?" she asked. Fuck. Was I going to have to admit it? Wow, she sounded really disappointed. I felt bad, but I didn't say anything. "It's Evie. You know, from the bar." The blonde. That night, oh my god, she left crying and I let her walk home in the cold.

"Yeah... listen... hey... about that night... I wasn't... did you... make it home ok?"

Christ, that was pathetic. I cringed.

"Oh, it was fine. My girlfriend was still at the bar, remember?”

Betsy? I remembered them dancing together.

“Anyway, I just wanted to call and say Merry Christmas."

"Well, thanks." I muted the TV, watching Jan talk to Cindy—who couldn't possibly be the same chick, but she was pretty hot, so who cared? "So what are you up to today?"

"Oh, nothing, really. My family isn't in state, and I couldn't afford to fly home. I'm just hanging around in the dorms." God, she sounded sad.

"That sucks.”

"Yeah, well... I'm used to it. So what about you?"

"Oh, my mom always has dinner for me and my brother." I didn't want to tell her I was taking Betsy. Why add insult to injury?

"Jay?" Her voice was so small.

"Yeah?"

"That night..." she began. I cringed. Oh, great...here it comes. "It was really something. I like you... I wanted to you to know that. I really like you a lot."

I sat there, stunned. Ok. Not what I was expecting at all. Funny, but I liked her, too, now, all of a sudden—a girl all alone on Christmas day.

"Well... I like you, too." I hit the power button on the remote and watched the TV

go black. I glanced at the calendar underneath. I could still smell the cranberries. I'd been smelling them all night long.

"You do?" Wow, she sounded happy. Really happy. I felt suddenly guilty for no reason whatsoever.

"Yeah." I glanced at the calendar again, and noticed it looked askew. As if it had moved, or been moved. No, not exactly.
