Ellen was thinking of how rude Jamie was to just leave her hanging like that.
She started to wonder what she would say if Taylor called her. All the sudden
she was startled by the phone. She thought it was Jamie calling her back.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Um hi"
"Who is this? she asked.
"You might not believe me and please don't scream. This is Taylor Hanson" he
said as he held the phone away from his ear so he wouldn't hear her scream.
"Hi, my name is Ellen," she said happier.
"I was told to call you by...'Zac who told you to tell me to call
Ellen?'....Jamie."
She started thinking again. The only reason that Jamie told her she had to go
was because she knew Ellen didn't have call waiting on her back line.
"Hello?" he asked for the third time. She finally woke up from her little
trance she was in.
"Sorry, I didn't realize that I left you there for a minute." she said shyly.
"That's OK," he told her, "why do you sound so depressed?"
"Don't worry about," she said not wanting to remember Matt.
"OK," she was glad he didn't ask any more questions like that "What's up?"
"Nothing, so what's up with you guys?" she questioned.
"Just getting ready for our tour."
"Cool. When I first started talking to you I thought you were going to be
stuck up and everything, but you're not."
"Well to tell you the truth I wasn't even gonna call you, cause I did not want
to talk to any obsessed fans, but Zac talked me into it. And I'm glad I did."
"Is that a compliment?" she asked.
"Yeah, I guess it is," he replied.
"Thanks."
They kept talking from friends to girlfriends to boyfriends. Her school and
summer. And everything in between. She heard someone in the background.
"Holy shit! Do you know what time it is?" he asked, "We've been talking for
two hours!"
"Really?" she said in disbelief.
"Well, I gotta go cause Zac wants to call Jamie. I'll call you some other
time."
"But not too long from now, right?"
"Of course I'll call you as soon as I can. See ya."
"Bye," she said.
They hung up, she realized that, that was the first time she had gone two
hours without thinking of Matt, except when he got curious and asked if she
had a boy friend. She picked up the phone to call Jamie, but obviously she
was talking to Zac. She thought about calling Sue, but decided against it for
fear of her getting jealous.
"I guess I'll see what's on TV" she said to herself.
After seeing nothing was on that interested her and South Park wouldn't come on for another 1 and a half hr , she got in the shower. But she did not notice that she was singing in the shower, until her brother yelled at her to stop singing those scratchy boys.
She got out and went online. She looked at
the teen people "Hanson Fans ONLY" section. All these girls were saying "Tay
is my boyfriend" or "I know Hanson" it made her so sick to see all these kind
of notes. She thought to herself how much jealousy that would have if she
told them she had talked to them on the phone?! She got bored and signed off.
It was now ten and South Park was on. It was the one about the football team.
She laughed as Kenny was killed and Kyle and Stan said her favorite line.
"They killed Kenny!"
"You bastards!"
After writing in her journal of all the things that happened today, she went
to bed.
"That South Park was great!" Tay told Zac.
"Yeah, it kicked ass!" Zac said trying to do his best impression of Cartmen.
"So, Zac, tell me about Jamie," Taylor said getting curious.
"Well since someone was on the phone for two hours I wish I could have found
out more." Zac said laughing at Taylor.
"Sorry," he said sarcastically.
"Well," he started," she lives in FL, goes to a private school, an only child,
about 5 ft. 4 in., brown hair brown eyes, 13, & says she has known Ellen for
about 8 or 9 years."
"So Zac your going for the older ones now?" Taylor teased him.
"Shut up! Any way tell me about Ellen."
"Ok, she is about 5 ft. 3 in., sandy blonde hair, brown eyes, private school,
one brother, lived in FL, good sense of humor and available."
Oh, now we are getting to the juicy part!" Zac said. "Tay, you can't like
some you have just, sorta met. Plus, she just broke up with her boyfriend."
"I know, I know, it's just... well ...never mind. I can't explain it and you
would not understand."
Ellen woke up to go to school a little heavy hearted. Taylor still hadn't called her back and she was starting to wonder if he would ever call back.
