Chapter Seven

"So she didn't snap out of it at all ?." Mana questioned, looking into the room at her friend who was now holding a pillow, softly talking or singing to herself.

Britney shook her head slowly as Mana buried her face in hands. Julie had her fists clenched and was shaking from her anger. Robyn was busy trying to calm both down while she held her anger in herself. No-one could wait to kill that bloody bastard. Luckily, they were going on a camping trip soon, so hopefully Terri would better by then.

Chris went into Terri's room she just yelled to go away from her. He backed off then quietly tried again. This time she said nothing he sat down on the bed. His hand went on her shoulder. She shook it off and replied to him :. " Chris, I'm not ready for another relationship now." He told her to turn around and look at him. As she did, he spoke :.

Chris - I'm not trying to force you into another relationship. I just wanna talk to you. Okay ?.

Terri - Okay. Talk.

Chris - Good. If you need me, I'll be here for you. You can call or talk to me anytime. ( rubs her arm ). It's gonna be okay. We'll get that asshole for what he did to you. ( She looks into eyes ).

Terri - Chris, I , look, I'm never gonna get over him. I can't. I loved him.

Chris - Clearly, he didn't love you like you thought he did. Otherwise he wouldn't have done this to you.

Terri - What if he did truly love me ?.

Chris - Look, get him out of your mind.

Robyn - He's right girl. ( hugs her friend ) You'll never get over him if you don't stop thinking and talking 'bout him. ( sits beside Terri ). You know we're right. You don't wanna be miserable forever do you ?.

Mana - We're taking you to the doctors in 4 days. He can check you out to make sure you're okay. I know all it is is motion sickness and nausea but if you have the flu you gotta get medicine for it. You've been moody lately too and you food tastes are getting weird.

Julie - Personally, I think you're pregnant. Also you could be trying to gross us out. Either way, all we're doing is making sure how sick you are before we go on our camping trip.

Terri - ( confused ) - What trip ?. ( looks at everyone getting no response ). I'm not going.

Britney - You need to get out more. There's no way we're gonna let you stay cooped up in here forever.

We're all going too. (Terri opens her mouth to say something ) Don't object any more. Finally, she gives in. She goes to sleep playing Brandy's and Mandy Moore's music. Robyn pulls down the covers as Chris lays her in bed. Julie stops him be4 he can try to kiss her. Mana ushers the others out of the room, as she covers up her when the phone rings.

~~~

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING CALLING HERE YOU FUKING ASSHOLE ?!?!?!?!." She screamed into the phone at the voice she did not wanna hear. She quickly hung up the phone. Next time it rang she checked their called id and just picked up the phone and slammed it down abruptly. She did the same thing for the 3rd call. When no 4th call came, she laid at the foot of the bed and let out a sigh of relief and anger.

The phone rang while Mana soundly slept. Terri woke up and yawned and sleepily picked up the phone. The 2nd time person said hello , she realized who this was and breather hard and deep then panicked. 4 screams later Erik was unsuccessfully trying to calm her down, Mana woke up and asked what was going on and who was calling. Still, trying to calm her down, Erik got called bastard, asshole, son of a bitch, and bastard again before Mana grabbed the phone from her friend. Then Terri and grabbed the phone again and insulted 8 more times before Mana finally started dissing Erik herself.

Mana - You have no right to call here.

Erik - Look, isn't enough that you've broken my arm ?.

Mana - Isn't it enough that she's miserable because of you ?.

Erik - Just cut it out.

Mana- I was serious about my gun unless you want me to come over there right now and blow your Fuking brains out, I suggest you never call here again.

Erik - Just let me talk to her please.

Mana - Forget it sh*tbrains.

Erik - You are really over-reacting here.

Mana - For al we know, you could have gotten her pregnant asshole.

Erik - You are blowing this out of proportion you sick little whore.

Mana- If you ever talk to me like that again, I will blow that gun in your brain, so don't push me anymore. ( fires her gun at the ceiling ).

Erik - Fine. At least tell her something for me.

Mana - What's that ?.

Erik - I was gonna break it of with Ashley, and I'm in love with her.

Mana - You wouldn't know love if it smacked your across your damn head !!!!!!. And to top it all off, you're still with that other slut ?!?!?!?!?!.

Erik - No. I am not with her anymore. The reason I didn't break it off with her before is that I was afraid that after I did and I told Terri that she would dump me. ( takes a deep breath ). Mana just hangs up and tells Terri to go back to sleep as she plays Mandy's music again. Later, when it ends, Mana sticks in Brandy as her friend sleeps with tears running down her face. The phone was taken off the hook. ( Erik took his off the hook also ).

Mana quickly ran to the store across the street to buy some necessities for the camping trip. ( Erik fell asleep also, both him and Terri thinking of each other as, 'Have you ever ?.' came on and into both teens minds ).

****************
'Have you Ever.'
"Have you ever loved somebody so much It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so hard You can't sleep at night
Have ever tried to find the words But they don't come out right
Have you ever, Have you ever
Have you ever been in love Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start
Have ever loved somebody so much It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so hard You can't sleep at night
Have ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, Have you ever
Have you ever found the one You've dreamed of all your life
You'd do anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for that day when they will care
What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta do to get your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Coz baby I can't sleep.
Have You Ever?
Have you ever loved somebody so much It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so hard
You can't sleep at night
Have ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, Have you ever Have you ever ?."
