You're Mine

Call

————————
The car ride home was silent. Leo tried talking to me, but I just ignored him. It wasn't that I was mad at him, but at the situation.

My thoughts were in a blur, and I couldn't focus. I tried counting the trees that I saw, but the number's became too large to remember.

Leo drives up to my apartment, and as I try to open the car door it locks.

"Unlock the door," I declare.

"No," he says. "Not until you talk to me."

"There's nothing to talk about," I scoff, not looking at him.

"Please," he pleads. "Just look at me at least. I'm sorry."

His voice was breaking as he spoke, and I could tell how much the incident hurt him.

"Quinella please."

A knock on his window interrupts the one sided conversation. It was Ashton.

"Hey I was waiting for you! I got the call!" He exclaims.

I put on a fake smile, and put a finger up notifying him to wait a moment. I looked at Leo who's eyes were red, and strained.

"Unlock the door, please."

Leo does so, and I step out of the car. It felt as though Leo was trying to say something to me, but I just shut the door and walked away.

"Did you get a call?" Asks, the delighted Ashton.

"Not sure," I say.

"Don't you have your phone?"

"I left it at home."

"Well, let's hurry inside, and see if you got the internship!"

I was out of it as Ashton, and I walked into my apartment. Ashton noticed something was up, and didn't say a word. He just gave me a comforting smile.

"Your home!" Squeals Nia.

"Ya."

"Someone's not in a good mood," teases Jean.

"Ha funny," I say flatly, leaving the living room to grab my phone.

I turn it on, and am mauled with several missed call notifications. It was from Sky Pillar.

"Just great," I mutter.

I call the number back, and I high pitched voice answers on the other end.

"Hello! Thank you for calling Sky Pillars. How may I assist you today?"

"Hi, actually I got a call from you guys. In the email it said that you guys have accepted my internship, and I just wanted to say that something came up, and I won't actually be able to do it."

"I'm sorry to here that! If I may ask, what's your name?"

"Quinn Ross. Q-U-I-N-N R-O-S-S."

"Okay Ms. Ross it actually says here that you are a golden member. I will pass you along to Mr. Skyes, and he will help you from here."

I sigh as I am put on hold. A golden member? What the frick does that mean!

I stay on hold for a few minutes longer before I am greeted with a voice.

"Quinella just because you're mad at me, doesn't mean you're going to ditch your internship," says Leo. "You will be starting Monday, which is tomorrow. I expect to see you there."

"Leonardo I won't be there," I state.

"If you're not here at 7:30 sharp Ashton will lose his internship," shrugs Leo over the phone. "It will be over before it even started."
