Lennon Calls

[Sapphire] *she answers her phone when Lennon calls her* No Lennon I'm not cheating on you baby I swear I'm not. *she starts to cry* It's why I told you as soon as it happened. If I was cheating I would have hid it. *she sits up in her bed with her knees to her chest*

[Lennon] Well I don't believe you. Why did you agree to go out with him? You're obviously into him.

[Sapphire] It wasn't like that Lennon he was trying to be a friend.

[Lennon] Friends don't take you out for dinner and then drinking at the club Rosie.

[Sapphire] *she starts to cry harder at his nickname for her* I'm sorry Lennon it's not like I meant for this to happen. I wish you'd come home so we can talk about this in person.

[Lennon] *he licks his lips, looking to his left* I'm not coming home Rosie, I'm moving back to Oklahoma. When I come back I'm getting my stuff and leaving again.

[Sapphire] When were you planning on telling me this Lennon? You know it woulda been nice to know. Or were you just gonna up and leave without letting me know. *tears streaming down her face*

[Lennon] Come on Rosie you know I was gonna tell you.

[Sapphire] You coulda told me your were thinking about it at least Len I mean we've been together for 5 years. You're the only man I've ever been with.

[Lennon] I know Rosie that's why this is so hard. But my mom needs me and I know you don't want to leave Jagger. We can try and do that long distance stuff but unless you're gonna move here eventually it's a moot point and not even worth it. *he takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly* Can you see yourself moving to Oklahoma?

[Sapphire] *she starts to say yes and knows it'll just be a lie* No I can't see myself living anywhere but here. *she swallows hard* Can you at least come see me before leave for good. *she wipes the tears from her cheeks* I'd like to see you one last time please.

[Lennon] Yeah I'll start driving tomorrow and come see you on Saturday. So I can be back in Oklahoma by Monday.

[Sapphire] Call me when you get into town please. I love you Len.

[Lennon] I love you too Rosie *he hangs up the phone*

[Sapphire] *she lays on the bed and cries herself to sleep*
