Just Something about You

Part 25 - Crying out for help

Friday morning woke Millie to the sound of her alarm, she felt like she'd only been asleep for a an hour, how could it be 6am and time to go already.

She squinted through her heavy eyelids to see the time. 3.48am.

She looked at her phone, it wasn't her alarm, someone was calling her. She sat up in bed, thinking it must be Dex forgetting the time difference, her eyes wouldn't focus to make out the name on the screen.

"Uh, hello" she just managed to make herself heard, her voice was still sleeping somewhere inside.

"MILLIE!.." he shouted, he sounded fucked.

"What do you want Jesse it's 4am!" she snapped, feeling like he was probably just trying to wind her up.

"You told Cat I'm still on the gear didn't you!!" blasted Jesse, obviously fuelled by drugs and alcohol

"What?!" Asked Millie, still half asleep and utterly unprepared for interrogation at this hour.

"And you told her I fucked that girl band girrrl!" He added, slurring his words.

"Jesse there are photos of you with that girl in magazines here, I didn't tell her anything. I don't even have her number and why would I care what you're doing?" Millie retaliated, completely not in the mood for his shit, especially that this hour.

"I know you've fucking said something to her!" He shouted

"Why are you so angry all the time" she asked

"I'm angry because my fiancé has left me tonight because of all the shit you've been telling her!" He blasted

"I haven't told her anything! If she's left that's because of the shitty way you treat her or perhaps because you cheated on her!" Millie replied

"Not this again Millie! This, this is the reason I don't like you! You're like all the others! You go out with Dex and you think that gives you divine rights to know everything about us all. You're a fan Millie, you're no fucking different. You're just a fan and when this little thing is over with Dex, you'll go back to being a nobody again and sell all your inside stories for a quick buck! You need to butt out!" raged Jesse.

Woah! So the truth finally comes out she thought. Millie was in shock, she was always anticipating him snapping, with every single thing she said to him, but when he did she wasn't quite expecting that.

"Err, I'm sorry, but you rang me, if you think that of me why are you calling me at all?" she quickly responded. Jesse let out a deep breath as if he has been keeping that rant inside for a long time and it felt good to release it.

Millie was quiet for a moment

"I haven't said anything to Cat, or anyone else, why would I? I don't give a shit what you're doing with anyone and I wouldn't say anything, not for you, but for Dex, he doesn't need his band torn apart because of selfish assholes like you.
I'll stay out your way Jesse but you don't know me at all. I'm not a fan, certainly not a fan of yours! And I'm Dexter's girlfriend and I'm going to be around for a long time yet so if you don't like it, tough shit....." She continued

"And, just so you know, I am not the kind of girl to sell a story, I'm with Dex because I love him, not for who he is or what he does or what I can get out of it. In fact I hate what he does! Have you ever thought about it from my side of the table... better still from Cat's side of the table. Half the population hate me! Not one of them knows me but still they hate me. I get a constant stream of abuse from girls, you only have to type my name into Twitter and it's an endless stream of how ugly I am, how fat I am, how I'm not good enough for Dex, what girl Dex is cheating on me with this week, it's all over the internet, all over the magazines, my family and the whole world read intimate details about me and my relationship. I get abuse shouted at me in the street from 14 year old girls!!! Believe me, I am not here because I want to be.." As Millie gained confidence to say what she wanted to say to Jesse she could feel her emotions taking over, her eyes began to well up and she could feel her bottom lip quiver don't cry, don't cry she told herself,
