Chapter 11
“What do you want, Bill? I don’t have time for this.”
He stood, scowling at her. “Did you think I wouldn’t find out about you planning to move? Amelia told Lafayette, it’s practically all over town. You know he can’t keep a secret to save his life. What the fuck are you thinking, Sookie? I know you’re upset about what happened with us, but I never thought you would stoop this low. Moving to a fucking city where you don’t know anyone, and all for some guy you just met? Do you think he really cares about you? I know he has kids; all you’ll ever be to him is someone to dump the brats on when he can’t handle them anymore. A guy like that isn’t the commitment type, I know I messed up, but I can give you everything he can’t. No one will ever love you like I do.”
To say Sookie was angry would be an understatement. She now had everyone’s attention on them, including Sam who came out from the kitchen to see what all the commotion was about. Sookie hated her ex even more in that moment. He was always making a fool of her, but this ended here. “You don’t know anything about him, or me for that matter. Eric is a kind hearted man; he loves his kids more than anything in this world. If you ask me, you’re the one who knows nothing about love. I would have given you everything, but you threw it all away on that slut. Well, you can have her for all I care. I’m moving whether you like it or not, Eric and I are going to be happy together. I hope for your sake this is the last time we see each other. I won’t be so generous next time.”
Sookie took her apron off, throwing it to the floor, turning to see the stunned look on Sam’s face. “Sorry, Sam, guess I have to resign sooner than I thought. Oh, one more thing,” she said, pulling back her fist and slugging Bill right in the jaw. It most likely hurt her more than him, but it was all worth it to see the shock written on his features. “That was for calling my girls brats. Have a nice life, you arrogant prick.” Sookie walked out then, a smile firmly in place. She was finally ready to begin a new chapter in her life, one without Bill Compton, and she couldn’t be happier.

“It is so good to hear your voice.”
Eric chuckled on the other line, wishing more than anything that he could see her right now, but he wouldn’t be getting his new web cam until the next day. “I take it things aren’t going too well on your end. Are your friends giving you a hard time?”
Sookie let out a sigh. “More or less, I mostly got crap from Bill, but that’s nothing I can’t handle.”
He growled. “What did that fucker say to you?”
She was taken aback, not used to hearing Eric sound so angry, but had to admit that it was a major turn on. “Nothing much, just gave me shit about how I’m making a mistake. You’re just using me to have someone to pawn your kids off on, blah blah blah, it’s nothing I took seriously. I’m currently sitting here with an icepack on my hand, though.”
“What happened? Did he hurt you?”
Sookie shrugged, even though he couldn’t see her. “No, it was my fault. I kind of broke my hand on his face. The jerk had it coming and believe me, the pain is so worth it.”
Eric laughed. “My little warrior, remind me not to piss you off.”
“Please, I’m not stupid enough to actually hit a guy your size.”
He smiled, changing the subject away from her ex-boyfriend. “The girls are always asking about you. I think next time we should arrange it so they’re awake when you call, I know they would love to talk to you.”
“I would like that, too,” Sookie claimed. “I didn’t mean to call this late, but it’s been a horrible day. I needed to hear your voice before I went to bed.”
“You won’t get any complaints from me, but I should probably let you go now. I have an early day tomorrow.”
She pouted, but decided that he was right. It was getting pretty late. “Okay, I’ll talk to you later. I miss you.” Sookie prayed that she didn’t seem too needy, but never even had to worry.
“I miss you as well, dear one. Get some rest; I’m going to write you a long e-mail. That way you have something to look forward to when you wake.”
Her insides felt all fluttery at that, and after exchanging quick good nights, they both hung up.
Sookie lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling. The apartment was too quiet, and she never truly felt alone until that moment. She couldn’t wait to be back with Eric, it was that thought which helped her drift off to a peaceful sleep.

“Holy crap, I can’t believe you hit Bill. I would have paid anything to see that.”
Sookie glared at her. “It wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t go blabbing to the town’s biggest gossip about my plans. The news hardly even took a day before it reached him. He made a scene right in the middle of Merlotte’s, now everyone thinks I’m some pathetic loser who has to move to the big city just for a guy. Do you know how desperate I must have sounded to them?”
Amelia shrugged. “I’m sorry, Sook, I didn’t think about that. Why do you even care what these people think? You’ll be leaving soon, anyway, and then you won’t have to see them ever again.”
She let out a calming breath. “I don’t really care, but I grew up in this town. I just hate knowing I’ll be leaving that impression of me behind. It doesn’t matter anymore, what’s done is done. I just want to put that day behind me and move forward. Oh, I didn’t tell you about the e-mail Eric sent me. It was so sweet. I know he just wanted to make me feel better, but it was definitely what I needed.” Sookie took out the e-mail that she printed, handing it over to her friend.
Amelia’s eyes widened once she finished reading, giving Sookie an envious look. “I officially hate you. I mean it; you’ve managed to find one of the nicest men in the world. That’s it, I’m moving to New York with you. Are they all like him over there?”
Sookie laughed. “I doubt it, Eric’s one of a kind. He’s from Sweden, though, you might have better luck up there.”
“God, how I envy you, it’s just not fair. All jokes aside, you’re really lucky, Sookie. I know I was all cynical about this whole thing in the beginning, but I think you’re making the right decision. Any chance he sent you a picture with that e-mail? I’m dying to see what he looks like.”
She shook her head. “No picture, but you’ll get the chance. He just got a new web cam, and I’m finally setting up the one Gran gave me on my last birthday. We’ll be video chatting tonight if you wanted to join us, but only for a minute. I’d like some alone time with him.”
Amelia beamed at that, clapping her hands in glee. “Awesome, I can’t wait to see the stud that managed to sweep you off your feet. By the way, and I hate to be a complete downer, but you need to talk to Jason. He hasn’t been getting you on your phone, so he’s been calling mine nonstop. I’m about to unplug the damn thing.”
Sookie groaned. “Right, I forgot about Jason, he’s not going to take this well.”
Amelia scoffed. “Like he has any room to talk, he gives you grief, you just throw everything he’s done right back in his face. Jason is the ultimate manwhore, now he’s knocked up a former exotic dancer and about to marry her just because she’s carrying his child. Believe me, there’s no love between those two. I even heard she was seeing someone else on the side, it’s just not right.”
Sookie had to agree with that. Her brother hadn’t made one good choice in his whole life. What right did he have to judge hers?
