I dropped the phone and ran into the kitchen.
                          
“Mom” I was crying.
                          
“What’s the matter?” She came over and started hugging me.
                          
“John.” That was all I could get out.
                          
“What about John? Did something happen to him?”
                          
“No. He cheated on me!”
                          
“What?”
                          
“You heard what I said.” I was sobbing at this point.
                          
“Ok. Calm down and maybe we can work this out. Who did he cheat with?”
                          
“Rebecca.” I said with hate in my voice.
                          
“I’m not sure I know her.”
                          
“She’s only been here for a couple of weeks.” I was finally starting to calm down.
                          
“Well, if grandma and grandpa don’t mind, we’ll call John over and talk to him.”
                          
“We don’t mind” grandma said. I could tell she wasn’t as mad now.
                          
“Mom, I don’t wanna talk to him. He’s a jerk!”
                          
“I know, but it’s the best thing to do.”
                          
“Fine.”
                          
“Go call him.” Mom said.
                          
“I’m not calling him! You call him.” I said.
                          
“Ok. Whatever. What’s his number?” She said as she got her phone out of her purse.
                          
“555-5375”
                          
“Hi John, this is Lexi’s mom. Me, Lexi, and her father would like you to come over…” She paused. “Ok. Bye.”
                          
“He’ll be over in 10 minutes.” She said.
