Just Listen Chapter 10 Summary

  • Annabel orders a cheese pizza and has settled down to listen to the first of Owen's CDs when she hears Whitney talking to someone outside—about music. Hmm… peculiar.
  • She peeks outside, and sure enough, Owen is their pizza delivery guy. He smiles when he sees her and they start chatting about music before he has to jet off to his next delivery.
  • Whitney asks Annabel if Owen is friends with Sophie too, and Annabel reveals to her that she and Sophie had a falling out and aren't friends anymore.
  • The next morning Annabel listens to Owen's show—just like she always does—but this time she calls into Owen's radio station and he asks her if she wants to go get breakfast.
  • She heads outside and Owen picks her up with Rolly in tow. They go to get double bacon at World of Waffles and Rolly says that he has to pay every single time ever since he lost a bet.
  • He saw the girl who attacked him in self-defense class (and who he's in love with) outside a club and didn't talk to her, so now he has to pay until he sees her—and actually talks to her—again.
  • Annabel is cold so Owen lends her his jacket. After they have breakfast, he drops her off and asks her if she wants to go see a live band play next Saturday night. Wait a second—is that a date? Ooh la la.
  • They look into the glass house and see Whitney. Annabel tells Owen that Whitney has an eating disorder and that it's been hard watching her go through her treatment.
  • When she goes inside, she finds that Owen's iPod is in his jacket pocket. He'll definitely be missing that.
  • Their mom calls and Whitney says that she'll make spaghetti for them later. Annabel goes back into her room and goes through the playlists on Owen's iPod, where she finds one titled "Annabel." It includes every single song they've ever discussed with each other. Um… that's pretty romantic, Shmoopsters.
  • She goes downstairs to find that Whitney is trying to make pasta. The two sisters make dinner together for the first time in… well, ever.
