It's been 7 years since I've last seen her. The last time I saw those dark brown eyes that haunt me today. The pain her face showed the day we said goodbye. I sit on my table looking at the sunset. I regret that moment every day, my mind is bother by the memory. I still have time to call. It took me months of pledging Farkle for her number. My finger hovers over the call button until I finally press it.
I bit my lip as the ringing continues
"This is Riley Matthew's I'm sorry for missing your call. Please leave a message and I'll get right back to you!"
I sigh and close my eyes as I speak
"Hello, it's me. I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing"
I hang up as I play with my phone moving it around, taping my foot. I dial her number again
"This is Riley Matthew's I'm sorry for missing your call. Please leave a message and I'll get right back to you!"
I run my hand through my hair "Hello, can you hear me?! I'm in New York dreaming about who we used to be. When we were younger and free. I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet. There's such a difference between us and a million miles"
I hang up and I ran my hands through my hair. I'm desperate to hear her voice again. Just one word from her and I'll find peace.
It's now 10 at night, the Suns down and the moon is out. I sit on my balcony looking at the stars. Remembering what I did to cause this pain on myself because after all this years she's still part of me. I grab my phone and Dial again
"This is Riley Matthew's I'm sorry for missing your call. Please leave a message and I'll get right back to you!"
I sigh as I stare at the moon knowing she might be looking at it
"Hello from the other side..
I must've called a thousand times Riley. I'm calling To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done In the past...But when I call you never seem to be home. Please just answer!"
I feel my blood boiling as the ringing continues. I've call more times than I can count why can't she just answer.
"This is Riley Matthew's I'm sorry for missing your call. Please leave a message and I'll get right back to you!"
I hit the wall with my fist. The Same dam message. The same dam voicemail machine, I want her voice that a recording of it.
"Hello from the outside!
At least I can say that I've tried Riley! Why can't you! I'm calling to To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart! I'm sorry for that night! But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore! Just know that I hurt every single day!" I scream into the phone throwing it across the room as I feel the tears forming.
-Riley's pov-
My phones lights up again. I stare at it as the ringing continues. I know it's you Lucas, I know it's you. It's now 11 at night and you keep calling. I want to answer but I can't, I can't seem to move or speak.
The ringing stops and the voicemail comes through. I close my eyes as I press play. I can hear your scream and the pain . I'm sorry for that but I just can't forget. That night made me those hope you broke me Lucas . I can keep a conversation with you because I know I might fall again and I can't allow that.
I delete my voicemail message. I breathe in as I start recording the new one. I hope this bring you some peace because this is the only way I know how to speak.

I rush back to grab my phone. Just one more call for today. Just one more and I'll be done, I'll know that I've tried but I was too late.
The ringing continues and then my heart skips a beat. It's sent me to her voicemail but it's not the same as before.
"Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry for not answering..
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out oftown where nothing ever happenedfor you?
It's no secret that the both of us
Are running out of time now. I guess it's time to say bye
"So hello from the other side
I know you must've called a thousand times
To tell me your sorry for everything that You've done
But I never seem to be home. Just know I forgive.. Goodbye
I can feel the tears running down my face. I fall on my couch as the message ends. I finally got my answer and it broke me even more.
I whisper "goodbye Riley"
Adele's song is just perfect! I had to write about it:) I hope you guys enjoy
