The Phone Call
The phone rang three times before a soft feminine voice answered. "Good evening, Evans residence."
He swallowed the lump in his throat before speaking. "Hell...Hello Lily can you please meet me at our place? I need to see you."
Waiting with baited breath, he heard an annoyed sigh. "Severus I need to go to bed. I have a big day tomorrow."
It confirmed she did not want to see him and he did not blame her, he just had to tell her now before it was to late.
"Lily, please forgive me. What I had done you was a low act. I replay the incident in my head so many times and at least once a day. If I could turn back time and stop myself from calling you that name and dabbling in the dark arts I would. What I did was a dunderheaded move on my part and my world is now bleak from losing you. I love you Lily Evans and please hear me, can we start over again? Even if is friends."
The music from the radio in the background was the only response.
"Lily? Hello Lily?" Severus called out in desperation down the receiver. "Look I am sorry if this is awkward. I just need to tell you how I feel before you marry Potter tomo..."
Click and the line went dead.
