I crushed the phone closer to my ears as if I could hear him better, but all that was going to cause was a bruise. I smiled as I could hear him talking himself through the conversation in murmurs. I looked across the dark room and out the window seeing the dark building across from these apartments, I really hated it here it was never light in my apartment except in the morning when you were trying to sleep and it was always dirty how hard you scrubbed at the floorboards they never cleaned.

"Alright I was wondering if you maybe wanted to hang out" he said after several minutes, but still it broke my concentration. I smiled, my heart thundered in my chest. Did he actually just say that? I asked myself in surprise and happiness all rolled up into a ball of delight.

"Um Yeah, Yeah I can" I said smiling fumbling over my words, I heard a deep exhale and Landon's buddy saying, How'd it go, what she say, From the other end of the telephone.

"Okay I can come pick you up" he said he was smiling, I could hear it though his voice, and he sounded relived and happy. My heart was still thundering in my hollow chest. I tried to steady my breaths but it didn't work the way I had planned.

"Alright, Saturday" I said I was full throttle smiling now, all I could think about was to call Alyssa, and then I remembered the fight, my heart sank. A weird feeling swept over me, I was excited and sad and more emotions just flooded through my empty body.

"Ok I'll talk to you then, bye" he said softly hanging up the phone. My phone still clutched in my hand glued up to my ear still. I took it down slowly pushing it down on the receiver and picking it back up. I looked at my small metallic clock hanging from my blank wall, 8:34 I said Alyssa's left at about 7:30 she might be ok…Maybe, I should try and phone. She'll be mad if I don't I said trying to reason with myself I slowly dialed the number to Alyssa's, it rang twice until a weak voice answered.

"Hello" it was Alyssa she sounded content now, which was better than steaming mad.

"Hey, I know you don't want to talk, but I want to apologize" I said softly trying to hide the excitement in my voice. There is still a lump in my throat though probably from my nervousness' gripped the phone, and heard a light sigh.

"It's alright, we both got a little out of hand, I just didn't think you understood how I feel about this" she said she voice was steady and constant. I could hear MTV blasting in the back round. Tristan was probably out like he usually was, I felt sorry for her she was always by herself anymore, when she wasn't over here.

"Yeah, I'm trying" my voice was dry and my throat ached now. I stood from the beat up couch and grabbed a cup from the cupboard filling it half way with water. I took a sip slowly.

"Anything interesting happen since I've been gone?" she asked she seemed happier.

"Yeah actually… Landon phoned me he wanted to hang out Saturday" I said smiling. My heart fluttered slightly, I felt like a love sick teenager again, the ones that would steal a locker bay just to make out, or have they're feet spread across the hallway to busy talking to each other to notice the lunch rush trying to muscle there way through the packed hallway just to make it to third period on time.

"REALLY!" her voice went up about four decibels like it always did when she gets upset or in this case excited.

"Yeah!" I squeaked in happiness along with her. The conversation quickly took a down turn from excited to boring, besides I was tired so we both said or goodbyes and I hung up.

I laid down in my dark apartment, I'll call the landlord to move one of these days with the moon hanging in the sky and nothing better to do than sleep. I fell into a dark sleep letting the darkness wrap me up and plunge me into night.
