Chapter Ten
Song: You're Not There- Eddplant
Time seems to pass far slower than ever before. An awaited text seems to never come. I sit by my phone every evening, waiting for the text that could lift the lead weight from my heart and lungs to no avail. The days pass slowly and I'm miserable at best without her company.
Monday.
Tuesday.
Wednesday.
No texts so far.
Thursday.
Friday.
Saturday.
Still not a peep from her.
Sunday.
Monday.
Tuesday.
This is driving me insane.
I have dutifully texted every evening but around Thursday, I stop calling. She would call me if she changed her mind. I hope she does, there's only so much uncertainty and regret that I can take.
Wednesday.
Thursday.
Friday.
Nothing but an empty inbox and a broken heart.
Saturday.
The bright sound of 'Friend Like You' by Joshua Radin draws my focus. It takes a heartbeat an a half for me to realise what this means. Shit. My phone. I drag myself across my king size bed until I can just reach my phone on the bedside table. Grasping it like a lifeline, I look at the caller id. It's her. It's not a call, just a text, but still, it's her.
Here it is, the shortest chapter in the world. I have more written, I promise. Airport wifi is annoying but it'll have to do. The songs are what I was listening to when I wrote each chapter, to keepmyself creative. All characters belong to Stephenie Meyer. Have a good day xxx :)
