"No one's around leave a message."

I stop my string of sit ups and listen.

Part of me hopes that it's Max. We haven't talked much since I told her I loved her. I'm not surprised. Damn her.

"Hey it's me leavin a message. I haven't heard from you in awhile. Just checkin in, hoping your ok...."

Part of me is thrilled to hear her voice, but that part is relativly small right now. I know it's not her fault, that Manticore messed with her so much. I know it's not her fault that because of it she has a hard time trusting or giving her heart away. But hell I wanted her to say those words, I still do, and I can't help but feel bitter about it.

"Alright...um...take it easy."

The click of her phone is so final.

I'm determined now more then ever to block out her voice. I start my reps again.

If I wasn't busy I would have answered the phone.

At least that's what I tell myself.

But I know otherwise.
