Based on the song Dark Come Soon by Tegan and Sara. South meets CT at a party and falls for her. CT doesn't feel the same.
It was 9:30 PM. She fiddled with the phone in her hands, trying to decide if she should call again. She had already called this girl many times. Sixty two times. She kept count. All her calls from the past two weeks had gone to voicemail. Who was this girl she was calling? Someone she met at a party, and instantly fell for. "Love at first sight" if you want to call it that. But it wasn't that simple.
-Two weeks ago-
She walked around the crowded house party, a beer in her hand. She hardly knew anyone there. She was just walking around when she saw her. The girl was sitting on a chair, fiddling with a photography camera. She smiled and walked over to her, a little more confident than usual with the liquid courage in her.
"Hey there." She said, her voice raised so it could be heard over the music. "I'm South." The girl looked up and smiled. "I'm CT. Nice to meet you." South smiled and took another sip of her beer. "I just wanted to tell you that you're freaking gorgeous." CT smiled. "Thank you."
The girls talked for a while, discussing interests, mutual friends, etc. At the end of the night, they exchanged numbers. South went home with a grin plastered on her face.
The next night, South called CT. She would have called during the day, but her phone plan only allowed unlimited calls after nine. She always used to say dark couldn't come soon enough for her. So, she placed the call around nine. The girls talked for a while before South said something she wished she hadn't.
"CT, I really like you. Like, I would like to go on a date with you." There was a long pause on the other end of the line. South was about to check to see if the call had dropped when she heard CT's voice again. "South, I have to go." The line went dead.
-Present day-
South continued to fiddle with her phone. She dialed CT's number. Call number sixty three. A voice was heard on the other end, but it wasn't CT's. "I'm sorry. The number you have called has been disconnected." South slowly pulled the phone away from her ear and hit the end button. She let the phone drop. Her brother North, who shared an apartment with her, walked in at that moment. "South?" She didn't say a word. North tried to approach her, but she quickly stood and went to the bathroom, locking herself in. North picked up the phone and looked through the call history. All of the calls were placed to CT. North just stood there in silence, listening to his twins muffled sobs pour out from under the bathroom door.
