My Roommate is MIA:
Sometime in between parade season and the end of March, An'na had developed a social life outside of Daniel. Ludwig hardly saw her home those days and often found himself fixing and eating dinner for himself. Whenever she did come home, Ludwig had long since gone to sleep and only knew she was there because she'd sleep on the couch. Certain nights, Felicia would keep him awake on the phone long enough for him to hear when An'na came in. Other nights, he just stayed awake himself after An'na wouldn't answer his call.
Ludwig reached for his cup of coffee without taking his eyes from the computer screen. He glanced down at the clock in the corner: 1:14 am. An'na still wasn't home and he knew she had work in the morning. He yawned and drank the last of the cold brown brew.
Sitting back in his chair, Ludwig removed his glasses and rubbed at his eyes. He needed to go to sleep soon and just hope that An'na made it home safe. He stood, taking the empty coffee mug with him into the kitchen. He glanced in the dark living room for good measure. The sofa was void of a body.
Sighing, he rinsed the cup out and placed in the dishwasher. An'na was an adult, but that didn't stop the worrisome thoughts from creeping in his mind. Anything could have happened to her. Ludwig shook his head negatively; he was being ridiculous. She would be just fine and he needn't worry.
As he walked back into his bed, Ludwig couldn't help but pick up his cell. Maybe he should call one last time, just in case. If something did happen, this could be his only chance to find out. Her battery could be at the end of its life and this call could save her. A bit dramatic, but these things have happened and for all he knew, An'na could have very well forgot to fully charge her phone before leaving the house.
"Just one last time," he assured himself, going back to the living room, phone to his ear.
It rang once, twice, three times and a fourth before going to voicemail. Well, he did try.
A/N: Happy Labor Day, America! My last Labor Day for a little while! I think, what I'm going to miss the most while in England (no pun intended) are the crazy holidays, which you can get out of work and school for! Like Mardi Gras, because you're out of classes for like a week! So, yes, go have a picnic. Enjoy some BBQ, Alfred. I'm waiting for my brother to start the grilling! LOL
