697 days to be precise
It was..
3 minutes after the verdict was read in the Crown vs. Max Hastings
When the text came through,when she SAW the text. Her hand where shaking so much she thought she was surprised she didn't drop her phone.
Ravi
Hey sarge , remember me?
How could I forget?
how could i after everything we went through. But It felt unreal like a fever dream. One that I have wished for over and over again for it to be real. And now it is. I've had nightmares of the police knocking on my door Pippa Fitz-amobi your under-arrest for the murder of Jason Bell and the frame-up of max Hastings "(frame-up meaning to to deliberately make someone seem guilty of a crime when they are not guilty bye lying to the police ori n a court of law or to set to someone up. Apparently). dreams where max Hastings finds me and kills me. What was it that i said to him all that time ago. Oh yeah. ' you're lucky I didn't put you in the ground too'. My phone lights up with a single message
Ravi
Are available to call?
My fingers move before I ever finished reading the text
It rings twice before he picked up.
One two
'Hello sarge'
'Ravi' it felt like a Wight was taken off my chest and it felt like I could breathe for the first time in a year
'We did it' a sob of relief ripped out my throat before I could stop it
'Yea, we did it' chuckled ravi 'god I missed you'
'Me too' I laughed, gods it felt good to hear his voice after so long. 'How long has it-' '1 year, 8 months and 16 days, 692 days' gods he didn't even have to finish asking. She'd been keeping count. He chuckled 'thought you'd be keeping count, nerd' 'that's queen nerd to you' gods it felt good to hear his voice and talk to him instead of some ghost or whatever it was her brain managed to create to try and keep her from losing it. 'So how have you been, and don't lie' 'honestly I've been better, I've missed all of you guys' 'hm,' I could practically hear the eye roll 'I've missed you too, you should probably talk to them soon your parents have been ask me if I've' heard from you, they are worried about you' 'yea I should probably talk to them' I paused. gods her heart clenched at the thought at them. Oh gods,
her brother, josh, gods when was the last time she talked to him or any one else for that matter, oh, she's going to have to find away to apologise to all of them with seeming suspicious.the need to cry crawled it's way up her throat, tearing it apart ( metaphorically of course) 'I'm sorry ' her broke off with a sob 'I'm so sorry ' she repeated 'I'm so freaking sorry, with the way we- I left things off, i ' she hesitated, ' just go for it her brain screamed at her ' ' i love you, and I really would love to get back together but I completely understand if you don't, even tho i left for everyone's safety, YOU'RE safety i feel like crap thinking abou it' 'pip' 'you must think I'm a terrible girlfriend, friend, whatever 'PIP' ravi shouted 'pip' he repeated 'i love you to, and I would love to get back together with you, and I accept your apology, I accepted it long ago, I love you, i couldn't imagine a future without you, gods I love you' he laughed 'Good, well good that you want to get back together with and I love you too ' I turned my head,
my eyes catching the time 12:50 ' oh well I'm not going to sleep any time soon and lucky it's was the weekend' she thought. 'So, how have you been ' 'well apart from missing you, I've been well, in fact I've got a job, part time. While I finish up school' 'Good, good so how have the other been, like cara and all that' 'cara got a teaching place at the school I can't remember the name of, naomi has gone of for work in the next town over' 'that's great, I'll have to get something for them when I do vist' I told him ' so how's my parents doing, how josh doing' I asked cutting off what ever he was going to say. ' you're parents are doing fine, you're dad's still working so is your mum, josh is still playing football, he's even gotten into little Kilton Grammar school surprisingly.' 'Oh , that's great' I was surprised. I never in a million years thought josh would go to the same Grammar school I went to, where all this had started.'yea' an awkward silence had made its way between us. I mean How could it not? I haven't spoken to him for a year, thats 692 days without my rock, I've been a mess without him, it's now 1:01 in the morning 'hey I have to go to bed I have work in the morning' ' on the weekend' I asked , disappointed I wanted to listen to him speak for an eternity, because that's how long it felt I've spent with out him. 'Yea my boss won't let me have the day off, because apparently we're shot staffed' a pause 'so speak to you tomorrow ' he asked? 'Yea, see you tomorrow ' 'goodnight' 'night'
A dial, he'd hung up, I layed down, with a smile on my face, I couldn't believe it I was free, no more stopping when i could police sirens, thinking there coming for me, well hopefully at last, maybe max Hastings could escape or maybe they realised a mistake we made when framing him. All these what if scenarios ran through my bran, like they had a thousand times before, 'stop it, you did it, there is no need for these types of thoughts any more' a faint voice told me, it sounded like ravi's but It was distorted, 'maybe he was fading, now that I've talked to the real ravi' I thought I suddenly sat up, 'I've got to phone my dad' i picked up my phone from where is was laying. And clicked my dad's contact, it escaping my notice that he was probably asleep. It rang four times, before a tired voice came through 'pickle?' 'Dad' I almost sobbed with relief, 'whats wrong 'he asked 'nothing, I just missed you that's all, did I wake you?' ' 'no, never 'he replied 'have you heard max Hastings has been found guilty of the murder of Jason Bell?''I asked I wanted to know his opinion on the matter 'really when did that happen 'he asked '12:47 ' I replied ' hm ,well I guess we're capable of something other people don't think about ' my heart clenched. 'Yea I guess so' 'hey listen popsicle it's' a pause '1:09 in the morning I'll have to talk to you in the morning ' 'oh um yea goodnight talk to you in the morning ' 'goodnight'.
I put my phone on the night stand. And walked over to my desk, it was a mess, like me. I decided to clean it up as It wasn't likely I would be sleeping for for a little while. I cleaned up the paper, through away the scraps and was left with all the important bits of working need. Plus my laptop. Then I decided to clean my room, put all dirty clothes in the laundry basket, picked up all the rubbish even fromunderneathmybed, empty the bin inro a black bag, and hoved, hoped the other going to be to mad at me.aftwr I finished all that ut was 1:45. I sighed. I was hoping to avoid doing this. I walked over to my night stand and went through my drawer and grabbed a thing of sleeping pill prescribed. Put my phone on charge and got a glass of water. Took a gulp and swallowed the pills and laid down in my bed pulling the covers up . For once it felt i could actually breathe
I was asleep in minutes
