Chapter Six:

We waited,
minutes,
to hours,
to days...
it'd been three weeks now.

Eraser head still hadn't come back.

I opened my phone.
No messages.
No notifications.
Nothing.

The media had calmed down about what had happened

I sat in the back room just a desk
and books around me.

My hands shakily hit 'call'.

He didn't pick up the phone and cancelled the call.

I tried calling him again.

He canceled.

I wasn't going to give up
trying to reach him until he blocked me.

On my eighth try he picked up.

Silence on his end.
No words at all.

I sighed.
"It's been three weeks, feels familiar doesn't it?" I asked.

Still silence.

"Listen, if you're staying quiet 'cause you're  expecting a big long drawn out apology. Forget it"
I said.

He stayed silent but didn't hang up.

"Leo's doing well... always felt like a child to me" I said, chuckling to myself.

"I'm tired and sleepless as usual...
but you wouldn't care about that."
I said, not knowing how this one sided conversation would continue.

Leo walked in,
I pet him and heard his purring.

I heard clicking on Eraser Heads end of the phone.

Leo's purring must be loud on his phone.

Hearing the clicking must be him turning down the volume.

Meaning he has headphones on,
calling me.

I felt Leo curl up on my lap and fall asleep.
Soft snoring from Leo.

Still more endless silence on Eraser Head's end of the conversation.

"I'm not going to try and fix our broken whatever we call this."
I said, not crying and not caring what he thinks anymore.

"I know I've tried to fix it, and I don't even know if you're listening but I honestly don't care..." I finished.

I heard the rusting of a bed cover,
he must have a day off.
Either that or I really did end his career...

"I'll ask a few questions. I don't expect you to answer or really say anything, either way I don't care. I'm just trying to forget you."
I bluntly confessed.

"Did you ever really care or was all this just a bullshit joke to you?
If you could have broken up with me sooner then would you have?
Did you really get all those cats to remember me or was that also a lie?
Do you think in some impossible world this could've worked out?
If you could've gone back and cancel the job you met me at, would you have done it?
Do you think I still love you?
Do you think I still care?
Do you think I want you still?
Do you think I'll break eventually?
Do you want me to run back into your arms?"

The last question was just to get it off of my mind.
Even if I wouldn't get an answer.

Suddenly I heard more rustling,
then him clearing his throat.

"No matter what I'll say you won't believe that I loved you.
I wouldn't have broken up with you.
That was a lie, I got all those cats to distract me from the pain of breaking up.
I think in some impossible world this could've worked out, I just regret that it didn't.
Yes, I think if we met outside of work it wouldn't have brought so many problems to our relationship.
Yes, I do think you still love me...
No, I don't think you still care...
No, I don't think you want me still...
No, I don't think you'll break eventually, unless it's after I do...
...
yes I do want you to run back into my arms.
But I know no matter how much I wish this relationship could've worked out it didn't,
I need my job and right now I need to stop the people you work for and beside.
No feelings will stop that,
I can't let our relationship suddenly
stop my life"
He said, as equally harsh.

It was my turn to stay silent.

"In my dead heart you're my kitten,
in reality you're just an obstacle I need to overcome"
He finished.

"I'm glad you've gotten over me.
Now I can finally move on in my life.
Knowing this never ending nightmares done.
Now I've got nothing but Leo to care about"
I said.

"Did it hurt hearing you say that?
No, not at all.
Do I believe that you loved me? No.
Do I love you? No."
I said, releasing all the weight off of my shoulders finally after ten years.

"With that said, I'll move on.
My life will be the same as before,
changing the hero society and looking for someone to love me the way you never did."
I said, my heart closing off.

"There's only one mistake I made.."
He said.

"What's that."
I said.

"...Not being the lover you always wanted,
instead I was the one thing holding you back.
A burden people wish they could get rid of."
He said.
Hanging up.

Leaving me in silence.
