The street lights flickered on and off, causing my vision to disappear than reappear again. I stuffed my pale, frozen hands in my pockets and kept walking. The only sound in the streets was my footsteps and some owls in the woods behind the houses. It was calm. Calm enough for me, at least. When a different kind of street light caught my eye. A payphone.

I'm at a payphone trying to call home. All of my change I spent on you..

I tried to shake my head and ignore it as I walked past it, but it was some sort of magnet. The dial pad calling out a series of numbers I would try to forget in every way. I gave in to it's attraction and jogged towards it. I slipped inside and picked up the phone while sliding a coin into the slot. Some buttons beeped and before I knew it, I had typed in his number.

Where have the times gone? Baby, It's all wrong. Where are the plans we made for two?

I slowly raised the phone to my ear, silently cursing myself. There's no going back now. The old phone started to ring and I got even more worried. My mind both said 'Please pick up the phone' and 'Don't pick it up'.

I know it's hard to remember the people we used to be. Its even harder to picture that your not here next to me...

The phone rang once, than a half before there was a shuffle on the other line. My face turned white when I heard his soft, deep voice.

"Yebuseyo?"

Yebuseyo..

Yebuseyo..

Zhang Yixing

I stood stunned for what seemed like a century. "Yebuseyo?" He repeated, this time clearly annoyed. It was 10 o'clock anyway.

You said it's too late to make it. But is it too late to try?

"Y-Yebuseyo?" I replied, practically choking on the words. "Who's this?" He said, the annoyance leaving his tone, becoming sweeter and softer. "..It's me." I said plainly, "DaoFei?" He hissed, making me wince and my eyes well with tears.

And in our time that you wasted all of my bridges burned down.

"Yes.." I sounded like I whimpered, but it was just because I was holding back a water fall of tears. "DaoFei, Are you crying?" Lay's voice was still smooth but still angry. It was.. Clearer too. Like he was next to me. I looked around for the sake of it and saw him standing behind me, phone in hand and his hand slowly falling from his cheek to his side.

I've wasted my nights. You turned out the lights. Now I'm paralyzed.

I felt something hot and wet fall down my right cheek, then another down the side of my face. Before I knew it his phone was on the concrete ground, multiple scattered pieces. His fist was clenched and his jaw was the same.

Still stuck in that time when we called it love. But even the sun sets in paradise.

He took one large step forward and pinned me against the wall of the red payphone box and looked my eyes straight. "What did I tell you?" Lay's voice was even smoother than before, like honey, but even angrier. "Huh?" He repeated again. His right hand was by my face and his left was by his side. "I wanted to tell you something.."

I'm at a payphone trying to call home. All of my change I spent on you...

His angry face softened a bit but still held it's tense look. "What would you want to tell me? I told you. I don't love you anymore."

His words stung me like paper cuts up the arms with a gallon of lemon juice over it. Another hot tear streamed down my face and I hit his chest with my fist lightly while mumbling gibberish which he must have heard.

"You.. Cheating.. Get.. I thought.. You actually loved.. But I was.. You wouldn't.. care.. If.. I had.. Cancer.." He held my fist and looked straight at me, his jaw dropped and his old smooth, brown eyes sparkling. "C-C-Cancer?" He breathed, letting go of me. I chuckled sarcasticly and tried to slip out the payphone door when he grabbed my arm tightly.

Where have the times gone? Baby, It's all wrong. Where are the plans we made for two?

"Just leave me along.." I tore my arm away from his grip and when I looked back, it was all blank.

Lay was gone. The only other person was the reflection of my face, red, puffy, and covered in tears. Lay wasn't there anymore. 'Lay' was just a memory, faded into the midst.

A long beep and the sound of a faint scream filled my ears. But the scream wasn't loud. It was silence. More silence than ever. Just a long, dying scream. Fading slowly but surely into the midst of.. what? Nothing?

The worst part was, he wasn't there to know I was scheduled to die now. I was scheduled to leave this planet now. I was scheduled to go to sleep and never wake up. Ever.
