NINETEEN SEVENTY-NINEMichael
Day 3
All I had was one more day until I left Indiana.
The excitement I once had was completely gone now.
It dwindled into the ashes of nothing, and it was
my fault. I fucked up big this time, and I knew in my heart, there was no coming back. I laid restlessly against my bed with a telephone pressed against my ear. Abhaya's number was on speed dial, and I had been calling her at every little second of the hour. I had called over 100 times, and she had yet to pick up a single one."I hate you so much that if you died...I wouldn't even cry at your fucking funeral."
Those words were stuck in my mind. Imprinted
inside of my head like a tattoo. It's all I could ever really think about. Abhaya hated me. She truly did.I placed my hands over my eyes as I felt myself in the midst of crying once again.
My eyes were swollen and red. My nose was runny.
I looked horrible but felt even worse on the inside. I felt like something inside of me had died. How would I make it in this world knowing that the only girl I have ever truly loved didn't love me anymore? I lost more than just a girlfriend. I lost my best friend. I lost my other half. I lost my soulmate.And it was all my fault.
The sound of the telephone ringing grasped my attention within an instant. I wiped my tear-filled
eyes and slightly sniffled before answering.Please let this be Abhaya.
But it wasn't; it was Lily.
"Michael, baby?" She said.
I deeply sighed as I pinched the bridge of my noise.
"Lily, what do you want?" I said coldly. I didn't want to hear her voice or even think about her.
"I've been calling you all day and yesterday. I know that you leave tomorrow afternoon, and I wanted to take you somewhere lovely tonight before you go."
She said.
I shook my head at the thought. "Lily, the night we shared a few nights ago was a mistake, alright. Just leave me the fuck alone." It went silent on the other line for a few seconds before suddenly I heard some crying on the other end. Not that I cared.
