«Ticket and passport miss».
I'm finally boarding for LA. I am among the first in line for business class, I will have plenty of time to phone Hero before the other passengers get on.
I show the documents and head to the plane. Once I have climbed in and placed the smallest luggage, I take my place in the comfortable seat of the business.
The seat next to mine is obviously empty, tears come to my eyes.
Now I call him.
It rings and he answers after five seconds.
«Jo» he says clearing his throat, have he been crying?
«Hi. You... you're not coming, are you?» I manage to say with a broken voice.
«No, it's late now. I thought you didn't want to be with me».
«Indeed, okay. Bye, it was a mistake to call you».
«No no, wait...» I hang up the phone in his face and put it in airplane mode, he would call me back countless times.
I'm confused. I thought he would come looking for me at any cost, I didn't think he would give up so easily.
He did a horrible thing.
How could he record our moans, our passion and spread it as if nothing had happened?
I still wonder why. Why did he do it?!
I want to know everything, but I'm afraid. I'm afraid what the reason might be, I'm afraid it might hurt me too much.
I'm here alone, immersed in my thoughts, a broken heart would be dangerous without even a friend by my side.
Now it's broken, but not completely, I might be able to go on, but if he breaks it definitely I won't get out...
I feel I miss him already.
Four hours of flight aren't many, but in this situation they will seem more to me, among all the thoughts that whirl in my head.
