LEILA
.
.
The silence in the apartment was broken by the insistent ringing of my phone, intrusive sound that grated on my nerves, a reminder of the outside world, a world I had shut myself off from completely, I looked at the screen, and Damien’s name flashed on my screen.
I kept declining, hitting the reject button, again and again, I wasn’t in the right frame of mind, not knowing what my next reaction could be, it actually was better I stayed out.
Unable to speak to him, unable to face him, unable to let anyone in, not today, not on this day.
The phone stopped ringing and the silence returned.
And then my phone chimed, highlighted this name with a text. I was going to ignore it but I opened it.
I understand how you feel and I’m not going anywhere, I’ll be out here, waiting.
