The One Where I Couldnt Be Alone

Cont’d as requested;

The loud ringing grew as i stumbled across the bed in search of the nuisance of an alarm.

“What the……….”  for a moment i couldn’t even begin to tell apart reality from dream. I immediately jolted out of bed and scurried along, knowing that whatever events about to take place would just drag my time futher.

The day went as it normally would. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, until i almost reached home. From the path i was walking i could see ever so clearly the place where i called home. It was dark, not unusual with both of my parents working. Somehow i felt like i just couldnt bear being alone for another night so i called Adam.

Within seconds of ringing, i felt a tinge of regret. ‘Shit, why did i have to call him of all people…’ i mumbled quietly. But as soon i spoke a shy and quiet ‘Hello’ was heard….

It sounded like i had just distubed his peace…’Errr hi, am i bothering you?’ i said in the intent that he could probably say no so that i wouldn’t  feel like a complete loser.

‘No, of course not….hmm i was wondering when you would finally call me.’ he said sheepishly. Ahh the voice i grew to love. How could i be so stupid to let him go.

‘Eh, everything ok?” he asked again for i had been so absorbed into my own thoughts to realise that i had completely forgotten that i was on the line with another human being.

‘Ya, i just wanted to talk thats all’….. Sadly that was the best excuse i could come with.
