Chapter 50 - Just A Phone Call Away
Would it be okay if I called you? E
And then again, signalling the
arrival of another one.
Friends call each other, right? I don’t know anymore… E
Even in his simple texts I could
feel his confusion and heartache, and it made the pain in my chest intensify.
Instead of thinking about the consequences or texting him an answer, I let my
thumb hover over his name before pressing the call button.
It only rang two times before he
picked it up.
“Hey,” he whispered, his voice
hoarse.
My throat completely closed over
at the sound of his broken voice and the silence amplified the beating of my
heart in my chest.
“Bella?” he asked, concern taking
over in his tone, giving me the push I needed to actually answer him.
“Hi…” I sounded pathetic, but I
had no idea how unprepared I was for so simple a thing as a phone call until it
was happening.
His answering sigh let me know
that even my pathetic greeting was enough. It helped ease the pain slightly,
knowing that even the sound of my voice seemed to make whatever he was going
through even a little more bearable.
“You’re not busy are you?”
I held back the laugh that wanted
to bubble out of me. Since I’d cut him out of my life, I’d barely been able to
fill up the hours in my day.
“Oh, you know. Lying in the dark
contemplating life…” I wanted to face-palm so badly, but held it back and bit
my tongue. I wasn’t quite sure how Edward would take such a strange answer.
When there was no answer, I
whispered his name into the darkness, relishing the way my skin tingled and my
mouth dried up at the mere mention of his name after so long.
“Tell me,” I whispered, no longer
afraid to hear just exactly what he was going through. If either of us was
going to make it out the other side, we’d need to be strong enough to face
things head on.
“Every time I close my eyes I
have a nightmare. It’s usually the same one…my crash, only you’re in the car,
too, and no matter what I do, I can’t get you out in time. I can’t close my
eyes without hearing you screaming, I can’t sleep without waking up screaming
myself. Kate says I need to feel it, but there’s only so many times I can
handle the thought of you dying only to wake up and realize it didn’t happen,
Bella.”
****Ahhhhh, thank you all individually from the bottom of my heart if you're still with me on this! Your patience has been tried and tested many times! xxxxxx
