Please hang up and try again.

What!?What is going on here? I can’t hang up now, people who are waiting for the phone are gonna take it away from it once I hang up. If you’d like to make a call.

Since when did these things become so god dam complicated? Each number pressed leaves my head in dire need of a pain killer or something along those lines. That dam voice again! I remember when a phone call was only quarter, now I just pray as I reach into my pocket that I have enough change left. I really need to get through.

        I can hear he is uneasy with the whole situation, “Come get you? I can’t come get you! I’m extremely fucked up at the moment.”

Oh great, I thought that I could depend on him just at least once! “You have to come,” I say, practically begging, “Olivia’s gone!” I hang up on ...
