Status: new. i'm super excited for this one.
Rebound
Two A.M.
The call always comes at two A.M.
I'll jolt awake, the shrill ring echoing in my small apartment, knowing full well what's coming next. Groggily, I take the phone out of its reciever and press the 'talk' button, hearing the sobs before it even reaches my ear.
"Yeah?"
My voice cracks due to lack of sleep. On the other end, a voice trembles.
"Lila? Can I come over? Sh-- she left me..."
This time it's Kyle. I hold back my sigh, his childish features flashing in my mind. Painfully, I imagined those electric blue eyes lined in red, heartbroken and in need of comfort.
"Of course Kyle. I'll be waiting."
He doesn't have to say anything more. I know the rest already. I always know.
Kyle thanks me and hangs up, the still air around me silent and suffocating. Glancing at the clock, I note that Kyle is right on time.
Lilac Jones is a rebound girl, and that's not about to change any time soon.
