Miles Inbetween
Amber and Malachi had once been an intimate couple. Sadly, it all went down hill when senior year started to come to a close. She was headed out of town and later was to move to New York, he was staying to go to Temple and planned to go wherever the wind would take him.
When she finally gets the courage to call him up after so long, what is she to expect? Has time healed the heart that she broke; or is she the only one who is truly in pain. . .
"Oh hello, Amber, we haven't heard from you in a while. Are you enjoying the college life?"
I held the phone tightly to my ear, "It's different, I'll say that much." I let out an awkward laugh.
"How's Malachi?"
My breath caught. "Um... I don't exactly know. That's why I called."
"But didn't he move in with you?"
"N-no..." I couldn't hide the stutter that welded its way out of my throat.
"He said that he had moved in with his girlfriend. We had just assumed that that had been you."
There was a moment of silence before I answered her again. "Well that's kind of why I called. Can you give me his number? I don't have it in my phone anymore..."
