Part 7

Still with a sleepy head I walked to my mom.
*yawns* "who's on the phone, mom?"
"I.. I don't know." She tried to smile to me and she hid something. I can always tell when my mom's lying because we have a good mom and daughter relationship. But I just couldn't understand why she was lying to me. I asked her a few more questions but I didn't get a straight answer. Instead of that, she gave me the phone.

"Hello, who is this?"
"Well, it's me. You know... Bill?"
"Oh.." I said trying not to sound sad or something. "Hi Bill. how have you been...?"
"I have been eh.. good, Thanks for asking. And you?"
I didn't want to say that I had missed him and that I cried over him. That I tried to have a new start without him. I didn't want to sound weak..
"I have been good as well. But why are you calling...?"
"I just wanted to know how you were..."
"Okay... you know now." But that wasn't the only thing, was it? I wanted to say. I was angry and sad and more because of him. And he finally called me? After that long..
"Yes..." there was something in his voice that told me to punch the anger feelings in his face and wait.
"Alright... there's something more." He broke the silence with this. It made me curious as fuck but I needed to be relaxed.
"If you aren't going to call or even just text me after this call..."
"I'm sorry, alright. I needed time alone to think."
"Think about what? Avoiding contact with me? We were becoming friends. Why would you avoud a friend?!" I lost my temper and maybe I shouldn't have lost it. But it was already to late. So I had to listen to what he had to say.
"Are you okay? I thought you had been good lately."
"Can you just answer my questions and not twist everything?"
"I need to think about us..."
"Us? Since when is there an us?!"
"Sorry, I just..." when I heard a little sadness in his voice, which he was clearly trying to hide, I felt sorry for him and al my anger was gone in a second.
"No. I'm sorry. I wasn't okay. I love you. You know that! You read that postcard. You made me so happy and then... then you just ripped out my heart. You could've just sent me a text and say that you just needed time to think, or whatever.."
" Yeah. You are right, I had to call. But it's noe too late and.. and I want to make it up to you. Because I regret what I've done and I just want a new start.. a new start with you."
