(Sry I got behind but don't worry I'll get to y'all soon. And wow look at how many reads there are!!!! ヽ(´∀`)ノ thanks so much guys!! Enjoy!)Edwards POV
After that odd phone call I go about my day. But a bad feeling stirs in me the entire time. There are too many questions that I deserved to know the answer to. Sure, I could outright demand them from her but she's different, she's a challenge. Usually, if there's something she doesn't want me to know I'll never find out from her until needed. No, I'm like a kid before Christmas trying to sneak the presents early.
I'm able to get some work done, for once, everybody has been pestering me to do what I'm supposed to rather than spending time with Loreli. But hey, they can go screw themselves, so long as I, 'The Riddler', am happy there's no issue. Sadly though, even The Riddler can become bored. So because of this I decide to make the most of it and call a friend.
*Time skip*
"Hey Jonathan. Glad you could make it." I greet and let him in.
"Uh-huh. So what's this all about?"
"Loreli."
"Oh, you're still with her? How long has it been a month or so?" he asks but sounds uninterested.
"A month, a week, 2 days and 16 hours..." Jonathan looks at me blankly. "...I'm assuming."
Jonathan rolls his eyes, "So there is a reason you brought me here right?"
"I can't just call you here to talk?"
"Not usually."
"Yeah you're right." I lean further back in my chair while Jonathan insists on standing. "I need you to help me figure out what's wrong with Loreli. When I called her she sounded different. She sounded stressed."
"And what am I supposed to do about this?"
"Well you used to be a psychiatrist right? Give an evaluation."
"You want me to be your girlfriends shrink? I'm not sure how great of an idea that is. Plus I have more important things to do..."
"Oh, right. Your mystery patient." I make quotations in the air. "Eventually, I'd like to meet her."
"What makes you so sure it's a she?" he raises an eyebrow.
"I just know. You're a bit different too. And now she's your excuse for everything. Kinda like how I've been with Loreli. You might not talk about her but I can tell you desperately want to." I smile. Jonathan smirks and shakes his head. That's probably a form of blushing for him. "Look I-" The phone rings, I don't bother on checking the number, "Yellow." Ah puns.
"Oh thank god! Edward you answered!"
Hold on I know this voice from somewhere...? Where do I know this-ah! Carry! Loreli's friend. Only she sounds more frantic than usual. "Carry? What's going on? What's wrong?!"
"It's Loreli!! She's passed out! And she won't wake up!"
I stand up, my chair falls over and the clatter of it echos my house. Jonathan is shocked by my reaction, "Edward? What is it?"
"Carry, where are you?!"
"I'm at her house, the door was wide open. And I'm sorry I didn't know what to do!" she sobs.
"Stay there I'm coming!" I hang up the phone and grab my coat.
"You gonna tell me what's going on?!?" Jonathan asks angered at not knowing.
