'It wasn't all that you thought it was!' ~ Alex Turner Fanfiction

2016:Part 9

I spoke to Matty everyday, I saw him on our birthday and at Christmas....I even went to a few of their gigs but I hadn't spoken to Alex in 3 years...To be honest I didn't care....he made his choice!

I tried to talk to him...but he ignored me. He never picked up the phone when I needed him. He ignored my texts...god I sound desperate but I wasn't like everyday it was like twice for a year but that was about to change.

The thing is you see....I was living back home. My mum became ill....she didn't have long left. Thank god that Matt and Bre were with My dad and I because we couldn't cope on our own. However, Matthew decided that I should call Alex since it's kinda something he should know..I didn't object so I bit the bullet and called Alex...it was the best I could do I guess.

"Hello? Who is this?" A woman's voice spoke through the phone, all I could pick up was a strong Tennessee accent.

"Uh...Hi....Is Alex there this is kind of important?" I was stumped. I thought he would've blocked my number..I wouldn't blame him if he did.

"Who is this?" The woman asked rudely.

"Matt's cousin Jasmine!" I responded, "I really need to speak to Alex!"

"Oh...yeah he doesn't want to talk to you...but I can take a message!" She genuinely sounded like a bitch she was talking down to me like I was a piece of shit.

"I...I really would rather talk to him myself it's kind of-!" Then I heard him...ha I was on speaker I could hear him loud and clear.

"Who is it Taylor?" He asked. Hmm, Taylor......that name is far too nice for someone like her...I've never met the bitch but I already don't like her.

"Matt's cousin..she said she wants to talk to you that it's important!" She acted like I wasn't on speaker.

"Oh for fucks sake!" Alex whispered before grabbing the phone and taking it off speaker. "I was ignoring you for a reason!" Wow...what a dick!

"Oh i'm sorry I won't tell you then!" I scoffed.

"What is it Jasmine!" He mumbled.

"Well....have you spoken to Matthew recently?" I asked.

"Yes...He's in Sheffield....why are you asking me can't you just message him?" He sounded done.

"Hm, yeah he isn't....he's with me in Stratford!" My voice cracked.

"Wait...you're back in Stratford...it's no-one's birthday...is everything ok?" Oh now he cares.

"I needed to tell you but I didn't want to...I thought Matt would but he clearly hasn't!" I didn't want to say it.

"Tell me what?" He sounded worried..fuck...fuck....fuck.

"My mum is dying!" I rushed it out before I didn't say anything but I cracked and started crying over the phone....to someone I haven't spoken to in three years.

"Holy shit, Jasmine!" His voice was calm and kind of soothing....I can't lie.

"She wants to see you!" I lied but it was only a white lie...cause she did want to see him but so did I.

"Jasmine...I'm so sorry...I will get there as soon a possible..I promise!" He hung up and I sank to the floor.

I didn't seem real....these past few weeks didn't seem real....like it was a nightmare I can't wake up from. I started pinching my arm hoping I would wake up in my bed in my house...that I would be safe in my tiny london house (I moved by the way but don't worry I still lived with M). But that was stupid because it wasn't a dream..It never would be...this was reality.
