( real life )

i switched off my phone and threw it on the bed, just careful enough not to drop it on the floor. a sudden wave of sadness soon engulfed me even though i had no idea about the reason i felt that way. was it because james was feeling so low or was it because he was being a little suspicious.

the last time he felt so low was when his father really started pressuring him to give up on songwriting and be a helping hand in his business. it was james passion ever since he was a kid to be a songwriter, to pour his heart out onto the paper but his father was keen to snatch it all away.

and that's when he tried taking some  unprescribed sleep tablets which took a huge toll on his health.

the ring of my phone broke me away from my thoughts and hoping that it was james, i grabbed my phone and checked the caller id. i was disappointed to find lorenzo's name flashing on my screen but i was still excited to hear what he wanted to share.

"hey." i said, accepting the call and tried not to sound disappointed or anything.

"hello winter." he sounded excited for some reason i couldn't infer,"i just hope you aren't busy right now."

"ah no, i'm not busy." i assured him.

"oh well, i was on a call with mirko and he suggested me a brilliant idea─"

"for what?" i felt bad for cutting him off in between but i just didn't had the patience at that moment to let him finish his sentence.
