One Mistake is all it Took

Missed Messages

Mia POV:

The number written on my arm is still there.
I let out a small giggle as I can't keep myself from smiling.
Maybe he does really want to work things out.
I'm contemplating whether to call him or not, even though I know he is obviously already home.
Then again, I don't want to bug him.
So I sit here in my bed, twiddling my thumbs.. Wondering.

Mason POV:
I call a taxi and before I knew it, they were here to get me. I sat quietly in the backseat while watching everything pass. I'm going home. Finally.
I'm finally home, and I pay the taxi man and jump out. I take a deep breath as I stare at my little apartment.
Ahh. Home.
I slowly limp up the front steps and unlock the door.
It still looks the same.
There's a table next to my door when you walk in, and everything is how I left it.
I walk over to the kitchen table and check my voicemail on my landline.

"Mason. Where the fuck are you? We have our important party to attend to tomorrow. You know that. I keep driving by the house and you aren't there. WHERE DID YOU GO? You better not be with some other girl or I'll-"

I don't want to listen to her. I told her I did not want to be with her.
She's just not getting the picture.
Why does Layla keep calling me?
I decided to not call her back until she calls me again which is basically probably anytime now.
Mia.
I want to call Mia.
It's only like 7:00pm.
I'll call her.
I suddenly remember that I don't have a cell phone. It was in my car.
Great.
I run to my bedroom and pull my laptop out from under my pillow.

I search the hospitals number and I write it down.
I immediately put my laptop down and run to the house phone and dial the number.
"Hello. This is-" I cut them off.
"Hi. Can I please speak to Mia Santiago?" I asked politely. I realized her wallet was sitting on my table open.
"Uh, yes. I'll direct you to her line." The woman says. The line goes dead but I'm only on hold.
"Hello?" Asks a familiar voice.
"Hey there." I say smiling. I can't help but smile when I talk to her. Or even think about her.
"Mason?" She asks.
"Yeah." I say as I let out a laugh.
"You called me? I told you I'd call you silly." She says laughing.
"I know. But you took foreverrrrr so I decided to call you instead." I say as my smile never disappears. I pull my chair out and sit because my leg started to hurt.
"What're you up too?" She asks laughing.
"Talking to a beautiful girl." I say. I might as well flirt.
"Thank you. But hey. I can only talk till 7:30 and I promised Kacey I would call her. It's already 7:15. Is it okay if I call you in the morning?" She asks. I can tell she's a little nervous to say that.
"Uh. Yeah. No. Yeah. That's fine. Go ahead. Have a goodnight Mia. I'll talk to you tomorrow." I exclaim and hang up. I was actually really nervous I didn't even know what to say.
