" I see the lights are on in your room, why aren't you answering" I recorded a voicemail as I stood in front of an apartment complex staring at one apartment specifically.
" I---- I'm sorry, okay, I'm sorry, please just-just respond to me, answer my calls, reply to my messages, please, I can't do this, I can't live without you " I begged and pleaded as I sent another voicemail.
" Why .....why are you doing this to me, what did I do, I.....I don't deserve this, come back, fucking come back "
" It's been two years, please respond, people keep saying crazy shit, they keep saying that you're dead, that you got into a car accident and died, crazy, right? Please respond, or, or at least call your parents, they are so worried about you, your mother had been crying every day since those rumors started spreading, she regrets what she said, please respond"
" They identified your body in the morgue, but ...... I'm sure they're mistaken, the body doesn't look like yours, I know my man and I know that this is not you, please, I'm begging you, respond, I'm not giving up, please just come back, I'll do anything "
" Babe, it's been 3 years, today is your birthday day, I got you a present, something you've always wanted, it was quite expensive but ........but not expensive for you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday my dear, happy birthday to you * sound of blowing candles*, I blew the candles for you and made a wish for you as well, I wished for us to be happy for the rest of our lives and to always be together, I miss you "
" Babe, everyone had given up on looking for you, they believe you are dead, they stopped looking for you, but I won't, I'll keep looking for you, I know you're still out there, I just ...... I just know it "
" Hey, I don't know who exactly you're trying to reach but this number now belongs to someone else, please stop texting me and sending me voicemails "
" Babe, why are you lying, I know it's you, you are still alive, baby why don't you answer me, talk to me "
" Babe "
" Baby "
" Why did you block my number "
" I'm not giving up, I'm not, I know you are out there, the necklace you gave me hadn't broke yet, which means you are still alive, not like what everyone is saying "
" I wish life was different, I wish you never heard what your parents said and what my parents said about us, I wish you never heard what those bullies used to say about us, I wish I never ignored you, I wish I explained everything to you and talked to you, I wish we lived somewhere else, lived in a different world, in a different era, with different people, I wish you knew how much I truly loved you and still love you, I wish you knew how much I worked hard for us, I wish you knew all about the plans I had for us, I ......... I wish I helped you, I wish I was there for you, I wish I never let go of your hand, I wish I told you everything that night, I didn't know it was going to be the last time I see you, I'm sorry my love, I couldn't protect you, I couldn't protect you, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry "
" Babe, it's been 5 years, I didn't forget about you and will never do, I........I wanted to tell you that I went to the doctor a few days ago, he told me that I have heart problems, something about the valves in my heart not working properly, something like that, seems like I don't have long "
" Hey babe, if this message got sent to you then this means I'm dead, I've scheduled for this voicemail to get sent to you when I die, I'm coming babe, I'm coming Cyrus, I hope that, in another world, another realm, we would be together, and happy. Bye Cyrus, bye babe "

.In the future ( after many years)
" God I'm so tired"
" Whomp whomp, you still have so much work to do, Cyrus, stop being lazy, you're lucky the boss isn't very strict, if you were working in any other company you would have probably been fired long ago, " my colleague said.
" Well thank you very much, I too perceive myself as a very hard working individual " I responded with a smile.
" Bro "
" What ?" I asked
" You are so fucking annoying," he said.
" Uuuh, thanks babe " I responded with a smile.
He rolled his eyes then went back to work while I did the same as well, just another boring day at work, I would really love it if someone could explain to me why I studied for so many years just to work in a company where all I do, is tap tap tap on the computer, analyze papers before sending them off, photocopying papers and occasionally going on errands to get coffee and breakfast for my fellow colleagues.
" Hey Cyrus" Marcus, my work best friend, called out for me.
" Yes? " I asked looking up from my computer
" I heard they're hiring a new guy and he's going to be on our team," he said.
" And I care why? " I asked with a brow raised.
" You are going to be training him " he announced.
" Wait what, what the fuck, why me? " I asked in shock and jolted off my chair ready to go complain to the supervisor.
" I don't know man, I was passing by the supervisor's office and heard him talk about it " Marcus shrugged then went back to work.
I stood in my place for a second trying to control my anger and frustration then started walking to the supervisor's office.
Why the hell would he give me such a role, not only do I have a shit tone of work but now I also have to be teaching a rookie.
" Bro, why " I asked as I burst into the supervisor's office.
" Why what ?" He asked while not even glancing at me.
" Why give me the rookie boy ?" I asked now sitting in front of his desk.
" Because, Cyrus, I need you to be doing more around here " he responded as he flipped through some papers that were on his desk.
" More around here ?" I asked in shock " I have a stack of papers on my desk ranging from papers that need to be analyzed to papers that need to be signed and let's not mention the amount of work emails that I've not opened yet and the new team project that we have coming up and you need me to be doing more? " I started listing out all the shit I have piling up.
" Yes "
" What a heartless man, god damnit" I huffed and pinched the bridge of my nose.
" Well, am I going to get paid for the training at least? " I asked trying to find any hope in life, anything that would make this any better.
" No "
" Bro, what the fuck? " My mouth was opened a gap while I stared at the man.
" Be a team player, and besides, it's not that hard, you're just going to show him how we work and what exactly needs to be done, give him a quick tour of the place and that's it " he stopped to take a sip of his coffee then continued " the guy is very smart and has a lot of experience so you won't suffer much, he's also almost the same age as you so you might even get along " he took another sip of his coffee then went back to work.
" I hate you " I stated with a grin, then walked out fuming on the inside.
Should I continue?
