Telly (damn)

----------------------------------------------

The plane ride getting here was absolutely god awful. But that doesn't matter now that I'm actually back in a setting that I'm used to. I know that I definitely will not like New York. The feeling is of a cable knit sweater sewn too tight. All I know is I was just as dead as my phone was and as soon as Emmett took my bags from my hands I flopped down on the bed in the room designated for me in his penthouse. Lana and Emmett left after they threw everything I brought with me in a corner tucked nicely. Finally got my phone and any other apple products I brought with me on their charger, sighing and kicking my shoes off. I looked up at the blank white ceiling endlessly hoping that the violent throbbing sensation in my skull would soon die down. I closed my eyes again listening to the trains racing on the tracks and the many people hustling taxis and car horns and such. How does one live somewhere like here?

Well obviously Emmett and Lana and me for the next few weeks. "Stupid Jase and stupid Remie and stupid Jessa and stupid Logan and stupid me." I sighed out and turned on my side wanting nothing more than to go home and sleep in my own bed peacefully. But I was on the opposite coast now and it will stay that way for a while. Hell, I could burn bridges over here if I want now that there's no one to babysit me. I rolled my eyes at the sound of my phone finally coming back to the land of the living and expressing to me that I had 25 missed calls and that I had 2 voicemails. To top it off, I only had 2% and it was 4 in the afternoon and I had absolutely nothing to eat since I don't trust airplane food. My mind said food and my tummy said food and my body itself said food but I was like no. Lana was both vegan and gluten free so there was nothing in this damn penthouse that I wanted to eat now that she pretty much converted Emmett to her side. I was really in the mood for a burger but I was in no mood to get up.

So I just laid there with my phone...barely charged and pressed it to my ear attempting to listen to the voicemails left for me. I took a deep breath waiting to hear them.

"Hey Telly, It's me Riley. So uh, you kinda ran out on me the other night. You said it was an emergency I think. You never texted me back like you said you would. I was just calling to see if you were ok. Well I guess you can just call me back when you get this...or whenever. Just don't go all MIA like that, I care about you. Ok well, i'll be waiting here. I'd be great to hear from you. Umm later I guess."

I smiled from ear to ear at the sound of his voice and wiped my nose waiting for the next one to play.

"Telly its me Logan," My heart dropped to the very pit of my stomach and my already moist eyes threatened to spill over as my throat started to close. I gulped for air even though it seems as if I was being suffocated from the inside out. "Listen I've been thinking about what you said and I'm not even sure if you remember last night because you and Jase were totally done for. But anyways," He paused as if his voice was breaking. "I really need to talk to you and I wish you would come home soon but you might just stay in Manhattan. That way you could start over as much as you want to. If you could call me back when you get this that would be great. I love-- I, I'd love to hear from you sometime soon. And I promise I won't bother you while you're away. You probably don't ever want to see my face again and I totally understand and respect that. But I know you're probably tired of me so I'll just be here."

Then it ended and i sniffled hoping that the warm tears sliding down my face would stop soon because it was making my migrane bigger by the second. The other missed calls were from Remie, naturally, so I decided to call her back since there was no way i could face both Riley and Logan now that I was under house arrest in a miserable city, 3000 miles away from home and crying like a baby.

It rang several times and I moved my phone away from my ear preparing to end the call and not waste anymore time before she finally picked up. "Oh my god! Telly how are you?"

"Well, I'm not dead yet." I sniffled again. "I can't keep doing this Remie."

"You mean getting drunk? Yes, I agree. you were totally wasted last night. you were saying some crazy stuff too."

"Yeah I know, I remember." I rolled my eyes and ran my thumb over my well grown out cuticles.

"Logan told me about what happened last night at your place."

"Of course he did."

"Who else was he gonna tell? Him and Jess aren't talking-"

"That's a first!" I blurted out before thinking. "I highly doubt they even talk. Their relationship is solely based on how much sex they have."

"Someone sounds a little jealous." She teased me.

"Remie, I swear, I will smack your fake ass contacts right out of your eye sockets. I am not in the mood for your games."

"Just like a true new yorker." She clapped and the sound of a hair dryer came through the line. "Sorry, I just got done washing my hair."

"Ugh, I hate it here. Emmett and Lana are strictly vegan or some shit like that and there's nothing to eat or anything and I'm so hungry." I rambled on ever though the annoying blow from her hair dryer was getting deafeningly loud with every second.

"Then get your ass up, take some pills and explore the city. There's plenty of food to eat in Manhattan. Why do you think it's called the big apple?"

Just as she said that my phone beeped indicating that someone else was calling me. "Uh, lemme call you back later Remie, someone's calling me."

"Don't make me wait forever. I can't talk all night. Jase and I are going somewhere."

"Oh god. Please don't have a child Remie."

"Shut up Telly!" Then she hung up and I was alone with the anonymous caller on the other line.
