Finding Jess

Chapter 25 - The Phone Call

By the time I got home it was 13:00, just the right time to take a nap. Once I woke up - more like jolted out of bed. I was greeted - more like slapped - by the buzzing noise of my glowing phone. I couldn't just leave it alone and go back to sleep, the irritating loud ringtone was the cause of my wake up.

I lifted the phone to my ear and it automatically answered the call. I didn't even bother checking the caller ID.

"Hello?" I said in wait of a response.

"Urmm urmm." A strange sound came through which I guess was the person rudely clearing their throat. "Jessica Sky Simpson, you have seven days to live." Said the person in a strange grouchy, eiry, grudge type voice giving me a heart attack.

"Huh." I can't believe I still didn't catch on.

"I'll be watching you. "You're-gonna-die." Said the person at a miraculous speed, but going off tune and out of their voice on the 'die'.

"This must be a joke." I said examining the possible outcomes.

"Jess." Said the person now in a normal girly voice, but dragging my name out with a hint of irritation. I was starting to get clues of who this could be.

"Mick, I know it's you." I smiled.

"What... no. Who's Mickey, I, I mean Mick."

"Come on Mikayla."

"Never call me that Jessica darling, never." She said laughing.

"I knew it, so..."

"I MISSED YOU!"

"I missed you too Mickey mouse."

"So how are you and hows London?"

"Okay." I said with my voice drowning in disappointment.

"Not the same, huh." She said affectionately. "Don't worry, one of these days it I come up there and pay you a visit."

"Yeah you'll visit, but you won't do any of the paying." I said as it caused both of us to giggle.

"Yeah."

"It's getting better here though."

"Oh. Does this have anything to do with a guy."

"You know there's only one guy for me."

"Yeah... I know." She said with no interest and going a bit off.

"Are you okay."

"Just a slight cold." She said as she suddenly coughed. "But listen Jess, I think it's best if you forget about Brad right now. Both of you are in two different worlds right now, and he's not at his best right now."

"What do you mean?"

"He's been sulking around school like a lost puppy, poor thing." She stopped. "I guess something happened the day that you left."

"Could it have been my departure?"

"Don't be silly, you know he just thinks of you as a friend. But anyway don't stay on that topic. Are there any cute guys over there?"

"Well there is my n- never mind. Forget that-"

Vaguely familiar voices could be heard in the background. One to be specific, but no matter how hard I tried I failed to make them out.

"Jess?" She asked.

"Is there anyone at home with you?"

"Nah it just my mum." She said in a hurry.

"That sounded like a man." It wouldn't have been Mickey's dad, because he left her mum when Mickey was thirteen.

"Mums got a cold to-probably have to go check on her-got-to-go........" She said as she hung up on me.

"But-"

Did she really just hang up on me? And seriously, who were those voices in the background? Naah, I'm probably just paranoid. Let's let Mick do what she has to. (BUT THAT WAS SERIOUSLY STILL RUDE THOUGH!) But who cares, I'm not even angry. (SERIOUSLY THOUGH, HANGING UP UP ON YOUR BESTIE!) But it's all fine. Chilled vibes.

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

It's currently 24:23 and everything is going through my mind. It been three months since my move from Birmingham. Nothing has changed here in London. I wouldn't say that I particularly hate it here, but I'm not saying I love it either. I can tolerate it here, because it makes my mum happy and that's enough for me but it's still not the same.

Kimmy has become an everyday-everynight face to and I have been hanging out with Leilah and Carter a lot lately, not only at school. Luke an I have grown extremely close, he loves this because never before has Kimmy been this irritated because of having to share one of her friends with him.

I still miss Brad though. I miss him so much my heart aches and I feel light-headed. I feel like I should have said everything I didn't say. There's been a page torn out of our story and now everything's just incomplete. It feels like if I filled in what that page would have said, everything would have ended better. But I didn't.

I miss Mickey too, my other half. My sister. Yeah I have amazing friends here, but nobody could ever compare to her. I... I even miss Harry. How will he ever talk to me again if he ever does after how I left things. Just left. What we had was never special, but from time to time I did think that I couldn't have just been a accident. I might have been fate. Then again in my world, there's no such thing as fate.

I stopped pummelling myself with thoughts that crushed me and lifted up the sleeve of my jumper - cause I was too lazy to change into pyjamas.

"One... two... three..." I mumbled as I started counting. "Twelve... thirteen... fourteen..." I said tracing my thumb over freshly healed scars of misery. Wow, I'm really on a good roll. I haven't cut for two months. I guess the first month here just got to me, but I've learnt to not give a fuck.

Grey clouds filled my eyes followed by salty water dripping down onto my wrist. The thoughts of my past life flashed by my wet eyes drowning in the sorrowful memories. Wow, how I wish I could go back to that life and all. The little moments once in a life time made the pain bearable.

I felt my eyes closing resulting in me blinking every 2 seconds or so. "It's getting late, better start counting sheep." I mumbled in a sleepy voice that could be heard faintly.

I finally shut my sleep deprived eyes and was engulfed by sleep.
