"I knew I'd find you." A man says. He breathes deeply.
"Um... Hi?" I ask, confused.
"Who is this?" I ask.
"Its me baby. Don't act like you forgot me or my big heart." He mutters, shamelessly.
"Lily's not here." I push out.
"Where is she then." He demands.
"I know this is her apartment." He shrieks.
"And you know that how?" I ask, contemplating hanging up on him.
"Im her boyfriend." He says.
"Oh! Im so sorry Lily never mentioned you before!" I say relieved thinking it was a psychopath.
"What happened to Lily? Is she ok?" He asks with some emotion.
"Shes in the hospital, she gave hersel- got a big cut and stepped on some glass." I stutter.
"Oh no Lily!" He yells, sarcastically.
"When can I talk to her?" He asks.
"Im not sure to be honest." I say, more confused than before.
"Well do you know which hospital shes at? I need to see if shes ok." He asks.
"Yea shes at the hospital off Ridge Way. The one north of our apartments." I say.
"Interesting." He mutters.
"What?' I ask.
"Nothing. Don't tell her i'm coming. I want it to be a surprise." He says.
"Sure, I guess not. I wont." I smile.
"I'm Jennifer by the way." I declare.
"Jonathan." He whispers. There is a long moment of silence, I hear him breathing through the phone.
"So." I say, trying to clear the silence.
"Soo" he says back.
"How long have you and Lily been together?" I ask, curious.
I hear the sound of a door opening from his end of the phone.
"Fuck." He mutters, I hear it.
"Get back in there!" He yells, hanging up the phone. The dial tone beeps. What just happened? I ask myself.
"Hello?" I whisper. It beeps again. I hang up the phone and think about what just happened. I remember why I came here and walk towards her messy room. I grab a blue shirt and grey track pants from off the floor and walk towards the open apartment door, still trying to make sense of the conversation with Jonathan.
"He's her boyfriend." I whisper. She would have mentioned him.
"He cares about her." Who was he yelling at when he hung up?
"He wants to see her." Why would he tell me I finally found you if they were together?
"Maybe I should have hung up." Agreed. My mind tells me. I walk out of the apartment, closing the main light and the door.
I walk down the hallway and into the staircase with Lily's clothes in my hands.
I reach the main floor and approach the door. Shit. I see the can driver talking with a policeman. I turn around and find the hotel manager stopping to look at the clock. 11:12.
"You want to know how Lily's doing right?" I mutter.
"Yes ma'am I do." He exclaims.
"Do you have a car?" I ask.
