Blake's phone was ringing non-stop.
He didn't feel like talking, so he let his phone ring until the person calling would get the message that he wasn't going to answer.
Maria was annoyed by this brother's stupid ringtone.
She barged into her brother's room and glared at him.
"Are you seriously not going to answer that?"
"No."
"What if it's important?"
"I don't care."
"What if it's Melissa?"
"..."
The phone started ringing again, and Maria had enough.
Maria sighed in exaggeratedly and picked up the phone.
"LOVER BOY!"
"LOVER BOY YOU NEED TO SEE MELISSA"
"YES, YOU NEED TO SEE MELISSA!"
"SHE NEEDS TO SEE YOU BEFORE SHE LEAVES!"
"SHE NEEDS TO REALIZE THAT SHE'S IN LOVE WITH YOU!"
"YOU ALSO NEED TO TELL HER YOU LOVE HER!"
"YES! AND PROMISE HER YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE AND--"
"Wait, guys. Breath. I don't understand--"
"Maria?"
"WHAT? WHERE'S LOVER BOY!?!"
"PUT US ON SPEAKER!"
"Okay, now talk."
"Lover boy, you need to see Melissa!"
"She hasn't realized she loves you yet!"
"You need to let her know your feelings!"
"She needs you, lover boy!"
Blake didn't know what to say.
His brain was still processing the words.
She needs him?
She said it herself that she had to go home.
No, she needs to go home.
"No, she doesn't need me."
"I heard her crying last night, she kepy saying sorry."
"Please, lover boy. Don't let our Melissa go."
She was crying?
Was it because of him?
She was the one who didn't say goodbye.
He didn't understand.
Did she not want to say it?
Is it because she didn't want him to leave?
He needed answers.
He wanted answers.
So he got up, took his keys and started to drive.
"GO CHASE THE GIRL, TIGER! DON'T FORGOT THE RING POP!"
He wanted the answers.
And he will get the answers.
He knows he will.
