Christian:

I woke up to the sound of my ringing phone, "hello?" I groggily said.

"C-Christian?"

"Yes, who's this?"

I checked the time: 2:37 A.M.

"Melanie." She finally said and began to weep.

I noticed the quiet pitter patter of the rain on my window.

"Melanie?" I said a little confused it's been 2 years. But I could never forget her, no matter how hard I tried.

"Why are you crying?" I asked her.

"Your voice. I've missed it so much, it drives me to tears."

My heart felt heavy, and slowly it was sinking down to my stomach.

I sighed.

"Melanie why'd you call me?"

"I just wanted to talk to someone, I've recently had dreams about you."

Dreams?

"What'd you dream about?"

"About what happened. Our separation and how-how-" She couldn't finish the sentence.

"How what?!"

I didn't mean to yell it's just after 2 years she decided to tell me this.

"It broke me Christian! It completely shattered me and no matter what I tried I couldn't fix the pieces."

I didn't respond, I just listened to the rain.

"I'm sor-" I started.

"Don't apologize, it was too long ago for an apology now."

"I didn't know you felt this way when it. . . Did happen. . . You seemed completely nonchalant." I said running my hand through my hair.

"That's because I knew it was over, I couldn't keep watering dead roses."

I didn't know what to say, my mind was all over the place in that moment. I never thought I'd hear the sound of her voice ever again, it seemed like a dream. And I was afraid if it was a dream then I would still be thinking about her, something I thought I finally recovered from.

"Remember how we became friends?We were in 4th grade, I was wearing my pink ruffled skirt and it blew up in the wind and everyone saw my Hello Kitty underwear, everyone laughed at me, then you-"

I interrupted by saying, "I pulled my pants down and everyone saw my Power Ranger underwear. Then for the rest of the day everyone kept telling me 'GO GO POWER RANGER!'"

I heard her muffled velvet like laugh and couldn't help but smile.

"Chris?"

"Yeah?"

"I miss you."

"I miss you too."
