I was trying to call Ari for multiple times but she never answered. Tonight was different, the phone rang about 4 times, until I heard it being picked up, "hello" I was so happy to finally hear her voice. "hi baby, I was so worried about you, why didn't you call me?"
"I'm sorry, I'm getting on a tour soon and I needed to rehearse a bit more this time" she sounded tired, "are you okay?" I asked, "yes. And what's happening on your side anyway?" I was still unsure about her reply, "well, you know.. I'm about to end on this european tour to go on the next one" she sighed "how long?" I hesitated before I spoke again, "7 months" there was a long silent pause.
"Babe?" I thought she hung up, but then I heard her voice again "yeah?", "why are you acting up so strange with me?" even the way she talked was completely different from the way she used to. "I'm not" I scoffed "you're lying.." "look, I'm really tired right now" she remained calm, "okay, I'll let you go then, I love you.." I looked at the floor, "I love you too" she hung up.

I couldn't believe it. They were always rubbing against each other and it made my blood boil. That's why I haven't been answering his calls, I didn't want to listen to his lies when he said he loves me. why am I never enough for anyone.
The days passed, and every night I cried myself to sleep, not knowing what he did behind my back all this time. I wasn't saying that he cheated, but it still hurt, a lot. Yes, he called, but I didn't pick up. I opened the voicemail box and there was this;
Hi... I-I've been calling you and.. you're still not answering... I don't know if I did something or if you're just too busy to call me.. but, you always found time for me before. Anyway, um.. Please call me back, okay? I-... I love you so much
I wiped the tear rolling down my cheek as I dialed his number, it rang about 5 times but he didn't answer. 'Maybe he's on stage' I thought as I let out a sigh and laid back in my bed. - I stumbled from my bed, my pillow still wet from last night's tears. I heard my bodyguard say "you're still on that case?" I just nodded my head, not able to speak yet. "You should talk to him, honey" he suggested, "I'll give you something to drink" he left the room.
I went to my piano, and started playing Taxi Cab. Just hearing the notes made me felt more at peace. I opened my eyes when Jon knocked me out of my thoughts, "there.." he handed me the bottle, after I thanked him, he changed the topic. "Oh, I also got this for you" he handed me a letter, 'from Prince' was written on the back. "I'll give you some time alone" he left again.
