My phone conversations of the night.

"hey it's indie , can I talk to ruby?"

"sure indie love I'll put her on."

I wait for a minute and there is a lot of whispering and whining.

"hello?"

"hey ruby, it's..."

"I know look ind can you call another day I've got Sara over?"

"yeah alright."

The line goes dead

"hello?"

"hey its indie cara."

"hi, erm do you want something in particular?"

"no I just thought I'd ring for a chat."

"chats are for best mates who don't move away without warning,ciao."

The line goes dead.

"hello its katy who's this?"

"indie."

The line goes dead.

My eyes well up with tears of sadness ,rejection and loneliness I sink my head into my pillow and sob.

Then a thought enters my head.

I dial the number quickly but hang up too quick chickening out.

The phone rings

"hello?"

"indie why did you hang up when I answered."

"kin, I dialled the wrong number."

"who did you mean to ring?"

"Katy but it doesn't matter because she just emailed me bye."

"indie wait I need to tell you something."

"what?"

"katys here because we just got together I didn't think you'd want to be with me I mean you live ages away..."

I hang up gulping back tears of betrayal.

"what's wrong."cal states more then questions.

"none of my friends want to know me anymore."I sob.

He closes the space between us with a hug.

"indie it's their problem your amazing I think your a character and some people don't like characters because..."

"they got to old for kids programs."

"no because a character is a challenge , that they know they can't win."

"can you win?"

"only if you let me,"

I nod as he squeezes my shoulder.
