It was a whole 24 hours before she called. I was at my desk, my fingers moving quickly across the keys, making up missed work. My phone rang and I quickly answered it.
"Hello?" My voice croaked, I was scared it was her Dad.
"Hey." She said.
I sighed in relief, "Thank God, what happened?"
"Nothing good, James. They yelled at me, said I couldn't talk to you. We got into a fight and I said they couldn't control who I see. I said that you were the only thing in this damn town I like and I wouldn't stay unless I could talk to you. They're still being asses but I can talk to you."
"Thank God." I sighed.
"Maybe we should hang out... away from my house." She laughed.
"Yeah." I smiled. "That'd be best."
"Okay. How about later tonight. Does 5 work?"
"yeah, of course." I said. "Where?"
Literally anywhere."
"Honestly lets go to Mcdonalds and call it good." I joked.
"I'm in. I'll see you then."
"See you then" I hung up. Her curtains had been drawn lately. I couldn't tell if she was even in her room, but I assumed that was her parent's doing.
