Him | Her

L?

Shawn.

Oh my God, L!! WHERE WERE YOU!! ARE YOU OK? DID HE HURT YOU? ARE YOU IN THE HOS-

Shush! Stop screaming Shawn. You'll destroy my hearing ability. And I'm ok. I was hurt, but now I'm not. I'm good.

I was.. scared.

I know. Thank you for caring.

Will you answer me, if I ask you where you were?

Yes.

Where were you?

In the hospital.

Why?

He hit me. And I started bleeding. Again. So, it was necessary to go to the hospital.

Since how many days have you been tolerating this?

17 years. My whole life.

Why? Why would you do that?

I don't have anyone to go to, Shawn.

I'm there L. I'll always be there. Why don't you trust me?

Even you'll leave me one day, Shawn.

Never. You're my friend, L. I don't leave my friends.

Seeing me sad for the whole day, even my shadow left me alone at night, how do I, then expect you to stay?

Wow. Who did you quote?

Ayesha Shaikh. On Wattpad. She has her poems in the book, Fragile. From there.

Nice..

Yeah. I know.

Will you never tell me your problems?

Long story, Shawn. Maybe, next time.

Ok.

Got to go. Talk to you later.

Ok. Take care. Bye.

Bye.

By the way, I heard all your voicemails.

...

...

Stop laughing!!!

They are just too cute.

I'm glad. At least I heard you laugh. I like the sound of that.

If you don't know yet, let me tell you, that sentence made my day. Bye.

~Call ended~

Since the day you called, everyday has been my day, L.
