Leeann - 4 missed call

The phone is just next to me. I'm in my couch.
What am I going to do ? I'm supposed to love my best friend. But does that mean accept to lie for her ?
I hate when people cheat. It reminds me of my dad leaving my mom. It reminds me of how Love is complicated. It reminds me of Calvin.

Oh, please ! Get that man out of your head !

I'm sorry.
The phone rings again. I cut it off. I need time to think.
Being friend with Leeann is part of my identity. If I ain't anymore, it could compromise my plans, and that is the last thing I want.
I finally, after the seventh call, take the phone in my hand.

You can do it, Patient 99.
It is your job to keep secrets.

Leeann's crying voice appears.

"Oh my god Val I thought you would never answer I'm so, so -
"Stop it, Lee. I won't tell.
I hear her sighing of release through the phone.
"That...that means a lot.
"I'm doing this for you, because you're my ( I hesitate saying that word) f-friend.
"Than-
"...but that doesn't mean I understand what you did. I'm very disappointed at you.
She doesn't answer, until :
"I hope you'll forgive me someday.
"I hope I will. Let's meet tomorrow at your house. To talk about it.
"Thanks Val."

Then she ends up the call.
But as I pull the phone down next to me the only image that come to my mind is Calvin.
Why can't I just...forget him ?

That's what I always fucking did.

But I don't know why, but I have the feeling that this isn't going to work this time.

I hope I'm wrong.
I truly do.
