I wake up in a pool of sweat breathing heavily. That was a nightmare I don't want to have again. They seem to be getting worse. Though waking up to find Ethan not next to me doesn't surprises me one bit. I roll over stuffing my face into the pillow and breathing in his lingering scent. My dreams and what happened yesterday comes flooding into my mind
The mess
The garage, the pain
Shantal, the horror
Mike, betrayal
And than Ethan again. I squeeze my eyes shut trying to banish the thoughts away... but It doesn't work.
I need him. I need him around me to calm me. But of course he's not here. I punch the pillow refusing to listen. I just want it to stop. I look to the window and watch the rain that's still falling, the sun is barley up and now I'm wide awake. Great.
I lay there for what seems like hours just watching the rain doing my best to keep the memories away. Not being able to go back to sleep I head for the bathroom.
I leave the room to than hear Ethan's phone ringing. He must be back home.
I look around the kitchen, walking to the patio doors but nobody is here. My eyes snap to the half ripped couch at the sound of his phone ringing again, I frown at the couch before pushing it back revealing his phone sitting on the floor underneath. The call ends as I pick it up and flip over.
22 missed calls from MR
1 missed call RH
1 missed call JC
And countless messages
I'm confused to see my brothers initials. His phone only has 3%battery left so I take it to the bedroom to throw it on my charger I have no idea where his charger is lucky its a similar one to my phone.
"Hey you coming home soon" I mindlink Ethan plugging his phone and setting it down on the table
As soon as I let go the phone starts ringing again 'MR' but I can't bring myself to answer it
I go to the closet to get a change of clothes and head for the shower. Finishing up I brush my hair getting more frustrated that he hasn't got back to me. And his phone won't stop ringing.
"You there" I ask not being able to keep the frustration out of my tone
I'm sure he can hear me just fine the connection to his mind is clear and he hasn't blocked me I would have felt it trying to get through. So he's just ignoring me. Who's doing the silent treatment now Ethan I roll my eyes.
I leave the bedroom closing the door to dim the sound of the constant ringing phone. And decide to make breakfast for one.
"What are you doing?" I ask clearly annoyed this time eating some toast as it's all I felt like.
I haven't done anything for him to be ignoring me, recently anyway. Thinking back to last night he just brushed me off that my assumption was far fetched and ridiculous but, he didn't deny it either.
"You have like 100 missed calls from mike" I exaggerate just a bit, taking my plate to the sink
"Mia what do you want?" He sounds tired
"You" I answer bluntly
"I'm busy" he answers just as bluntly feeling the sting
"Doing what?" I reply curiously ignoring it
But he doesn't answer... again.
Seeing my phone light up on the table I pick it up and open the message
