Forever Together

The Aftermath

I pull myself together and search my pockets for my phone. I try to recollect what happened last night. 

"What have I done?"

"Cathy please pick up ... Please ..."

"I lost her. It's all my fault I shouldn't have done it."

The dead tone leaves shivers down my spine and I feel my breath getting shallow and fast. My fingers tremble. The phone screen is blurred and a drop of tear falls. I wipe it and keep calling.

*Voice from the phone*

"Hey it's Cathy, you know me I'm a vampire. Leave your message after the beep. Catch you later alligator!"

"Hey Cathy, look I'm sorry about last night. I was really drunk and I was not me please just call me I need to talk please."

I leave a message after the tone.

I can hear her say, she didn't want it. She said she didn't want it.

I should have stopped.

She's my best friend.
How could I do this to her?

It's all over.

I rush down and realise my bike isn't here. I have no idea what to do next. My head hurts and all I know now is that I need to talk to Catherine. I stop a cab and hop in still trying to reach Catherine.

"Please pick up the call Cathy. Please, please, please."

After a number of failed calls being sent to voicemail, I hear a ring.

"Hi, Listen to me, please. Whatever happened last night, I... it wasn't me. I was angry and hurt and... I ... I didn't know what I was doing."

"I really love you, Cathy. You know I'd never do that. I don't... I'm so sorry. Please say something."

I hear a squeak and then a bold and strong voice. 

"Stay away from my girlfriend. You crossed the line. I kept telling her you were not right for her, but now that she has seen your true nature, she has nothing to do with you. Stay away from her. We have called the cops. If you try to get in touch with her. You are gone for good."

It was Amy. She got what she wanted once again. I can't do anything. 

I get home trying to get in touch with Cathy. I try and text her. I try to send an email. After 50 emails and an uncountable number of texts, I get blocked from both the places. 

All I can do now is write. Tell her everything I know about Amy.
