only us

This is it, I'm going to die here alone.

That was the only thing going through Reyna's mind. She had just turned 22. She had a wonderful "wife" whom she was head over heels in love with.

Thalia.

She can't know yet.

Clutching her bleeding side, Reyna fumbles with her jacket pocket. She manages to bring out her phone. She chuckles. She hated technology, but Thalia insisted on Reyna getting one while she was on tour.

Right. Thalia isn't even in the country right now. A small smile crossed her face. Thalia was in Greece, her band The Hunters on their very first tour. The band had gotten number one in the charts in America and had sold millions countrywide. Their agent had finally gotten the okay for their tour, and Reyna couldn't be more happy for Thalia.

Although, she wished she was here now.

The dial tone was always irritating to Reyna. A constant buzzing sound mixed with dogs barking and glass bottles smashing.

Dogs.

She should probably call someone to take care of her dogs.

"Hello? Reyna?"

A groan escaped her lips before she could say anything.

"Hey, baby. How's the tour going?"

"It's going good. Are you okay?" Even through the phone, even though they're miles away, Reyna can still hear concern through the phone. Reyna can see the wrinkles in Thalia's forehead, the worry in her blue eyes. She closed her eyes, moving the phone away to take a quick, shaky breath.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just dropped some laundry." A quick laugh came from the other end. Reyna smiled, wishing she could see her lover. Wishing she could hold her.

"You dork, you had me worried for a second," Reyna wanted to hear her laugh again. "So what's up?"

"I just missed you. Wanted to hear your voice."

"Isn't it late over there?" Reyna closed her eyes, softly touching her side. She lifted her hand to the fluorescent lighting of the lamppost next to her.

So much blood.

"Isn't it early over there?" Thalia laughed again. Reyna loved her laugh.

"It's around 6 in the morning here. Everyone's still asleep, last night's concert went well, so obviously, Paige and Addie got plastered after the show."

"Ahh, you're only seven hours ahead of me. It's 11 over here."

"Why are you doing laundry at 11 at night?" Reyna shrugs her shoulders, then realizes Thalia can't see her. She flinches at the sudden pain in her side.

"I don't know to be honest. I just wanted to I guess."

The truth is, Reyna got some time off from the school and had bought a plane ticket to Athens, Greece to see Thalia preform. She was getting the laundry done at the laundromat a couple of blocks from their tiny studio apartment. Her going was supposed to be a surprise.

Some surprise it is now. She thought bitterly. She looks to the 'clean' clothes scattered on the ground, the laundry basket broke.

"Thalia,"

"Hmm?" A confused hum came from the other side. They hardly used their names when talking to each other. Always babe, baby, love, dear; but they hardly used their real names.

"Will you sing to me?"

"What?"

"I miss your voice. Will you please sing to me?"
