I sat staring at the phone, the black screen sitting on the desk in front of me. My breathing was shallow and a scowl was slowly overtaking my face.

"I'm so sorry..."

Over and over again, the words repeating in my head.

"I'm so, truly sorry. I'm sorry, Angel. I'm so sorry."

I growled and shoved a stack of papers off the desk, digging my fingers in my hair, trying desperately to make the voices stop.

"Go away!" I cried, helpless tears burning my cheeks. "You're not sorry! You don't know what it's like!"

"It kills me not to be there."

I was so confused, I had no idea where these words were coming from, what images my brain was struggling to string together. All I knew was that it hurt like hell, and that every word was in his voice.

"He wasn't there for me..." I muttered, trying my best to infer what my brain was telling me. "I did know him... But..." I groaned as my head throbbed, nearly making me fall out of my chair. "But he wasn't there for me..."

I gasped as the scene suddenly snapped into focus, every sensation coming back to me, every movement reenacted before my eyes. I was sitting in this same spot, looking at my laptop, there, on the desk. David was on the screen, crying... I was yelling at him...

"You promised!"

"Minecon..." I breathed, the word dripping off my tongue without a conscious thought. "He... he didn't go with me..."

My eyes drifted down to my hands, lying limp in my lap. I saw tears dripping onto my palms... but my nerves didn't register a thing.
