The Exception

Chapter 57: Bubbles And Phone Calls

I was drowsy. I was tired. I was confused, emotional, the whole lot combined. I don't even know what came over me this afternoon. I was so determined to end things, but I felt like I just made it a whole lot worse. Loss of sleep made me so emotional, so angry...or was it the fact that Evan managed to manipulate me? Or was I the one manipulating him?

It was again two in the morning. A school day, I guess. I managed to pass out for a few hours, but woke up after a huge nightmare. It mostly consisted me of running away in the school hallways, Tyler chasing me. Then I fell into a large pool, and started drowning. However, someone was pushing me under. When I made out a face, it was Evan. Then I dreamt I was in a maze, and if I didn't get out in time, I would burn as the leaves touched me. Then I heard a gunshot, and a horrific scream.

That was when I woke up. I rubbed my eyes. I was now sitting in the living room, cup of tea in hand and wrapped in blankets. My eyes were heavy, but my mind was wide awake again. Why did everything have to be so complicated? Why did everything have to be so hard?

I checked my phone. It was a few text messages from Evan, telling me he'd explain everything to me at school, and that he really cared for me.

Not that I believed him, or did I?

I couldn't tell anymore.

I clumsily opened my contacts and pressed the dial button. I was going to give Evan a piece of my mind...

"Hello?" a groggy voice came out.

"Listen Evan, if you think you can manipulate me into staying with you...we are so done, and I am done with all your bubbles, I mean babbles, I mean...you know what I mean...we are so over..."

"And this is really awkward..."

I raised my brow. "Gosh, Keith? What are you doing with Evan's phone?"

"I'm pretty sure it's my phone, last I checked...what's going on?"

"I'm so sorry, Keith...did I wake you?"

"No, normally this time I surfing on rainbows with my batmobile..."

"Oh, ok," I responded. My brain took it's time. "Oh, hahah, very funny...I'm sorry I bugged you Keith...I'm just..."

"Are you ok?"

"No," I said and I laughed. "No, I really am not....I am fantastic..." My face contorted and pain filled inside of me. I gave out a small sob. "I'm sorry Keith, I didn't mean to phone you. This was a stupid idea..."

"Wait..."

"Bye," I turned off the phone and lay on the couch, hugging a pillow.
