Are You Hearing Voices?

P. 64

Christy continued to lay on the bed while hugging the pillow. She didn't know that Jason had left. She heard him getting up from the bed and leaving the room, but she only thought that he went downstairs. When she got up from the bed and went downstairs and saw that it was vacant, she was shocked.

"JASON!" She called out, but there was no response.

She then went and sat on the long white couch in the middle of the living room. She folded her arms and sat her chin on it. She started to get pensive and think to herself. Maybe she shouldn't have told Jason off. She didn't want him to really leave, she just wanted... She didn't know what she wanted.

She then pulled out her pink iPhone from her pocket and turned it on. There were a few message notifications from Synquetta and Shay, but that's not what she was concerned about. She went to her dial pad and dialed Jason's number. The phone rang once, no pickup. It rang again, still no pickup. On the third ring she thought that he was going to pick up, but no luck. It was the fourth ring that he decided to pick up.

"Hello." He said in a sleepy tone of voice. Christy guessed that he was either getting ready to go to sleep or just waking up. She figured the latter.

"What r u doing? Why did you leave?" She asked.

Jason gave a big stretch and yawned.

"I'm at the crib shordy." He said.

There was a slight pause on the phone, then Christy spoke.

"Why did you leave?" She asked.

"Cuz I don't like the way that you acting." Jason said.

"Jason, I'm not acting no way!" She replied.

"Whatever." Jason said.

She held her hand up to her mouth and started biting her finger nails.

"R u gonna come back?" She asked.

"Yeah... tomorrow, once you get rid of your stank ass attitude." Jason said.

Christy sighed heavily.

"Jason, I don't have an attitude." She said.

"Whatever, I'm finna go to sleep, I'ma holl at you later." Said Jason.

"Wait, but why can't you come back?" Christy said, she wanted to be with Jason again. She longed for his warm embrace, his voice, his touch.

"Cuz I'm finna go back to sleep." Jason said.

"Why though? It's not even that late." Christy said.

"Cause I already prayed Isha, now I'm going to sleep." Jason said.

"Or you can just come over."

"I don't want to though."

"Why not?"

Jason didn't say nothing. He gave a long pause.

"Goodnight yo." He finally said.

"Ugh! Whatever Jason, idk why you always..."

"CLICK!" Jason hung up the phone on his end.

Christy turned off the screen on her phone and threw it to the side on the couch.

"Stupid ugly boy!" She said while continuing to bite her finger.

Her mother, Crystal Angela was at work at UPENN and she will not be coming home until later on tonight around midnight. Her father, Frank is all the way in New York. He works at a bank and Christy does not have a good relationship with him. She had the whole house to herself and was alone. Christy figured that she could've called some friends over, like she always used to do whenever she got bored. But that's not what she wanted.
