Fall in Deep

24 - is no news bad news?

I got home and called Z but she didn't answer. I ignored it, assuming she had her phone turned off or was in the hospital with her dad and went on Snapchat.

Shit.

There had been another earthquake in LA. I called Z again and again until I finally gave up and called my manager.

"Please tell me I'm allowed to go back to LA,"

"I'm really sorry but I really think you should stay in Italy right now, this film could determine your career,"

"Shit shit shit,"

"Why? What is it,"

"LA had another fucking earthquake and Z's not answering her phone," there was silence on the other side of the line before my manager replied.

"Ok, I'm sorry, I'll do whatever I can to find out if she and her family are ok,"

"Thanks, can you do the same for my brother and niece?"

"Yeah no problem,"

"Thanks," I said as I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bye,"

"Bye," I said and hung up the phone. I paced the room before getting annoyed at myself. I grabbed my coat and my phone and went out.

I walked aimlessly but eventually found myself at the same park from earlier. I sat in the same bench and stared into the distance.

I didn't realise I was crying until i snapped out of my trance. My cheeks were damp and my eyes red and swollen. I checked my phone too see if Z or my manager had tried to contact me but nothing.

I tried to call Daya again but she didn't answer. I clenched my jaw and my stomach growled. Suddenly I wasn't hungry, even though I hadn't eaten in days. Just all of a sudden I stopped feeling hungry.

My head started ringing and I squeezed my eyes shut. The sounds of the world around me blurred away. I did feel anything, my whole body was numb. Tears poured from my eyes, no matter how much I kept my eyes closed.

All feeling of reality left and when I finally opened my eyes again, I wasn't in the same place. I mean, I was still in the park, but my vision was blurry with tears and it felt different. There was a sense of coldness in the air, a sense of sharp iciness.

The tears stopped and my vision went back to normal, but I couldn't shake the cold feeling. Eventually I went back to my hotel room, but the feeling followed me.
