"Babe, Daniel is calling," I tell her
"Let it ring" she sighed

"But what if he needs to tell you something important?" I ask

"He never has anything important to tell me, he'll be fine," She says

"I think you should pick up," I say grabbing her phone and calling him back

"What are you doing?" She says grabbing her phone from my hands

"Hello?" Daniel's voice said

She sighed and got up, leaving the room

Did she have to leave the room to talk to him? Or is she mad at me?

I got up and went to go find her

I went downstairs and saw the front door open, she must be outside then

As I got closer to the door, I could hear her voice

"Daniel, would you please leave me alone, we don't have anything to talk about. Didn't you say you wanted me to leave you alone? Why are you calling me now? What is so important that you have to tell right now?" She sighed sounding exhausted

There was a long pause, but you couldn't hear anything... like Daniel wasn't speaking whatsoever

"I'm gonna go now, I'll see you soon"
"Wait!" You could hear Daniel say

"Goodbye Daniel," she said and hung up

I walked outside and saw her starring into the distance

"Baby, I think you should go see Daniel," I tell her

"No, I don't want to, he's only gonna keep wasting my time"

"Time on what? He's your brother, at least show that you care"

"I tried to care, I really did!" She raises her voice

She sighed and went inside, coming back out shortly with her things

"Are you gonna go see him now?" I asked

"Nope, I'm gonna go get lost somewhere and hope no one ever finds me again" she sighs

She walks to her car and gets in... Without even saying goodbye...

As she pulled away, I felt a sudden urge to cry, was she mad at me? She always says goodbye, what happened now? Does she not love me anymore?

Daniel's POV

I laid on the hospital bed looking at the ceiling, waiting on something, more like someone...

I missed her, more than I should... But she's happier without me, right?

I gripped the sheets and squeezed my eyes shut, I didn't want to cry, I shouldn't have to cry for her...

But the tears just started falling down

I sat up and covered my face, quietly sobbing

This is all my fault, why the hell did I start liking her in the first place?

"Daniel?"
