   I've been trying to get some sleep but I keep thinking about my past with my dad. I feel so sad. I miss him so much. I'm in my room just looking into the darkness. Could this be how the rest of my life is going to be, a world full of darkness? Will I ever change? Am I lost in the darkness? Can someone find me? Or do I have to find myself? So many questions... But no answers. My phone starts to ring.  How can possibly be calling me at this time of night? I grab my phone and look at the call. It's unrecognized. "Hello?" I asked. "Hi, is this Minica?" It was a male voice and he sounded so familiar. "Yes, who's this?" I asked

"Hey, Minica it's me, Rogelio." He said

"Oh, hey, what's up?"

"Oh, nothing I just called to apologize again. I feel really bad and I can't go to sleep, so...."

I sighed, "it's ok man. I forgive you."

"I'm glad you do... So were you asleep?"

"No, I was just lying here on my bed trying to get some sleep for the past few hours."

"Something in your mind?"

"No." I said a little too fast, but he didn't notice.

"You sure."

"Yup...what about you, what are you doing?"

"Nothing just trying to get some sleep as well." He said laughing a little.

"Wow, so is that all you called me for?"

".... Umm.... Yeah I guess."

I smiled,"are you sure?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm... Sure."

"Well okay."

"Well I'll hang up so you can enjoy some beauty sleep."

"Alrighty, bye."

"Bye, love." He hanged up. Did he just say 'love'? No, I must have imagined it. Since that's what I've been doing most of my time.
