Keep This Story Going

always2late · 04-05-2013, 01:26 AM

"Clues, Ang?" She heard a soft, bemused laugh "I would have thought I'd be more memorable than that."

Angie leaned her head back against the recliner, the phone pressed to her ear. Something in the voice WAS familiar, she could feel a memory skittering along the edges of her mind, but couldn't yet grasp it.

"Fifteen years is a long time," she tried to keep her voice light, "give a girl a break." Angie couldn't help it, she was intrigued now despite her initial sense of foreboding. "Ok...three clues. I don't think that's much to ask after fifteen years, do you?" Silence greeted her query, and for a moment she thought that perhaps her mystery caller had tired of this game and hung up.

She was about to hang up the phone, mentally chastising herself for allowing the unknown caller to draw her into this silly diversion, when the voice, liquid and smooth, came back on the line.

"Bellflower Lake"

She gasped, her fingers gripped the phone tighter, knuckles turning white. She could hear her own heartbeat, thudding in her ears.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And then what happened?

Girl_On_Fire · 04-06-2013, 07:59 PM

The name of the place hit her like a punch to the solar plexus. So many emotions flooded through her at once, she felt her breath catch in her throat.

It was hym. Hym. No wonder the voice had sounded so familiar. A pain started in her heart and leaked down into her gut like hot lava. Her hand tightened on the phone as the old hurt hardened in the back of her throat.

"Why are you calling me?"

She was shocked at the tone in her voice. Deeper. Controlled. Cold.

The energy on the other line seemed to shift. She heard an audible sigh.

"So you do remember me." It was a statement, not a question.

"How did you get this number? Why would you call me?"

Another brief pause.

"You're on the website. I never thought I'd see you a forum like that again. Not after what happened. From the screen name, I knew it was you. I clicked on your Facebook profile. You really should change your privacy settings if you're going to have your cell phone number on your page. Anyone can find it you know."

"Obviously." Her voice was pure ice but she didn't hang up. Why didn't she hang up?

"You hate me, don't you?"

"You abandoned me. You seduced me and made me feel things I never even knew existed and then you just vanished. Yes, I hate you."

There was a long pause.

Angelica heard the beating of her own heart in her ears. It was pounding out words of it's own. Screams really. Screams of a battered, lonely place that had only been touched by hym, so many, many years ago.

Softly, and slowly hy spoke almost in a whisper, "I know i deserved that. I was just thinking about you. Wanted to see how you were."

She was sitting straight up in her chair now and at attention. Her mind whirling with thoughts, images, feelings, pain. She fumbled around on the table beside her chair, reaching for her drink, spilling a little with her shaking hand.

She took a small sip. Swallowing hard. "How i am?" She asked as though slightly stalling for time.

Think.

After all of these years, hy decides to call on this night out of the blue. But, that is how hy was, or, used to be. Spontaneous. Surprising.

And certainly and not always, in a good way.

JustBeingMe · 04-07-2013, 10:29 AM

With a raspy but soft spoken voice, hy says " Yes Ang. I want to know how you are doing. I've been thinking about you and it's like I can't seem to stop. I can't get you off my mind. I've tried but I just can't. I"m sorry I just left you like I did. I had to. I joined the military and I had to leave, but I just couldn't say goodbye, I didn't know how to. I couldn't bring myself to tell you goodbye and goodbye to what we had together. I've missed you and longed for you everyday. I'm back in the states now, not far from you. I"m stationed in San Francisco for the next 5 yrs. I plan to retire then, after 20 yrs of service."

Ang gasps, with a lump in her throat, her heart racing, she gets up out of her chair and begins to pace back and forth. She can't believe what hy's saying, she just can't. Hy left her, abandoned and alone, and now after 15 yrs hy decides to call out of the blue.
Think think....... what does he want? what, why would he call and say these things after all this time has passed and the way hy just disappeared on her. Tears begin to flow from her eyes, upsetting her, flooding her with emotions she hasn't had since hy left, and anger too.

Sounding cold, Ang asks " Why are you saying these things to me? What is it that you want? I can't believe your calling me now and don't understand why, especially after the way you left me."

*ehrm..*

Just as a reminder this is in the quiz and games section. Totally out where everyone can see. Might want to keep it relatively PG. Know what I mean? *nudge nudge wink wink*

Girl_On_Fire · 04-07-2013, 10:38 PM

Silence on the other end.

"The military?" Ang was skeptical. "That's not what I heard at all. Not what I saw. One minute the world revolved around me, the next you were with that girl you were talking to. It was like an insta-relationship. When did the military thing happen?"

Hy sighed again.

"After her and the whole thing is complicated. Very complicated. It's too much to try to explain over the phone. Can we meet?"

Her head was spinning.

"What? Meet?"

Was hy serious?

This was all going way too fast.

Then she pictured hym in her mind's eye. Tall, lean, muscular, dark hair, and piercing blue eyes. Hys leather jacket. Hys hands. The way hy smelled. She remembered everything and she suddenly wanted to curl into a ball and cry.

"Are you still there?" Hys voice was gentle and imploring.

Girl_On_Fire · 04-09-2013, 10:39 PM

Anybody want to take the wheel here?

"Noooo" she barely gurgled into the phone, with her head under the pillow, her body curled in the fetal position. He sighed again, " Ang, I know the pillow is over your head and your all curled up in the fetal position. I'm coming over there now!" Suddenly she saw red, and went livid with fury. She jumped off her bed like a tiger, snapping the hand-cuffs off her wrists, and hissed, "Grr-r-r-r-r-r! I hate you! Do what you want with me!" And spit into the phone. Hy laughed at her, "Ha! Ha! That's my Honey!"
