THE CALL.

A boy and a girl were the best of friends. They could talk and talk for what seemed like hours, spending all their time on the phone.

And when they were speaking to each other it was like there was nothing wrong in the world, they could never be unhappy or sad in those moments.

One day, the girl texted the boy and he didn’t reply which was most unusual. She tried again but to no avail. Finally, she called him but there was no answer.

An entire day passed and the boy was not available through phone or text. The girl started getting worried that something was definitely wrong.

That subsequent evening, the young lady couldn't rest and remained up the entire evening stressing and crying. It was then she understood exactly how much the boy really intended to her.

The following morning notwithstanding, she got a call. It was the boy ! She was so blissful and when she got the call…

Boy: Hello!

Girls : I'm so happy to hear from you, what was the deal?

Boy: I… I was… occupied.

[The young lady realize that something was off yet she couldn't ask.]

[silence]

Boy: You know what, we ought to stop this. We shouldn't talk any longer.

Girl: [stunned silence] What? Why?

Boy: Sorry. Bye.

[Boy cuts the call. The young lady can barely handle it, maybe she has lost a piece of her.]

All their previous discussions began blazing before her eyes.

She began crying, tears were gushing down her face.

She was lost and confounded.

She felt broken, miserable and alone.

She was remaining on the rooftop and needed to bounce.

He was an ideal one for her, why had he done that?

"Why?!" she hollered as uproariously as she could from the rooftop.

Then she decided she was going to try and win him back.

[She dialled his number]

Girl: Hey

Boy: What did you call me for?

Girl: I need to say something.

Boy: Go ahead.

Girl: I wanted to say just one thing…

[Her voice choked. “He doesn’t care about me,” she thought.]

Boy: Say it!

Girl: Would you say you are alright?

[Silence]

The tears were spilling down her face once more. She hung up, and chose to compose a note and ran out of the house with it.

[Six hours passed]

[Telephone rings in boys  room]

It's the young ladies mother. She lets him know that the young lady got hit by a vehicle when she was on route to see the boy and that t been admitted in the hospital.

The boy rushed to see her.

He reached and took her name, she opened her eyes.

Boy: Please be okay, I’m so sorry.

Girl: Why did you do that?

Boy: I have a heart condition and I don’t have many days to live. I didn’t want to hurt you.

Girl closes her eyes, never to wake up again.

Boy couldn't believe this happened because of him.

10 minutes later the boy get heart attack and dies from grief.
