His Scar

Yes, this time I really made him angry. 4


I don’t wait a whole week before contacting him, like I did the first time Sean distanced himself from me. No, I’m not that big of an idiot.


I call him that night before going to sleep because I don’t like the thought of him being mad at me. I probably deserve it, but this doesn’t mean I’m as happy as a pig in shit, or rather, bullshit.


The problem is Sean doesn’t answer. Not the first nor the second time I call. So I decide to send him an apology by text, but he doesn’t answer that, either.


I sit on my bed, cell phone in hand, staring at the screen, wishing I could make it ring or force it to display a new text notification. But there are no messages and no calls.
