Chapter forty

                   

He walks towards me and writes a note,

I don't open my eyes ,I don't move until he leaves

He drops it by the bed and watches for a second then he leaves,

I adjust the drip on my hand and pick the paper up

"I will be back soon"

Is soon an hour ?

A day ?

A month?

Is soon going to feel like an eternity, that I don't know,

I sit upright for the first time in like forever,

I miss sitting ,I miss date and rosa and car,

I call dante and he picks

Amber where are you?

I am safe I said,

I wince as I adjust on the bed,

He hears me groan ,I hear myself too

He says "really?

I said I am fine ,I will tell you all about it when I get to the house,

Okay he said not satisfied with the talk but he allows me have my space

He trust I am okay 

And agrees

He says he and aunt rosa miss me , he tells me car called and he asked of me

He tells me about carl's roommates 

He tells me he will like to see me soon.

I tell him okay

He hangs up and I heave a sigh of relief

I call carl and we talk for a while

He tells me about Hendrix , emilia and Ethan.

I don't tell him much I just listen to him.

I am happy he is making friends ,I am worried about Hendrix though, but I don't say anything.

I listen and my silence echo and he knows I miss him.

I miss his composure and strength but I mid his weirdness.

But I don't tell him

I just listen to him and then he said something

Have you got a boyfriend yet?

Yes I have you?

"Ewww-eewww,

I am not your boyfriend, he said laughing

He says" alright sis I have to go, later

He hung up before I say anything

I muster some energy to smile 

I am really tired now and hungry but my legs are too week to leave the bed,

I am starting to feel abandoned, I feel alone

I want to eat something now ,I want to drink too juice and shakes,

Some meatballs ,I want to eat a whole lot of things.

But I can't order ,I will need to go open the door and pay on delivery,

I think calling Antonio will be a good choice but then I dismiss the thought

He will be too busy but why should I care I say dialling his cell.

When it starts to ring I realize it is a mistake,

But I don't hang up until he picks

I am hungry I said in a soft voice,

Okay he replies and hangs up.

I look at the cell my brow furrowed.

I can't invite anyone to his apartment ,I can't say where I am.

After a while the door opens and I see Antonio holding pizza
