I left.
And I can tell you that I didn't feel well. Not even when I left my apartment. It was always the place that I would go to, even when I had nobody. And now that I was on the road, it was so weird. I left the one place where I was myself, where I was.
Now I wasn't there, there was me on the road. And I don't even feel like it.
Can you tell me what you saw? What was the weather like?
I could never forget the weather that day. It was like looking at a Polaroid.
The sky was a very deep blue, some of it was like neon blue. Neon that I wanted to see. And there were so many clouds in the sky after it rained that I didn't want them to go away. I wanted them to stay for the night.
And stay right here. Stay night, as if it was fate.
Maybe fate would've brought me something.
Maybe it would've brought you the magic.
Are you joking with me?
Yeah, sorry. I don't think they'll get the reference. Probably because I made it too shallow or indistinguishable, but.... you know the drill.
o...k.....
Anyway, how was Luca on the trip? And how were you?
I was falling apart.
I was becoming emotional, angry sometimes. I remember when I was on the highway, one of the cars was honking at me. Trying to pick a fight. I showed them a piece of my mind.
And I'm just giving everything I have to not get angry.
But Luca? Oh, sweet Jesus. She was just as beautiful as the day I first saw her. Even better. She was just looking out the window, some earbuds in her ears. She had this sort of wonder in her eyes, maybe it was just me. But whenever I looked up at the rear-view mirror, I would always see her there.
I liked her better with her red hair cut short, she looked like a little fox. I don't think it was naturally red, it was probably dyed red. That's what it looked like to me. But I remember how she looked when she had long hair, now she had short hair....
Just as a question, did you absolutely want to kiss her then and there?
Yes. No doubt I wanted to.
I mean...
You don't have to give me all the details. I mean, I just... like, you don't have to. That's all I'm saying.
True.
But.... I don't know.
What about the stripper you told me about?
Yeah, what about her?
Did you catch her name?
Maiolaine. She goes by Maio.
Cool. That actually sounds pretty cool.
I know, right?
Weird question, but are you friends with her now?
Yeah, I got her phone number. So we were kinda like a fucked up, weird version of 'friends with benefits'.
I mean, I was fine with her. Besides the sex, I did find her to be someone who could listen. I mean, would you be weirded about by him, technically? Wouldn't you be?
I don't know, I guess. What about Kaylon?
I didn't try to contact him at all at that time. I was angry, I was filled with hate. I don't think that I could've handled him, I believed he could've handled life better when I wasn't there. I was an asshole.
I'm human. But I....
Listen, it's not all your fault ok? It was never your fault. I know, I've been there before. You just gotta trust me when I say this, even though it does sound very cliche.
I know.
It just kinda does.
And I just remember the road on the way there, it was winding. And it was nicely built, sometimes it would be like it was blue. Like the blue from the sky. And I remember the blue reflecting in her eyes.
It just kinda does.

*sounds of silence. nothing here, nothing there. probably the hum of the light as well, but nothing more than silence.*
*instantly, rustling of sheets. and more of the rustling of sheets and a slight mechanical click. more rustling of the sheets followed by a very quiet gasp and some rapid breaths, then more rustling of the sheets*
LUCA: Im sorry, I forgot that you texted me. How are you doing?
*ten to fifteen minutes pass. luca falls asleep in the bed, still waiting but never getting a response.*
*and just as simple as that, a simple vibration. it woke luca up slowly, before more rustling of the sheets. she then got the phone and looked at the text message.
KAYLON: Sorry. I'm doing better.
LUCA: How's Sky doing?
LUCA: Just a question, just asking.
KAYLON: She's asleep now. I'm in the living room eating, I wasn't expecting you.
LUCA: sorry
*some time passes*
KAYLON: Look, you shouldn't be sorry. This happens all the time to me. If someone wants to talk to me in the night or whenever, I'm always happy to talk for a little bit.
KAYLON: So you're fine, love. You don't have t be sorry.
LUCA: K.
LUCA: Can you tell her that I said hi? I wonder if she remembers me
*a few seconds go by*
KAYLON: She does remember you. She asked me yesterday if I could ask you how she was doing. I don't think it's noticeable, but she misses you very much. If you do have her phone number, I think it would be wise if you would text her soon.
KAYLON: She does miss you, alot.
LUCA: K.
*a few seconds pass by*
LUCA: I've been through a lot, recently.
KAYLON: Like what?
KAYLON: I'm here for you.
*about a minute passes*
LUCA: It's like almost midnight here. David's asleep, but he's been having a rough day. He hasn't really talked to me much, he's always staring at me and he's always quiet. I don't know what to do.
LUCA: I think he's depressed.
*some time passes*
KAYLON: Well, I don't want to sound rude, but I do think he's been depressed for a long time.
KAYLON: I don't think I'm the first one to think or say this, but I do think that David is in love with you. I don't know why, but I do believe that he is in love with you. He always looks at you, always tries his best whenever you are around and is usually silent.
LUCA: I've been thinking that as well.
KAYLON: But I have to ask you. Are you in love with him as well?
*some more time passes*
KAYLON: Should I stop?
LUCA: No, you're fine. Yes, I am in love with him. But I just don't know about it...
KAYLON: I had a feeling that it would be like that, I did have a feeling. Forgive me if I get too personal, but would you ever date him?
*some time, again*
LUCA: Yes, but I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure.
KAYLON: Is it because of him?
LUCA: No.
KAYLON: Not him.644Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8GO0GrPpb
