No One Can Hurt me as much as You Can.

2:00 am.
My cell rings.
'Hello.' I pick up the call wondering who it could be.
'Hey. It's me.'

 It takes me a minute to realize that it's actually her.
'You are still awake? I thought you might have fallen asleep by now. Sorry for calling so late.'
After the events that transpired today, I hadn't thought that she would have the courage to talk.

 'Yeah! 'em awake. You say.' I hear her soft breath and wait for her to start talking.
'See... I know you are angry. And hurt. But what you did wasn't right. You ain't just my friend. You are my family. Why did you react like that?' I could feel her voice shaking as she continued to speak.
 'I know I did wrong. I should have told you... But... At least you should have given me a chance to explain myself? Never in my scariest nightmares had I imagined you walking away like that. Like we were strangers.' And then she burst out crying.

 Was I the devil? Was I the one torturing her?
No. No No. No. She did wrong. She should've said something.
There shouldn't be secrets in a family.

 'We were friends before. But not now. You are the one who broke us apart. You are the one who let me walk away.' Saying that I cut the call.
