“Hello? Speak!”
There wasn’t a response, so I hung up. Who makes prank calls so early in the morning?
But there was this uneasy feeling. What if it wasn’t a prank call? Could it be Gillian? Nah. She knew I couldn’t even wake up at 5, why would she even bother calling at 3?
With that thought, I fell asleep again.
Ring! Ring! Damn. Why did my phone always have to ring in the morning?
“Hello?”
“Wake up…Time…for school.”
It’s 5. I didn’t even need to look at my alarm clock. Gillie was always right on time.
Why did she sounded as if she had just a tiny bit of energy left in her? Perhaps she stayed up late last night talking to her grandma.
“Don’t sleep or…I…I won’t be able to…to wake you up. Get to school…Watch out for cars!”
Cars? Psh, as if I would purposefully run into one and try to kill myself.
Gillie is weird this morning. She normally would be more energetic, but she sounded a bit worried and today.
“You rest well too, okay? I’m relying on you tomorrow too!”
“Mm. If I can…”
What did she mean? There was something wrong with her.
Crap! It’s 5:20 already!
“I love you Gillie! Get some rest. You sound tired. I’m gotta run now, ‘kay? Or I will be late. Love ya!”
I heard her cry. “Soo…sorry…”
Beep. I hung up the phone quickly.
Wait. Why was she crying? Did she just say sorry to me?
And, why did she call me so late? She would never call a minute after 5. let alone 5:20. Was she still mad at me about yesterday’s morning call?
.
The moment I stepped into school, I ran to the teacher’s lounge to tell the teacher about Gillie’s absence.
“Morning, Ms. Anderson. Gillie told me to tell you that she won’t be coming to school today. She went to …”
Ms. Anderson broke down almost instantly. Were there something going on that I did not know about? First Gillie this morning, now my teacher?!
An uneasy feeling crept up to my heart again. “Why are you crying?”
She turned away from me, and the next thing that came out of her mouth shocked me. “Gillian…Gillian and her family…when they left home, a truck crashed into them. Gillian…she was certified this morning.”
No! No! No! This must be an early April fool joke! This couldn’t be!
“She just called me this morning! This MORNING!” I yelled. I didn’t care if I looked like a maniac in front of all those people in the lounge. Nothing could be worse than Gillie leaving me forever. Not even people seeing me as a weakling, crying over his girlfriend’s death. Nothing could be worst than this.
“You’re LYING. This CAN’T be! This just can’t be!”
It was too much. Someone, just someone, please tell me that Gillian is by her grandma’s side. Please? Pretty please? This can’t be true! It’s a lie! It’s just a horrible joke! It’s just a prank that someone played on me. Yes. This must be it! A prank to make me cry. To show that I had a weak point after all.
I felt someone’s arms pulling me up. “I’ll bring you to her.”
Yes. Thank you! This was a joke after all!
.
Her body was cold. Icy cold. The horrible truth was lying right in front of my eyes. The nurse gave me her few last belongings. Her pink cell phone and the ring I gave her a few days ago. Her last call was to me.
I felt empty inside me. How could I have hung up on her like that? Without a good bye and all? This was too much for me.
“Wake up!” I shook the bed. “Get up! It’s time for school!”
Tears starting running down my cheeks. She was just playing a joke on me. “Get up!” I cried. I cried until I had no more energy to.
.
By the time I got home, I had no more energy to do anything. I just curled up on my bed and cried myself to sleep.
.
Cling! Cling! Cling!
It was my first time hearing my alarm clock!
“Oh my god! Evil Gillian! You didn’t call me!” That was the first thought that came to my mind. After I sat up on bed, I finally realized that it wasn’t Gillie’s fault. She was no longer here, and I broke down again.
Because she would no longer call me…for real this time.
.
A person who really loves you will not say how much s/he loves you. Instead, s/he would do many things that mirror their love to you.
If you have such a person around you, cherish them because once you miss them you might not meet another such wonderful person…
The world’s most faraway distance is not earth and death. It’s when I stand right in front of you but you never know how much I love you.
