Drabbles - Nia
🕑 Added 2025-01-21 20:50:11 +0000 UTCEven though you know it's futile. You called so many times already. You can clearly see when you're not wanted. But it's Nia. Your dignity goes out the window with her and you can't leave without saying goodbye.
The ringing stops as it's done countless times in the past week. The robotic voice asks you to leave a message. As if all you felt for her could be encapsulated in a telephone voice message of a minute.
But even if you can make her know a fraction of it it'll be worth it. When your friends with someone you love, you think you'll have enough time to tell them. You thought you were given decades.
"Hey, Nia," you say into the phone. "I'm guessing you're not home. I just wanted to call to tell you that I'm leaving tomorrow morning. I don't know when I'll be back. I just wanted to say... I don't know what you think of me now but I need you to know what I think of you. I don't know when it happened or why..."
You roll your eyes and sigh. Closing your eyes for the fall off the cliff you say the words that have lived in your mind for years.
“If I never see you again, just know that I love you so, so much," you confess. And it feels like a bullet through your heart.
You hang up quickly, already regretting your choice but what's done is done. You wish you could hope she hears it and calls you back or better yet comes to see you one last time to tell you she feels the same.
But when Nia does come home from a shift at the hospital and eagerly goes to her answering machine hoping to hear her Birdie's voice, to give her that push she needs to tell them everything; she finds that she's received no messages.
