"Hey this is Luke, I can't get to the phone right now so leave a message after the beep."
I cradled the phone in my hands.
My nightmares are plagued with the sound of his voice from the bathtub.
It was dark and cold, not like the Luke I knew.
The wax was still on the shower wall, I couldn't get it off.
It was 30 minutes past midnight, and I was sat outside under the bright moon.
Setting my phone down, I strip down to my underwear and walk towards the pool.
I jump into the deep end.
'C'mon Luke.'
I waded under the water waiting for his voice.
Nothing.
I swim to the shallow end and rest my back against the wall, sinking until my whole head was submerged .
