"Tilly can't take your call right now, please leave a message after the tone and when you're done, just hang up"

*Beep*

I look enquiringly at Lilah and she nods, so I start speaking into the phone.

"Hi Tilly it's Jamie. I'm really really sorry about today. The thing is, I love you, you're everything to me, but I don't think I mean that much to you. I understand if you are mad at me, anybody would be in this situation. It's just that maybe we should move on, I love you but I think we should go our separate ways so this is goodbye, please call me back."

I hang up, taking a deep breath. Wow, that was hard.

I don't know what's going on, but I've planned to meet Tilly by the cinema anyway. We're watching a movie, I guess.

"Keiran!" I hear her shout after seeing me.

"Hi Tilly." I reply with an awkward hug. I have so many questions but it probably isn't the best time now.

The crowd pulls us along and Tilly stays by my side as we walk into the cinema. I hand our tickets to the lady by the desk, noticing they are for Guardians of the Galaxy. I love that film.

The lady smiles at me as she takes the tickets and we grab a few drinks and popcorn on our way into the big screen. It's dark in there and I can hardly see a thing but I follow the sound of Tilly's footsteps to Row E, where our seats are.

As we take our places the commercial breaks and the trailers appear on screen so I grab the moment to send a text to Lilah.

Me: Hey :3

She replies almost straightaway.

Lilah: wuut?

I decide not to tell her I'm at a movie with her best friend since that probably won't go down very well.

Me: cinema, gotta switch my phone off soon gtg.

Lilah: Byyyyye

Soon the movie starts and we are together in the darkness for a long time.
