Phone Call

340 38 6
                                    

I throw my bag on to my bedroom floor and slump down on to my bed.

"Ugly"
"Freak"
"Homo"
The words pierce through my skin like a newly sharpened kitchen knife.
I just can't do this anymore.

Bzzz bzzz bzzz.

"Hello?" I sob through the phone.

"Ash it's me, are you crying?"

"Luke. I don't want to be here anymore."

"Ash, plea-"

"I can't be here anymore, I just want to be happy. I can't be happy here. I need to leave."

"Then leave, come to me. If that makes you happy."

"I don't mean in Australia."

"Oh."

"Sing to me, Luke."

"And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on, now."

I let the tears fall down my face as I willingly embraced the lyrics coming from a voice of the angels.

"Thank you."

"Feel better?"

"Much."

"Good. I gotta go, I've got an acoustic set in a bit, be strong okay?"

"I'll try. Goodbye."

"Later, loser."
