บท 17: Chapter 17

#Chapter 17

Nothing.

Not a drip of a faucet.

Not a tick of a clock.

Not a creak of an old floorboard.

Not a sound.

/"I am so fucking bored!/" I yell out, not necessarily yelling it to anybody

I mean- it's not like I even can.

I am home alone on an early Friday afternoon.

I remove my new ice pack from my nose and open my cellphone using a passcode.

Once my cellphone is completely unlocked I click on the phone icon and dial Ruby's number.

I wait until it starts ringing to bring it up to my ear.

It takes a few moments but Ruby eventually picks up the phone.

/"What's up?/" She instantly asks

I sigh and flop back onto my mattress with a pout.

/"I'm so bored/" I dramatically drag out

Ruby laughs at my pain as if it were a joke.

/"What do you want me to do about it?/" She asks

I roll my eyes at the slight attitude in her tone of voice.
