LEONOR
PRESENT DAY
My brows furrow and my eyes pinch tight at the low buzzing of the
phone on the table next to me. It’s a rhythmic reminder, a
constant humming in my head that despite my many attempts, I
am in fact, still here. Alive and breathing. Existing. I have failed to
disappear, and no one is going to let me be forgotten, not completely. And
that is fucking annoying.
So is the fact that my phone has been ringing nonstop for almost two
hours now. Two hours and eleven seconds based on my count, with no end
in sight.
I know this because I don’t sleep anymore, not in the traditional sense,
and the slightest noise will have me jolting upright faster than the speed of
light.
On a good night, I may drift into a sleep-like state for an hour or two
before my fear rips me from a faux slumber and the weight of my reality
returns, taking its rightful place sitting heavily on my chest. A fucking
elephant that won’t leave me alone.
And today, like most days, that reality comes crashing down on me in
the form of repeated phone calls from the only person left to make the effort
to contact me.
Without even looking I know who’s been calling, and I know exactly
why they’ve been blowing my ass up, too.
“Justine, do you have any idea what time it is?” The questions spill from
my lips in the low, gruff growl that has become my normal speaking voice
because I use it so little. At least I’m not grunting one-word responses
anymore.
“Yes. Which is why I’ve been calling you over and over all morning.
You were supposed to be at work almost forty-five minutes ago.” Her
melodic voice rises at the end of her sentence before it drops a few octaves
down into stern. “You have one shot at this. One. I know it’s scary, I know
it’s hard but if you don’t start taking control of your life and taking things
seriously, you are going to stay stagnant in your misery and grief. Both of
which are completely self-imposed and could be quickly remedied. You
have to start taking care of yourself. You have to start doing everyday things
like normal people, you can’t…”
I set the phone back down on the nightstand and scrub my hands over
my face.
It is way too early for this shit.
With a sigh, I attempt to pull myself from my coffin-like bed, the mildly
comforting warmth and peaceful reprieve created by the cocoon of my
pillows and blankets begging me to sink back in, to crawl inside and hide,
to never come out again.
Unfortunately, fate—and Justine—have other plans. Ones that start
early as hell.
