Ch. 40 Apologies

I call Will

but he doesn't answer.

I feel relieved

more than anything else.

I get sent to voicemail.

I hear the beep

but I don't speak

for several seconds.

I have to pinch myself

to get my voice

to start working.

"I'm sorry,"

I blurt out

right before

the message gets cut off.

He'll know it was me

that called.

He'll be able to hear the tears in my voice.

He won't know

why I'm apologizing

because he doesn't know

what really happened that night.

He knows I was driving the car.

But he doesn't know

why we left the party early,

why we couldn't call him to come pick us up.

He doesn't know what Charlotte and I did.

But I can't tell him.

I promised I wouldn't.

But he has to know how sorry I am.
