❝ do you think that i've forgotten about you? ❞

when valerie woke up on october fifteenth, the first thing she throught was 'wow, i have a headache' and the other was 'what the fuck' when she looked at her phone.

    during the night she had received two different voice mails and without even looking at the number, she knew exactly who they were from. she clicked 'play' and immediately started biting her nails.

    "oh, fuck it's gone to voicemail. hey, val, it's me, eli, but you probably know that because you're not an idiot *long pause* — you're actually very smart, even if you don't believe it. i do. i'm getting off topic now. i called you to let you know that i'm still here and i miss you, valerie. *sniffle* i miss you so much, and i don't want you to think i've forgotten about you because i haven't and i won't. ever. i think im stuck with you now. *laugh* i know we haven't spoken in ages, but please don't give up on this because im not giving up on you. *pause, followed by a choked sob* i love you, valerie, and i know you'll hate me for saying it, but i do. i love you so much and i think it's ruining my life because i can't have you—"

    by the time the voice mail cut out, tears were streaming down her face and she was seconds away from throwing her phone at the wall. she didn't want to press on the other voice mail, but the sound of his voice alone had her heart racing and she had no other voice.

    "okay, so, the call cutout because it's absolutely shite. i swear i'm cancelling my three plus. if you want to contact me, do it via carrier pigeon. *very loud laugh* anyway, val i'm stood outside a fucking stingy pub with some fellah who looks like he's after shooting straight fent seven meters away from me, i'm high key scared, but i'm here begging you to not give up. *short pause* i love you, valerie casablancas, and there's nothing you can do about that."

    when the voice mail ended this time, she was laughing. the comment at the start had her cackling at the start and the dedication in his voice at the end had her spluttering out a laugh.

    it was like a light switch flipped in her mind the second she heard his voicez right here right now, she decided, she wasn't going to give up and she was going to fix this.

this is very very short, but next chapter is the last xx
