Well, here it goes. Comment please!
Prologue:
"Hey, Joe." Lilly co.cked her head to the side, wondering why her long-time boyfriend was calling right before their date.
"Hi," he said shyly, weaving throughout the backstage rooms, trying to find a quieter area. "What are you doing?"
"Getting ready for our date." She glanced up at the clock that hung above her vanity. "Which starts in fifteen minutes," she giggled.
A sigh escaped Joe's lips and transferred into the ear piece of Lilly's phone.
"Is everything alright?" She slid silver chandellier earrings into the small piercing.
"I can't make it tonight," he said abruptly after a long pause.
"Huh?"
"I'm sorry." Someone shouted Joe's name from across the hall, signaling that it was time for him to hang up. "I have to go; I love you." Click.
"Okay, bye." A salty tear rolled down her cheek, just like the ones that did when this happened last time. "I doubt you love me," Lilly whispered as she flipped her cell phone shut and threw it at the wall, watching it smash to pieces.
Sorry. That was all he ever had to say.
Pretty bad, I know. But it will get better - pinky swear. Comments?
