She pressed the
green circle and
placed the cellular
to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Marianna...
Something important
came up.

So,

I won't be able
make it in time.

I hope you
understand."

"Oh, okay..."

He hung up.

She started to tremble.

Her vision blurred
with a strong
ache in
her chest.

Tears fell
from either side of her face.

Her back against the wall
before sliding down
on the
hard cold floor.

She covered her mouth.

And began
to silently cry.

'See, Marianna.

He doesn't love you.

He doesn't care about
you.

So, what exactly are
you waiting for?
