Sylvia tapped her fingers on the table, her gaze shifting to her phone that only laid centimeters away from her fingertips. For the last few months, nothing had worked out for her. She lost her job. She then lost a family member in a car accident. Then, she had to end a four-year relationship with her ex. She had became tight on money and would work around the city, doing the tiniest of jobs just to earn some money. Now, her phone was going to be cut off. She wanted to make one call but... she knew it was risky. Almost without thinking, she picked up her phone and dialed a number before waiting for the person to pick up. Ring... Once. Riiing... twice. Riii- "Hello?" A familiar voice asked.
"Hey. I um-" before she could get another word out, the person cut her off.
"Sorry, wrong number." The familiar voice said, about to hang up.
"W-wait." She stuttered out, causing the person to stop and listen. "I'm... I'm sorry about what happened. You know I was going through a rough time. I've... I've missed you and I just need some help. Just, please, hear me out."
The person sighed on the other end of the call then shook their head. "I'm sorry. I can't help you.." They said, before hanging up.
Sylvia took a shaky breath, hearing the call click off. She turned off her phone then placed it on the table, not looking at it. She knew she was screwed now. She had no help. The money she was getting wasn't going to support her. After that day, no one in the town had heard or seen her. No one knew that the heartbroken girl was no more and the world didn't recognize her absence.
