Seen at 2:13 AM

She sent:

“Are you awake?”

Seen.

No reply.

She sent another:

“I really need someone to talk to.”

Seen.

Still nothing.

She put her phone down and cried herself to sleep.

At 2:13 AM, her phone vibrated.

A message:

“Sorry. I didn't know what to say.”

She stared at it.

Then typed:

“You could've just said, ‘I'm here.’”

Three dots appeared.

Then disappeared.

No reply.

Sometimes people don't leave your life dramatically.

Sometimes they just slowly stop knowing how to stay.
