When You Run, You Eventually Have to Stop
“ It wasn’t the reaction he was hoping for. Declan had hoped that when this—his darkest secret—came to light he would accept it with humility and grace. Some sort of action that would never cause him to look back in regret. But he switched his phone off, and ran. He didn’t even want to guess what Simon was possibly thinking about him; he could tell by the amount of calls ‘missed’ on his mobile, which were well into the double digits. Although Simon hadn’t left as many voice messages as... he had attempts to call, they had become increasingly panicked each time.
“Please, just call me,” the last one, from only twelve minutes ago, had said. “Dec, I really need to talk to you. Or even if you can’t talk, just text. Just let me know you’re still out there.” A pause, so long that Dec had thought he hadn’t hung up properly. “Just let me know you’re okay.”
Jesus, did Simon think he was going to kill himself, or something? No, he wouldn’t think that. But he would be sick with worry. He could hear the desperation in Simon’s voice, and Dec knew that even though it was in no way Simon’s fault he would still be blaming himself for it all.MoreLess
