"The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please leave a voice messag-"
I let out a low growl and threw my phone against the edge of my bed. I groaned in frustration and put my head in my hands.
Just then, the door to my hospital room opened. I looked up in annoyance only to see Andre's face come into view.
"What got your panties in a twist?" He asked, walking over to me.
I only huffed and stared him down.
"What?" He said, raising his arms as he came to a stand beside me.
I noticed he had a paper bag in one hand, holding food I presumed. Andre set the bag down on the table beside me and started to open it. He was humming a soft tune, avoiding looking at me.
"Where is she?" I asked suddenly.
Andre's happy demeanor instantly deflated. He tried to cover it up, but I already saw through it.
"I don't know man," was all he said, his eyes straying from mine.
"Don't lie to me Andre. She knows I'm here, doesn't she?" I tried again.
Andre tried to busy himself with the bag of food he brought me, his hands shaking.
"Couldn't tell ya man. But look at the bright side, I got you your favourite-"
"Andre," I said sternly, enough to get his attention.
He froze at the table, and after a few moments, he turned to me.
"Why isn't she answering my calls?" I asked, almost desperate this time.
Andre's shoulders deflated. He took a few hesitant steps towards me and took a seat at the edge of my bed. I braced myself to hear some horrible news.
She's got to be hurt.
She's got be stuck somewhere.
Because there's no way she wouldn't come to me when I'm here.
Right?
I stared at Andre, waiting to hear the truth. Andre opened his mouth once, then closed it. He finally took a deep breath and looked up at me.
"She's not coming yet Leo."
All the air left my lungs at his answer.
"What?"
Andre sighed and ran a hand over his face.
"She isn't coming back yet Leo. She... she wants to be with her family right now."
With every word he spoke, my heart shattered even more. I turned to him desperately, now worried that there must be a serious issue going on.
"What's happening there Andre? What's so important that she can't even answer my call?"
Andre stayed silent.
