Chapter 32 -
"I know that I'll regret
it"
Nicole's
P.O.V
The cold rain splatters thickly on the windows of the apartment
I managed to rent last minute.
I yank the curtains to hide the windows, hating the depressive
sight. Or at least depressive to me right now, I
usually love rain. The walls of the apartment are plain white.
One bedroom, one bathroom, and a kitchen/living room.
That's all there is. I sit on a small grey couch the
previous owner of the apartment so kindly sold to me for a low
price. Not having much to do, I fiddle with the ring on my
finger. Ring... A cold chill runs through me. I didn't
return the engagement ring Caleb gave me. I've grown
accustomed to wearing it, so I forget it was there altogether.
Suddenly my phone rings. I answer it
without checking the caller ID. "Hello?" I
ask absently. "Mommy?" A soft voice says. I sigh.
"Oh, Carrie, hello" I reply, saddened since she
called me mommy. "Mommy, where my
shoes’s’?" Carrie asks me, speaking in a
clipped sentence since she’s young. I know her well
enough to understand what she's asking. "In the closet
honey, in the plastic container" I tell her. "Thwank
you" Carrie says. "Where's your daddy? I mean,
doesn't he know where your shoes are?" I ask out of
curiosity. "Daddy is with my other mommy" Carrie
tells me, her voice sounds sad. "They
talking."
"Oh, that's nice “Is all I manage to say.
"I miss you” Carrie tells me. “I miss you too,
Carrie” I say. “I need go now, bye” Carrie
says. “Bye Carrie, take care of yourself and your brother
darling” I reply. A soft click tells me that Carrie hung
up. I lean back on the couch.
Once again, I am alone.
