I will find you
Mei suddenly regained the energy that had slowly been drained out of her body. She didn’t know if it was shock or disbelief, but something had kept her holding on to life in that moment
Mei
PLEASE TELL ME THATS YOU
Mei
I’m sorry I’ll be back in a minute
Mei’s fingers trembled as she sent her last text. Her eyes began to water and clear drops rolled down her face and splashed onto her phone screen. But then Mei stopped trembling. The realisation that she wasn’t all alone had hit her like a drum. The spark that her mind had worked so hard to extinguish had just been doused with gasoline.
Mei
No. If it’s about you disappearing then I don’t want to talk
Violet
But we have to. I need you to know that I’m sorry. I acted like you knew nothing about my circumstances even though I knew you were all by yourself long before I was.
Violet
But I’m never making that mistake again.
Violet
Mei I don’t care if you hate me, you’re all I have left. No matter where you are, no matter how much you beg me to leave you alone, I will find you.
Violet
No it’s a promise.
Violet
You dragged me out of a dark place those years ago. It’s my turn to save you
Mei
I’m coming to find you too then
Violet
You need to eat, sleep and drink water regularly.
Mei
Wait how do you know I haven’t been doing that?
Violet
I might as well die with you
Violet
Well if you want me to live, then you better live too
Violet
You should sleep now
Violet
Oh don’t forget to eat something too
Violet
Thankyou for staying alive for me
Violet
Thankyou for waiting
Mei
Don’t flatter yourself. It’s not like I was waiting for you specifically
Despite Violet telling Mei to go to sleep, Mei stayed up all night staring at her texts, a hint of a smile and blush creeping across her face.
