why? because
as she looks at her phone
/number cannot be reached/
chery
/sent just now/
Oops! Silly me, I forgot to tell you... calls to another dimension can only be allowed at a certain time of the day. Every 7pm
how did she forget to tell me this?
can I just message him then?
chery
/sent just now/
Also! Only 1 call is allowed each day, no messages, no pictures, no voice-mail
A few agonizing hours later
Aaron answered the call, but did not say a word
you
So, what do you want to talk about?
Normally she can't keep a conversation going, because she's mostly the listener friend
but oh this was easy! There were lots of questions that needed to be addressed. Like:
Who she is, or how did she manage to speak to him using a phone - Does he even know what a phone is?
as she waited for his answer, he finally spoke
Aaron
I already know everything
Aaron
everything about this
you
Then I suppose you won't ask questions anymo-
Aaron
although I have one I need an answer to
Aaron
why did you do this to me?
Aaron
Making me the antagonist, someone everyone hates
anger and sadness was evident in his voice
Aaron
I know this is supposed to be a story only
Aaron
but every time someone reads me- reads my life, I am always the bad guy
Aaron
do they not understand my good intentions?
they do, I'm sorry. Let me explain-
Aaron
Every. Damn. Time the story replays my intentions are all a nuisance, it doesn't matter if I enjoy pain, if I like the dark places, I am always the villain
tears began to form in her eyes
you
listen- when I made this - when I created you I always pictured out the worst
she was now crying silently
you
I had imagined the bad guy who everyone hates, wishes to be gone
you
And the cruel fate he- you will end up with
Aaron was now listening intently, he could not bear to hear another word, but he somehow could not stop listening to what she has to say
you
I am the worst, I know. While Atlas received praise and good, you had the opposite
you
however I do not wish to change any of that
Taken aback, Aaron scoffed angrily
it was as if she knew what he had been through
she hadn't, and she had no right to say that
Aaron was about to say something when he heard more crying sniffs from the other line
you
do you know why I said all those things?
She sounded more stern, as she said her next words
you
You mentioned being hated, loathed, wished bad upon, yeah?
you
my opinions never mattered
you
my feelings were never bothered to be significant
you
But enough of my sad story- I created the book, I created you with all the imperfections
Aaron
you want someone else to feel how you do?
Aaron
Because if that's the case, then-
you
No! No- I never meant any of that
you
I wanted people to see
you
And realize, that the villain is the most human one in a story
you
When the heroes propose good and angelic deeds, always too perfect, it doesn't sound believable
you
but you - do not call yourself the bad guy
you
you are only showing what you really feel
you
and when people love you
you
they love all your bad parts too
you
doesn't that sound more humane than loving only someone's good side?
Aaron
yeah, I suppose it does
Aaron
I never hide myself from what I truly feel just because I'm afraid someone might hate me
Aaron
they all hate me, so why bother?
He sounded like he was smiling
nobody hated him, in fact her books became knows for having the most "un-villanized villains"
people loved him, despite his imperfections
you
so, what's with the sudden outburst?
Wiping her tears, she tries to bring the lightness back
you
are you on your period or something?
He laughs along on the line and decided to play along
maybe he wasn't so miserable after all
talking to her made him realize that
Aaron
I have blood on my hands everyday
he could her gasp, so he laughs a little at that
Aaron
Don't worry, they're animal blood
Aaron
I hunt the forest to pass the time
Aaron
you gave me that hobby
they both said at the same time
you
Are we really doing this right now?
she is happy they're now talking so casually now
Aaron
I'm just curious about my creator
you
So you want to get to know me then?
Aaron
I meant that i want to know more about you- ah!
On the other line, she could hear him sigh
Aaron
it's almost midnight
when midnight comes, that means it is the next day
and they are only allowed one call per day, at 7pm each night
Aaron
I'm so sorry sweetie
Aaron
we'll have to say goodbye now
he said in a teasing tone
Aaron
don't miss me too much
Aaron
I promise we'll talk more tommorow!
you
I'll look forward to it!
