On my birthday, Simon called several times. I watched the phone screen light up and then go dark. Eventually, I answered.
"Why did you take so long to answer?" His voice was noisy.
"I was asleep," I whispered.
"Did you have cake?" he asked.
I nodded, "Yes."
"Did you spend your birthday with my parents?"
How could I let them see see how I look now? I told them I was traveling, wanting to see another side of the world, and it would be a long time before I returned.
"No," I said with a smile, "I spent it with friends."
He was silent for a second. "Dr. Damen?"
He has been my closest friend for many years.
"Yes, he bought the cake. Annoyingly, He even bought me a cake that's one year older than me."
In fact, it's been quite some time since I've seen Dr.damon.
Simon just hummed.
"I've been experiencing stomach pains and heartaches, during which I was in so much agony that I rolled on the floor," I tried to said it playfully, but my hoarse voice spoiled the effect. "Can you come back soon? I want to see you." Have you heard the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'?
Once, Simon and Eve were going on a business trip together. I wanted to go too, but Simon refused. I threatened suicide. On the night before their departure, I messaged him that if he didn't take me, I would end my life.
I was just venting, but he believed it.
Simon rushed over. I was sitting cross-legged on the floor, brandishing a blunt dinner knife at my wrist.
His initially anxious expression immediately cooled.
After that, whenever I mentioned any discomfort, Simon would get impatient.
The more I asked him to come back, the less likely he was to do so.
I know this well.
Sure enough, he coldly said he'd wait until work was over and hung up.
It's not easy to make him love me; I've tried for twenty years without success.
But making him dislike me? I know exactly how to do that.
Perhaps when he hears of my death, he will grieve a little less.
If he grieves for me at all.
