A Call at 3 a.m.
It was 3:00 and somebody call to my house phone.
I pushed my pillow away, turned my night lamp on just to check I wouldn't step on anything hard, I gingerly stepped on the floor, I didn't wanted to step on any stupid pee of my dog again like last timem you know my room isn't the cleanest place on earth... Actually I think it's the most dirtyiest place, I have this weird slovenly manner of "cleaning" my room. --As you may all know, I am a pretty messy person,-- clad on my pijamas I walked all the way to my living room just to pick up the phone and find that Holden Caulfield was on the other side of the call, believe me, I wasn't avid to talk to him and less at 3 in the morning, what the hell was his problem? I had only talked to him twice, once when he accidently pushed me all the way down the stairs in Elkton Hills and twice when he asked for my number the last day he went to school... Damm, that boy did had some serious problems.
"Hey alexa? This is Holden, Holden Caulfield... Remember me? I hope you do because I've been thinking and you know maybe we could hang out and all. Have some coffe and maybe..."
I surmised he was drunk since I couldn't really understand one hell of a thing that he was saying.
"Yes. I remember you, what the hell is wrong? Are you in trouble? Have you noticed its around 4 in the morning?" I interrupted him.
"Well if it really bothers you, you shouldn't have answered the phone then!" He screamed.
That's when I remembered, Holden had this weird disposition, he was really spontaneous, one minute he was nice and the next one you just wanted to punch him in the face. I remember we were in English class with the old Spencer, oh god Holden may look nice, but boy he was irascible any little thing you said would bother him, old Spencer told that crazy Holden to give an example from the book but before he had to act a small piece out for us to find out what scene it was; but as always Holden had to throw this tirade into saying how old Spence was forcing him into doing stupid stuf... Oh boy, he was crazy.
"Don't shout, where are you anyways? Have you slept?"
"Look Alexa, I've been really despondent lately, you know? I mean people don't talk to me, no more and they are all gone and changed and I think your the only person I have left to talk to, don't you think the same? Like the world is falling apart and the only person missing into falling in the big hole is you? Tell me don't you feel the same?"
"Holden... I am not understanding, it's 4 in the morning, it's late. I think you need some sleep, we can talk tommorow, I feel profound sorry for what your feeling but you know life isn't easy... Now go to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow`"
This conversation felt interminable, better said it was interminable!
"You know... How would you like to go with me? You know like get away from all this places and find a special place for our own, what do you think? Would you leave with me? Would you?" Holden entreated for about 30 minutes.
I had no inkling that Holden was seriously going to ask me something like that, I mean first we were talking about how depressed he was and then he wants to escape with me? Do you understand me now? Holden is the only guy I know with the audacity to ask someone to escape with them by only talking for one minute or less with them, I made several conscentious effort to let him know nicely that I wasn't and didn't wanted to escaped with him, but as usual, he didn't seemed to get my point.
"Look Holden, honestly what your saying makes no sense... I haven't seen you for a couple of years, I just can't escape with you like that; you have to stop living a fantasy and live the real world Holden" I said the most prudent way I could say that kind of stuff.
My comment seemed to rankle Holden a lot, since he started yelling like crazy. I couldn't understand a word he was saying but I know he was saying a lot of bad stuff about me and to me, his rebuke didn't really bother me, it just bothered me that he woke me up at 3 am to end up being screamed at and extremly ofended. What a nice way of starting a day.
