she decided to call tony for the first time that night.

nothing was going wrong tonight. she was okay, nothing happened that made her emotional.

it just kind of happened.

she started to feel heavier and her chest began to gather pressure as if someone were sitting on it. her throat began to ache and she felt tears threaten to fall.

it was then she realized she was tired.
and not just the normal kind.

without thinking much of it, stella compulsively groupies her phone and hit the call button on tony's contact. while the phone rang, stella sat on her couch in the dark of the night, trying holding herself together.

you reached the voicemail of....

of course he wouldn't answer. it was late at night, no one would be up this late. nobody except for her. she settles with leaving the man a voice mail.

"hey tony, this is stella. obviously.
um...

she gulped and the pressure on her chest increased.

i don't know what's going on with me. i just kind of feel alone, you know? i've always been alone but it's just really getting to me tonight.

stella felt the tears start to fall and she did nothing to stop them. her voice shook with every word she spoke.

i don't know anymore tony. i'm just tired. i'm so tired. i'm tied of it all. i hate it so much i can't keep doing this anymore. i can't. i just want it to stop.

she swallows a sob.

it hurts to live everyday. i don't know how much longer i can do this.

i'm just so... tired."

she ended the call.
