Phone drama
My ex was prone to mild panic attacks, as I soon found out after getting loads of worried texts while driving or asleep. I got into a habit of texting to say I was driving or going to sleep, then a got there safe or good morning text, which was annoying but no major hardship.

One night we'd been on the phone, she was sleepy so we hung up and she went on msn to me while she listened to music. All was well until she said she could hear some one in the house. A fairly regular annoyance (her hearing people, not them actualy being there) I reassured her there was no one there. No reply. I waited a few mins, still no reply. I decided to text. Still no reply.

I was getting worried, what if she was in trouble. I phoned her mobile. Nothing. The house phone. Nothing. It had been quarter of an hour and she wasn't responding. I was getting worried, images of her being threatened or worse flooded my imagination. I picked up the phone, went to dial 999 when a reply popped on my computer.

"sorry, I fell asleep."

I coulden't believe it. I'd been terrified. "you don't normally worry" she said.
"Well you don't normally say some one is in the house! How did you fall asleep when you were so scared?!" I asked.
"I dunno, I was sleepy."

Fucking hell she was hard work.
