The Taxi (G) Unfinished Business Chal. #149

I think Beth leaving Mick on the curb in NYC qualifies as unfinished business. I know this is long for text messaging; but I had to get it up to 100 words for a drabble.

The Taxi

Hey, Mick. Where are you?

Still walking. Just a few blocks from the Village Vanguard. Where are you?

Still in the taxi.

What’s up?

I wanted to say I’m sorry. I should have stayed. I should have taken you up on your offer. But I was scared.

I wish you had stayed, believe me. But I understand.

I’m not sure you do. I’m not even sure I do.

What do you mean? What are you saying?

We need to talk. And not by text. In person.

But you’re on your way to the airport. You’re leaving New York.

Turn around.

Awww....

That's what should have happened.

I really love this. And good for Mick, finally getting into the 21st century with the texting!

Oh my. I love this. I actually got chills when I read "turn around."
This is what should've happened.

I really like this and like everyone has said. It's what should have happened.

Thank you everyone! I'm glad you like it. I don't think I've ever had to ADD words to a drabble to make 100!

I remember watching the episode that I kept thinking that the cab would stop and Beth would come running back to Mick. I was so disappointed when it didn't happen.

Thanks again for the lovely comments!

This is what should have happened.

Mick is so old School, he doesn't even use any abbrevations.

But he caught up on new Technology fast, he had an iphone before I even knew what that was.

I really wish this had happened, MLC

Thank you for giving us an ending that might have led to a wonderful beginning.

Thanks for the reread, Carol! If only it had happened like this, eh?
