The phone call

Mom hadn't even stopped talking and Bella was already hyped up going crazy.
" We're going to Hawaiiii "
she screamed very loudly that I thought it would wake our neighbors.

Mom seemed pleased with the way em was jumping around, on a normal day she'd be pretty ticked off about it but not today.
then she looked at me to see how I'd react.
I tried my best to look surprised, I had already found the tickets on the table.
But I was pretty excited to be completely honest.
" I think it's an awesome idea mum, we really do need this "
She frowned a little
" I thought you'd be a little more excited " she said " you weren't looking forward to working at the grill this summer were you? " she asked looking quite puzzled.
And then I told her all about how I had already found them on the table.
We all had a good laugh. It was getting late and I started to feel drowsy, I think mum noticed since moment later she rushed us to bed.
" we leave the day after tomorrow, start packing girls. "
She whispered as she left to the living room.
My room was in the far right side of the first floor and Bella's was the one opposite to mine.
Mum usually slept on the couch in the living room. I've tried many time to get her to sleep somewhere else but she's being very firm.
" I like it here Gigi " she said once, but I think theirs another reason.
It was no surprise that she missed dad and sleeping in their room only reminded her of him.

It was half past twelve. I stared at the roof, it was filled with tiny star stickers.
My dad helped me put them up. *sigh*

I usually fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow but for some reason I couldn't today. I tried counting sheep, but that didn't work. I was thinking of some other way I could put myself to sleep when I heard my phone vibrate.

*Buzz buzz*

I pick it up to find a missed call from an unknown number
" who could that be ? " I wondered to myself.
Although I wouldn't normally call back, I did. Well guess Today is filled with surprises
The phone rung for a couple of seconds and then someone picked up.

" Hello ? Who is this " I asked in a low calm voice. Expecting to hear someone say something like " it's me the boogie man! " I'm so dumb. Then again who knows.

I didn't get an answer. Why do I put myself in these kind of situations, for all I know it could've been a serial killer. Good job Gigi, I thought to myself. Way to go.

As I was about to hang up, I thought I heard a very familiar voice.

" Gigi ? " answered the stranger, although it was hard to make out what I was hearing.

Okay now I was freaking out. I hung up quickly and hid under my pillow.
Was I finally going crazy ?
Well that wouldn't be a surprise.
I'm pretty sure you've already figured out who I thought it sounded like.
I think I've been watching too many Netflix movies, my mind is imagining crazy shit.

The wind was blowing quite loudly I could hear it even though my windows were shut.
That's when I heard a knock on my door that made me jump.
" Zayn " my mind wondered immediately lighting up. Yup, I've gone completely bonkers. Might as well go have tea with the mad hatter. It's not like I have anything better to do. I must still be in denial, still expecting to see him someday.

But it was just my imagination playing tricks on me.
I  fell fast asleep.

And if it wasn't for our cat slushy who tickled my nose I wouldn't have woke up to notice my cellphone ringing again.

I slowly picked it up, rubbing my eyes.

The same number.

I let it ring. And watched as it rung again.
I was about to pick up when it stopped ringing the second time.
This was getting a bit weird. I decided to track the number tomorrow and try to figure out who it was, Jordan can help me with that... he's pretty good at this kinda stuff.

It was hard to fall asleep. Slushy was curled up near my feet.
I looked at the clock and it was 2:30 AM. Way past my usual bedtime.
Tomorrow was the last day of freshman year and our summer vacation was about to begin.

Earlier Stassie and I had planned to work at the grill down by the boardwalk near the beach. We wouldn't have got payed much but it would've been fun, and she insisted that it was worth it since we'd get free caramel lattes every Wednesday. Although I would've preferred working at the holiday club as a babysitter.
Kendall and Jordan were planning on renting a beach house and wanted to spend as much time as they could together, since Jordan was leaving college next year.
Well I did have things figured out but Looks like I'll be spreading my summer shredding the waves surfing in Hawaii instead.
Oh, I don't know how to surf though. Well there's always a first time for everything :)
This summer is off to a pretty strange start. But I'm pretty excited.
It's time for a change.

I glanced at my phone before I drifted back to sleep confused.

Thanks for reading!
