a/n: lowercase is intended (for the whole story now) sorry if you don't like using all lowercase. also, new story is out now! it's not finished yet but it's a karl fic and if u somewhat like toxic love or enemies to lovers type of fics, i think you'll like that. the fic name is "i hate hate" and some part of the plot is inspired by "oops...! i did it again" by britney spears:)

Valorie's pov.

time skip: 3 months (alex's birthday was already celebrated, it's now february)

Alex was not giving up. we were hanging out almost every day, if not, every other day. there wasn't a week where we don't hang out. don't get me wrong, i love spending time with him, but am i that worth it?

i mean, i feel like he's canceled plans because of me. yeah, he chose to cancel them but just because of me?

is this really how he gains my trust? yes, yes it is. i've had lots of fun talking to him and just being in his presence. i guess my feelings are coming back?

it's not like they left.

uh do i tell him? i won't make a big deal of it. just tell him casually, ok?

i look at my phone and realize i zoned out for almost 30 minutes.

fuuuuuuuccckkkkiiiinnnnnngggg hheeeellllllllllllll.

i had a loh today (love or host). to be specific, in 20 minutes.

i get out of bed, where i just woke up on and zoned out on for 30 minutes.

i change my clothes into anything that wasn't a pair of pj's. finally i decided on a sweater and jeans.

karl jacobs style huh?

i brush my hair and 'washed' my face in water. emphasis on the word 'washed'.

i sat on my chair and turned on my pc. i opened my twitter, twitch, zoom, discord, and another twitter tab to message austin.

i had 10 minutes so i decided to message austin.

@Austin
