I heard my phone buzz on my nightstand. I was mindlessly writing down some lyrics because I couldn't sleep, nothing out of the norm. I reached over and grabbed my phone, I looked at the name on the top of the screen. 'JoJo' I smiled and quickly tapped the answer button. "Heyyy, what's up." I said into the phone, Joey laughed on the other end. His voice sounded rough like he had just woke up, "You had another nightmare didn't you." I said as my smile dropped into a frown, I hated seeing him like this.
Well even though I wasn't actually seeing him it still hurt me to know what Joey was going through. Joey was quite for a bit, "No." He said flatly. "Don't lie to me Joey." I warned him and I could hear him shuffling on the other end. "What was it about?" I asked. "My dad." Joey answered after a bit. I went silent for a bit listening to Joeys breaths. "I'm sorry. I wish I could be there with you." I really did, I missed Joey a fuck ton. The guys were constantly bothering about it and I couldn't blame them. I had been bitching about him being gone for the whole 4 months.
    I knew I couldn't ignore the fact that I had feelings for him forever but I was gonna do it as long as I could. It started as a stupid little boy crush when we were teens but its developed into full blown I-can't-get-him-out-of-my-head type of bullshit. I had feelings for one of my best friends, my bandmate and the feeling was most likely not mutual. Who in there right mind would have feelings for me. I'm cold and selfish and fucked up, I wouldn't deserve someone like Joey. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Joeys voice. "Cor, you still there?" He asked quietly, his voice made my heart melt. "Wha- y- yeah I'm here."
    Joey giggled, that noise was the sweetest sound ever. "Whatcha thinkin bout thats got ya all distracted?" Joey asked. You. "Oh nothing." I lied and Joey hummed in response. "Thanks for the letter, it was really nice." I said smiling into the phone. "No problem. I'm glad you liked it." Joey responded. God how much I wanted to climb through the phone and be with him. See him, feel him, smell him, taste him. The thought of my lips pressed against Joeys sent shivers down my spine. I wanted him so bad. Jesus fucking Christ Corey shut the fuck up. I tried to push those thoughts to the back of my head as always but recently it got a lot more difficult to do.
"What's this surprise you've been talking up?"Joey said changing the subject. "I can't tell you, otherwise it wouldn't be a surprise." I fake scolded the guy on the other end of the phone. Joey let out an exaggerated sigh. "But I wanna knowwww." He said whined. "No way." I said simply and Joey sighed again. "I'm frowning, my frown is so big right now. I am so sad. You're gonna make me cry." Joey said in a faked sob. "Oh shut it your fine. Just get your ass back here and then I can give it to you." I said chucking, when I was talking with Joey I could never stop smiling. Even just being around him made butterflies swarm in my stomach so much I thought it would make me sick.
"Hey Cor?" Joeys voice was a bit hushed now and more serious. "Yeah?" I responded quickly matching his tone. "Will you stay on the phone with me till I fall asleep?" He said sweetly. I nodded even though he couldn't here me and agreed immediately. 'Maybe I can finally get some sleep tonight' I thought as I laid the phone down beside me and rested my head on the pillow. We muttered some "Goodnights" and for the first time in days I closed my eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.
