Hey I know we haven't talked in a while, but I've been thinking about you a lot lately...I hope you are doing okay.

I sat re-reading the text I just received. I was confused. I was shocked. I was...I don't know. Yet in some way I felt special for some reason. I changed my number after Aron and I's "break" and decided on not telling anybody about my new number besides those who were close to me. I needed a new chapter.
Yet some way, somehow, he still managed to reach out to me.
Zae
I didn't even know whether I should reply or not. My life was all over the place. I was currently working two jobs, life at home sucked thanks to my toxic parents, and then there was Aron.
After leaving out his apartment in tears that day he was working hard to get me back. Always calling, texting, the man even pulled up to my job bringing me lunch for a few days straight. All the gestures were nice but I was still hurt. So I was distant...
He pulled up on me one day and said that he wasn't going to keep kissing my ass and that I needed to get over myself because there are plenty of other females that could have him. This led to us getting into another big fight and at the end he called me a selfish bitch.
That was 4 months ago.
I haven't seen him in person but we've talked once since. Well not really talked. He texted me the word "Always" at 2:00 AM two months ago. It was something he used to text me all the time when we were together. He would text Always and I would text back Forever. Yet, I only ended up staring at the text forever before breaking down and crying. How could something so amazing go downhill so quickly?
That's when I changed my number and got a new phone as my old phone held too many memories. It was the start of me hitting the restart button on my life. To distract myself from my emotions I got another job and got into the gym all while juggling my classes for my junior year of college.
It sounds like a lot but I'd rather be busy then sitting in my room all in my feelings. Yet I couldn't escape that at night. I had to sleep and in order to sleep I needed my mind to be at peace, but my thoughts were all over the place.
So I here I am...
Sitting on the edge of my bed staring at the text that Zae sent me. It's been awhile since somebody just checked on me randomly just cause. I decide to text him back.
Hey...I'm doing okay. How are you?
I'm good! Even better now that you responded. I didn't think you would...
How did you get my number by the way?
Well I as I said I've been thinking about you a lot so I hit your cousin up to see if your number was still the same
Oh okay.
You sure you're alright. Something just seems off, I don't know...
After years of not talking, you still think you know me huh?
Am I wrong?

I stared at the text for a minute then locked my phone. What did I look like opening up to him when I dread opening up to myself. I plugged my phone into the charger and then turned over laying on my side sighing. I had to be at work by 6AM and here I am restless. Hearing my phone go off again I flip it over to see it was another text from him.
Don't make me come to that window!

I laugh a little at his response. I can't believe he even remembers that.
That won't be necessary lol. I'm fine.
Can I call you?

Awe. No you can't. I didn't exactly feel like going down memory lane with Zae. With his joke about the window, I know that's exactly what our phone conversation would pertain. I put my phone on Do Not Disturb and set my 5:00 A.M alarm for work. Laying now on my back I stare up at the ceiling.
