the distance between us

Chapter 2

~Alex's POV~

As I had been talking to my closer friend Scott about the pretty boy I had seen so much, I had been smiling at the fact that I would be able to talk to him soon.
"Scott says that he's lonely... hm."
I had thought to myself in curiosity.
I sent this cute boy a text message, in hopes that he would reply. I waited, and waited, and waited.
The waiting seemed like it lasted forever, but then, he finally replied.
The text had read; "Hiiii :) I'm Theo, if you didn't know, you must be Alex? Scott has told me so much about you!"
I was happy when I had read it, but my anxiety rose. What if Scott had said bad things about me? What if he told Theo any of my secrets? Oh god-
I took a deep breath to try and calm myself down before I could reply.
"Awh that's nice :) I'm glad I can finally talk to you. You seem really cute yknow"

I smiled to myself as I thought about Theos perfect little smile in my head, and I felt butterflies form in my stomach. I had really taken a liking to this boy, just by hearing small little details about him from Scott. He seemed so flawless, perfect even.
I noticed that he had replied to me.

"AH- THANK YOU SJSJJSJS"

I laughed a little, imagining how he may be flustered reading that. I found it cute. Absolutely adorable. My heart fluttered as I thought of his smile once more.

"You okay there?"

I sent as a reply, and then I went back to texting Scott about this perfect boy.
We had been discussing things for a while, and Scott told me more and more about him. Not too much, though. I wanted to get more details from Theo, I wanted to really hear things about him, coming from him. I wanted to figure out every little detail about him, even if it wasn't necessary, I just wanted to have the knowledge to myself.

I had been texting Theo for a while now, and my stomach felt like it was doing flips inside of me, I felt like my whole world had just lit up by talking to this amazing boy. I had just started talking to him, and already he has made me feel so very happy. He had gone live again, and I joined like I normally would. His room was a bit darker than it normally was, only lighten up by the red, Christmas lights strung up near the ceiling.
There were about 4 or 5 viewers, and I could hear faint music playing from his speaker in the background, along with little... happy noises. It took me a second to process what they were, it turns out the I had made Theo so happy, that he was in the corner of his room, freaking out. Not in a bad way, but a good way. He was just that happy. I smiled, as I thought that I was the one to make him feel this way.

"I'm gonna ask him if he wants to call..."
