It has been three days since I last heard from him and I was concerned that Felix's sudden appearance had something to do with it. I got his message when I was just getting my old phone out of repair.
Saturday 7 pm
oh ur alive
u can have ur phone back btw
whats ur bf doing
Admittedly, I didn't ask just to provoke him and because I thought it was stupid that he had ghosted me for three days. I actually did care. I wasn't in a very good mood these days. There were only three days left before I had to go back to work. Tomorrow I would go to the doctor with Maddie. The day after tomorrow to him. The competition was in less than one week and I wasn't looking forward to it. I was afraid. There was literally nothing that I clarified. On Monday work would go on just as it did before.
His replacement phone vibrated on my way out of the little repair shop and I wanted to take a quick look. Well, it wasn't a quick look, because as soon as I saw his respond, I looked at it closer. Do I read this right?
What's your brother doing?
I stopped walking and starred at it.
what do you mean??
A sudden fear came over me. No, this can't be true, I thought. There has to be another reason.
I put away my phone but felt uneasy. I pushed the fear away. This could only be a misunderstanding. I drove home and couldn't stop thinking about it as I looked at my tidy apartment. There were only a few boxes left, neatly stacked on top of each other in the corner. The things that didn't have a place in my apartment. The things I didn't really need and I would have to get rid of. The kitchen was sparkling clean. There was no laundry to do. A reflex made me reach for his phone. I saved Felix's number on my own phone. Hesitated. Then just went for it without thinking.
hey
this is oscar
are u busy right now?
I put my phone away again and didn't even notice my foot tapping against the leg of the table nervously. I wanted him to answer right now. Was it all played? I thought. His smile... Shit. I'm so stupid.
My phone vibrated twice in a row and I looked at it immediately. Fuck, please, this can't be true.
Oscar!
hiiii
My fingers typed automatically. I didn't even think. The fear drove me crazy. He was typing. I was typing. And looking at his new message after I sent mine.
wanna talk? :))
did u tell ur bf something about me?
Two seconds nothing. Then he started typing again.
what exactly?
Blair and I talk about everything
was there anything I shouldn't tell him?
seriously?
I couldn't help it. The anger numbed all of my senses and my fingers were shaking as I typed. Fucking hell, I felt close to tears because I really thought he just played with me. I was just too emotional these days.
EVERYTHING abt me is none of his damn business
he and i literally made a rule for that
oh
sorry I didn't know
shit i thought thats obvious felix
not like were all gonna be bffs or smth
fuck im so angry
why did he even let u talk wtf
he seemed interested..
ofc he did
hes gonna use everything against me
God, that wasn't good. I should have really stopped texting. But my fingers moved by themselves without thinking. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down for a second.
what did u tell him about my brother
nothing
I don't know anything about him
then how does he know?
I only said I had to leave because you had to deal with your bro
what else
nothing really
great
was that the reason u came to me?
of course not!!
I wasn't in the mood for anything today anymore. But still, I went to training earlier and danced alone until the others came. It felt good to train when you're angry or sad.
We probably have never trained as long as that day. It was two in the morning when I got home and I was feeling much better.
It was the next day while I was sitting with Maddie in the doctor's waiting room when I re-read my messages and felt terrible. Felix happened to be online when I texted him.
hey
He didn't answer right away. Only a few minutes after.
hii
im sorry i didnt mean to freak out
its not ur fault
it's okay :)
I was just thinking about whether I should write something more and whether I have now ruined everything when I suddenly felt Maddie's hand in mine and looked over at her. I smiled at her and squeezed her hand gently.
„Will I have to take off my pants?"
„I don't know. Maybe." Maddie started scratching again on her hand and that's when I saw the rash. „Hey, show me your hands." I looked at them. There were a lot of small red spots, in some places the skin was peeling off, probably from severe scratching and in one place I could even see a small blister with a yellowish liquid. „How long has it been like that?"
Maddie shrugged. „A few weeks?"
I swore softly. Then my phone vibrated and my head was hoping it was him.
wanna come over today?
I already had read the message, but right in this moment we were called in and I stood up with Maddie.

Teen Fiction"God, you're adorable," he chuckled, stepping towards me. When I felt his warmth right in front of me, a soft moan escaped my lips. He was close enough for me to catch the musky scent of his cologne. "Do you want me that bad?" My breath hitched, and...
