Habits Of My Heart

CHAPTER 6

HERE TO NOTHING

When I didn't get a text after my shower I started to worry even though I'm sure I have nothing to worry about. So what. What if he just forgot and had other things to do, I tired so hard to just stop thinking about it while I waited for my hair to dry.

My mind kept going to the most horrible places.

What if his car—

What if he—

What if someone—

Shit Aubrey you need to chill I kept telling my self over and over again, not everyone is going to have a traumatic experience with a car like you. It's only been 20 minutes so maybe he just hasn't made it back to his place yet. Why was my anxiety going up to a thousand over someone I wasn't even aware existed a week ago.

As I'm making my way back to my room I check my phone once again, when I don't see a text I put my phone back down. I'll give him 10 more minutes if he doesn't text me that's he's home safe I'll text him. I know how dangerous the roads can be at night. So I had every reason to be worried but I also felt like maybe I'm just over exaggerating.

After the ten minutes pasted I was too inpatient and decided to text him first, there no way I'd be able to sleep without me knowing.

TEXT MESSAGE
AUBREY F. 🐝 - Hey its me Bee, We agreed on you texting me when you got home and you haven't should I be worried?

Now I was sitting on the edge of my bed waiting for a reply back from him. The message said delivered so he should have got the notification.

Ezra was probably annoyed with me, the fact that he had to drive me home even if he said it was okay I knew he really didn't want to. Now he's just probably wondering why won't this girl leave me the hell alone. Did I care what he thought? Yes but here I was sending another text.

TEXT MESSAGE
AUBREY F. 🐝 - is the silence a yes? If you don't respond I'll take it as a yes.

Delivered

Another few minutes went by everything in me was telling me to drop it and just go to bed. So why couldn't I just drop it and head to bed? Why was I so worried and concerned for this guy's safety? I walk around my room staring at the call button. I whisper to myself don't call , don't call , don't call

Stubborn me presses the button.

I keep pacing around my room as the call rings,
After the 3rd ring the call goes through.

"Hello" Ezra says on the other line.

"So your alive that's good, I was starting to get worried" I say sitting back on my bed relieved.

"This is Aubrey by the way" I add in.

"I know who it is" he says.
