Secret Charm

Words for a friend; From a friend (Ch.5)

HEY GUYS! JUST A RECAP:MAGGIE MOVED RIGHT AFTER HER AND HARMONY FOUND THE MAGICAL SUBSTANCE IN THE FOREST. NOW THEY ARE GROWN UP (18 YEARS OLD)AND LIVING THEIR LIVES IN DIFFERENT WAYS. ENJOY!!
-Both the girls live on their own . Mags lives in Seattle in her own apartment while Harmony is still back in New York now living in her own condo.

*5 years later*

I remember you,
Just calm but blue
Wishing you could hear and see
All things you never knew
I miss you
Hoping to see you soon

-Poems. One of my hobbies. I could write them all day long. I dedicated this one to Mags. I sent it to her through email. Surprisingly, she got it early right after the day I sent it. Usually it would take about 2 weeks. Even a month. I have not stopped thinking about her since the day she left. I know she has not stopped as well because I have been getting 5 emails each day non stop. Like whoa!! But I ,of course, return the favor. I flood her . Duhhh! I still remember the magical stuff we found in the forest. I left the pouch inside a box just in case it did not fall out. I am always cautious about my items. Especially cool ones.

-*Beep*Beep* I feel the vibrating of my phone in my pocket. I take it out. I turn it on and on the screen it says I have one missed call. I must have turned off my ringer. I go to that missed call and see it was an unknown number. Hmm? Probably Mags. Sometimes she uses her cousin's phone. I decide to call the number.

*Dial Tone* - The phone is finally answered after 4 rings.

Unknown: Hello?
-Apparently it wasn't Mags. It was a he. His voice was so husky yet calm. It seemed I recognized this voice with just one word.

Me: Hi. You called?

Unknown: Uhm . Yes it seems I did sorry. I must have dialed the wrong number if this is not Maggie Hart.

Me: 'fraid so. But I know her. She is my best friend.

-There was a slight pause in his voice.

Unknown: Harmony? ..

-I paused. He was so familiar.

Unknown: It's me ... Leo.

I remember you. We were just so frail and innocent on that day; February 5. We are at the playground. I am on the swing, you and Mags are playing on the seesaw. You have always had a crush on her. Maybe you still do. We always played together and had great times when we were young. What happened? Oh yea.. You moved.. Just like Mags.. Leaving me alone..

I got myself back to reality, and ended the call.

I could not believe it was Leo.. Our best friend back in elementary.
I decide to call the number back. He did not answer so I felt bad for hanging up. I sent him a text message:

"Leo, hey I am so sorry I hung up on you. I just have a lot on my mind. I miss you. How did you get this number anyways? ;D. Kinda Creepy. But I am glad you called because I really miss you. Looking for Mags huh? ;) Hopefully we can meet up sometime soon. I am really glad to hear from you. Please text me or call me back ASAP. We need to talk. :)"
-Money; remember this?

- Money is what he used to call back when we were kids. I did not get offended because it was funny. I really miss Leo. I hope he calls back.

*3 hours later*

I flutter my eyes open as I get up from my bed. I look at the time and it is only 7pm. I feel like I am forgetting something. It is in my mind. But I just can't really remember clearly. After about 2 minutes lights suddenly flash in my head. Got it! I get my phone and unlock it hoping Leo replied back.

Apparently, he didn't. I roll my eyes and frown in despair putting my phone in my pocket.

Words then come out from my mouth.

"Forget it.. It is usele--," I was cut off by the vibrating of my phone.
I jumped as I felt surprised.
I quickly unlock my phone and see that I got a text from Leo.

"Hey Money' ( of course I remember) sorry I could not reply sooner. My phone ran out of battery so I had to charge it. I only saw the message now. I am sorry if I feel like a stalker to you, I got your number from Mags. Yes you are probably wondering how? It is only because I did not know she was moving and we suddenly met in the airport as I was dropping my sister off. Turns out they had the same flight. So Mags had some company. I miss you too. And of course I agree, we should meet up sometime. That is, if you are free? Just let me know. Hopefully sooner.
-Leo. :)

I smile as I read the text. I reply and ask him if he was free tomorrow afternoon. Thankfully, he was. We decide to catch up by texting for a while then after half an hour, I decide to say goodnight leaving my address to my house.

He was the last to text with:
"Goodnight Money' See you tomorrow." - Leo

& one from my homey:
"'Night Har, Love and miss yaa.-MaggyWaggy

I smile from the two best texts I could have ever received in the whole world. From the two most amazing best friends ever. My eyes then close slowly and I drift away in peace..
