Too Personal

Part 7~

Her pov*

I woke up suddenly and sat up with my heart pounding. I was trying to grip reality, who I was and where I was. I wasn't quite sure why I woke up so suddenly, the dream wasn't all that bad. But it was so real, and I was confused because nothing seemed to be clear.

I rubbed my eyes and tried to focus on my room. I checked the time on my phone and it was 3:21am. I was still trying to remember whatever I was dreaming. I remember feeling embarrassed, and I remember running late for something. I remember feeling angry and I remember my mom yelling. But they were all things that I can recall happening, not made up stuff. Then after all of that, Matt kissing me happened all over again. And it was real, in my dream I felt like it was happening again and when I woke up out of it it felt bizarre.

I fell back on the bed. I wasn't tired anymore.

What does this mean? What did Matt mean when he kissed me? I'm not used to this sort of thing happening, I haven't let myself get close to anyone like this. Sure, he probably kissed me to get my friends to shut up, that's probably it. Right?

His pov*

"One more round!" Tyler begged and tossed the remote over to me and I handed it to Jacob.

"I'm too tired. you two go ahead." I groan and rest my head in my arms. We were up playing Xbox.

-

"Bro, wake up, your phones ringing." Jacob said and nudged me. It felt like he was yelling because I was halfway asleep. I sat up and looked over at him and Tyler still had their eyes glued on the screen.

I grabbed my phone and read the time before the caller. 4am How were they still playing? I didn't have a clue.

My phone read: Sage Waters

I forgot I changed her name in my phone. I was thinking too slowly and it stopped ringing.

"Shit" I whispered.

"Ayeee Sage Waters with a heart emoji." Tyler teased.

"Shut up" I mumbled. I rubbed my eyes and went to call her back.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked

"did I wake up up? I'm sorry.. It's just I was kinda hoping you were awake because-"

I cut her off, "Yeah, but it's okay." I answered. The guys were obviously listening and I was thinking where I should go to talk. Well, somewhere my parents wouldn't hear and wake up.

I heard her sigh before saying, "I just.. I can't sleep right now."

"and why is that?" I ask.

"Because of you." she answered and my heart started beating fast. Did I do something wrong? What does she mean?

I stood up and walked out of my room and started down the hall and to the Livingroom.

"Because of me?" I repeated back to her.

"Yes." she answered.

"Because of you I'm laying here awake wondering what the hell is going on. Because of you whenever I see your jersey number my heart beats extra fast. Because of you I crave late night milkshakes and fries. I crave deep conversation. Because of you I feel like I trust you and I don't know how to feel about it. Matthew, I don't know how to feel about it."

"What does this mean..?" I ask her.

"I don't know! You tell me!" she said with a touch of annoyance in her voice.
