"You should text him," said Lilith as she pulled into her driveway.

"I don't know, he doesn't even know who I am," I explained to her

It had been a week since I saw pretzel guy, or Nathan. Lilith has not so subtly hinting at me texting him or going to get more pretzels. We have gotten to know Bliss a little bit more, Her and Bliss's Girlfriend Melody.

"Let's go get a pretzel to see if he remembers you," Lilith suggested.

"Whatever, sure," I replied.

When we arrived at the pretzel shop, I saw Nathan. I saw his bright blue eyes and his flowy light brown hair. I waited in the long line, part of me was nervous. Lilith went to sit on the bench by the fountain.

"Destiny?" Nathan asked.

I looked up, and saw him smiling much brighter than before.

"Hey,"

"2 pretzels-" Ibegan

"And 2 Lemonades," he finished for me.

I smiled and blushed a little. I began walking over and saw Lilith smiling.

"What happened," she asked.

"He remembered me, isn't that kind of weird though?"

"No, that means he actually cares," she replied.

I ignored her.

I live with my dad, and my brother Anthony. My parents got divorced when I was 12, my mom moved out and my dad has full custody. My brother is 14, and I am 17, we are pretty close.

"Hey," I heard Anthony say as I entered the front door.

"Hi," I replied as I put my backpack down on the coffee table.

"Can you drive me over to Carl's?" He asked

"What? When?"

"At 8"

"Ask dad," I replied.

I walked into my room and sat down at my desk, I wanted to start my homework but something was bothering me.

I took out Nathan's Numbers from my wallet and dialed in my phone but I didn't send anything.

**

When I finally went to bed, I sat and stared at my phone in the darkness. I scrolled through Tik Tok when eventually I got bored. I opened the messages and typed,

'Hi, It's Destiny'

I sent the message to Nathan without any thought, immediately shutting off my phone and I went to bed.

I woke up when I heard the doorbell ring. It was 3 am.

I was tempted to ignore it until they kept ringing again and again, so I went down and opened the blinds a tiny bit.

There I saw Jeremy, obviously drunk. I didn't open the door and told him to go away.

"No baby," He said

I rolled my eyes and went to see if my dad was awake, maybe he would know what to do.

Of course he wasn't.
