Hallie's pov
I was exhausted when I finally got back to my apartment,all I wanted was to get a good nights rest.but then,my phone began to ring,making me jump and fall off my bed.I groaned,"it better not be Michael,I don't wanna be a therapist friend again."I thought as I picked up the phone."hello?"i answered,trying not to sound grumpy."hey,Hallie?"I widened my eyes and blushed when I heard Mark's voice,"Mark?how did you get my number?"I asked."I got it from a stalker."he joked,I couldn't help but to laugh when he said that."but anyways,did I wake you?I didn't mean to."he asked,I stood up and sat down on my bed."no!no!I was uh,awake the whole time!"I lied,he chuckled."you're not really a good liar."I blushed in embarrassment,"how bout this:why don't you and I hang around at the pier tomorrow?"he suggested.

I suddenly felt uncomfortable,"it's not a date...is it?"I asked nervously."no,no,just hanging out."he assured me,did he sound disappointed?I sighed,"there's so much I wanna say,but I don't wanna say it all at once."i said.I wanted to tell him about my past,tell him about my past relationship,but I just can't.only Michael knows,and he's my best friend.yeah,Mark's cute,but I don't think he's ready to date a girl who is struggling to keep it together."I'm here if you wanna talk Hallie.I know you're used to listening to other's problems,I can tell,but I won't be like that."he assured me,it honestly felt...touching.I hesitated for a moment,"thank you mark."i said honestly."so 2:00?"he asked,I smiled."sounds good."i said,"great,see you then."then he hung up.
