The Write Thing

Chapter 16

After pressing on the bell a few times, the door finally opened. I was expecting he would be surprise to see me like he always does, but not this time. He looked like he haven't been sleeping since yesterday.

"Hi!" I wave my hands, and that's when his brow knitted.

"What are you doing here?" He asked. Almost a whisper.

"Have you forgot? You'll still help me with my writing, aren't you?" I smiled widely at him but that didn't work even a slightest bit as he just roll his eyes.

"I didn't agree on doing that."

"But I didn't say you can decline to that." I said, which made him look at me seriously.

I know what he's thinking right now. When I told him I want him to help me, I was serious. Not only that I know he could help me, but also because I believe there's much more I can learn from him aside from writing.

"Aren't my friends doing that for you now?"

"Yeah but that's a different thing. I asked you first. And they just insisted. That's a while different thing. I'd pretty much love to learn something from you. " I said as I pushed through the living room where I place on my stuff.

I can feel him watching me as I pull out my guitar and my notebook. By the time I looked to his way, he's now leaning against the wall without averting his gaze from me.

"Just how desperate you are?" His sudden question made me pause for a while.

"Very desperate." I confessed and he rolls his eyes. I thought it was just some random question but not until he pulls out his phone before he face it to me.

He was distance away from me. And at first I didn't pay attention to it as I thought it was maybe just something, but not until I heard the sound. It sounded really bad that it didn't  took me another time to realize it was my voice.

I hurried toward his way and instantly grab his phone from his hands. I knew my voice doesn't bothers me anymore but for a moment I just want the ground to swallow me whole. It was the video I took just earlier.

"How the hell did you get this?" I raise my glance and he's now biting his lips.

"Gray send it to me."

I raised my brow at him. "How did he—"

"He saw it from the website you post it." It felt like everything was on pause and before I even knew it, I started slapping my face in embarrassment.

I could hear Rafa's laughing as I took out my phone and starts scrolling on it but just to be reminded it isn't still working.

"A lot of people had seen your video so there's no point deleting it."

"I don't care. I need to delete this."

He scoofed. "Isn't that what you want? Maybe you could get some offers now that it's out." I sent a sharp look to his way. Sarcasm obvious from his tone.

I don't really care how many people have seen my video, I'm just not happy that I've chose the bad video.

I was trying to delete the video but my phone's not working and for a moment I thought defeated. It seems like there's no point deleting it anyways. It's out. There's nothing I can do about it. Maybe it's just a good thing that no one really knows me aside this guy infront me.

Suddenly, I was pulled out my thoughts when I notice Rafa who's been laughing at me the whole time. I sent him a deadly glare but that didn't made him pause a bit.
