The Bolter | Walker Scobell

Chapter 14

"I punched him"

"Walker"

"What ? I couldn't help it" I laughed sitting down on my bed and looking around my room

"You couldn't help it ?"

"Yeah. They've been dating for... what did she say ? A month ? Like almost a month. They started dating on the literal day we made the bet"

"That's like actually insane, that was the first time we ever talked on the phone" I remembered that day so clearly, it was the day after mom had gone full crazy again

I looked at my palm seeing the scar the broken glass had left on there, it wasn't super clear, I would assume that if you didn't know it was there you proabably wouldn't even notice unless you're actually paying a lot of attention to it

"It feels longer, I feel like I've known you for years"

"I'm honestly kind of surprised you're actually still talking to me"

"What do you mean ?"

"You have like all these really cool famous friends and you're still like talking to me ? That's kinda absurd" I leaned back to lay down on the bed looking at my ceiling

"I really like talking to you Mel" I smiled feeling my heart warm up a little "sooo in order for you to get that necklace we'll have to like meet up one day"

"I don't actually need the necklace Walker" I laughed slightly "I'll enjoy my bragging rights enough"

"Wow, when I make bets with Leena she wants double of what we agreed on"

"Ah yeah, sisters"

"Melll" I turned my head sighing at my sisters voice

"Speaking of the devil"

"I'm going over to Cole's, Blake wanted to show me something"

"Okayy" I heard her leave and close the door behind herself before turning back to my phone "so"

"So..." I started randomly looking through my phone while I was still on the phone talking to Walker when I came upon some pictures of the very carpet Walker had been to, I looked through them to see if there were any pictures of Walker and was very successful

I stopped listening to him talking for a second just staring at the picture, it was a picture of him with Logan Lerman which he might've mentioned when we talked the other day but he didn't tell me how good he looked in that suit

I looked through as many pictures as I could find of him and was just left in awe "you like him" I heard Destinys voice in my head again after pulling myself together even just the tiniest bit

Those three words had been haunting me since the moment she had said them over and over again

Even if I did like him (which I don't) there's no way he would like me, he was freaking Walker Scobell and I was just me, he went to events like that looking like that and I.... was just me

"Mel are you listening ?"

"What ? Sorry the uh- the connection is kinda bad right now I'll have to check what that is" I lied trying to focus on our conversation again "What did you say ?"

„I was saying that we should meet some day, like not just when you're working but just hang out, you know ?" I was quiet for a second wondering if I might've misheard him

"Oh" I didn't know what exactly to say, I mean don't get me wrong I would absolutely love to hang out with him in person and all that but that would mean getting a step closer, over the phone I could choose to show him what I wanted him to see and while I'm working I was in full work clothes and constantly busy anyways so I couldn't interact with him a lot

"Okay that did not sound great, it was just a suggestion if you don't want to it's fine, talking on the phone is also good"

"Nono, I'm sorry that sounded wrong uh, we definitely should do that" what's the worst that could happen ? Maybe when we met in actual person he wouldn't find me as fun to talk with, maybe he wouldn't like me when we hung out

I pushed the thought down forcefully and turned my attention back to talking with Walker, I could worry about what was gonna happen then when it was actually happening and not far before that
