ALLIE MOORE
—————
I lie awake on my bed, unable to sleep after today's events, and the thought of tomorrow's. My hair, which was straightened this morning, is now back to its natural waves, spread out on my pillow.
My clothes are drying on the heater because when I walked in the door, it looked like I had been dipped in the ocean, then pulled out. When I say I love the rain I mean I love being inside when it's raining. Otherwise it's just irritating.
My thoughts are disturbed by the sound of my phone ringing. I lean over and check my watch to see it's 11pm, "who's calling me?" I groan as I reach for my phone. The display name says 'Ethan (do not answer!!)'
Oh yeah, forgot about that.
Note to self; fix that later.
I reluctantly pick up my phone and slide to answer.
"Hello?"
"Allie, hey" Ethan's voice fills my phone. "I just wanted to check on you, today was.."
"a nightmare?" I finish for him
"Yeah" he chuckles, "a nightmare".
"why are u calling me so late, Ethan? I know you have insomnia but this is a bit much" I joke
"no it's just-" he pauses before continuing "I know when your thinking too much about things you can't sleep, so I figured after today you're probably overthinking too much, and are still awake."
Universe, you're making it extremely difficult
"Oh," he thinks about me? "Uhm, thanks!"
uhm thanks? Are you kidding me?
His laugh fills the phone once more, "no problem".
"Are you listening to 'Late Night Talking'?" I ask
"yeah? How can you even hear that I have the volume on 3"
"power of Harry Styles, I guess"
"Yeah"
can't get you off my mind
all this late night talking
The song reaches its end but soon enough another song starts.
"now, what song is playing?" Ethan asks, and I can hear the grin in his voice.
"Uhm.." I listen closely to the quiet music in the back.
"Is that Fix You?"
when you get what you want but not what you need
"Wow, you're a musical genius Miss Moore."
"What can I say, I love my music" I laugh. "It's one of my favourites"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
There's a moment of silence when neither of us talk, but it's not an awkward silence as usual, it's a comforting one.
oh shit. No no!
"Uhm- I should probably get some sleep," I blurt out.
