The Bolter | Walker Scobell

Chapter 40

June 26th 2024

I hadn't talked to Walker since the call at the hospital yesterday, it had been over 24 hours since then and I didn't even get a message today

My messages didn't even get delivered and I get that he is busy but was I that wrong for hoping to get a happy 1 month text from him ?

Was that stupid ? 1 month is like.... Nothing after all

I stared at the messages I sent in the morning, they got delivered. No answer though, I sighed putting my phone face down on my bed and grabbing my homework again

I wrote an entire page before I got a message, putting my pen down immediately and reaching for my phone, a smile appearing on my face when I saw it was Walker

Can I call you ?

I typed a quick answer and not even two seconds after I hit send his face popped up on my screen

"Hey, I'm sorry I didn't text sooner I was really busy"

"It's okay, where are you right now ?"

"Just walking around, got a little free time now"

"That's cool"

"Happy 1 month Mel, I can't believe it's been an entire month already"

"Happy 1 month Walk, and i know right time just flies by" he smiled at me, I analysed his screen a little because for walking around in New York his surroundings sure were really quiet and not crowded "I wish you could be here"

"Yeah, I'll be back soon though"

"How soon ?"

"Sooner than you might think" I frowned a little

"You got a date set ?"

"Yeah, something like that" I got even more confused at his words when my eye caught something on his screen, my eyebrows flew up and I got up from my chair rushing downstairs

This couldn't be possible, there was actually no freaking way he had pulled this off

I opened the front door and there he actually was, standing a few feet away from me with a huge grin on his face and a bouquet of flowers in his hand

I rushed out to hug him immediately, wrapping my arms around his neck and feeling his around my waist

"You've got to stop doing this"

"But you look so cute when you're surprised"

"You're an idiot I thought you weren't coming" I closed my eyes taking in the feeling of his arms wrapped around me and his curls slightly tickling me and his smell invading me

"I know this is important to you Mel, I wouldn't miss it" we pulled away from the hug and just looked at each other for a second, our faces inches apart. He leaned his face closer to mine going for a kiss but I backed up slightly grinning at his confusion

"You're an idiot"

"Yeah but will you shut up and kiss me already" I smiled closing the distance between us and connecting our lips

"Are these for me ?" I asked when we eventually separated looking down at the flowers in his arms

"These ? Oh no they're for my other girlfriend"

"Oh your other girlfriend ?" I laughed making him laugh too before I kissed him again " I really like them" I grinned taking the flowers out of his hands

"I'm glad, my other girlfriend didn't like them a lot" I hit his arm watching him laugh "I'm joking, they're all of you" he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we went inside sitting down on the couch in the living room "you actually believed I wouldn't be here ?"

"You're busy, you got a career and all that it would've been fine" walker kissed my cheek

"My thoughtful girlfriend"

"Mel I'm actually starting to get worried this getting out of ha-" Cassie stopped at the doorway looking at Walker and then at me, I took a deep breath closing my eyes feeling Walker shift beside me "Walker, uh hey... didn't expect you to be here"'

"What are those ?" I opened my eyes and looked at my sister trying to think quickly and come up with a lie

"Uh, flowers"

"Yeah I see that, but why are they here"

"Oh they are just, uhm from.. my.. boyfriend"

"Your boyfriend ?"

"...yeah ?" Walker moved to face me all that smiley happiness gone and just a serious and confused expression left

"Mel" I avoided his gaze for a second but the second I locked eyes with him I couldn't look away anymore

"I'm so sorry Mel"

"It's okay, can you give them to me ?" My sister walked over to me and handed me the flowers before leaving the two of us alone again

"Mel" I looked back at Walker and sighed knowing that there was no way I could lie him in the face

"Remember that one day I got flowers and and you were confused because they weren't from you ?"

"Yeah"

"They didn't stop that they, I've gotten them every single day since then" now it was just blank worry in his face

"What"

"I don't know who they're from but they keep coming every single day" I left out the person I thought could potentially be the sender because that was still impossible "but let's not talk about that today, I don't know more and I don't want things to be weird between us now"

"Yeah" he placed his forehead on my shoulder "as long as you're okay"

"I'm good" I smiled lifting my right hand to play with his hair "have I ever told you how much I love your curls"

"You might've mentioned it" he lifted his head after a moment longer and looked at me "soo you mentioned cookies yesterday"

"Oh of course you only came here because of the cookies right ?"

"Yeah what else would I come for ?" I rolled my eyes standing up and going to the kitchen with him following behind me

I placed the plate in front of him and took the seat beside him crossing my arms on the table and laying my head on top of it to watch him

"Mh they're really good" I have a smile in return "are you alright ?"

"Mhm, tired"

"Oh, we'll just stay in then"

"No, if you had something planned we can do that"

"It's fine, we'll do it tomorrow" he brushed a hair from my face to the side "let's just watch a movie tonight
