Hours later, I'm sitting in my room listening to music and reading when my phone buzzes.
Hey babe. A text from Luke. A smile before responding.
Hey Lukey.
So, um, there's a party this weekend. Do you wanna go?
I start breathing quickly. I can't handle crowds. I never have been able to. And I don't like alcohol. It ruins everything.
No. I respond blankly.
Are you sure? It'll be fun?
I'm supposed to hang out with Megan this weekend though. Maybe some other time? I remember. Score!
Okay. I'll hold you to that! Anyway, what's up?
I'm reading. Being bored.
I'll entertain you!
And how do you plan on doing that?
I find myself smiling at my phone. Luke makes me happy. I don't have friends so maybe this is good for me.
Did you forget how hilarious I am?
Oh, I must have! Sorry Lukey!
I'm hurt Ashton. Really hurt!
Sorry boo. I gotta go shower though. See you tomorrow?
See you tomorrow babe. Have fun. Don't drown!
I smile at the last text before walking to the bathroom connected to my room. I climb in the shower and allow the hot water to relax my muscles and numb my skin.
I think back on the day and smile. It's not often I do that. And today, it's all thanks to Luke.
