It only took Dylan 30 minutes to be in deep sleep.

I decided to text Sarah.

<Me: Dude.. Are you still awake?>

<Sarah: Yeah. Why?>

I called her instead.

I couldn't hold back feels for much longer.

"Hey, what's up?"

She seemed a bit worried about me.

*Sarah's POV*

I was confused. I don't know what was going on with Earan.

"Dude... I think I'm crushing."

"Earan, that's too obvious!

It's okay! Besides, William is cute!

He seems like a really good guy."

"Ugh. I'm afraid to be in love again...

After stuff with Zach.. Just.. I don't know.

It's hard to trust and love and.. I don't know."

"Just forget him!" I yelled.

I was angry that he had hurt her so badly, almost ruining her whole life.

Earan started to cry.

"I'm sorry.

I'm sorry this is the kind of crap you're going through.

But you live and learn, that's life."

"Well..

I like William.. But... I don't know. Maybe he doesn't even--"

"Don't even say it. I know he's interested! Now, get some sleep! It's late! Goodnight!"

I hung up the phone without her even saying good night. I sprawled on my bed and passed out.

*Earan's POV*

I hope Sarah was right.

Usually, she is.

I continued my tv marathon, soon falling asleep.

*The next day*

I woke up.

Of course, the first thing I do is check my phone.

Two texts from him.

I smiled from ear to ear.

<William: Good morning :)

Did you sleep well?>

He was concerned about me as my sleep?

As I was thinking, another text appeared.

<William: We should hang out, you got any plans for later?>

Holy shit! What am I gonna say to that?!

It was around 9:46 on a Monday morning.

I jumped out of my bed and sprang on to Dylan's, jumping up and down.

"What the hell!" He threw a pillow at my face.

"Eeepp! Look!!" I squealed in excitement.

"Just shut up and go back to sleep."

He grumpily said in his scratchy voice.

"Whatever."

I call up Sarah once again.
