The Boy Next Door

Chapter 22

Hey hey hey. It's my birthday. Yay......

I don't really like birthdays to be honest. They are there just to remind you that you're one age closer to your death.

That sounds depressing but it's the truth.

Anyway I got out of bed and walked over to my closet to find a nice outfit to wear today. I decided on some maroon pants with a Lazy tee and my grey converse. I walked into my bathroom and plugged my phone into the speaker and stripped out of my pj's. I stepped into the shower after making sure the water was just right and started washing my hair with my coconut shampoo.

Zach isn't here. He's on tour for DigiFest. They left like 2 weeks ago I think and they are coming back next month. (I have no idea how long DigiFest last. I'm sorry if I got it wrong. Forgive me.) I haven't really had a full on conversation with him since last week.

After I finished conditioning I washed my body and rinsed my hair out.

I got out and put a towel around my body and one around my head. I looked to see if I had gotten a text from Zach while I was in the shower but still nothing. Usually he texts me around 12 before the show rehearsals start to tell me that he won't be able to talk for a while and after the show it's like 10 at night so we don't talk for long.

I really am starting to miss him like crazy. I'm sad he won't be here for my birthday and "make it up to me" like he promised but he's out doing what he loves and I'm so happy for him.

After I got dressed I brushed through my hair and started blow drying it. When I was finished I got a text from Zach.

I don't know why but after reading that tears just started running down my face.

I miss him more than I thought.

I stopped crying and dried my face off. My eyes were now all puffy and red so I grabbed so eye drops from the medicine cabinet and put some drops in both eyes and they cleared up.
