I woke up the next day, and couldn't stop thinking about my mystery texter. I walked downstairs and started looking for something to eat. Then my big brother Adam walked in. "Hey Skylar, me and Ethan are probably going to go on a bike ride today. Wanna come?"

"Nah, I don't really want to." I replied.

"C'mon, we're gonna hunt for Pokémon!"

"No, I don't want to."

"Skylar, if you don't ever do anything active your gonna be fat!"

"Really? So you think I'm fat?!" I said getting mad.

"No," he scoffed. "I mean NOW you're not, but I mean if you keep it up..."

"Oh my gosh, you know what?? Why don't you SHUT UP!!!! You seriously don't know when to STOP!!!"

"Ugh, whatever." Adam walked away.

I ran up to my room, and locked the door. I could feel all of the past bullying that I had endured. Adam has NO IDEA what I go through, he has NO IDEA how insecure I am, he has NO IDEA how much I work out by myself. I just wanted to starve myself and die. The tears came rushing down my cheeks, stinging my eyes.

Then I got a text, I looked at my phone.

Hey! How are you?

Since when do you give a crap?!?

Woah, what's wrong??

Why would I tell YOU?!? You're literally just some CREEP who's stalking me!!! Just GO AWAY.

Wait, please talk to me, are you hurt??

Oh my gosh, just LEAVE ME ALONE!!

Please don't do this! I just want to make sure you're ok!!

Hello?

I'm not okay, I promise.

I put my phone on do not disturb, and cried and cried. Then I worked out until it hurt. I got something to eat after a shower, but I pretty much spent the whole day in my room.

Jacobs POV

I was so scared for the girl I've been texting. Why was she so upset?? If anyone broke her I heart I will find them and kill them!! I must have sent her a million texts, but she's not responding. I want to know more about her, so I can help her when she's like this. But she doesn't want to talk even when she's in a good mood. I mean, I get it, but if only she knew how much I really want to be with her.

Skylar's POV

That night I took the do not disturb stetting off, and I had 34 unread texts!!!!!!!!

Please answer me!!

Hello? Are you there?

Are you okay?

Are you mad at me??

I don't know if you can see this, but if you can please respond!

And that was only SOME of them...

Hey. 😕

Oh my gosh you scared me! What's wrong with you?!?

I'm sorry.

It's fine! I'm just glad your here, are you okay?

Yeah, yeah I'm fine.

I don't believe you.

What happened?

Nothing.

C'mon, no one gets that upset over nothing.

I don't want to talk about it, okay?

Sorry.

Alright. Just promise me your okay.

Promise!

I'm okay, I'm okay!

And you're not just saying that.

Yeah, I was just really upset earlier that's all.

I still don't believe you.

Well you're gonna have to because I'm not about to tell all my secrets to someone I've never met.

Seriously? You still don't even trust me?

...

To be fair, I don't really trust anyone.

I'll talk to you later. Bye!
