The Face Behind My Computer "Rewritten"

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

                                                                               I layed in my bed my eyes wide open starting blankly at what i imagine would be my white  ceiling. I'm lost in my thoughts. It's one of those nights where you just feel this heavy weight has been drop on your shoulder, weighing you down. When reality bitch slaps you. When you realize life will never go the way you dream. Like whatever you do is not ever good enough, you feel like a failure.

                                                                            I twist and turn in bed, hoping sleep will soon take over. It's about two o'clock in the morning on a Sunday. I inwardly growl frustrated of my lack of sleep.  My phone vibrate on my lamp table. I glance at the clock making sure of the time, then crease my eyebrows frowning a little.

                                                                Sitting up I lean over and grab my phone. My eyes widen in shock. It's two in the morning. Whatcould he possibly want? What is he doing up? There's y only one way to find out.

Rich: Hey sweetheart sorry for waking you up so early.

                                                                              There he goes again with the nickname. Don't get me wrong it sweet and all, but I feel like he's claiming me as a property by doing that. And to be honest i don't do well with that.

Roxanne: First stop calling me that. Second it's no problem I wasn't sleeping any ways. What's up?

Rich:Why shouldn't I call sweetheart, Sweetheart.

Roxanne:Because I don't do well with nicknames so can you just answer my question.

Rich:I just couldn't sleep knowing I didn't talk to you all day.

Roxanne:You say it as if we're dating which we're not and we did talk this afternoon.

Rich:Well it felt like its been years.

Roxanne:Okay lets not get over our heads now.

Rich:Right friends zone :(

Roxanne:Yes lets keep it there nothing more.

Rich:How long do I actually have to wait?

Roxanne:Wait for what?

Rich:You know what I'm talking about don't make me repeat myself.

Roxanne:If it's what I'm thinking then can we just talk about it some other time. I'm not in the mood.

Rich:Fine but you can't keep running away from this.

Roxanne:Whatever.

Rich:I'm being serious.

Roxanne:There is no need for that we barely know each other.
