When I Text You, It Means I Miss You

Anything For You

Patrick's POV

"Hello? Patrick?" I held my breath as he actually answered. I was kinda hoping he wouldn't. 

"Patrick, are you there?" 

"Uh...y-yeah...I'm here." 

"Are you okay? What's wrong?" 

"N-no....I'm fine."

"You're obviously not okay otherwise you wouldn't call."

"Maybe I just wanted to hear your voice." He chuckles a little.

"As much as I wish that was true, I know it's not." I start to whine a little.

"Can't we just pretend that it's true?"

"Patrick, why don't you just tell me what's wrong?" 

"Because I told you I'm fine." But I'm not. And he knows it cause my voice cracks on the last word as I feel a tear slip out. 

"Are you, are you crying?" 

"N-no...I-I'm n-not." I stutter out as more tears fall from my eyes.

"Please tell me what happened. Maybe I can help you...." He trails off at the end waiting for my response.

I sigh, "It might just be better to show you. Where do you live?" 

"Okay I'm scared and i'm not sure if it's because I have no idea what you're going to show me or that you want to know where I live." 

"Why is your place a mess?" 

"Well....yeah..kinda but how do you I know you aren't just gonna kill me. I mean it is like almost 2 AM."

"Hey, you're the one who texted me because you were up." I smile a little. 

"Welll...yeah..but uh I just...I wasn't expecting you to call let alone want to come over."

"You're cute when you're flustered." I giggle at the end of my sentence. 

"Shut up Patrick." I can hear the smile in his voice. 

"Soo.....is that a yes?" I really hope he says yes. I can't go back to him. Not tonight. Maybe not ever. 

"If it will get you to tell what's going on, then yes." A sigh of relief escapes my lips.

"Thank you Pete. And I'm pretty sure you'll figure it out soon enough." 

"You know saying things like that just worries me."

"I know. Sorry."

"It's fine. Just....just get here soon okay? I'll text you my address."

"Okay. And Pete?"

"Yeah?"

"You have no idea how much this means to me."

"Anything for you, Patrick."
