― UNKNOWN NUMBER! (IRWIN)

"Hey...what's your name anyway?"

"Nikki, hi Ashton,"

"Pretty name, prettier girl...oh wait I have no idea what you look like,"

"I know what you look like,"

"That sounds creepy I'm sorry..."

I giggle.

"I assumed you did since you totally fangirled over me and my mates,"

"My mates and I,"

"Are you an English teacher now?"

His giggle makes me light up with a smile.

"Bitch I might be,"

"Shit I swore,"

"Fuck I'm sorry...shit...DAMMIT!"

Embarrassed, I sigh.

I can't stop giggling. She's so cute.

"I don't even think I can tell you not to swear without laughing,"

I snort, causing him to laugh more.

"How bout we play 20 questions?"

"Changing the subject, nice,"

"I try. Now you go first,"

"Ok, uh, what is your full name?"

"Nikki Braelynn Frey,"

"What do you wear bandanas?"

"To keep my hair out of my eyes when I'm drumming,"

"You're pretty cute when you wear em"

I blush. Thank goodness she can't see me.

"What do you look like?"

"Um, I have red ombré hair and brown eyes...I'm female..."

"Oh by golly! You're a girl really!?"

I could breathe because I was laughing so hard.

"You just said golly,"

"Not you too! The boys make fun of me all the time,"

"Aww poor baby. I'm sorry, love me again?"

"Who said I loved you in the first place?"

"........."

I could tell he was joking, but for some reason hearing him say that hurt me so much. I was naturally an emotional person, this was different. I was on the verge of tears for things I couldn't explain, so I did the only logical thing I could think of. I hung up.

She had been silent for a while but I heard her shallow breaths.

"Nik-"

She had hung up.
