The joshler will begin soon. I promise. Tryna not b boring i swear
I stared at the piece of paper. It was 2:34 am, but i couldn't sleep.
I was too busy memorising everything about it, every dent in the paper, every line he had drawn, everything. It was probably a little bit weird. My therapist would have told me not to, but that didn't matter because i wasnt going to tell them. My heart was racing as i got out my phone to call the number. I thought it would be safe to try and call him now because he would be asleep, there was a very small chance of him answering. Im not one hundred percent sure why i wanted to call him, there was just something about him that was so welcoming, something that made my heart beat a little bit faster than normal. I just wanted to see if the number was real.
I dialled it and on the third ring, someone picked it up.
My heart skipped a beat as i heard them say hello.
It was josh.
I quickly hung up.
A few minuts later he called me back
"Hello? I believe i missed a call from this number." He said in a calm voice. I took a deep breath in and answered, i pretended to be surprised,
"Oh hi josh. Im sorry to bother you i just- i accidentally called this number..." i mumbled
"Oh... i mean, alright then. I guess i will see you tomorrow then?"
"Wait," I said
"Can i talk to you for a little while?"
I heard him laugh softly,
"Of course tyler, what did you want to talk about?"
"I just wanted to say thank you. For helping me today, well yesterday now i guess."
"Thats ok, yeah, would you look at that. We've known eachother for a day now. What are you doing up anyway?" He asked me,
"oh you know. Thinking. I have trouble getting to sleep."
"Me too." He said, "well at least we have each other."
"Yeah" i said, and in that moment i got an odd feeling in my chest. My heart jumped a little and my fingers and toes tingled. I liked josh, in more ways than one.
We spoke for a little longer after that, then i think he fell asleep because it went very quiet on his end for a long time, and i probably shouldnt tell you this but i didnt hang up the phone, because i liked listening to the sound of him breathing.
The next day he wasnt at school so it felt like forever until the day ended and i got to go home. I managed to get to all of my subjects ok, i did ask for some help from a girl called hayley, she was lovely and her hair was bright orange. I hope to see her again soon.
When i got home i called josh. He picked up after a few seconds silence,
"Hello.." he mumbled, sounding extremely hoarse
"Oh im sorry, are you ok?"
"Yeah, just got a cold. Why are you sorry?" He asked, i found it hard to understand him
"Oh i just- i wasnt sure if you would get angry or something- i don't know." I said quietly
"Hey, dont worry about it." He could hear i was getting panicky, i did that a lot, "Did you want to come over? We can just chill, i have some movies,"
"I would love to!" I said, jumping up. No one had ever invited me to their house before, "wait, does this mean we are frends?" I asked him
"I guess it does. Ok. Ill text you my address, see you soon?"
"See you soon, josh,"
He hung up. I jumped up and down with excitement, running into the next room, where my mum lay asleep on the couch
"Mum! You would not believe what just happened! I have a frend! A real frend!"
She didnt move,
"Mum?" I asked again, shaking her shoulder, she lay still.
"Mum! Please wake up!" I said, my hands shaking,
God what do i do what do i do? I thought to myself
I ran to my room, calling an ambulance. The rest of the night was a blurry phase.
Im sorry that was so bad wowzers i should stop (even though no one reads them *sigh*)
