"Hello?" I asked into the phone, rubbing my eyes.

"Hey." I heard a low voice say to me.

My eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "Tyler? Why are you calling me at three a.m.?"

I heard his groggy voice laugh as he responded to me. "Because I can't sleep and I guess I was thinking of you. So I called you."

I felt heat rise to my cheeks as I sat up to lean against my wall next to my bed. "Oh. You sound tired though."

It was silent and I figured he forgot we were on the phone, probably nodding. "Uh, yeah. Yeah I am.."

"Then sleep." I said, more of a demand.

He laughed a bit. "I can't. Too many thoughts I guess.."

I shifted so I was sitting on my pillow for a more comfortable position. "Well, what are you thinking about?"

"To be honest?" He said, pausing before sighing. "You."

I stayed silent and smiled a bit, although I felt guilty that I was the reason he was still awake, yet happy at the same time.

"You should sleep, Tyler." I said, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Laura, wait, listen, I-"

"Goodnight Tyler." I cut him off, hanging up the phone. He's tired he probably doesn't know what he's saying..

I sighed and the laid back down to nuzzle under my covers, thinking about what he said and what it might have meant.

We literally just started talking days ago, I doubt he has gained feelings..

Now he was the thought stuck in my head, not allowing me to fall back to sleep.

"Just great." I muttered, shutting my eyes.
