Strangers || Halsey

Ch.10

8/7/16
Ashley read her message. She wondered how where this little Interaction would take her but she wasn't thinking she was curious.
Stranger: Hi tell me about yourself

You: well what do you want to know

Stranger: I don't know anything you're very intriguing

You: That's what a stalker would say

Stranger:  I noticed after I sent it

You: hehe so well I like cats

Stranger: really me too I also really love dogs

You: which one do you like more??

Stranger: oooh that's a tough one I can't pick

Small talk that didn't feel boring was how their conversations where going. Conversations that where funny and pointless. For two weeks the third week was filled with deep dialogue and secrets things they both hadn't told anyone.  They both felt some sort of shield one not knowing the other and the other not being known.

Stranger: Biggest fear?

You: Are we talking superficial fears or deep?

Stranger: Both

You: Well i don't know i guess i fear failure or just not being successful within terms of career and happiness I guess just the idea of my life not amounting to anything that and spiders i really fucking hate spiders!!!

Stranger: Wow that's heavy you know success is measured personally so in your eyes anything could really be successful

You: Yeah I know I think that's why it's so terrifying because I'm so hard on my self but anyways what about yourself?

Stranger: My fears?

You: yup

Their was no response for a good twenty minutes and Ashley fears she pressed to far. However she only asked what she had answered. Finally the stranger replied

Stranger: I fear not being good enough you know? Like not being smart enough interesting enough, enough to be worth keeping... that and pigeons those things are creepy!!!!

The way Ashley felt about this person not even having met them yet made the situation a lot more real in a sense. 
She cared about the stranger and wanted them to be happy.
Three weeks felt like months of knowing each other then the stranger fell silent.
