Countdown To True Love

Chapter 4: A Response?

~Layla's p.o.v~

It's been almost 3 weeks since Sophia sent the message, and still no response. Sophia had convinced herself he was the one and everyday she got sadder and sadder. She's heartbroken and she never even met the guy! I blame myself, if I hadn't told her how to contact him this might never have happened! I knew I would regret my decision...

I approached Sophia in her backyard, she was on the ground plucking the grass, she always did that when she was thinking.
"Hey Soph, whatcha thinking about?"

She didn't even bother to look at me.

"Still no response."

Her voice was brittle and she looked like she was going to cry. I can't stand it when she cries.

"So what?" I replied softly in an attempt to make her feel better."You haven't even met the guy, he could be awful in person."

"You don't get it."

She finally looked me In the eye.

"The more I watch his videos, the more I feel my timer go crazy and I was so sure he was the one," her voice cracked, "the feeling I got when I first saw him is getting stronger, it feels as if it's taking over! Yet, he doesn't even know I exist. It kills me Layla, It really does!"

She couldn't hold it in anymore, she burst into tears. The only thing I could think to do was hold her in my arms as she wept. I didn't know she had felt so strongly about him."

"I'm so sorry Soph, I had no idea you felt this way." I whispered

*Later*

~Sophias p.o.v~

For the past 3 weeks I've been watching David's videos. I've just had this feeling that make me feel like I need him in my life and it gets stronger everyday. His videos aren't going to satisfy that need forever, I need to see him in person, to know him, to talk to him, I can't do that through his videos. I only have about 1 week left and I'm afraid that I won't feel the same things with my true love that I feel with David. I know it sounds ridiculous to be in love with someone that I haven't even met, and It probably is, but I can't help the way I feel about him.

1 week, 1 day, 6 hours, and 15 minutes

"There's still time, right? Any minute he could send me a message and we could meet."
...

"Who am I kidding, he won't respond. He probably thinks I'm some creep who just wants to meet him for the fun of it."

I decided then and there that enough was enough! I've put myself through enough and I'm not going to torture myself any more!

~The next morning~

I had told Layla my thoughts on everything and she agreed, of course, I knew from the start she didn't like that I thought he was the one. Can I blame her? I was ready to quit everything, watching his videos, thinking about him...until I got a message.

"Sophia, I got your message, I'm sorry it took so long to respond. To be honest, at first I thought you were just trolling me, so I ignored your message for a while. But then I realized I had the same amount of time as you. I didn't know what to do because I couldn't think straight after that, so I got some advice from some friends and I finally decided to write you back, I think it'd be great to meet each other in person, my number is 659-443 ~David"

Ooooh, what'll happen next. I guess you'll just have to wait and see. To be honest I don't even know what'll happen next😂 So I'm not sure when I'll update next, but hopefully soon!
