Arrival (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 5

I finish my project on Saturday. I honestly don't have anything better to do. I try calling Jessica throughout the entire weekend. She finally answers on Sunday night around 10.

When she answers my call, she looks strangely happy and her face is perfectly covered in makeup.

"Callie! I've been wanting to talk to you but I've been busy all weekend."

"Yeah.. I think you have some explaining to do?" I say, laughing in the process.

"Oh my goodness. I am so so so sorry if it was bothering you over the weekend. It was really late and I don't know what was going through my mind."

"Well can you please tell me what happened?" I desperately ask. Hopefully she will tell me.

"Okay, this is going to sound a bit silly, but I promise Harry is just someone who I have nightmares about. I don't know why, but they often wake me up and I mistake it for real life. I've never even met anyone named Harry before, it's quite strange."

A huge wave of relief washed over me. Even though something didn't seem right here, I was thankful she was okay.

"Oh thank god." I say it and I mean it.

"I am very sorry about that. So, do you have anymore questions for me? Our eassays are due tomorrow."

"Nope, I think I'm good"

"Okay, I'm good too. I'm a bit tired, so I think I am going to go to sleep. I loved meeting you, and I hope we keep in touch! Especially after talking about summer. I would love to become better friends and maybe even meet you."

"Thank you, and of course! We will definitely talk soon. Have a good night."

"You too." she replies, and I end the call.

After being up so late all weekend, I couldn't seem to fall asleep. Though I already knew Jessica so well, I feel like there are a lot of things I don't know about her. Though her personal life shouldn't be a concern to me, I wonder where she lives and if she's okay. We had so many things alike, and I would hate to loose touch with her.

I woke up again around 3. Great. The Mason situation was also bothering me. I guess he really likes me, but I'm scared to get into a relationship after what happened with Austin.

Looking back at our relationship, Austin Wells and I seemed like soulmates. We were best friends who fell in love. We ended in the worst way, though. We were together for 2 years, and he had the nerve to cheat on me. He ended up breaking up with me in September. I was crushed, and stayed away from guys since then. However, after we broke up I felt like I could always tell when someone was lying to me. Even though Mason seemed true, there was something with Jess that was off. I didn't want to say goodbye yet.

I walk into History on Monday, and I have to admit I was pretty nervous. I get even more worried when Mason isn't sitting at his desk.
