Behind The Reason

7. Texts

This morning I woke up really early, very early, more than the first time I went to my new high school, even I was surprised by myself. I checked my phone like every morning and I was far from imagining that he was really going to do it. I got three messages.

From: Unknown

To : Me

Ali?

From: Unknown

To: Me

Hello ?

From: Unknown

To : Me

Well I think you're already asleep so I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for yesterday, it was a real pleasure to talk to you and it was really nice of you to have agreed to accompany me and give me your number. And good night have a nice dream, I'll see you tomorrow ?

When I saw these messages I couldn't help but smile stupidly, I didn't expect this kind of awakening so I read the messages again and stopped only at the 3rd times. I answered him

From : Me

To : Him

Hello ! Thank you for inviting me to go there too. Sorry for yesterday I fell asleep so that's why I didn't see your message, it was a night huh?

I didn't wait for his answer I knew it was impossible for him to reply at that time so I went downstairs to cook for me and Lucy. I made waffles and ate. I went back to my room to get ready, I still have not heard Lucy wake up it seemed weird because she always wakes up at the same time every day which is at six in the morning for her exercises but that day her room was still closed so I concluded that she was still sleeping maybe, I didn't pay that much attention.

I took a shower then went down to see if she is already coming but still no trace. I decided to knock on her door but no noise came out, I began to panic because yesterday she had screamed disappointed. I started pounding the door with all my strength then forced it until it's wide open but her bed was already made as if she hadn't slept there yesterday. I went back to the kitchen to get my phone in my bag to call her but I came across her voice mail and saw that she had left her phone in her room, I began to call her name I was starting to tremble, I ransacked the house and then I decided to call Kathy to make her aware of everything but by the time I decided to go out and opened the door, she was standing right in front of me with an astonishment when she saw me in this panic way, I couldn't help but jump into her arms as a sign of comfort.

"Hello... What happen to you? Did you get up with your left foot or what? "

"Never do that to me again! I almost had a heart attack, where did you go? I looked for you everywhere in the house but you weren't there, look I'm still shaking, I had thought the worst I already warned Kathy who by the way will come in a moment when I didn't know where you were gone and ... "I was talking so fast that I lose my breath I was really terrified to think she was not there and maybe it was because of yesterday that she was gone to punish me or something else.

"Ali, I was just going to see Shelby because she called me for something"

"I thought it was because of yesterday, and I apologize"

"For yesterday it's already forgotten and I apologize too I shouldn't blame you as I did but please pay attention"

" Yes "

"You talk but you don't stick with, don't put your 100%"

"Yes Lucy"

"Good come with me I'll prepare you to eat" she said taking my hand in hers and leading to the kitchen
