FaceTime

The other night I flipped a coin after staring at my phone for a half hour. Heads I text you tails I don't.

Heads.

"Hey..." is all I said. At 1 in the morning I wasn't expecting a text. But it didn't take long for him to respond. We texted for a few hours until we FaceTimed around 4am. Talking about anything really. His ex, my ex, music, tv, friends, anything. And I was so happy. All night I was hinting at my feelings toward him.

"Yeah, it sucks wanting someone you can't have"

"It's hard to be with someone when you're stuck on another person"

"I think we meet people for a reason,
You know?"

With that he agreed with me.

"Yeah. I don't think it's a coincidence that we met camping and with live a half an hour away from each other."

"I really got to your heart didn't I? When I first met you, you said that you didn't believe in love. I'm sorry that someone hurt you like that" you said.

We then talked about how we both think to much about the same things over and over again.

"Well what do you think about?" He asked looking a little sad.

"I- nope not talking about it with you." And with that you furrowed your brow.

"I wanna know. Tell me."

"No because the last thing something like this came up it ruined everything. No." I explained

"Sav, I already know what it's about so just tell me. I didn't know how to handle this type of thing before. Now I do so don't worry" she says as I look outside seeing the suns already in the sky.

"I don't even know where to start." I say turning my phone from my face to the ceiling.

"Anywhere you want." With that it was silent for a while as I was thinking.

"Okay. So this sounds lame but it helps me sleep at night. Anyway, if I'm listening to music and I hear I song I relate to I write it in a notebook. Just look up the lyrics and write it down. Well I found a notebook and in the back there was something I wrote back in November, after we stopped talking, about how I felt about it, and you, and my feelings toward you. So I wrote on the back of it. And when I wrote Down how I felt about you, nothing has really changed." I said, my heart pounding in my throat.

It was quiet for a minute and then you spoke.

"I'm just gonna say I love how you approached that. I don't think anyone else on this planet wouldve done it like you just did."

I forget what was said after that but I remember this

"You know there's nothing wrong with you. You cute, and funny, and sweet, and you always care about what's going on with me. One of the only problems is that you're a half hour away and I don't want us to have to rely on our parents."

After 4 hours of FaceTime you went to sleep so you didn't get caught and so did I.

I was up until midnight that day running on 3 hours of sleep and talking to you through out the day. Around 1 I woke up to your text and you asks did I was up.

"Yeah. Why?"

"Just wondering"

"Actually I'm not but I'll stay up."

"You can go back to sleep"

"I can stay awake too" I said as I held my phone in my hand, laying in the dark, listening to my music.

"You down to ft?"

"Sure"

In two seconds you were calling me. Since we talked so much the morning before we didn't really have anything to talk about so we watched our TVs just enjoying the company, talking about what we're watching for the next 4 hours.
