"hey princess." his voice flowed through my ears making my jaw drop. it sounded so raspy and deep making my stomach flutter.

i felt a sudden warmth fill my body as he called me princess. it spread through my veins as all i could think about was his voice.

"hey e." i reply with a quiet shy tone.

i hear a gasp and my eyes widen, afraid of what he was thinking.

was my voice weird?

my fist covers my mouth as i wait for a reply.

"holy fuck." he speaks making me jump at his curse word.

"your voice is so beautiful." he says right after making my heart flutter in my chest.

i swallow the air stuck in my throat as i prepare to speak back.

"t-thank you." i mutter quietly, mentally facepalming at how awkward i'm being.

a chuckle from his side of the phone, flows through mine making my jaw drop. his laugh is so damn pure as it rings through my ears.

"why can't you sleep petal?"
"wanna talk about it?" his deep voice releases in a soft tone. the way he seemed as if he cared made me truly fall.

"i was just thinking of olly..." i admit smoothly. i didn't even know i admitted it till the words repeated in my head. it was surprising how easily i just spoke it freely considering he was a stranger.

but at the same time, he wasn't.

we have texted once, or twice if you would like to say. i've seen his face, if it really is. and now i've heard his voice. he sure does sound like a 17 year old so all i've got to do is put some trust in this guy.

"hey! is that the jerk face." he teases from the first text. i roll my eyes finding a smile to appear on my lips.

"yes, yes it is."

"you never told me what you did to piss him off." he speaks. just by the way he said it, i could tell he was smiling. or even just a sneaky smirk.

i gulp a little before taking a deep breath in.

"i stuck up for myself." i say truly, already knowing he wasn't going to quite understand what i meant.

the line was quiet, signalling for me to keep going.

"so, i ended it." i shrug.

"what do you mean?" his voice sounded a little worried as shuffles were heard.

"me and olly were together for about 5 months. he wasn't good for me and i finally stuck up for myself. i broke it off."

"awhh princess... wait." his voice started off sweet and soft until it suddenly became serious.

"he never hurt you right?" his words had anger laced in them. it was so clearly heard.
