After being taunted by Kaley all day and taking her home, I myself finally got to go home. It was a long day. A very long day.
I never opened the paper Tobias gave me. Not because I didn't want to. I just didn't want Kaley reading it.
But all I could think about when I got home was a hot shower and sleeping. The concert was tomorrow and I knew I needed a full nights rest. When I got home mom was asleep, it was only 8pm but that's pretty normal for her to fall asleep early once in a while.  I went to my room and picked out a pair of  Yin Yang pajamas.
As soon as I got into the shower I had forgot about all the troubles of the day. Even about the note.
As soon as I got out I found myself in my bed, craving a full 8 hours. But soon after hitting the bed I looked over at my nightstand and saw the semi crumbled paper.
I just wanted to shake it off and let it wait till tomorrow. But the more I tried to fall asleep the more I couldn't get it off my mind.

"Ugh, fuck it. " I sighed out loud.  When I opened the paper it said, 

" Hello dear, I'm quite new to this area and no one knows, except for the ghouls and you of course, that I now live here. You looked friendly so I thought I'd give you this in return for the little crash.
×××-×××-××××
-Tobias"

I sat there for a little while, trying to comprehend everything.

"Holy shit." I half whisper yelled.
Tobias is living here?  Of all places?  I'm a bit shocked, I'll give you that. But he even gave me his number and the concert is tomorrow.
Millions of thoughts flooded my mind. Should I message him?  Would it seem too soon? Should I message him after the concert??

I thought all the way till 10:19 when I finally decided to put his number into my phone and send him a quick message. Then I could probably try to sleep.

Alina: Heyo,  this is the crash victim from the park/coffee shop. Aka Alina!

After I sent it,  I turned off my phone and collected my thoughts and closed my eyes.
I wouldn't be able to sleep now, even if I took benadryl.
Five to ten minutes of thinking later my phone goes off. I'm pretty nervous to look.  Once I finally pull myself together and look. Sure enough,  it's Tobias.

Tobias: Oh, hello dear!  I was beginning to worry I wouldn't hear from you. :)

I just sat there like I didn't know how to text back.
"Well, damn.  I've really no clue on what to say." I talk to myself.

Alina: I've got to be honest with you, I have no idea on what to say.  Haha.

Tobias: Ah,  no worries hun!  Are you still going to the concert tomorrow?

Alina: Duh, I'm gunna be there with two of my friends.

Tobias: That's nice, is that Kaley girl one of them?

Alina: Haha, yes. She's never really listened to you before. I bought her ticket though because she wanted to come.

Tobias: Ah, ok!  Just make sure not to give them my number haha. I'm entrusting you with it.

Alina: Oh trust me, I won't be giving it out to no one!

Tobias: Good! Hey Alina, it was nice talking to you but I've got to go. Need a full night's rest before singing my heart out!

Alina: That you do! 

Tobias: I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Alina: Trust me, you'll be seeing me in the front!

Tobias: Hehe ok, goodnight!

Alina: Goodnight!!

I look up from my phone and turn it off. I zone out, trying to keep myself calm.
Oh dear, I'm going to be a wreck at the concert.

Authors note: Sorry for a short chapter!!  I'm writing this after work and I'm just ready to sleep. Time change has already ruined me.
