DAY 2/14 into 3/14

After coming home from the Trap House, I immediately fell asleep. I woke up a couple hours later. Rolling over, the alarm clock on my night stand read 12:03 A.M.

I got up and started to unpack. I grabbed my phone to play some music only to see two messages from unknown numbers, sent from around the time Casey and I went home.


Unknown: heyyyy baby it's your soon to be baby daddy brennen


I rolled my eyes, saving the contact as 'Brennen'. I clicked on the other message.


Unknown: hey it's Colby. Brennen gave me your number. I hope that's cool


Oh my God, Colby has my number?

I saved the contact. I decided to respond to Colby.


Skye: it's no problem, I told him to give out my number if any of you asked for it


I turned some music on, grabbing my clothes again. Just as I put some shirts away, the music muted for a second, only to turn back up again. I looked at my phone, a new text from Colby.


Colby: ok cool. are you getting ready for bed cuz I'll stop texting you


I smiled lightly at my screen. I replied to him.


Skye: actually I just woke up. I fell asleep after hanging out with yall so im probably gonna be awake for a while.


I stared at my screen for a moment, seeing Colby writing a response.


Colby: can I call you?


I gasped quietly, my eyes widening. Why did he want to call me?


Skye: sure. Is something wrong?


I didn't get a message back. My phone lit up, incoming call. I clicked answer.

"H-hello?" I asked, stammering.

"Hey. Nothing's wrong, by the way. I just wanted to talk." Colby stated.

I sighed, "Oh okay, good. I was a bit scared for a moment."

He chuckled. "Sorry about that."

"Is there any reason why you wanted to call me?" I questioned, putting the phone on speaker so I could continue to unpack.

"Um, actually there is. I can't get to sleep right now and all of my friends are already asleep so I thought maybe talking to you could make me tired." He confessed.

"Are you saying I'm boring?" I asked jokingly.

"No that's not what I'm saying. I just thought talking might make me tired." He laughed.

"I know, I'm just kidding." I giggled, grabbing more clothes from my suitcase.

"Yeah, I don't know what it is but I can't get to sleep at a decent hour anymore." He grumbled.
