I walked into the house a mess. My hair was up in a bun but some of my wavy dark hair fell out. I didn't have time to do my makeup or pick out a cute outfit so I was in sweats and a tank top. I was in no mood for jokes. I just wanted to sleep so I could try and get back to my dream.

It was so surreal. I wanted it to be real. I take that back. I wanted Jack to be mine again. I knew I couldn't have him though. He probably moved on already. Like I should be doing.

*beep*beep*

"Good afternoon cutie. Hope your day was great." -unknown number

"Let's just say I'm not really in the mood ." -me

"That bad? "-UN

"Yes."

"Do you want to talk about it?" -UN

"Not really. I mean I just woke up late so my day has been off."

"Oh that sucks. What we're talking about yesterday?" -UN

"Umm... Idk . Hey I still don't know your name."

"Uhh yeah I know."-UK

"Well aren't you going to tell me?"

"No."-UK

"Aww come on!"

"Sorry I'm just not ready." - UK

"At least give me something ."

"I like you lol."-UK

"Lol no u don't."

"Yes I do 😂😂"-UK

"Why? Im such a mess."

"Okay go to your bathroom. "-UK

"What for?"

"Just go." -UK

" okay now what?"

" look in the mirror." - UK

" okay? "

"Tell me what you see."-UK

" I see a girl it's bags under her eyes extremely messy hair and the nastiest outfit ever" I viewed myself. Asking-damn did I look like this all day?-

" seriously? Okay no." -UK

"No? Look !" I sent him a picture to prove how shitty I look.

"Yeah no." -UK

"No what?"

"No you are wrong. Do you want to know what I see? I see someone who works hard to get what she wants, someone who doesn't care what other people think. Someone who doesn't need a man to be happy. Someone who is beautiful in every way possible. Someone I have come to love." -UK

"Thanks. But seriously, who are you? Is this.."

"Who?"-UK

"Jack."

"Who's Jack?"-UK

"My ex-boyfriend from Australia. But since you don't know, I guess your not Jack . "

"No, and you don't need him. I hope you know that." -UK

"He was good to me. He loved me like no one else. I guess I just miss him."

"What do u mean "love u like no one else."?"

"He's the only one who ever truly loved me and treated me like I was everything."

"Alex?"-UK

"Yeah?"

"I don't believe you for s second."-UK

"Why not?"

"Because I know what your saying isn't true." -UK

"How? "

"Because I love you."-UK

"Well I don't know who YOU are, so technically it's still true."

"Oh come on Alex, you know I'm right."-UK

I read the message but was left with no words to say.

"I know you read it, please don't be mad at me." -UK

"I'm not mad, I just don't get what is so great about me."

"I see everything that's great about you. From head to toe, your perfect. And you don't need me or any other guy to tell you that. " -UK

"You need to stop." I wrote trying not to let him in.

"Stop what?"-UK

"Being so sweet to me."

"Why?" -UK

"Cuz Your making it hard for me not to let u in." I felt a tear slowly fall down my face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were falling for me."-UK

"Aha stop. I'm not falling for you."

"Oh but Alexandra I think you are." -UK

"Lol how do u know my real name?"

" I told you lex, I know you."-UK

" lol u are freaky."

" aha it only shows that I love u enough to know you. Just like I know ur secrets. "

"What?!?"

"Lol I know ur secrets." -UK

"That's kind of weird."

"Alright I give you that, but it's okay they are safe with me, I promise."

"So why can't you tell me your name !"

" I'm not ready for the rejection."

"What makes you so sure I'll reject you?"

"Because I don't deserve you, but I'm gonna do my god damn best to be enough for you."

"At least give me a name. "

"V"

"V?"

"Yeah. "

"Well V, I'm pretty sure u are enough for me, more than enough. "

"Not to me."

"Hey, I'll text u tomorrow. I think I'll take a nap."

"Okay, I love you."

"Lol yeah whatever weirdo :)"
