Unrequited Love ~Lams~

23

I stared at the contact number, unsure what I was supposed to do.

Why is Alex calling ME of all people? At one in the morning?

I looked at the two buttons, decline or answer.

Shit shit shit shitttttttt.

What do I click?

This is too much thinking for my brain.

I hesitantly click the green button, and put the phone on speaker.

"Hello?" I say.

"John?" I hear a small voice from the other line say. The voice sounded like it was crying.

"Alex? Are you okay? What's wrong?" I say, all in one breath. "Why are you calling me at one in the morning?"

"I-I'm sorry, did I wake you?" Alex asked, still sounding like shit.

"No no, I was already awake. What's wrong?"

"E-Eliza and I b-broke up."

And at that moment I felt so many emotions.

On one hand, Alex is clearly very upset. So that sucks.

But on the other hand... he's single.

There was a awkward silence as I pondered over what to say next.

"John? Are you still there?"

"Are you at your house?" I questioned.

"Uh, yeah? Why?"

"Be there in ten."
