The Risk Of Falling (Edited)

TWENTY ONE

DP?

Yeah?

Oh, you're back. Thank God. I was getting worried

You were worried about me?

Of course. You just up and left our conversation the other day. I've been waiting for you to text me first but it's been days so I decided to text you

Wow. I didn't think you would be concerned.

Well, you tell me that you aren't happy all the time and then stop answering my texts. How couldn't I be worried?

I'm sorry for that. Things just . . . I don't know how to explain it unless I tell you the whole thing.

Then tell me

I'm not ready. It's huge and people usually stop talking to me when I tell them.

Okay. I understand.

Thank you, LP. I really appreciate it

You're welcome. It felt really weird not talking to you for the past couple of days

Yeah, it did feel weird. I guess I'm used to texting you everyday. I missed you

I missed you too. Ha, that's funny to say because I don't really know you lol

But it feels like I've known you for my whole life

Hey, I was going to say that! You beat me to it

No way

Yes way.

That's great lol.

Yup

I can feel my heart beat

What?

Miles a minute

What are you doing

When you come around

Are you doing another lyric prank?

Yeah lol. I was bored so I decided to do this lol.

What song is it?

The Truth by Sincerely, Gray

Hm, I'll have to listen to it

Yeah, you should. It's such a wholesome and sweet song. It's a husband / wife duo so they have really nice songs

Really?

Yeah. The guy in the song is finally acknowledging that he likes the girl and how she's his everything. I'm pretty sure in an interview, the husband said that he wrote this about his wife when they first met

Aw, how sweet

I know. I hope to find something like that, you know? I want to find someone that is my everything

Me too. As I get older, my views change on what I want in a guy. When I was young, I always wanted someone hot physically. Now, it doesn't matter much if they are hot. All that matters is how good they are on the inside.

Wow, I sound so old lol

You're totally right. They may be the hottest person in the world but can be ugly because they aren't even nice

Yeah. I'm glad we agree on that lol

Me too. It's getting pretty late, LP. I think I'm going to bed

Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite

Nighty night lol

A silly smile worked its way onto my face as I leaned back on my bed. The only light was coming from my phone, so I turned the screen brightness down. Setting my phone down on my bedside table, I turned on my side, the smile still gracing my face.

A fuzzy feeling spread through my body at the thought of him. That jolted me awake. I hadn't felt like this since my ex-boyfriend. Fear raged through my body at that thought. I could not like DP. There was no way.
