"Shit, shit, shit"  I stand up and take my phone from my bag. I look at the time.  "20.03?? No, no, no," I repeat sweating while I look at my messages.

Babyy

[09.16] Okay babe, talk you later xx

[11.21] Look I saw this TikTok and thought of us! (link)

[14.11]Hey...

[14.24]Do you know if you have time?

[15.06] Chloe...could you answer the phone? pls

[16.11]Chloe?

[17.24] Okay whatever you could've just told me you would be busy...

[17.25] Are you busy or you just dont wanna see me? You're always the same...I don't even know why I try anymore

"Fuc...FANtastic"  I said. I'm trying to correct my swearing. I'm in big trouble. How didn't I see the messages? I need to get on my phone more. What do I answer? Do I answer? Yes, of course. Go.

"Sorry Harry, not the best moment right now"  I say while pausing the Youtube video. I should call her. I press her number on my phone, I know it by heart. Many calls, many I love yous through a screen...and now...feels weird to even say it.

One tone...two...the person you're trying to call is currently busy, please try again another time.

Okay, she hung up, I understand. I'll leave a message. While I was typing I hear my bedroom door opening. 

"Bitch!"  She says while holding something in her hands.

"Hi Laura, look is not the best-" I get interrupted by her jumping on my bed with excitement.

"WE GOT THE TICKETS, WE GOT THE TICKETS!"  She screams.

"I know, I know...could you just-" I try to explain, but she cuts me off again.

"I can't believe we are going to see him ugh, I must have been very good this year, I love my dad! FIRST ROW"

"First row? Doesn't that mean we are going to..." I try to say.

"SEE HIM? SMELL HIM? FEEL HIS SWEAT? PROBABLY FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM? YES!"  She hugs me and starts singing some song I don't recognize. I should do my homework and listen to his music. She looks at my laptop screen. "You have been listening to him?"  She asks with excitement and wide open eyes.

"Well..." I try to explain.  "I just listened to this one, but I really like it"  I say with a little smile.

"Ugh, you're a sucker for ballads..." Well...true.  "You need to listen to more of his music asap!"

"Okay I will, promise."

"By the way, why do I have three missed calls from Danny and a message saying that we should, and I quote"  She says raising her hands and putting two fingers in the air imitating quote marks.  "Fuck ourselves and stop laughing at her???"
