I had to text her. it's been a month. I miss her. i haven't been the same. I've barley been alive. I needed her. i picked my phone up, shaking as I did. I scrolled through my contacts.

I tapped it, pressed the message icon and typed: I miss you. I waited for a reply. i pulled my sleeves down further. it was fairly cold this month. my phone buzzed. I looked down, shivering.
Lauren❤️: josh?
she's okay.

"bye!" I pressed the button ion my camera to stop recording. Then I turned my camera off, removed it from the tripod and put it on my desk. a photo frame caught my eye. me and josh. we haven't spoken for a month. I haven't moved on. mariyah and tyler still spoke to me. they were going strong. I unblocked josh's number a few days after the break up. and deleted it. he hasn't called. he hasn't messaged me. only tweets indirected at me. I still got some hate. I sighed and opened my laptop so I could start editing. then my phone buzzed.

Unknown number: I miss you
I unlocked my phone and looked at fhe text. then I saw a few messages from a few month ago. there was more. I scrolled all the way up till I reached 7th January 2016. a year ago. the day we first spoke. me and him.

Unknown number: can u do me a favour?

Me: who is this?

fuck. it's josh. josh had texted me. tears filled my eyes. my palms sweated. a smile grew on my face. he texted me. did he miss me? did he really? or did he send me the wrong message like he did when we met a year ago? I didn't know what to think. but I had to text him.

Me: josh?
