Twist and Turns

Chapter 12: Message

You lay in your bed, wide awake even though it was four in the morning. You hadn't been able to sleep well at all for several nights. You wish you could attribute exhaustion as to why you were so reluctant to rise in the morning. But that was a lie.

You couldn't find a reason to rise anymore…

You looked at your phone…Another horrid text from someone you were certain shouldn't have your number. 

Probably got it from one of my "friends"…you thought   You wished you could erase yourself from every phone that had your number, just as you had taken down your online profiles when the messages became far too much.  

The phone buzzed once more. Why did you keep looking at the messages? Why were you torturing yourself like this?  

You felt a small rush of relief upon seeing that it was Carl's number. That's right, you had told him about your sleepless nights.   It was a short message.

A question whether you want to hang out with them or just continue succumbing to your weakness. You texted back that you hadn't decided.

You wondered why he was so eager to hang out with you.  

You wished you could say that you would want to hang out with them.  

Finally, after 15 minutes on whether you should hang out with them or just succumb into a weakness, you had decided to hang out with them.

I mean, what's life without the company of peers eh? You aren't the type of person who would chase after girls.   You texted back, saying "Sure, why not? After all, I'm bored."

A wild message appeared! Whoa, didn't expect it. He's fast at texting. O_O 

You put your phone inside the drawer, you yawned.

"I could finally sleep, YAHOO! You exclaimed while mentally dancing around.

"Dreamland, here I come~!" You exclaimed.

You buried yourself under the blanket and dozed off to Dreamland.
