It’s been about a week since I got Jake’s number. We’ve been texting each other almost everyday now. We text each other about random stuff. Every time I want to text him I get…nervous. I don’t want to bother him or make him think that I’m clingy, I guess, but I’m NOT clingy.

I’m having a horrible day! I just got home from school and my sisters are fighting, yet again. No surprise there. Because of my sisters, I’m now in a bad mood. More like an upset type of mood. When I looked at my phone I saw that I had a text, it was from Jake.

Hey. How are you?To:Me

I didn’t want to respond with the truth, but what comes naturally with me is the truth.

Hi. I’m horrible. My sisters are figting and I’m trying to

brak it up but they just won’t stp and I’m home alone!To:Jake

See I can’t even spell correctly right now.To:Jake

I felt like I was about to cry. I’m a very emotional person.

Woah… Calm down. Please explain.To:Me

No one else knows this so please don’t tell. Every time my sisters fight I try to take all the physical stuff, because I don’t want to see them get hurt. Everything is just full of yelling right now and it’s just a bad day.To:Jake

I laid my head back and sighed. I hoped that he didn’t think that I was being stupid.

I’m sorry.To:Me

I didn’t get the message right away, so I thought that he actually felt truly sorry.

Thanks I need it.To:Jake

We texted only for about twenty more minutes then we both had to say goodbye and go back to our separate lives.
