One Text Away

Prologue

Chloe sighed once she arrived at her brother's small yet cozy apartment. She closed the door with her left leg once she walked inside the apartment. The house was silence and seems empty due to her brother and his boyfriend lack of presence.

The waist-length blonde haired girl shook her head and once again sighed. She knew she needed some time alone from anyone, including her family but this didn't felt right to her. Her brother, Wade, already knew about his sister's problems and booked a trip to Cuba for two weeks with his boyfriend. Said that they wanted to have some alone time together but the real reason was to let Chloe stabilizes her emotions and rearranges her routine.

It's been two months after the incident and she's still in process of moving on. Her whole life turned upside down on that day. She shook her head again, mentally cursing herself for being weak.

I know this should help me but... It's a bit lonely and depressing without those goofballs.

She walked towards the living room and threw her bag on the couch. Then, she turned and made her way towards the fridge. She pulled out an apple and took a bite from the fruit. Whilst she's chewing the fruit, her mind raced to make a list about what she should do for these two weeks alone in this house.

Of course, normal people will call their friends and invited them to sleepover or threw some parties while her brother's gone. Well, she's not one of those people. Chloe was an antisocial and she only had one friend. She used to be a social butterfly but after the incident, she cut herself off from most of those people who were so-called as her 'friends'.

She bit on the fruit then tossed it into a trash bin after she finished. Her right hand was sticky because of the fruit's juice so she wiped it on a napkin which was hanging on the wall. Her left hand wiped her lips and she suddenly remembered that she has some laundry to do.

Happy that she finally has something to do other than moping around and let herself succumb into the depression void, she walked towards her room to pick up her laundry basket. The apartment had two bedrooms, one laundry room and one bathroom/toilet. The master bedroom, which was Wade and Eric's bedroom was situated opposite of hers, while the bathroom was located beside the master bedroom.

The girl reached her room and put her hand on the doorknob but she stopped her movements once she saw something that caught her eyes. Her brother's room door was slightly ajar.

They must have left in rush. I mean, this afternoon was their flight so they might have not close the door properly.

She turned and took a few steps towards her brother's bedroom. Actually, I've never see what their room looks like.. A smirk forming at her lips and instead of closing the door, she pushed and opened it. Her green eyes widened at the sight infront of her.

Their bedroom was a mess. Every piece of clothings were scattered around on the floor, shirts, shorts, jeans and even underwears. The bed wasn't made, pillows were here and there, the duvet itself was a mess. Even the wardrobe cabinet's door was opened and of course the inside of it was nothing better than the room. She let out a frustrated breath through her gritted teeth.

I knew Wade is not the most hygienic person on earth but Eric?? I expected better of him for god's sake.

She pulled out her phone and quickly typed a message to send to her brother. Her white pearly teeth were still grinding against each other to prevent her from screaming curses. Without double checking the message, she pressed send and quickly put the device back into her pocket.

Step into the couple's closet, she pulled out a basket and quickly started cleaning the room. The girl tidied every single thing in the room, she even made the bed. After she finished, Chloe carried the full basket of clothings and put it inside the closet. The teen closed the room's door then brushed her bangs out of her green eyes. She checked her watch and shocked that it took her almost an hour to clean her brother's room.

Shaking her head, she made her way towards her room and quickly took of her baby blue shirt. When she was about to undo her pants, she pulled out her phone from the pocket. To her surprise, she received a message from an unknown number. The number was somewhat similar to her brother's.

Wait. What?

Her heart started to beat faster than before. Her fingers quickly unlocked the screen and opened up the message. Her pale face suddenly became warm and redder than she usually is. A curse was released from her lips once her eyes fell on the screen, reading the message.

Chloe, 18:20 :

*picture*

Are you fucking kidding me, Wade?

Istg, once you got home from your fucking honeymoon, I'll strangle you with your own freaking underwear.

Unknown, 19:45 :

Idk any wades but damn you have one hell of kinky shits ;)

Chloe's green eyes widened once she realized that she typed Wade's number wrong and ended up sending a murder threat to a stranger. Who would even scared if an underwear was pick as a murder weapon? This person might as well thinking she's a weirdo. Biting her lower lip, she typed another message to clear the misunderstanding. Might as well save her dignity while she can.

Chloe, 19:50 :

Hey, sorry about the text. I intended to send it to my brother but I got his number and yours mixed up.

She shut her eyes and bopping her head a little then she let out a whispered 'fuck it' and typed again.

Chloe, 19:52 :

And no, I dont have any kinks involving underwears or strangling..

The blonde girl threw her phone on her bed then quickly continues in her attempt of undressing. She wrapped her body with her towel and before she walked to the bathroom, she checked her phone for any notifications. Again, she was surprised that the stranger replied to her.

She put the phone back onto the mattress then walked to her bathroom. She stepped inside the shower while her heart was beating crazily inside her rib cage.

What's this feelings? Why my heart's beating faster than usual, my stomach aches too. What the fuck is happening to me?

The realisation was dawned on her, she started feeling this way when the stranger replied to her. She shook her head and took a deep breath to calm herself. Chloe knew that she is an antisocial but she never felt nervous or anxious whenever she talks with strangers. This is so unlike her to be nervous and fidgety.

This giddiness... This feelings... The rush of adrenaline..

She rested her forehead againts the tile walls of her bathroom and sighed for an umpteenth time for that day.

I hate it.
