❝Hey.❞
❝103? Why are you calling me so late? It's midnight here.❞
❝It's midnight here too you dork.❞
❝But why are you calling me so late?❞
❝I was thinking really really hard about you...❞
❝Um...you were?❞
❝Hehe, I'm just kidding. I just wanted to make you feel super uncomfortable.❞
❝Well you sure are doing a great job at it.❞
❝Hah! I knew it! Either way, just wanted to thank you for earlier. You really helped put a smile on my face. Thanks for your kind words.❞
*yawns*
❝No problem. That's what friends are for, right?❞
❝...yeah.❞
❝...❞
❝London?❞
❝What?❞
❝Do you actually mean it?❞
❝That we're friends?❞
❝Yeah.❞
❝Of course, why wouldn't we be?❞
❝Because you don't even know who I am. You've never even met me.❞
❝So? We talk every single day about my girl problems. You have my trust.❞
❝I wish I could be so trusting sometimes...I wish I could see the world through your eyes, London. It seems so wonderful.❞
❝Why do you say that?❞
❝Because you live in a world where peace exists in between your little daily routines. You can go out for coffee without feeling guilty, you can come home to a family who talks and asks about your day- to a mom who calls you down for dinner. Not everyone has that...❞
❝103? A-Are you c-crying? Are you okay?❞
❝I-I'm sorry Londie. I get sort of emotional when I'm tired. I should go.❞
❝Please don't. You know they say that when you're tired, you're the most honest. ❞
❝I feel that's true.❞
❝I do too, but please don't cry. I'm here if you need to vent, even if it is past midnight.❞
❝That's so nice of you, Londie. Why are you so nice all the time?❞
❝I don't know.❞
❝...❞
❝But anyway, can I ask you just one more time...?❞
❝About?❞
❝Can you please just tell me your real name?❞
*sigh*
❝If I do, you cannot call Heartbreak Hotline and snitch. I could get fired if you report me.❞
❝I won't. Pinky promise. ❞
❝I'm only telling you this because I have about fifteen percent trust in you. ❞
❝Fifteen percent? Is that all I'm worth now?❞
❝Don't press your luck, Londie.❞
❝Fine, fine. Just tell me!❞
❝Fine. My real name, my true name, the name my parents decided upon when I came into this world is-❞
❝Is what?❞
❝...❞
❝103? We don't need this long of a dramatic pause.❞
❝...❞
❝Can you just tell me already? I can't wait much longer!❞
❝...❞
❝Oh crap. My phone just died.❞
