Chapter 42: I confuse him

　　Unknown Hey, sorry it took so long to text you. I have been so busy with AJ I didn’t have time to read your letters and reply them. I am not ignoring you, I swear. Just busy ( This week has been so hectic.

　　AJ? I know AJ and only one person says AJ. I snatch my phone from the nightstand and begin typing.

　　Me Hey stranger. What about now? Have you read them?

　　Throwing my legs over the bed, I sit at the edge, back hunched and teeth between my lips. My feet drum into the floor as seconds roll by without his reply. The answer is easy. Yes or no. I toss the phone on my pillow and collapse to the bed. I count to twenty, then peek at my screen. No reply. I cup my face, glaring at the ceiling as I scream. I am dying to talk to someone about Ben. About our kiss.

　　What should I do? I need advice.
