I called her some days, not every day, not every week. I texted her some days, once again not every day, nor every week. I spoke to her at school everyday, wasn't in her classes but our friends hang so we hang. I had girlfriends and she had boyfriends, I recently had one girlfriend that I dated for almost a year. I still spoke to Nessa even while with a girlfriend but my girlfriend never knew, nor found out. Me and Nessa were just friends and me and my girlfriend weren't to serious. We broke up a lot and got back together a lot, it caused me pain especially with knowing she used me just for mental health problems. It bothered me in the back of my mind when with friends and talking to Nessa, but never let it ruin me until I got home.

Tonight was a night I called her, she was sick and not at school. I called her last night and now tonight, I just enjoyed speaking with her even if we didn't do much. I sometimes thought to myself 'Do I like her?' 'Do she like me?', I never asked or told. Those thoughts drifted as she picked up the phone hearing Nessa already start speaking, I chuckled as she explained something she got told. I laid there in my bed, listening. This what friends do right? Call and get along. It had been a lot of sending tiktoks back and fourth, we chatted here and there before it went silent.

Did she fall asleep? She's never fallen asleep on call before, I'm overthinking right. "Nessa..?" Was all I spoke, near the speaker of my phone. Before hearing a quite muffled 'mhm' from her end, was she sleepy or half asleep?
