Love At First Text - Chapter 32

The next day, there was a package in the mail for me.

            There was no address, just my name in black sharpie: Nathan Kent.  I hurried up to my room to open it.

            When the tape was off, I ripped open the box. There was a rectangle of bubble wrap that I quickly unrolled from the item. A CD case fell into my hand. Inside was a silver CD, with a brand name across the surface-obviously not a professionally copied CD.

            Curious, I took the CD out and looked at it closely. It had no writing on it. I searched the box, but I didn't see any note. So who was it from?

            I reached under my bed and pulled out my CD player. I put on the headphones and put the CD in.

            At first, there was silence. Then I heard it.

            The music.

            The sound of a violin suddenly broke the silence. It was so beautiful and angelic, flowing from one note to another, building up in some places and softening at others. It was unlike anything I'd ever heard in my life. It was sweet and peaceful-calming. And yet powerful. For a full four minutes, I just sat on my bed, listening. The ending suddenly turned melancholy and sad, the notes slower. As if it knew the end was coming but didn't want it to come.

            At the end of the four minutes, there was more silence, and I almost took out the CD when I heard:

            "Happy birthday, Nate."

            I froze.

            It was Sofia's voice.

            Oh my God.

            I quickly took out my phone to text her.

did u send me something

            I hoped to God she would reply.

            I didn't have to wait long until she did.

            So she wrote a song…for me?

wait u wrote the song 4 me?

            I waited anxiously for the reply. But my phone never beeped.

            I suddenly felt jumpy, and I needed to do something. I decided to text Dean.

omg dean i think sofia wrote

a song 4 me

            Not able to sit still, I stood up and began pacing around my room. Oh my God. Oh my God. OhmyGodohmyGodohmyGod.

            My heart was hammering in my chest, and I jumped when my phone finally beeped.

she wrote a song 4 u?!wow

what kind of song

< DH+AS 3

she played it on the violin

whats it like?

< DH+AS 3

            I slowed my pacing and stared at the CD player with the CD still inside. My palms grew sweaty at the sight of it.

its…beautiful

did u give her the necklace?

< DH+AS 3

yeah

did she like it?

< DH+AS 3

            I smiled, remembering her reaction. Recalling it, I could feel her warm body against mine as she wrapped her arms around me…

she loved it

see what i tell u lol

< DH+AS 3

she was actually crying when i

gave it to her..

oh my god r u fucking

serious!!oh my god she

fucking loves u man!

< DH+AS 3

            At that, I froze.

she does?!

no i dont think so i mean she

only cried when u gave her a

fucking piece of jewelry OF

COURSE SHE LOVES U

< DH+AS 3

            The thought warmed my whole body, and I couldn't help smiling to myself.

do u really think she does?

did u not hear a single fucking

word i just said? god then why

dont u just ask her

< DH+AS 3

well its kind of a long story

but after her bf cheated on her

she told me she was afraid to fall

in love again in case something

like that happened again

shit r u serious?? u think she

doesnt want 2 fall in love w/

u bcuz shes afraid ull b like

her fucking bf?

< DH+AS 3

            Right in the middle of me texting him back, I got another text from him.

u r way better than him

< DH+AS 3

            I started a new text.

i know but she told me

everything and if she is

afraid 2 fall in love ill wait til

shes ready im not gonna

push her into anything she

doesnt want 2 do

i get it man. im sorry if i

sounded bitchy or

whatever. u really love her

< DH+AS 3

            I paused, rolling Dean's last words in my mind. You really love her… It was completely true, but it seemed different coming from someone else. Then I replied:

yeah i do…

            I sent that, then thought of the words again. You really love her. Dean knew; he understood everything. As crazy as he could be at times, he understood things some people didn't. I swear, he knows me better than I know myself.

            You really love her…

did she ever actually say

she only wanted 2 b friends?

< DH+AS 3

            The question caught me off guard. She had, hadn't she? I thought back, trying to remember her exact words.

well…she said she wasn't

ready 4 anything yet but…i

guess she didn't say it

directly…

well there ya go u still have

hope

< DH+AS 3

            I smiled. He was right. She hadn't directly said that she only wanted to be friends. I did still have hope.

            Then I frowned.

            That still didn't mean she was in love with me. Even if she had gotten over the whole "I'm afraid to fall in love" thing, she still might not be in love with me.

            Dammit. Why did things have to be so complicated?
