I was still deciding on whether to date someone different or not. Well, attempt to I guess. It has been the only thing on my mind since I woke up at it was now super late. I pulled my chair to the window and looked out to the night sky. What should I do. I decided to call Cilan.

Ring, ring

"Hello? What are you doing awake Ash?" Cilan yawned and the way he spoke suggested to me I had woke him up.

"I can't stop thinking about whether I should date someone or not" I planted my chin on my window sill and continued looking outside.

"I thought your mind was set on doing it?"

"That was all talk, I am still not sure if I can do it" Deep down I didn't want to.

"Well then, go with your gut, your inside voice so to speak" Cilan suggested.

"Oh, erm. Thanks, Cilan. I'll let you go to sleep now, see ya"

"Night"

I hung up and let out a sigh. My inside voice? We had school in a few hours, it was that late. I guess it will require more thought. I jumped into bed and decided to finally sleep. It can wait till the morning.

As soon as i woke up the thoughts struck me again. My eyes scanned to my watch, which read 5am. I had slept for one hour. I guess that had to be enough as my Mom was going to wake me up in an hour and I can't sleep anyway.

I looked through my phone contacts, specifically at the girls. Misty? No way. No one that I am already friends with. Someone different. My eyes scanned over Sarah. Someone that I spent three years with and she was in Vaniville. I went to our text conversation and began typing away.

'Hey Sarah. Just wondering if you wanted to go out sometime. I still feel bad after last year and now that I have the time, I thought why not?'

My finger hovered over send and I hesitated.

'Listen to your gut, your inside voice so to speak'

Cilans words echoed in my head. My brain is was all for it but my body was hesitating. I decided to listen to my body and collapsed into my bed asleep.

I was woken by my Mom shaking me.

I slowly rose up out of bed "Morning" I said she headed downstairs. I heard a faint 'morning' as I got up. I checked my phone just as a message popped up.

'Sure, we will talk at lunch about it'

I looked puzzled at my phone, did I press send when I went to sleep? I headed downstairs with the answer in my mind.

"Mom. Did you touch my phone?" I asked her. She gave me a nod.

"I saw you had forgot to send a message so I sent it. Don't worry I didn't read it" She turned to her cooking.

I groaned and collapsed onto the table "I wasn't supposed to send it...what will I do now?" I murmured to myself.

"Did you say something?" My Mom asked.

"No, Mom" I replied "God I am starving" I said in hopes of distracting her.

It worked as she plated my food and handed it to me "Well, here you go then"

I dug in and thought for a moment. Maybe it wont be so bad, dating someone else. Sarah is a nice girl and I already know her.

Guess my Mom has made the decision for me, so I just have to deal with it. Guess I went for my mind and ignored Cilan after all. He will be so pissed.

Short? Yes.
Why? Well it is the fifth chapter published today and I felt like I didn't need to write anymore. It kind of sets up the next few chapters.
Sorry for it being short. Nevertheless I hope you enjoyed it.
