2am Thoughts

The bright red numbers on the clock said it was 2am. It was 2am, and I still couldn’t stop thinking about my conversation with her. Begrudgingly I turned towards my phone, its sleek case reflecting a cherry glow. If I turned on the phone now: I would surely be up in the wee hours of the morning. If I didn’t, I would be plagued with dreams about just one more conversation. The reflection changed.

It was now 2:10am and I haven’t fallen asleep. I reached out and grasped my phone. The cool plastic case both comforted and troubled me. I have an essay to write: the subject matter being one of the courses I disdain the most. I’ve procrastinated. The teacher gave me one more day. And me being me, I didn’t write a single word. If I open this can of worms now I will most likely oversleep and fail.

I rationalize with myself for a moment, everything I’ve detailed makes perfect sense. Therefore, I should turn off the phone and roll over.

Yet my fingers have already opened the app and I’ve already seen her reply.

Haha I swear they’re going to kill us with these projectssss. You can revive my grades when you become a doctor right?

I’d do anything to keep you’re heart safe!

Smh you would end up eating it after being poisoned from all the coffee.

The corners of my lips began to lift until I smiled ear to ear. One last message and I’ll go to sleep. One more.

I love you

With mixed emotions I set my device on the nightstand. My fingers are shaky and I feel oddly queasy, I wondered for a brief moment if I was sick. Then I realized it was because I told her how I felt. My face goes ghostly white mixed with a harsh shade of red. I told her- I texted- Oh no no no no no. I’m not going to get any sleep! She’s going to delete my number! I won’t be able to focus on my essay! I’ll bomb the essay! Fail the class! I won’t become a doctor! A flash of light interrupts my rant. She’s responded. My room gets flooded with a brilliant white and then goes dark again. I sit still. She’s seen it, she’s typed something back, and I’m about to witness the beginning of the end.

My hands quiver and shake violently as I touch my bringer of doom.

Not as much as I love you. Now get some sleep or else you’ll look like me. :heart:

It’s now 3:32 am and I’m just getting to sleep. My long blonde hair is messy, I can’t stop biting my painted nails, and I look like a vampire covered in tomato sauce. However, it’s the best I’ve ever felt as reality had become sweeter than any dream I could hope to have.

2am Thoughts

The heat in the room overwhelmed my senses as I awoke gasping for air. In an attempt to control my fear, I Instinctively searched the room only to be relieved I was alone. As my eyes adjust to the darkness, they flicker across the room towards the sound of constant ticking. Where the old antique clock hung all alone on my bedroom wall, crushing the deafening silence in my head as it struck 2 am. My mind immediately imagining the nightmare I had just moments ago, as I slowly leaned back until my head hit the pillow with a soft thud echoing through the room. A sign that it was time to go to sleep, and yet all I could do was close my eyes and wish for a better tomorrow; as I waited for the sun to rise.
