Eshana :

"....."

Zach:

"Morning, Ana? Did I disturb your sleep?"

Eshana :

"Hmmm...Nuh-huh *yawns*...Zaaaach?.."

Zach :

"Haha... Yeah, it's m–! Ouch–"

Eshana :

"Zach?! Are you alright?"

Zach :

"–dude! It hurts!!....

Ahem. Yeah, angel, I'm alright. Just got a little hurt during the game."

Brad :

"Little hurt? You need stitches dude. We need to go to the hospital"

Eshana :

"What?! Zach!"

Zach :

"....."

Brad :

"Dude! Where are you going? Get back here!"

Zach :

"Brad. Can't you wait for a while? I'm not dying"

".Wait...Ana?"

Eshana :

"...."

Zach :

"Angel? Are you there? Talk to me!"

Eshana :

"...is it true? You're hurt really bad?"

Zach :

"No-"

Eshana :

"DON'T LIE TO ME!"

Zach :

*sigh* "...yeah Ana, I need stitches but don't worry.. I'll be fine..why? Are you worried about me?"

Eshana :

"Huh? *sniff* Who's worried? It's just, if you're hurt, who's gonna talk and irritate me when I'm bored?"

Zach :

"Uh oh... Really?"

Eshana :

*sniff*

Zach :

"Ana? What was that?"

Eshana :

"W-what? *sniff*.."

Zach :

"Really Ana? Are you crying?"

Eshana :

"Huh..nope"

Zach :

"Okay fine. Let's do a video call. I'll call you back in a sec-"

Eshana :

"No no don't! I just have a cold"

Eshana :

"As I said, I'll cal-"

Zach :

"Okay, I am. I'm crying. Happy? I don't know why but I am. I'm a crybaby who cries for everything and anything. I don't even know to control my emotions anywhere. Half of our talks go on with me crying–"

Zach :

"Ana–"

Eshana :

"No. Not just our talks but my whole life goes on with my cries. No one wants to talk to a crybaby. I know. Everyone says they hate tears but that's what I always do and I hate myself for that because I sound like a b*tch asking for attention."

Zach :

"ESHANA! STOP! I don't care about anyone else but listen to me. I do hate to see you cry because...because it hurts me too"

Eshana :

"..."

Zach :

"I hate to see you cry but, I don't hate you Ana, and there's a difference. You aren't a b*tch trying to ask attention. But if you are, then I'll be a one lucky a**hole to give you my full attention *wink*wink* "

Eshana :

"..pfft! haha!" *sniff*

Zach :

"Now stop crying for me, alright?"

Eshana :

"Hmm.."

Zach :

"Good. By the way, I wanted to know, where does your brother work?"

Eshana :

"My brother? In Wefords International Co. LTD, New york. Why do you ask?"

Zach :

"Oh...Just to know, Ana, and what's his name?"

Eshana :

"Amar"

Zach :

"Hm–"

Brad :

"Ash! We gotta go to the hospital before you get infected!"

Zach :

"Coming, Brad!"

Eshana :

"Zach! You need to leave!"

Zach :

"....okay Ana, but before that, do you like talking to me?"

Eshana :

"Huh? Why do you ask that?"

Zach :

"Answer me ana! Yes or no?"

Eshana :

"..."

"Uh. Yeah...I do. You?"

Zach :

"Me too, Ana, me too"

*beep*beep*
