"You did not just make that joke."

Amelia || Everett

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Insomnia Helpline, at your service. How may I help you?"

"Well, you can help me by telling me why I can't sleep"

"Anxiety? Depression"

"Nope, none of the above."

"Okay, well how may I help you?"

"Let's just talk till I fall asleep"

"How about 20 questions?"

"Hm, I like the sound of that. Ladies first"

"Are you assuming my gender?" Amelia laughs at her own joke which she's very proud of.

"Oh my god. You did not just make that joke" Everett disguises his amusement with a groan.

"What? I thought it was funny"

"Whatever helps you sleep at night. let's just start."

"Sucks that I don't sleep at night though. I'm an insomniac too.."

"Oh, sorry."

"It's fine,"

"name?"

"Everett Willicks, yours?''

 Amelia Caverly, but you can call me..anytime. Insert a wink in there."

"Oh my. I can't believe you used that pick up line. I'm cringing so much."

''That's a very unique name."

"Thanks Everett."

"But can I call you Amels? Because honestly, Amelia is a mouthful."

"Amelia?"

"Uh. Yeah sure, you can call me Amels?"

"Are you sure? It's fine, you know. i can keep calling you Amelia."

"No, I'm sure. It's just, no one has called me that in a while."

"Oh, okay."

There's a long pause of silence.

"Anyways, next question, how old are you?"

"Seventeen, how about you?"

"Seventeen, but i'll be eighteen in a month."

"Oh wow! Happy early birthday I guess then."

"Thanks,"

"Do you have any pets?"

"Yes, one golden doodle."

"Shut up! Oh my gosh, are you messing with me?!?"

"No, I can promise you i'm not messing with you."

"Now, now. Don't make promises you can't keep."

"I swear, I have a golden doodle. He's my best friend. His name's Linus."

"As in the character from Charlie Brown?"

"Yeah, he was my favorite character as a kid."

"Aw that's so cute Everett."

"You know what's also cute? Me."

"Aw, but wanna know what's cuter than that?"

"You?"

"No, silly, your dog. Linus. I've always wanted a golden doodle."

"Maybe, one day, if Linus has puppies, you can have one."

"Really? I love you so much right now Everett."

he hums in agreement and a light yawn escapes his lips.

"Everett, can I tell you something?"

she waits for a while, waiting for his answer. A pang of rejection shoots in her chest that he didn't reply yet. 

The, she hears soft snores on the other side of the phone.

"Goodnight Everett," she sighs before turning off the phone and waiting for the next call.
