Insomnia Helpline

"No, you're fine."

Amelia

Everett

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

"Welcome to Insomnia Helpline."

"Hey, it's Everett."

Amelia knew it was Everett. She just didn't want to seem so pathetic that he was her one of her only clients.

"Oh, hey Ev. What's up?"

"Nothing much, you?" There was a loud noise in the background that annoyed Amelia.

"I can barely hear you, it's really loud where you're at."

"Beverly, can you please turn your music down?" Everett asked politely.

Oh. Although Amelia said she didn't care, she did, and now she felt bad too. She was interrupting his time with a girl.

"Am I interrupting something? Sorry." She said half-heartedly.

"No, you're fine."

"It's okay, I uh-have something to do."

"Oh. Uh- okay." Everett said, a little surprised, and disappointed.

"I'll call you back, okay?"

"Okay."

That night, Everett spent the entire time looking at his phone waiting for the call while Amelia talked to Caleb.
