Don't Stop If I Fall

Chapter 9

Sonny's POV
I was roused from my sleep by my cell phone vibrating in my pocket.
I yawned and rubbed my eyes the picked it up.

"...Hello?" I asked, yawning again slighty.

"Hey, Sonny. Sorry to call you so late...I just wanted to hear your voice." said the voice at the other end.
Heat rose to my cheeks and I responded to Gerard.

"H-hi Gerard. Uh, it's fine. I don't care if you call late. Call as late as you want."

"Well...you just sound really tired."

I kicked a pillow out of my way and moved to the foot of the bed, curling my legs under me.

"Eh, whatever. What're you doing?" I asked him.

"Not my homework!" He said, then laughed.

I smiled and pictured his face in my head.

"Ha, me either. You wanna do something tomarrow?" I asked him, hopeful.

"Yeah, sure....Before or after school?" He said, I could tell he was grinning.

"After, smartass. Where do you wanna go?"

"I dunno. We'll figure it out then." He said.

"Ok...well I'll see you tomarrow. Bye..." I said and hung up, smiling.

I curled up and went back to sleep.
