The Hardest Part of This Is Leaving You

Sophie’s POV

“You saw Frank Iero? No! You’re kidding me! This can’t be true,” Kaydie screams, after I told them what happened. Marissa tries to say something, but she can’t. Her mouth falls open.

“It is true. I wouldn’t lie about that!” I answer, excitedly.

“No way,” Marissa whispers.

“Yes, I did. I’ll proof it,” I say, showing Frank’s autograph.

“It really happened…” Kaydie whispers.

“I can’t believe it,” Marissa says.

“I knew you guys would be jealous,” I yell in excitement.

“Wait a minute… what’s this?”
Confused I look at Kaydie’s finger and see what she is pointing at.

“Is it his number?”

“It says: ‘call me’. So I guess so.”

“It can’t be his number,” I say, confused.

“I think you should call that number.”

“Maybe, I don’t know.”

“Do it!” They say in unison.

“Okay…” Carefully I search for my phone and dial the number. With shaking fingers, I press ‘call’.
After a few rings I hang up.

“And?” Marissa asks, just before Kaydie could say or ask something.

“Voicemail,” I answer, disappointed.

“You should call him back in a while.”

“Do you thinkso?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay, I’ll do that.”

“Tell me, is he hot in real? Or is it just television?”

“No! He’s even hotter!”

“Really? You’re so lucky!”

“Yeah, I know!!”

“What did he say?”

Ten minutes later.

“Really? Was he really nervous?”

“Yup,” I say.

“I think you should call him back now,” Kaydie reminds me.

“Yeah!” Marissa cries in excitement.

“Okay,” I say and reach for my phone.
After three rings I wanted to give up, but then I heard the person pick up his phone.

“Hello?” A male voice asks.
