After dinner I call Derek.

I have to talk to him.

It’s obvious that I’m the reason he hasn’t moved forward with Liv and he’s just too nice of a guy to tell me so.

A few rings later his voicemail comes on: “Hey, this is Derek, leave a message.”

“It’s Brittany,” I say after the “beep”. “Um, call me once you get this message…all right? Okay, by—”

Beep.

Amazing, even his voicemail cuts me off.

Why didn’t he answer?

He’s just probably busy, Britt.

Busy? Busy doing what?

I don’t know.

Ugh, I’m having a conversation with myself…

I end up watching a movie with Mom and Dad, but all I could think about the whole time was that Derek didn’t answer.

So once the movie is over, I tell them good night and then immediately go upstairs to see if he called me back.

He didn’t. Why???

I call him again…and get his voicemail.

So I leave a similar message to the first one and then decide to just go to bed.

After changing into my pajamas and brushing my teeth, I check my phone again.

Nothing—I have half a mind to throw the dang thing across the room.

Instead, I call and leave another message then set it on my nightstand like the sane person that I am.

I climb into bed, determined to forget about the fact that he hasn’t called me back yet.

And yet I find myself glancing at my phone.

What is wrong with me?

Go to sleep, Britt.

I’m not tired though.

I turn my head to see the teddy bear that Blake got me and I grab it before setting it on my stomach. I probably should’ve packed it. But I love this teddy bear.

Well, that’s good.

Focus on the teddy bear…on Blake, not Derek.

I hug it with a sigh.

Good night, Blake.

Then I close my eyes and fall asleep.
