Unintentional

She wakes up to find darkness all around her. Everything is exactly where she left them but somehow colder. She contemplates staying in bed for a couple more hours, till tomorrow morning maybe but thinks better of it. Gets up and checks her phone. 1 missed call and 1 new message. Her heart beats start beating faster. She doesn't know what to expect. The missed call is from a classmate and she quickly finds out the message is from her too... With a deep sigh she convinces herself to get up. She hates how there isn't anyone to fight with about taking cough syrup, a spoon of honey, and Aspirin. 

After having her tea with milk, she starts working on her assignments. Having a short attention span; she was bored 5 minutes into her research. She misses having someone to give her a pep talk and just being there with her while she worked. She always refused help but just the fact that they were there counts. Moral support, she thought. She quickly gave up doing her assignments and left the library/office to go watch her DVDs in her room.

On her way she thought of all the times he was there but not really there. How he convinced her into almost everything. Her assignments, family gatherings, even when she wasn't up to see her friends but had to. A little laugh was all it took. Taking out Disk One of OTH Season 4, she heard her phone vibrating on the bed. Curious as to who it might be, she hurriedly opened the message.

Hey, how is everything? How were your exams? ...

Her heart starts racing again. Did I send a message and somehow manage to forget? Maybe I called by accident or something?! 

After more than 3 weeks of nothing, she eventually gave up thinking he'll come back. She was almost okay with it as well, seeing as it was mostly her fault. She even got over the fact that they will never go back like they were to her - just friends.

She immediately calls, she couldn't have stopped herself if she wanted.

In human emotions psychology, I learned that rationality can't exist if emotions are involved even in the slightest way. However, recently psychologists are purposing that people can't be rational unless they have emotional judgment. In sum, was the call a rational decision? I'm curious ^__^

MFarazi:
No actually it wasn't a rational decision because it was more based on emotions rather than reasons. If you were to weigh the two in this situation, it would make her decision completely irrational.

The Extravagate:
I don't like it either. So do I hehe and thanks a lot =)
Btw welcome to my blog ;)

I hate it when they pop outta nowhere.. and i dunno if its the surprise or shock that makes you forget everything and talk to them like nothing ever happened in the first place!

and the just friends thing ... i think, it can never be "just friends" something always forms in between.

Yeah I do agree, it's the shock that totally confuses you... Especially if you were thinking of the said person =P
