ALL MY LIFE

ALL MY LIFE

PART ONE

Charlie Simms sat on his bed, the cordless phone resting I his hand. 'I can't do this. I can't do this. This isn't going to work. I can't do this,' he thought to himself. He didn't know why he was so nervous. It was just a phone call. Just a phone call…

"Charlie!! Hurry up in there! We have to get to dinner!" Someone called from outside his room.

"Coming… just give me like 10 minutes!" Charlie called back and forced himself to dial.

"Hey there! This is Jody Sawyer! Either I'm either out with my guys- haha- or way to busy to answer the phone. Or maybe I'm just way too lazy, who knows. Anyway, leave a message and I'll call you as soon as I get the chance… BEEP!!"

Charlie closed his eyes and began, "Hey Jody. It's me, Charlie. Wow, it's so great to hear your voice again. I've missed you a lot. Umm… I really need to talk to you. I have some big news… and I kinda wanna tell you in person. But since I can't do that… I wanna tell you over the phone while you're on the other end. I really want you… I really need you now. Well, my time is probably running out on here, so, bye now. And who are your guys? Well, bye, miss you lots!" Charlie hung up and sighed.

"CHARLIE!!! COME ON!!" The voice called again from outside his room.

"I'm coming!" Charlie yelled back. He threw the phone back on his bed, and with that, scurried off to dinner.
