A Text In Time – Chapter 2 – A Answer Back
Wednesday 17th June 2020. Kurt had a massive hang over. He woke up at the last time in the afternoon of 12pm. His eyes blood shot, his arms and legs killing him, his body lifeless and weak, and his head still tiered and dizzy. But mostly and more then anything he felt sick.
Was it too late to regret last night?
In the end he got out of bed and made his way to the kitchen. He though about cooking a fry up but then the though of the fatty smalls just made him feel even more sick. So he just had a bowl of plain cereal and some black coffee.
After he was finished he watched up his bowl and spoon and was just about to move to start his day when he sore the screen of his phone light up.
1 new message from Love Finder – Message from SoftBear
Oh hell. He knew that app. That was his old dating app. He could have swore he deleted it but apparently not. God what did he do last night? His memory goes blank after the drinking.
He looks at his message that he has sent. The message is flirty. Fuck. He has flirted with a random 28 year old stranger. And the worst part about it was this SoftBear stranger had replied to him.
He couldn't read it though. This guy could be anybody. It could be someone lying about there age. And there profile picture was yogi bear, which means he could look like anything. What is he was ugly?, what is he was bold?, what is it was secretly a woman ? or worse…what if it was a guy but he was a secret serial killer?!
No. He was not reading the reply. It would only lead to more trouble and he had his little girl Lizzy to think about. So what he wanted did not matter. This did not matter.
But he did decide that today he was going to try to be more positive. Today was going to be a new start for him. After all last night was kind of fun, so the world couldn't be all that bad could it?
He started off by getting dressed. He decide he was going to make more of a effort so he went in his wardrobe and decided on a short sleeve dark blue buttoned down t-shirt, some dark grey skinny jeans and some knee high black boots. He then went on to his first task of the day; picking up Lizzy from school.
So he grabbed his keys and began the drive. But his mind was still on the reply of what this SoftBear person just might have said to him. He knew he shouldn't think about it, but what if it was someone out there just like there just like him. Lonely and looking to meet someone again. Maybe even someone looking to find love again like him.
However his thoughts were cut short by the fact that he was now at the school. So breaking out of his daydream he parked up like usel at the school gates waiting in his car for little Lizzy to come out and meet him.
As he was waiting someone tapped on the car window. Please god not today don't let it be Rachel Berry. But it was much worse….it was Blaine. Blaine and his new boyfriend Jackson. He really did not need this today. He hated Jackson with a passion and it had been hard to talk to Blaine even since there divorcer.
It just made him think of all memories they had together when times were good. And how now that was all over and he was all alone.
He really did not want to talk to them, but Blaine was the type of person that would stay there in till you would at least say hello. So he undid his window.
"What?" He said looking at Blaine not in the mood to talk to anybody.
"Hello to you too" Blaine replied laughing "What are you doing here?"
Kurt looked at Blaine in shock and anger "Are you for real. I'm here to put up Lizzy" he said.
Blaine laughed "Have you been drinking?"
"More then likely" Jackson added smirking.
"Yesterday I was, yes why?" he replied.
Blaine laughed more "Because today is Wednesday"
Kurt rolled his eyes "So?" he replied back.
Jackson laughed. "God no wonder you got a divorcer"
Blaine smiled sadly "I pick up and have Lizzy on Wednesday's and Thursday's. Did you forget? Did you take your meds today?"
God he did forget. Both the meds and the days. What an idiot. He feels tears form in his eyes and starts to feel silly. "Of course not….I…I have to go"
And before Blaine had time to reply, Kurt was driving on his to next task; to try and do the food shopping in person rather then online. It had been so long since he went to a shop in person now that he did everything online. He just didn't want to see anybody anymore unless he had too, and they made him feel so on edge.
But a ten minute drive later and he was there at the shops. He could see the people looking at him as he parked up and it already made him feel like turning back but it had come this far that his head was saying to him he could do the rest.
So he got out of the car with the wind hitting his face hard and smalls hitting his nose. He already felt sick and he had only just got out of the car. Not the best way to start things off for today at all.
Now in the shop Kurt picked up a trolley and went around the shop picking up things mostly Lizzy would need for the week and a couple of things for himself. He also got Lizzy a doll that she had, had her eyes on for a while as it was her birthday next week and he never got her anything big, but this year he though she deserved it for putting up with all his bullshit.
Finally he reached the tiles; He felt like a zombie, like his body was ready to shut down on him at any given moment on him. He tried to keep focus on putting the items up ready to be scanted.
And that was when the man said the price.
"That will be $50 please"
Kurt heart sunk like a stone in a river. He could afford that. He had not been working he didn't have that much money. He knew he had to put an item back. The right thing to do would be to put back Lizzy's doll as that coast the most and then he would have enough for the rest.
But he couldn't do that. Sweet, caring, kind Lizzy had her heart set on getting that doll this year; she deserved it. Put he had to put back something, so he decided to put back him food just keeping one microwave meal for himself for tonight's dinner.
An hour and a half later he was back home. He put the shopping away and hid the doll and birthday card under his bed ready to be wrapped up tomorrow. After that he sat at the kitchen table alone and ate his microwave meal for one.
It was horrible and had no taste to it. And the worst part being that it did not full him up enough.
So having just about enough of the day he brushed his teeth, took his meds, did his skin care routine and walked into his room and laid down on his bed.
And that's when the tears started rolling; rolling fast and hard down his pale face and onto the pillow below him. He felt worthless. He wish he could do more for Lizzy, he wished he could be happy again, he wanted his old life back.
Cause at the moment all he felt was numb and nothing but sadness.
He was about to turn to go to sleep when his screen of his phone lit up. Reminding him that he still had one unread message on love finder from this Soft Bear person.
This morning he said to himself he wouldn't read it no matter what. But what id this person really did want to speak to him. To be his friend and be there for him when nobody else is. What if this person can make him feel at least a bit of happiness again?
So with theses questions racing though his mind. He finally opened up the reply message from SoftBear.
Hey KCat! cutie back. Thanks for replying to my message it means a lot to me. Sorry to hear that your single, that sucks I know how you feel. It lovely to see that you speak so openly about your daughter on your profile. I love kids there so sweet and cute. Anyways I though I would reply back so you don't think am rude or one of those guys who only wants one thing. But thanks for the message and for the record if you do ever want to meet up or just want someone to speak with then I always here. – SoftBear
Kurt couldn't believe in. he had to read it 10 times or more just to make super sure that it was really real. A smile spread across his face like a smile that had not been there in what felt like forever. This guy cared about him ; he liked him and wanted to speak with him. And he liked his kids. Which already meant he would probley get along with Lizzy.
So with that and being in a good mood he smiled to himself writing back a reply.
Hi SoftBear! Thank you for that wonderful reply, I think for the first time today in a really long while I have smiled again. I would love to hear more about you and meet up. I can do Friday 19th June as tomorrow is my little girls 6th birthday party. So would then work for you? Let me know I would love to here back from you – KCat
After Kurt sent the reply back to SoftBear, he went to sleep smiling and finally feeling happy and looking forward to something for once.
Lets hope everything goes to plan…
