Cursing his self for forgetting to silence it, the blonde leaned over and peered at the device, expecting a message from Tree or Jake.
She fully intended to swipe away the notification and roll back over into bed, but the random number caught his attention and caused all traces sleep to vanish, as he eyed the text wearily.

Stormmm I'm bored, have no motivation to write or edit and can't sleep ENTERTAIN ME!!!
Nathan's head spun as several thoughts rushed through his head at once.
Prank?
Crazy Fan?
Stalker?
Newspaper?
Celebrity?
Friend of a friend?
Ex?
There were many reasonable explanation, but to him all of them seemed just as impossible as the last.
The cell was the blonde's private one and only a few selective people had the number. The people in question were his publicist, producer, family, and a few close friends.
He knew very well that none of said people would go behind his back and betray him like that. For this very reason Nathan knew that the phone number couldn't have just been handed out to anyone.
Wondering for a brief second if he should text Tree and ask for help the singer decided to not to. It was to late and he could handle his own issues. The singer didn't have to ask for the women's opinion when it came to simple things.
Realizing he had worked herself up for a situation that was most likely nothing, the blonde tried to relax and typed out a simple message.
Message -Nathan
(??? um...who is this and how did you get this number?)
I mean ignoring it probably would have been easier and definitely more rational, but the blonde was now intrigued, and so instead had decided to throw caution to the wind and see what would happened.
Fortunately he didn't have to wait long, as three bubbles quickly appeared on the screen and disappeared again, indicating that someone was typing.

Storm stop, it's me you sent me your number on Insta remember?
Nathan
Yeah sorry to disappoint but I'm not Storm and I difinitely did not send you my number.
???
Wait, you're being serious?
Nathan
Yep.
???
Shit im so sorry, but my friend sent me her new number and I guess she messed it up.
Nathan
That's alright, I'm just relieved it was a wrong number and not some creepy stalker.
???
Creepy stalker was your first thought
?
Nathan
you wouldn't be surprise if you knew
???
Fair enough
Anyways I'm sorry if I interrupt your evening... morning... afternoon?
IDK I'm just sorry for bothering.
Nathan
No no you're fine and it's morning veryyyy early morning
???
Oh okay
enjoy your early morning
random person:)
Nathan
Thank you
you too:)
Completely relaxed, now that he was certain it wasn't some crazed fan or stalker, the singer attempted to put his phone down and get some shut eye.
Of course just a luck would have it, he was no longer tired and as a result, spend the next hour tossing and turning in his bed.
Finally accepting defeat and switching on the lamp next to him, Nathan grabbed his phone and scrolled through his apps.
Instagram? Nope.
TikTok? Nah.
Spotify? Not in the mood.
He had no idea to what to do in order to occupy his self, he could always try and write something, but it's seems the muscle in his legs had forgotten how to work.
Would it be weird to text the random person again?
I mean he was sure it wasn't anyone that meant to cause him any harm, but you could never be to careful nowadays. The internet was full of trolls and hackers.
"Oh screw it".
Quickly finding the app he went to open it.
However as if his mind had been read a new message came through from the same number.
???
Okayyy
So I know i apologized
for bothering you but you're like the only person awake right now and I'm super bored.
Nathan
I was about to say the same thing
to be honest?
???
Shall we start over?
Nathan
As long as you're not a creepy
stalker or a crazy killer.
???
I-dude...
You know I could say the
same about you!!!
Nathan
You could but you didn't
???
Are you???
Nathan
No
???
I'm not convinced...
Nathan
Neither am I.
???
Well I am not a stalker
or a creepy killer!
I swear!
Nathan
Good :)
???
You know what...
I like you stranger
Nathan
Why thank you, I like me to;)
???
Modest much?
Nathan
Always ?
???
???
What's your name random person?
The singer paused over his keys, should he risk it? I mean what's the worst that could possibly happen?
Tree could kill him for putting his self at risk...
He shrugged.
it was worth it honestly.
Nathan
Nathan and you?
He would keep it as cryptic as possible for now until he knew more, if the person found out who he was, then so be it but the blonde wasn't going to tell them so easily.
???

Nathan

Nathan settled back against his pillow and laughed, he couldn't believe that the others had that kind of humor.
Fifteen

Nathan

mind is just alive!

Nathan

Fifteen

Nathan

Goodnight Stranger :)
Fifteen
Goodnight ?
Smiling softly Nathan switched off his phone and once again settled down under the covers.
Only this time he did fall asleep,his mind at peace with the fact he hadn't had his phone number leaked to a creepy fan or stalker.
On the other side of New York, Fifteen also attempted to get some rest, happy to have been distracted by whoever this person called Nathan was.
The ending to her horrible day hadn't turned out so terrible.
